It is intended to provide a novel diagnosis method for a hepatic disease, in particular, HCC. A serum sugar chain usable as a novel biomarker is provided by analyzing the relationship between the quantitative expression profiles of sugar chains in the serum and individual disease conditions and thus finding a sugar chain showing a change with the progression of a hepatic disease.

Disclosed is a method for screening for a medicinal agent that can decrease a body weight, a medicinal agent that can reduce a visceral fat, a medicinal agent that can reduce a triglyceride in the liver, and a medicinal agent that can ameliorate obesity and fatty liver. The method involves a step of measuring the inhibitory activity of a candidate substance on a sphingomyelin synthase, wherein the candidate substance is determined to have at least one function selected from the group consisting of an anti-obesity agent, a visceral fat-reducing agent, a fatty liver-treating agent and an adiponectin expression enhancer when the candidate substance has an inhibitory activity on the sphingomyelin synthase.

To accomplish a stable quantum communication having a high efficiency without being affected by the jitters of messenger signals. In a quantum encryption transmitter apparatus (200), a pulse-driven messenger single-photon source (201) generates a pair of photons, one of which is outputted as a quantum signal and the other of which is outputted as a messenger signal. A timing adjuster (202) outputs the messenger signal, as a trigger signal, in synchronism with a clock signal used to pulse drive the pulse-driven messenger single-photon source (201). A quantum signal modulating part (203) modulates the quantum signal in accordance with the timing of the trigger signal, and transmits the modulated quantum signal to a quantum encryption receiver apparatus (300) via a quantum communication path (101). A messenger signal transmitting part (205) transmits the messenger signal to the quantum encryption receiver apparatus (300) via a messenger signal communication part (102). A clock signal transmitting part (206) transmits the clock signal to the quantum encryption receiver apparatus (300) via a clock communication part (103).

A radio device (1000) separates the signal from a specific terminal among from the signals from adaptive array antennas (#1 to #4) according to a reception weight vector calculated by a reception weight vector calculator (20). A reception coefficient vector calculator (22) derives an impulse response of a propagation path of the signal from the specific signal. A transmission coefficient vector inferring device (32) predicts the propagation path at the transmission time from the results of the inference by the reception coefficient vector (22). A transmission weight vector calculator (30) controls the antenna directivity at the transmission time according to the results of the prediction by the transmission coefficient vector inferring device (32). In such a way, the degradation of the error rate of the downstream line due to time difference between the upstream and downstream lines can be suppressed.
摘要:
It is possible to highly accurately measure the oxygen concentration of a substance to be measured without being influenced by the intensity of excitation light (L1), the concentration of fluorescent material, and the surrounding environment. Pulsed excitation light (L1) including a wavelength that can excite a fluorescent material contained in living matter is generated. The fluorescence lifetime (Tf) of the fluorescent material is longer than or equal to 4.8 nanoseconds. A predetermined position in the living matter is illuminated with the pulsed excitation light (L1). Further, light including fluorescence (Lf) emitted from the fluorescent material excited by illumination with the pulsed excitation light (L1) is received. The lifetime (Tf) of the fluorescence (Lf) included in the received light is calculated by time-resolving the intensity of the fluorescence (Lf) . Further, the oxygen concentration of the living matter is measured based on the lifetime (Tf)

The pH is measured by generating pulsed excitation-light (L1) including a wavelength that can excite a plurality of kinds of fluorescent-material in living matter that act as coenzyme in oxidation/reduction reaction in vivo, and the intensity of the light not damaging a tissue nor a cell and substantially not changing pH, and by illuminating a predetermined position in the living matter with the light (L1), and by receiving fluorescence (Lf), and by resolving the intensity of the fluorescence (Lf) into time domains the number of which is greater than that of the fluorescent-material, and by detecting the intensities of the fluorescence (Lf) in the respective time domains, and by obtaining approximate-curves having gradients unique to the fluorescent-materials based on the intensities in the respective time domains, and by calculating fluorescence lifetimes (Tf) of at least two of the plurality of kinds of fluorescent-material based on the approximate-curves, and by measuring the pH of the living matter based on the lifetimes (Tf).
