PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To comprehensively test a cognitive function of a subject and diagnose the presence/absence of mild cognitive impairment by considering age of the subject.SOLUTION: A diagnostic system for presence/absence of mild cognitive impairment includes: means (32) for acquiring test data, with respect to each of a test for logical immediately-memorizing ability, a test for visual space cognition ability, a test for word immediately-memorizing ability, a test for cognitive function including orientation, memorizing ability, calculating ability, linguistic ability and figurative ability, a test for attention function, a test for performance function, a test for information processing ability, a test for suppressing function, a test for word subsequently-reproducing ability and a test for logical subsequently-recognizing ability; means (31) for acquiring age data for a subject; and means (22) for diagnosing whether the subject has mild cognitive impairment by comparing the test data for at least one of the tests with the test data obtained by executing the at least one of the tests for multiple persons in an age range corresponding to the age data.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a root canal filling material for use in a tooth extraction or non-tooth extraction treatment, which is easily obtained, can be clinically applied, and can efficiently promote dental tissue regeneration, and to provide a dental tissue regeneration method using the same.SOLUTION: This root canal filling material 200, which contains mesenchymal stem cells 220 except dental pulp stem cells and an extracellular matrix 210, is inserted into the apical side of the root canal after pulpectomy or after the enlargement and cleaning of an infected root canal. The dental tissue regeneration method by the tooth extraction or non-tooth extraction treatment includes a step of injecting the root canal filling material into the apical side of the root canal of a non-extracted tooth after the pulpectomy or after the enlargement and cleaning of the infected root canal.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging probe for OCT that can be safely inserted into a living body, and scan and emit light and receive the reflected light.SOLUTION: A probe 30 is attached with a transparent attachment 38. When the probe emits and scans laser light and receives the reflected light, the emitted light and the received light pass through the inside of the attachment 38. The attachment attached to the imaging probe is inserted into a hole drilled in the lower jawbone for implant treatment. Thus a cross-sectional image of the section scanned by an OCT apparatus can be acquired, and the canalis mandibulae can be prevented from being damaged during drilling for implant treatment.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a support device used for supporting standing motion, seating motion and walking movement motion of a care-receiver having difficulty in standing up and walking.SOLUTION: A standing/seating movement support device includes: armrest plate bodies 100 on which the elbows, the fore-arms and the hands of a care-receiver are placed and to which the body weight is applied; lifting/lowering frames 300 that slidingly lift the armrest plate bodies 100 diagonally upward or lower the armrest plate bodies 100 diagonally backward with respect to the body axis of the care-receiver, while retaining the armrest plate bodies 100 horizontally; and bases 400 that are movable on a floor face by having wheels 430 between their selves and the floor face. The armrest plate bodies 100 include, on the upper faces thereof, hand holds 120 that can be held with the hands of the care-receiver and extend in the vertically direction.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a biological pulp capping agent for treating dental caries and pulpitis and a drug for treating pulpitis. SOLUTION: In dental caries or pulpitis, after removing the dental caries, MMP3 is applied to the dentine within a cavity or applied to the surface of exposed pulp or the amputated surface of vital pulp together with a scaffold. By so doing, the migration of dental pulp stem cells or endothelial precursor cells to the surface of wounded dental pulp and their multiplication are promoted to inhibit the apoptosis of damaged cells, and angiogenesis and regeneration of dentine and dental pulp are promoted.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an anti-inflammatory agent and a cytokine-inducing agent based on a new action mechanism and having a high safety, and further a method for screening a substance inducing and suppressing the expression of an inflammatory cytokine. SOLUTION: The new anti-inflammatory agent and cytokine-inducing agent based on a new finding that γ-GTP (γ-glutamyltranspeptidase) induces the inflammatory cytokines (MIP-1, IL-6, IL-1, etc.) are provided. Also, the screening method based on the new finding is also provided. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple method for predicting a crisis of alzheimer disease.SOLUTION: As a result of identification of metabolites whose abundances are significantly different between an alzheimer disease model mouse and a wild type mouse, it is found that (±)17,18-dihydroxy-eicosa-5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-tetraenoic acid (17,18-DiHETE) and (±)19,20-dihydroxy-4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z-docosapentaenoic acid (19,20-DiHDoPE) exist at a significantly high level in a brain and plasma of the alzheimer disease model mouse. That is, it is possible to predict a crisis of alzheimer disease by detecting at least one of 17,18-DiHETE and 19,20-DiHDoPE.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an antibody that specifically binds to Aβ oligomers and uses thereof, and more particularly, an antibody that specifically binds to Aβ oligomers, a method of measuring Aβ oligomers using the antibody, a method of diagnosing Alzheimer disease using the antibody, and a drug containing the antibody.SOLUTION: A monoclonal antibody specific to only soluble Aβ oligomers but that does not recognize soluble Aβ monomers which are physiological molecules can be successfully manufactured. The antibody is found to be useful as a monoclonal antibody for the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer disease.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such problems that a conventional nondestructive examination of false teeth is proposed by using X-rays or ultrasound and does not make an accurate evaluation and that images of surfaces and internal parts of the false tooth are not obtained especially in an non-invasive and simultaneous manner since the secular variations of the false tooth on which repair or lining are performed are determined by the status inside the oral cavity of a wearer or doctor's questions/a visual inspection and are not evaluated by objective evaluation methods. SOLUTION: This invention provides an apparatus for making an evaluation inexpensively and instantly by using OCT or optical coherence tomography and the method for obtaining damage of the internal part of the false tooth by an image in order to contribute to dental treatments and for evaluating by capturing three-dimensional images of the false tooth by using the method when manufacturing the false tooth or at a place of adjusting to fix the false tooth.
