摘要:
The present invention relates to dextran whose boron content is reduced to a value less than 0.30 mu g/g (dry basis) calculated on the basis of boron atom, a process for producing the same, and dextran with which a container is filled in a solution state. Dextran of the present invention is obtained by treating a boron-containing dextran with a lower alcohol, and said dextran has such a characteristic that deposition is inhibited or the deposition rate is drastically reduced when using it in the form of a solution. Therefore, an isotonic sodium chloride solution of said dextran is suitably used as substitute plasma or external perfusate in an operation.
摘要:
A dextran-containing composition for promoting bacterial proliferation which aims at selectively proliferating L. casei subsp. casei. By using this composition, L. casei subsp. casei can be selectively proliferated and fixed in the intestines of human or animals without taking L. casei subsp. casei as needed. It is also possible thereby to selectively grow and proliferate indigenous L. casei subsp. casei in the intestine. Thus, various biological activities of L. casei subsp. casei can be sustained in vivo.
摘要:
Provided is a bacteriostatic composition for salmonellae containing, as the active ingredient, a fermented broth obtained by effecting fermentation with the use of a lactic acid bacteriium belonging to the genus Leuconostoc, Streptococcus or Streptobacterium in a sucrose-containing medium, or a preparation originating in the supernatant obtained by subjecting the fermented broth to fractional precipitation from a water-miscible organic solvent.
摘要:
A peptide containing 5 to 10 amino acid residues corresponding to the fragment originating in the amino acid residues of a 41-KD subunit protein constituting the fimbriae of Porphyromonas gingivalis, a derivative thereof, and salts of these compounds. The invention also provides a composition containing these substances for diagnosing periodontal diseases, a vaccine containing a part of them for preventing periodontal diseases, and an oral composition for preventing or treating periodontal diseases containing an antibody obtained by immunizing an animal with this peptide. As compared with the above protein and a peptide comprising 20 amino acid residues thereof, the invention peptide is reduced in nonspecific reactivities and can safely be used in preparing the above compositions.
摘要:
A polysaccharide/magnetic metal oxide composite comprising a polysaccharide derivative prepared by carboxylalkyl-etherification or unsubstituted or substituted aminoalkyl-etherification (wherein the carboxyl group and/or the amino group may be in salt form) of a polysaccharide. The composite has slow blood clearance and low toxicity and is useful as a contrast medium for nuclear magnetic resonance imaging.
摘要:
A DNA coding for cell-surface polypeptides of Porphyromonas gingivalis, and a recombinant DNA containing the above DNA integrated thereinto. A microorganism containing the recombinant DNA can produce cell-surface polypeptides of periodontal disease bacteria, useful for preventing and diagnosing periodontal diseases, in a large quantity.
摘要:
A composite having a small particle diameter and composed of a water-soluble carboxypolysaccharide and a magnetic iron oxide having a core diameter ranging from about 2 to about 7 nm, wherein the overall diameter ranges from about 10 to about 50 nm, the ratio of the overall diameter to the core diameter is about 15 or less, and the T2 relaxation capacity ranges from about 10 to about 150 (mM.sec)-1. The composite is reduced in toxicity and side effects and is useful as iron preparation, X-ray contrast medium, MRI contrast medium, reagent for blood stream measurement, drug carrier, and so forth in the fields of medicine, biology and engineering.
摘要:
A composition containing ultrafine particles of a magnetic metal oxide, characterized by comprising an aqueous sol of a composite consisting of the ultrafine particles and a polysaccharide, its derivative and/or a protein, and an organic monocarboxylic acid. This composition is useful in the fields of medicines, diagnostic chemicals and so forth, because it is free from side effects such as platelet agglutination, is excellent in the safety for living organism, and does not adversely affect the living organisms even when administered in the blood vessel.
摘要:
An oxidized composite comprising a water-soluble carboxypolysaccharide and ultrafine magnetic iron oxide particles. It has an extremely reduces toxicity and an excellent stability, exhibits scarcely any or no hypotensive activity even if directly administered into the blood vessel of an animal, is reduced in the activity of platelet agglutination, and is useful in the medical field as, for example, a contrast medium for MRI and a pyrogenic agent for thermotherapy.
