The most efficient tablet processing method is direct compression. For this method, the filler-binder can be made by coprocessing via spray drying method. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of spray dried co-processing on microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) PH 101, lactose and Kollidon® K 30 as well as to define the optimum proportions. Spray dried MCC PH 101, lactose, and Kollidon® K 30 were varied in 13 different mixture design proportions to obtain compact, free-flowing filler-binder co-processed excipients (CPE). Compactibility and flow properties became the key parameters to determine the optimum proportions of CPE that would be compared to their physical mixtures. The result showed that the optimum proportion of CPE had better compactibility and flow properties than the physical mixtures. The optimum CPE, consisting of only MCC PH 101 and Kollidon® K 30 without lactose, that were characterized using infrared spectrophotometer, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) indicated no chemical change therein. Therefore, this study showed that spray dried MCC PH 101, lactose and Kollidon® K 30 could be one of the filler-binder alternatives for direct compression process.

The present investigation arises from experiments undertaken to determine autographically the varying relations between the magnitude of electrical change and the magnitude of stimulation in nerve under various chemical conditions.


Attention has previously been directed by one of us to the existence of a differential septum enclosing the seeds of Hordeum (barley). When the seeds are immersed in aqueous solutions of most electrolytes, and of many non-electrolytes, this covering behaves as a very efficient differential septum, water alone entering the seeds under the attractive influence of the finely granulated contents. The rate at which the water enters is considerably affected if substances are dissolved in it, being increased by some and diminished by others; it is also markedly dependent on the temperature of the water or solution in which the seeds are immersed. Variations of the rate at which water enters with alterations of the experimental conditions are presumably due mainly to changes in the water, and the seeds of Hordeum would thus appear to be a very suitable medium for the investigation of the nature of the changes produced in water by the presence of dissolved substances or by alterations of temperature.

A study of the oocytes of the earthworm, Pheretima posthuma, examined fresh under the phase-contrast and interference microscopes as well as by histochemical techniques, has revealed that there are two types of lipid bodies in the cytoplasm. The lipid bodies of the first type (L1) are smaller, appear as homogeneous, dark granules under the phase-contrast microscope, and have a protein-phospholipid core surrounded by a thick sheath of phospholipids only. The lipid bodies of the second category (L2), which arise as a result of growth and chemical change in L1 bodies, have a pure phospholipid core surrounded by a thick triglyceride sheath. They give a ringed appearance under the phase-contrast microscope. The study under the interference microscope shows that this ringed appearance is an optical artifact. The lipid spheres present in the follicular epithelium contain phospholipids only. The mitochondria are in the form of minute granules. They remain unchanged throughout oogenesis. Some vacuoles devoid of any lipids, proteins, or carbohydrates have been observed. They also remain unchanged. Pure triglyceride spheres, yolk globules, nucleolar extrusions, as well as cholesterols and cholesteryl esters are absent.
