摘要:
The present invention provides a drug for at least one of prevention and treatment of cardiac failure capable of suppressing cardiac depression and the onset of cardiac failure in ventricular remodeling, and a method for screening the drug. The drug for at least one of prevention and treatment of cardiac failure of the present invention contains a compound that inhibits a functional expression of ASK1 protein in a cardiomyocyte as an active ingredient, and a method for screening a drug for at least one of prevention and treatment of cardiac failure of the present invention includes selecting a medicinal component for at least one of prevention and treatment of cardiac failure from a drug candidate compound by using inhibition of a functional expression of ASK1 protein as an indication. As shown in FIG. 1, if ASK1 protein is removed, for example, the ventricle dilation can be attenuated in ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction, pressure loading, or the like, which makes it possible to prevent and treat cardiac failure.
摘要:
High chromium steel, for use at high temperature, of a mixed structure containing ferrite and 0.02-0.09% C, less than 1.0% Si, 0.1-2.0% Mn, 7.0-13.0% chromium, 1.2-3.0% Mo, and the rest being iron and the usual impurities, or further adding aluminum in an amount less than 0.1% to said composition, or further adding 0.001-0.1% boron and less than 0.1% Ti necessary to cause the boron to act effectively, said steel being heated at temperatures lower than about 1050.degree. C. to prevent the oxidation of the steel.
