[Comparative study of several sulfurated mineral water sources from Iasi County]. / Studiul comparativ al unor surse de ape minerale sulfuroase din Judetul Iasi.

The comparative study aimed the actualization of the analytical panel of some mineral water sources, sulfurated, iso- and hypertonic (existing in Nicolina area, Iasi county), that is the constant physico-chemical composition, in order to signal the alteration of water's quality. From the performed analysis, along the time and the presented ones, it can be observed than the sources maintain intact, along many decades, the chemical composition and their physical characteristics, and also their therapeutical action, due to the fact they are localised deep underground.

[Analytical data on the aquifer strata in the city of Iasi]. / Date analitice ale unor panze acvifere din municipiul Iasi.

In this paper are presented the results of the analytical study of some sources of water from Botanic Garden, Iasi, Romania. This sources contained a distinguished water, hypo and hypertonic, which can be used as curative magnesiene water.

[Analytical data on the mineral water sources of the Botanical Gardens, Iasi]. / Date analitice ale unor surse de ape minerale de la Gradina Botanica--Iasi.

The paper presents a comparative analytical study of five sources of mineral water at the Botanical Gardens, Iasi, Romania, to assess the possibility of its being used as either drinking or curative water.

[Pell-Nicol, a medicinal toothpaste]. / Pell-Nicol, pasta de dinti medicinala.

A medicinal toothpaste based on an atomized extract obtained out of sulfurous mud of Nicolina Iassy (a natural organic-mineral complex) has been formulated and physico-chemically characterized. The optimal formula has been chosen corresponding to following parameters: aspect, colour, taste, smell; weight/tube (65 g +/- 5%); Dentine Abrasion Value (D. A. V.) = 30; pH = 6.95-7.42; foaming capability of foam, in minutes = 0.40-0.60; residue on the sieve (g% = 0.09); heavy metals content; abrasive substances; g% = 32-37 at least; sodium chloride g% = 0.30 at least; firmness time = 30 sec. Also it have been effectuated rheological measurements and dynamic viscosity. The medicinal toothpaste Pell-Nicole presents a plastic behaviour with thixotropic character, which confers a good stability in time, an adequate firmness and comparable properties with others marketed products. The therapeutical effects have been tested, such as the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory actions. The medicinal dentifrice toothpaste Pell-Nicole is recommended for gum affections, superficial chronic inflammatory forms, deep paradontopathies, as well as for a proper dental hygiene.

[The physicochemical characterization and therapeutic evaluation of Cicatrol]. / Caracterizarea fizico-chimica si evaluarea terapeutica a produsului Cicatrol.

Cicatrol ointment with the formula: argentic sulphamethoxydiasine 1 g, bentonite hydrogel 12.5% for 100 g is manufactured at the Microproduction Laboratory of the Faculty of Pharmacy of Iasi. The one-year physicochemical determinations of the aspect, colour, homogeneity, pH, rheological behaviour and relative viscosity, content in argentic sulphamethoxydiasine as well as "in vitro" antimicrobial activity of Cicatrol showed a good stability and gel properties enabling an uniform and long-term contact with the wound. The clinical investigations carried out until now in patients with burns, varicose ulcers, trophic shank ulcers, superficial phlebitis with atonic ulcerations or wounds with multiple sites revealed its remarkable therapeutic value. As compared to other similar products, Cicatrol by its aseptic properties favours the scarring of any type of wound, a normal skin, without keloid scars being obtained, it also being well tolerated.

[The surgical treatment of high myopia with dura mater. The results obtained long term (a clinical study)]. / Tratamentul chirurgical al miopiei forte cu dura-mater. Rezultate obtinute pe termen lung (studiu clinic).

The paper presents the postoperative results obtained by performing scleroplasty with dura-mater in 127 progressive myopic eyes. The authors consider that the homologue dura-mater represents a high quality material to make scleral plasties. The evolution of myopia has ceased in over 60% of the cases.
