A nano-pharmaceutical formulation, comprising zein nanoparticles, icariin (ICA) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof encapsulated within the zein nanoparticles, at least one solubilizer, wherein the at least one solubilizer comprises D-a-Tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS), and one or more pharmaceutical penetration enhancers is provided. Methods of enhancing libido by administering a composition as described herein is also provided.

Icariin nano-pharmaceutical formulation

Thioctamer, a nanoconjugate of glatiramer acetate (GA) and thioctic acid (TA), e.g. in the form of nanospheres, is provided as are compositions comprising thioctamer and methods of using the same for wound healing. Application of thioctamer to a wound accelerates wound healing, compared to control wounds that are not treated with the copolymer.

Thioctamer expedites wound healing

A prostate grasping morcellator device and a method of morcellating prostate tissue are described. The prostate grasping morcellator device includes a handpiece portion including a motor which rotates an internal sheath in an external sheath of a rod. The rod is connected to a second end of the handpiece portion. The prostate grasping morcellator device includes one or more retractable grasping nails connected to an end of the rod. The end is distal to the second end of the handpiece portion. The prostate grasping morcellator device includes a control button to control movement of the retractable grasping nails. The control button is mounted adjacent to the second end of the handpiece portion. The prostate grasping morcellator device includes one or more blades, rotated by the motor to morcellate tissue.

Grasping prostate morcellator

A rotatory resectoscope is disclosed with a novel mechanism for endoscopic resection. Resection is performed by a rotary motion instead of the conventional linear motion. A novel resection loop and working element for controlling the movement of the resection loop allow the resection loop to move in clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. Embodiments include both monopolar and bipolar diathermy resectoscopes.

Rotary resectoscope

A nano-pharmaceutical formulation, comprising pumpkin seed oil; D-&#x3b1;-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS); and polyethylene glycol (PEG) 200 is provided. Additional cardioprotective therapies such as quercetin may be included in the formulation. Methods of treating cardiac dysfunction by administering the formulation are also provided.
