摘要:
The present invention provides: a novel metalloprotein, i.e., selenium-lactoferrin; and a process for producing the metalloprotein. Selenium-lactoferrin according to the present invention can be produced suitably by adding a selenium salt to a solution containing lactoferrin and/or apolactoferrin and then subjecting the resultant mixed solution to dialysis or ultrafiltration.Selenium-lactoferrin according to the present invention has an excellent therapeutic effect on corneal and conjunctival diseases, and is suitable for mass production on an industrial scale.
摘要:

摘要:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a feeder cell with less variation in quality. The present invention relates to a feeder cell derived from a tissue stem and/or progenitor cell. A method of preparation of the feeder cell, a method of preparation of a cultured cell using the feeder cell, and a cell culturing kit are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for measuring operating vision. An optotype mark is displayed (step 103). A subject's response to the optotype mark is accepted via an input device (step 104). A determination is made as to whether or not the response is correct (step 105). When the current response of the subject is correct and the previous response or one of the previous response and the last-but-one response is incorrect, an optotype mark corresponding to the same visual acuity is presented (step 112). When the previous response is correct or both the previous response and the last-but-one response are correct, an optotype mark corresponding to a visual acuity one level higher is presented (step 110). When the current response is incorrect, an optotype mark corresponding to a visual acuity one level lower is presented (step 111).
摘要:
A tear secretion quantity examination system for evaluating simply and non-invasively the tear secretion quantity has: a moisture evaporation quantity detection unit for detecting the moisture evaporation quantity from a subject's eye with a humidity sensor; and an operation unit for computing evaluation parameters of the tear secretion quantity based on a detection signal of the moisture evaporation quantity detection unit. The operation means approximates an attenuation portion of saw-tooth responses appearing for each blink in a tear evaporation profile in which the detection value obtained with the humidity sensor is plotted against the time.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for treating a subject having a condition or disease involving apoptosis, which comprises administering an effective amount of albumin to the subject. The apoptosis inhibiting activity of albumin can be increased by administering a cell growth factor such as epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factor, fibroblast growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, insulin-like growth factor, platelet-derived growth factor and nerve growth factor and/or vitamin A together with albumin.
摘要:
The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for treatment of corneal and conjunctival lesion, and dry eye comprising albumin as an active ingredient. The pharmaceutical composition is also useful for increase of eye surface epithelium mucin secretion. The present invention further provides a method for treatment of corneal and conjunctival lesion, and dry eye, which comprises administering, to a subject in need of such treatment, albumin in an amount effective. In addition, the present invention provides a use of albumin for manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition of the present invention.
摘要:
An ODD/EVEN signal, showing whether odd fields or even fields of the image are displayed on a screen, is supplied to each unit operating for data transmission. In accordance with the ODD/EVEN signal, a CPU monitors a current condition of the display image so that data transmission and processing, and use of a data bus, are controlled with exact timing. Consequently, each unit in the apparatus may operate effectively.
摘要:
Disclosed is a novel composition for the treatment of a corneal/conjunctival disease. A prophylactic or therapeutic agent for a corneal/conjunctival disease comprising selenoprotein P as an active ingredient, more specifically a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for a corneal/conjunctival disease such as dry eye, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, superficial punctate keratopathy, corneal erosion or corneal ulcer comprising selenoprotein P as an active ingredient, particularly a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for a corneal/conjuncrtival disease such as dry eye, keratoconjunctivitis sicca, superficial punctate keratopathy, corneal erosion or corneal ulcer accompanied by a corneal/conjunctival epithelial discorder.
