    摘要: A mutant glycine oxidase is obtained by substituting at least one wild-type amino acid sequence derived from thermophilic bacteria belonging to the family Bacillus with another amino acid, and has the following enzyme properties. Molecular weight: 40,000±2,000 daltons by SDS-PAGE. Optimum temperature: 45° C. under the condition of pH 8.5 in presence of pyrophosphate. Optimum pH: pH 8.0 under the condition of 37° C. in presence of pyrophosphate. Thermal stability: Stable up to 70° C. under the condition of pH 8.5 while retaining for 1 hour in presence of pyrophosphate. pH Stability: Stable in the range of pH 5.5 to 10.0 under the condition of 4° C. while retaining for 24 hours in presence of pyrophosphate.

    摘要: The present invention provides a needle tip protector of a novel structure for an indwelling needle, which enables improvements in safety, etc. as compared with conventional needle tip protectors. A needle tip protector 10 for an indwelling needle includes a tubular peripheral wall 58, and is externally attached over a needle hub 22 of an indwelling needle 16 and moved toward a needle tip 14 side so as to cover the needle tip 14. Detents 74, 74, which are to be detained with the needle hub 22 at a position in a movement of the protector toward the needle tip 14 side of the indwelling needle 16 so as to inhibit backward movement of the protector to the proximal end side of the indwelling needle 16 and to prevent the needle tip 14 from being reexposed, are formed within an inside enclosed by the peripheral wall 58, and are integrally molded with the peripheral wall 58.

    摘要: A biological sample or drug stored inside a frozen storage container is not susceptible to contamination. The frozen storage container includes a container body with an internal space, and a partition wall which divides the internal space at least into a first space and a second space. In the container body, the first space is liquid-tightly sealed, the second space has an opening which is in communication with the outside, and the second space is liquid-tightly sealable by welding the container body. A frozen storage container system includes the frozen storage container; and a needle member which includes a needle tip portion capable of being inserted into the internal space of the container body and capable of piercing the partition wall, and has a flow path which is opened at the needle tip portion and is opened at a base end portion opposite to the needle tip portion.

    摘要: Provided is a guide wire having a novel structure, with which it is possible to improve production efficiency and to effectively prevent large irregularities from forming on an outer circumferential surface of a core wire. Further provided is a guide wire having a novel structure, with which it is possible to more meticulously set bending rigidity to a distal end portion thereof. In a guide wire having a coil externally mounted about a distal end portion of a core wire, a proximal end portion of the coil is integrally joined to the core wire during formation of the coil. Furthermore, in a guide wire having a coil externally mounted about a distal end portion of a core wire, a cross-sectional shape of a wire that constitutes the coil varies in a lengthwise direction of the coil.

    摘要: Provided is a method for aiding diagnosis of a neurodegenerative disease in a subject with a light physical burden. The method for aiding diagnosis of the neurodegenerative disease, comprising: a first assessment step of assessing a risk of the neurodegenerative disease based on an amount of homocysteine acid in a biological sample obtained from the subject; a second assessment step of assessing a risk of the neurodegenerative disease based on an amount of an inflammatory factor, a pituitary gland secretion, or an autonomic nerve secretion in the biological sample obtained from the subject or based on a measured value obtained from a brain image of the subject; and a step of determining whether the subject has the neurodegenerative disease based on the results of the first assessment and the second assessment.
