    摘要: The inventive subject matter relates to a method for the diagnosis of Orientia tsutsugamushi infection by measuring the increased or decreased expression of specific human genes following infection by microarray or polymerase chain reaction analysis. The method employs the creation of gene modulation profiles in patients suspected to be infected with O. tsutsugamushi and comparing the profiles with a pre-determined profile of genes known to modulate in response to O. tsutsugamushi exposure and infection. The method permits the early detection of O. tsutsugamushi infection and diagnosis of scrub typhus earlier than currently available methods. The method also permits mid-course monitoring of disease progression with greater detail than currently available methods.

    摘要: A first stage and a second stage are disposed to face each other. A first object is fixed on the first stage. A first displacement sensor attached on the first stage is used to measure a distance extending from the first displacement sensor to a plane disposed in front of the first displacement sensor. A second object is fixed on the second stage. A second displacement sensor attached on the second stage is used to measure a distance extending from the second displacement sensor to a plane disposed in front of the second displacement sensor. A moving mechanism is provided to move one of the first stage and the second stage, with the movement of one stage being relative to the other stage.
