The present invention provides a method for examining colorectal cancer and colorectal adenoma, which enables to detect colorectal cancer patients and patients at high risk of colorectal cancer at a high probability and is useful for diagnosis of colorectal cancer and colorectal adenoma, and provides the examination reagents thereof. The present inventors discovered that there are significant differences in the distribution of GlcNAc-6-sulfotransferase isozymes, sulfation enzymes of sugar residues, among non-cancer colorectal tissues, colorectal cancer tissues and colorectal adenoma tissues. Furthermore the inventors applied the discovery to diagnosis and found that colorectal cancers and adenomas are detected specifically by assaying a definite range of GlcNAc-6-sulfated sugar residues in tissues from patients or feces samples. MECA-79 antibody (Pharmingen, catalog No. 09961D, Distributor: Becton Dickinson), reacting with GlcNAc-6-sulfated sugar residues, which are produced specifically by the enzyme present in colorectal cancer and colorectal adenoma tissues could be used for the examination of colorectal cancers and colorectal adenomas.

A three-dimensional analyzing device includes a first beam source for generating a first beam, a second beam source for generating a second beam, an optical system for spatially overlapping the first and second beams at least partly and irradiating the beams onto a specimen to three-dimensionally confine a photoactive region in a specimen, and a photo acceptance element for accepting a response light emitted from the photoactive region. Preferably, the device further includes an operation unit for calculating a correlation function of a response light in the time domain based on the output of the photo acceptance element to analyze a desired physical value of the specimen.
摘要:
A NTCDA single crystal is used as a photoelectric current multiplier layer, and Au thin films are formed as electrodes on the opposite surfaces of the multiplier layer by a vapor deposition method to form a sandwich type cell. When a voltage is applied to the NTCDA single crystal by the electrodes from a dc power source and a monochromatic light is applied, a multiplied photoelectric current flows between the electrodes. A rise of this element at light-on is considerably faster than when a vapor-deposited layer is used as a photoelectric current multiplier layer to permit a faster response.

The objective is to present compositions obtained by supporting by polymers micro clusters of transition metals and the like that are useful as catalysts in various reactions and, once used, are readily recovered and reused.A polymer-supported metal cluster composition is obtained by supporting a transition metal by a cross-linked polymer, and the polymer-supported cluster composition is characterized by the cross-linked polymer obtained by cross-linking of a cross-linkable polymer containing a hydrophilic side chain and a hydrophobic side chain group having a cross-linkable functional group. This polymer-supported metal cluster composition is, for example, preferably formed by first forming a micelle composed of the metal clusters supported by the cross-linkable polymer in a suitable solution and subsequently subjecting the cross-linkable polymer to a cross-linking reaction. The composition is useful as a catalyst and the like in hydrogenation reactions, dehydrogenation reactions, allylic substitution reactions, oxidation reactions, coupling reactions and carbonylation reactions.
