The invention provides a particulate construct such as microcapsules containing a drug, and serving a slow releasing preparation not associated with a practically unacceptable initial burst release but showing a practically acceptable zero-order release for a certain period and a producing method for such particulate construct, and a slow releasing preparation of a high drug content capable of stably incorporating the drug in the particulate construct such as microcapsules, and a producing method for such preparation. The invention also provides a particulate construct such as microcapsules utilizing a highly functional polymer compound and incorporating oil phase and/or water phase in solid phase, and a producing method therefor. Furthermore, the invention provides a particulate construct such as microcapsules having a hollow structure of a single polymer membrane as the outer shell and capable of containing many bubbles in the fine particles, and a producing method capable of preparing such construct with a high reproducibility. According to the invention, a particulate construct such as microcapsules is formed with polyhydroxyalkanoate of a specified structure and a drug for a desired purpose, an oil phase and/or a water phase, or a gaseous phase is included in such construct.

Electrostatic charge image developing toner allows to design the toner characteristics such as chargeability, flowability, stability in time and environmental stability uniform among the toners of different colors. The toner has a small particle size enough for enabling uniform dispersion and being excellent in color saturation and transparency. The toner also shows higher contribution to the environmental security. The toner includes a coloring agent of which at least a part of the surface is covered with polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). The toner is produced by dispersing the coloring agent in aqueous medium, then fixing PHA synthesizing enzyme to the coloring agent dispersed in the aqueous medium, then adding 3-hydroxyacyl CoA, and executing a PHA synthesizing reaction to cover at least a part of the surface of the coloring agent with PHA. The toner thus obtained is used for an image forming method.
摘要:
Lipid is determined quantitatively by treating a sample with a surfactant in an aqueous medium to obtain a liquid sample dispersion, then reacting the dispersion with a reagent containing cupric ion and bicinchoninic acid, and measuring a colored state developed by complex formation of bicinchoninic acid with cuprous ion formed from cupric ion in the presence of lipid. This method can be effectively applied to determination of amphiphilic lipid having a tendency of gathering in an aqueous medium. Further, two different species interfering with each other in quantitative determination thereof are determined respectively by conducting two different determination methods on the same sample followed by calculation using the values obtained.

Provided are a novel probe for a hair cell for clearly identifying various conditions of a hair cell, and a labelling method for a hair cell using the probe for a hair cell, more particularly, a probe for a hair cell containing, as an active agent, at least one kind selected from staining compounds represented by one of the general formulae (I) and (II), and a labelling method for a hair cell using the probe for a hair cell.
摘要:
An amino acid (1040) capable of coordinately binding to a metallic complex (1020) is introduced to an active site (1030) within the enzyme (1000) or another controlled position near the active site. Therefore, when a mediator is introduced into the enzyme, a mediator-introduced position is controlled to be held at or near the active site.
