Disclosed are: a marker for the diagnosis of a liver disease, which can determine the disease in a simple manner; an antibody directed against the marker; a diagnostic agent; a diagnosis method; and a method for marker detection in blood or serum. Proteome analysis revealed that quantities of the full-length kininogen and three partial peptides thereof (sequence A: position-440 to position-456, sequence B: position-439 to position-456, and sequence C: position-438 to position-456) in sera of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are significantly different from those in sera of healthy individuals; and a diagnostic agent and a detecting method for the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease that can be conveniently used for medical examination are established. The use of a combination of a kininogen-based marker and a C4-based marker (the full length sequence or partial peptides thereof) enables identification of chronic hepatitis and an asymptomatic virus carrier, as well as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

In a formation method for forming a fine structure in a workpiece (30) containing an etching control component, using an isotropic etching process, a mask (32, 34) having an opening (36) is applied to the workpiece, and the workpiece is etched with an etching solution (38) to thereby form a recess (40), corresponding to a shape of the opening, in a surface of the workpiece. The etching of the workpiece is stopped due to the etching control component eluted out of the workpiece in the etching solution within the recess during the isotropic etching process.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional gel material including a gel and solid materials, in which the solid materials are moderately dispersed within the gel by adjusting the specific gravities of the gel and the solid materials, or in which the solid materials are always arranged in the same predetermined positions within the gel by dispersing them to the predetermined positions with a positioning means. To achieve this object, the solid materials are dispersed within the gel by using any means. Specifically, the solid materials are dispersed within the gel by adjusting the specific gravity of the solid materials with the specific gravity of the gel. Furthermore, the solid materials are moderately dispersed within the gel by being appropriately arranged by a positioning means.

A toner is composed primarily of toner particles containing at least a binder resin, a colorant and a wax, and inorganic fine particles. The binder resin is one which has at least a polyester unit and is synthesized by using as a catalyst one or more compounds selected from titanium chelate compounds each having a specific structure and hydrates of the titanium chelate compounds. The toner has superior fixing performance and high-temperature anti-offset properties and is superior in charge stability even when used for a long time.

An LCD device in an LCD projector includes a TFT substrate, a counter substrate, an LC layer sandwiched between the TFT substrate and the counter substrate, and a pair of compensation substrates attached onto the outer surfaces of the TFT substrate and the counter substrate far from the LC layer. The compensation substrate has a negative coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for compensating the retardation caused by a temperature rise of the TFT substrate and the counter substrate due to irradiation thereof by a light source.

A magnetic coated carrier suitable for constituting a two-component type developer for use in electrophotography is composed of magnetic coated carrier particles comprising magnetic carrier core particles and a resinous surface coated layer coating the magnetic carrier core particles. The carrier is suitably constituted so as to satisfy the condition of: (a) the magnetic carrier core particles has a resistivity of at least 1.times.10.sup.10 ohm.cm, and the magnetic coated carrier has a resistivity of at least 1.times.10.sup.12 ohm.cm, (b) the magnetic coated carrier has a number-average particle size of 1-100 .mu.m and has such a particle size distribution that particles having particle sizes of at most a half of the number-average particle size occupy an accumulative percentage of at most 20% by number, (c) the magnetic coated carrier has a shape factor SF-1 of 100-130, (d) the magnetic coated carrier has a magnetization at 1 kilo-oersted of 40-250 emu/cm.sup.3, and (e) the resinous surface coating layer comprises a coating resin composition which in turn comprises a straight silicone resin and a coupling agent. The straight silicone resin includes trifunctional silicon and difunctional silicon in an atomic ratio of 100:0-40:60.

A two-component type developer for developing an electrostatic image is constituted by a toner and a carrier. The carrier is composed of a magnetic material and a resin either coating or dispersing the magnetic material. The resin comprises a copolymer having structural units of the following formulae [1] and [2]: ##STR1## wherein A denotes a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 linear, branched or cyclic alkylidene group, aryl-substituted alkylidene group or arylenedialkylidene group, --O--, --S--, --CO--, --SO-- or --SO.sub.2 --; and R.sub.1 -R.sub.4 independently denote hydrogen, halogen, or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or alkenyl group: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.5 denotes a C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkylene or alkylidene group; R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 denote a C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl group, a phenyl group or a substituted phenyl group; and n is an integer of 1-200.
