    Abstract: A bending and extending device 1 comprises an elastic hollow guide unit 2 and a movable part 3 to be movably inserted into the guide unit 2. The movable part 3 is constituted, either partially or entirely, of a plurality of belt-like flexible parts 30a and 30b, which extend in the axial direction of the guide unit 2 and the flexible parts 30a and 30b are connected at distal ends. The bending and extending device 1 is characterized in that, when, by the sliding operation of the flexible parts 30a and 30b, a cross-section in which a contact point T of the flexible part 30a and the inner surface of the guide unit 2 is present on an extending line Y extending from a line segment connecting the centroid P of the flexible part 30b and the axial center G of the guide unit 2 and in which the flexible part 30a and the second flexible part 30b are in contact with each other is generated, and when the cross-section is divided into two ranges by a predetermined straight line X, the centroid P of the flexible part 30b is not positioned in a range in which the contact point T is present; and the predetermined straight line X is a line that passes through the axial center G of the guide unit 2, and that orthogonally crosses the extending line Y.

    Abstract: A power supply device in which a device shaft provided with a power receiver is inserted in a through-hole of a port site, which is capable of supplying electric power to the power receiver at a low cost and enabling fine operation of the device shaft. The power supply includes a port site; first terminals provided on an inner surface of the through-hole; wires that connect the first terminals and a power source; a device shaft that is insertable into the through-hole; a power receiver provided on the device shaft; second terminals provided on an outer surface of the device shaft; and wires that connect the power receiver and the second terminals. Electric power from the power supply can be supplied to the power receiver by inserting the device shaft into the through-hole to thereby bring the first terminals and the second terminals into contact with each other.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a modified antibody fragment comprising an antibody fragment capable of binding to misfolded TDP-43, and a chaperone-mediated autophagy localizing signal peptide; the antibody fragment comprising a heavy-chain variable region comprising a heavy-chain CDR 1 consisting of an amino acid sequence GFNIKDYY (SEQ ID NO: 1), a heavy-chain CDR 2 consisting of an amino acid sequence IDPEDGET (SEQ ID NO: 2), and a heavy-chain CDR 3 consisting of an amino acid sequence TIIYYYGSRYVDY (SEQ ID NO: 3), the heavy-chain variable region optionally having 3 or fewer amino acid substitutions, and/or a light-chain variable region comprising a light-chain CDR 1 consisting of an amino acid sequence SSISSSY (SEQ ID NO: 4), a light-chain CDR 2 consisting of an amino acid sequence RTS, and a light-chain CDR 3 consisting of an amino acid sequence QQGSSIPLT (SEQ ID NO: 5), the light-chain variable region optionally having 3 or fewer amino acid substitutions; and the antibody fragment being scFv, VH, or VL.
