The present invention provides an odorant composition having good palatability allowing peoples to feel comfortable using a small number of chemical compounds. An odorant composition according to an embodiment of the present invention consists of: when the total mass of ingredients contained in the odorant composition is 100.0% by mass, 40.0% by mass or more and 97.5% by mass or less of an ingredient (A) composed of aldehydes; 1.0% by mass or more and 20.0% by mass or less of an ingredient (B) composed of a ketone(s); and the balance being an ingredient (C) composed of a chemical compound(s) other than the ingredient (A) and the ingredient (B). The aldehydes of the ingredient (A) are: an essential ingredient (A1) composed of nonanal; and an optional ingredient (A2) selected from the group consisting of decanal, heptanal, octanal, benzaldehyde, undecanal, hexanal, and combinations thereof. The ketone(s) of the ingredient (B) is selected from the group consisting of 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, cyclohexanone, 1-phenylethanone, 2-decanone, 2-undecanone, and combinations thereof. The chemical compound(s) of the ingredient (C) is selected from the group consisting of limonene, 1,8-cineole, menthol, 1-octanol, 3-hexyn-1-ol, 2-nonen-1-ol, dodecane, hexanoic acid, octanoic acid, nonanoic acid, 2(5H)-furanone, p-cymene, sotolon, and combinations thereof.

A method for determining a prognosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, comprising the following steps (a) to (c) : (a) a step of detecting an amount of at least one protein selected from S100A4, CIRP, and 14-3-3γ for a biological sample separated from the test subject; (b) a step of comparing the amount of the protein detected in the step (a) with a standard amount of the protein; and (c) a step of determining that the prognosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis of the test subject is poor in a case where as a result of the comparison in the step (b), the amount of the protein in the test subject is higher than the standard amount.

A cell observation system 1 observes a cell 30 moving in a flow path 10 with a fluid 20, and includes a first imaging apparatus 40, a second imaging apparatus 50, and a control device 60. The first imaging apparatus 40 includes a first optical system 41 and a first imaging element 42, and captures an image of the cell at a first position in a moving direction of the cell in the flow path. The second imaging apparatus 50 includes a second optical system 51, in which a focus is adjusted based on a focus adjustment signal, and a second imaging element 52, and captures an image of the cell at a second position downstream of the first position. The control device 60 obtains a passing position of the cell in a cross section of the flow path based on the image obtained by imaging by the first imaging element 42, generates the focus adjustment signal based on the obtained passing position, and provides the signal to the second optical system 51. Thus, a cell observation system capable of relaxing restriction of a flow speed of a cell due to a focusing speed is realized.

An accurate measurement can be made of the light absorbance of deep layer tissue such as in a human body or a fruit. The thickness of fat is computed (104). A first specific distance and a second specific distance corresponding to the computed fat thickness are computed based a predetermined relationship between the fat thickness, the first specific distance, and measurement sensitivity of a surface layer and measurement sensitivity of a deep layer when light is received at a position the first specific distance away from a light emitting means (106). A third specific distance and a fourth specific distance are computed corresponding to the computed fat thickness based on a predetermined relationship between the fat thickness, the third specific distance and a measurement sensitivity of an intervening layer and a measurement sensitivity of the deep layer when light is received at a position the third specific distance away from the light emitting means (108).
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide an antigen delivery complex or a drug delivery complex, which is safe, has a high titer, and permits large-scale production and preservation and is a cell- or organ-oriented. The present invention provides an antigen or drug delivery complex containing a complex of an antigen or drug and a cationic molecule, and an anionic molecule encapsulating the same, and oriented to a cell or organ.

摘要:
It is an object of the present invention to provide an objective and simple method for determining the degree of risk of onset of autism, using a biological marker, and to enable to provide an appropriate treatment to the autistic patient at an early stage by finding an autistic patient at an early stage using the aforementioned method. The present invention relates to a method for determining the degree of risk of onset of autism, comprising the step of measuring the triglyceride concentration or the cholesterol concentration in a very low-density lipoprotein fraction of plasma or serum isolated from a subject, or the triglyceride concentration or the cholesterol concentration of plasma or serum. In addition, the present invention provides a kit for determining the degree of risk of onset of autism and a method for screening for a candidate substance for agents for treating autism using a non-human mammal, in which the above described method is utilized.
