Abstract:
An intraocularlens of novel structure by which the outer circumferential part of an optical portion can be pressed stably against a posterior capsule under worn state and crisis of secondary cataract can be suppressed more advantageously. A pair of coupling portions (14, 14) are formed to hold an optical portion (12) between them in one direction perpendicular to the optical axis, wherein the outer fringe parts of the coupling portions (14, 14) are made thicker than the outer fringe part of the optical portion (12), a pair of supporting portions (16, 16) are formed to project from the outer fringe parts of the coupling portions (14, 14) and a edge contour part (32) is formed continuously on the outer fringe parts of the optical portion (12) and respective posterior surfaces (20, 24) of the coupling portions (14, 14) so as to extend smoothly along the entire circumference thereof.
Abstract:
In a perimeter having means for measuring a visual field of an eye to be examined, means for monitoring fixation state and means for lighting the eye to be examined with a brightness necessary for monitoring the fixation state of the eye to be examined and means for correcting visibility, means for correcting visibility is provided so as to be freely moved between a set position corresponding to a measurement position of the eye to be examined and a stored position retracted to an outer periphery of a projection member. Such a perimeter further has means for detecting whether means for correcting visibility is at the set position or the stored position and an illustration controller for changing brightness of the illumination onto the eye to be examined through the means for lighting according to the detected position of means for correcting visibility.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a boron adsorbent having an excellent adsorbing ability against boron contained in a solution, which is inexpensive and has high general versatility. Also disclosed is a boron removal method which can remove boron efficiently in a simple manner. An amide derivative represented by the general formula (1) is added to a boron-containing water under alkaline conditions to cause the adsorption of boron to the amide derivative. Then, a cation source having two or more valencies is added to the water to cause the aggregation of the amide body. The aggregated amide body is removed from the water. In the general formula (1), m represents 1 or 2; X represents —CH2OH, —CHO or —COOH; n represents an integer of 2 to 5; X are independent from each other and n are independent from each other when m represents 2; and Y represents a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 6 to 16 carbon atoms when m is 1, and represents a divalent hydrocarbon group having 8 to 18 carbon atoms when m is 2.
Abstract:
Disclosed are: a novel compound which has both an antagonistic activity on an angiotensin II receptor and a PPARγ-activating activity and is therefore useful as a prophylactic and/or therapeutic agent for hypertension, heart diseases, arteriosclerosis, type-2 diabetes, diabetic complications, metabolic syndrome or the like; and a pharmaceutical composition containing the compound. Specifically disclosed are: a compound represented by general formula (I) (wherein the ring A represents a pyridine ring; the ring B represents a tetrazole ring or an oxadiazol-5(4H)-one ring; X represents C—R5 or a nitrogen atom; R1 represents a C1-6 alkyl group; R2 represents a C1-6 alkyl group or a C3-8 cycloalkyl group; and R3, R4, R5 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a C1-6 alkyl group, a halo-C1-6 alkyl group, or a C1-6 alkoxy group which may have a substituent), a salt of the compound, or a solvate of the compound or the salt; and a pharmaceutical composition containing the compound, the salt or the solvate.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a low molecular weight compound having EPO production-promoting action and/or hemoglobin production-promoting action. The present invention relates to a fused piperidine compound represented by the following general formula (1): (wherein, ring A represents a C10-14 aryl group or 5- to 10-membered heterocyclic group, X represents N—R7, a sulfur atom or an oxygen atom, R1, R2, R2′, R3 and R3′ independently represent a hydrogen atom, C1-6 alkyl group or C3-6 cycloalkyl group, and R4, R5 and R6 independently represent a hydrogen atom or halogen atom), or a salt thereof, or a solvate thereof.
Abstract:
A monocular image of a fundus of an eye under examination is captured via a photographic stop for monocular photography, and two stereographically viewed images are captured with a parallax via two photographic stops for stereographic photography that are decentered from a photographic optical axis. Defocused images are captured in the stereographic photography due to the deviation of the photographic stops from the optical axis. A corrective lens is inserted into the photographic optical path in order to correct the defocus in the stereographic photography. This makes it possible to readily correct defocus generated by deviation of the photographic stops from the photographic optical axis even when switching between monocular and stereographic photography modes.
