摘要:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide an anticancer agent for potentiating an antitumor effect, alleviating side effects, and further extending the survival rate by concomitant use with a component having an anticancer effect. An anticancer agent combining arctigenin and a component other than arctigenin that has an anticancer effect, in which the anticancer agent may be a combination drug or may be a kit configured from a formulation containing arctigenin and a formulation containing a component that has an anticancer effect, and the concomitant use of arctigenin and the component having an anticancer effect more strongly inhibits tumor growth and reduces the proportion of cancer stem cells in the tumor, making it possible to extend the total survival time and to alleviate side effects caused by the component having an anticancer effect.

Disclosed is a thermostable DNA polymerase preparation which can illimitably reduce the risk of false positivity in the detection of a subject microorganism utilizing a gene amplification reaction and therefore enables the selective amplification of DNA for detecting the subject microorganism even when the amount of the subject microorganism is small and therefore the amount of DNA collected therefrom is extremely small, and can be produced at a reduced cost. Also disclosed is a method for quantifying or quantifying/identifying a subject organism to be detected rapidly, conveniently and with high sensitivity using the preparation of the present invention.

An object is to provide a TCR closing system that enables not only bias-free analysis of TCR repertoires, but also collection of antigen-specific TCR α/β cDNA pairs and evaluation of functions thereof. There is provided a method for producing a gene of T cell receptor (TCR) specific to an antigen A, which comprises 1) the step of stimulating a group of T cells including a T cell specific to an antigen A or one T cell specific to an antigen A under a condition effective for amplification of a TCR gene; 2) the step of identifying a T cell specific to an antigen A among the group of T cells including a T cell specific to the antigen A, and sorting one T cell specific to the antigen A into a vessel; and 3) the step of subjecting the one activated T cell specific to the antigen A in the vessel to PCR to amplify a gene of TCR specific to the antigen A. According to the present invention, a target TCR gene can be cloned within a shorter time compared with that repaired by the conventional methods, for example, about ten days. Further, according to the present invention, genes of TCR α chain and β chain can be highly efficiently cloned. Under the conditions of the examples, a pair of a TCR α chain and TCR β chain could be obtained from stimulated T cells sorted as single cells at a ratio of 100%.
摘要:
A three-dimensional guide for a wire for forming a pedicle screw insertion hole is produced based on a CT image of a spine, and includes a contact surface section that comes in surface contact with a morphological surface of a bone at an insertion site, and a guide block section that is provided upright from the contact surface section. The guide block section has a guide hole that restricts the insertion direction of the wire. The guide hole has an inner diameter slightly larger than the outer diameter of the wire. The guide hole has a length of 15 to 30 mm to restrict the insertion position and the insertion direction of the wire.

To ensure that a biodegradable medical implement dissolves in vivo at an appropriate dissolution rate. The biodegradable medical implement of the present invention is formed of a magnesium material, and, at least in one transverse section, a layer of magnesium crystal grains in which a (0001) plane in a hexagonal crystal structure is oriented toward a surface side is continuous over an entire circumference.

A hydrocarbon synthesis catalyst is for reacting a raw material gas including hydrogen and carbon dioxide to convert to hydrocarbons, wherein when elemental analysis of a surface of the hydrocarbon synthesis catalyst to be brought into contact with the raw material gas is performed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), 15 to 65% by mass of Fe, 10 to 40% by mass of O, 0.04 to 30% by mass of Na, 0 to 15% by mass of Ni, and 5 to 30% by mass of Cr are detected.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a wound contact member (or “contact layer”) that directly promotes wound healing when continuously performing negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). As a solution, there is provided dry amniotic membrane manufactured by a specified drying process, that is, raw amniotic membrane placed inside a processing tank (10) is continuously heated using an infrared heater (14) provided inside the processing tank (10) while performing a depressurization operation that places the processing tank in a depressurized state and irradiation of the raw amniotic membrane with microwaves from a microwave generating device (30) provided inside the processing tank (10) to apply energy to water molecules present inside the amniotic membrane and cause drying during a pressure recovery operation that slightly raises the pressure inside the depressurized processing tank (10) toward atmospheric pressure. Amniotic membrane, which has been dried by repeating the above process and thereby retains its cell and tissue structure, is used as a contact layer when performing negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) on an open abdominal wound and/or wound dehiscence, which increases the healing effect of NPWT.
摘要:
An examination system that recognizes a glycosylated antigen in Dane particles of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and a neutralizing antibody that recognizes the glycosylated antigen and that exhibits an infection-inhibiting activity. It was elucidated that Dane particles are associated with specific glycan structures, and this enabled the construction of a new detection system for infectious, i.e., nucleic acid-containing, hepatitis B virus particles and the provision of a neutralizing antibody that recognizes a glycosylated antigen and that exhibits an infection-inhibiting activity.
