摘要:
The present invention provides a method and a means for evaluating atherosclerotic lesions by identifying a protein (marker protein) group, the expression level of which varies according to the progression of the atherosclerotic lesion, and using the proteins. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for evaluating atherosclerotic lesions, comprising the steps of detecting a marker protein exhibiting an expression pattern (expression variation) characteristic at a specific disease stage of atherosclerotic lesions in a subject, and evaluating the atherosclerotic lesions in the subject based on the detection result.

The present invention pertains to a group III-V compound semiconductor nanowire able to be used in a group III-V compound semiconductor MOSFET (FET) operational at a small subthreshold (100 mV/dec or less). A side face of the group III-V compound semiconductor nanowire is a (−110) plane constituted of a very small (111) plane. The group III-V compound semiconductor nanowire has, e.g., a first layer having a (111)A plane as a side face thereof, and a second layer having a (111)B plane as a side face thereof. The first layer and the second layer are stacked alternatingly in the axial direction.

The present invention is produced by a composite with an Eu (II) compound nanoparticle and a metal nanoparticle. Such production generates quantum size effects of the Eu (II) compound nanoparticle, while the surface plasmon of the metal nanoparticle can be used. Thus, the magnetooptical property can be improved. In addition, a thin film may be produced by a composite with an Eu (II) compound nanoparticle and a metal nanoparticle.
