Abstract: By analyzing an image of a cell sample, whether a cell shown in the image is cancerous or not, the type of cancer, etc. are objectively and appropriately determined. An image analyzing device (1) includes: a binarizing section (41) which carries out a binarizing process a plurality of times with respect to a single captured image so as to generate a plurality of binarized images, the binarizing section carrying out the binarizing process each time the binarizing section varies a binarization reference value; a Betti number calculating section (42) which calculates a region number, which indicates the number of hole-shaped regions, with respect to each of the plurality of binarized images which have been generated; and a cancer determining section (43) which determines a type of cancer occurring in a cell included in tissue, on the basis of the binarization reference value which has been applied at a time of generation of one of the plurality of binarized images with respect to which one the region number has a given value.

Abstract: In order to assess, with high accuracy, a degree of a change having occurred in a structure, the present invention includes: a Betti number calculating section (42) configured to (I) generate, with respect to a single captured image obtained by capturing an image of a structure, a plurality of binarized images having respective binarization reference values different from each other and (II) calculate, for each of the plurality of binarized images, a first characteristic numerical value indicative of the number of connected regions each of which is obtained by connecting pixels each having one of pixel values obtained by binarization; and a prediction score determining section (44) configured to determine, in accordance with a result of a comparison, information on a change having occurred in the structure, the comparison having been made between (i) a pattern indicative of a relationship between (a) the respective binarization reference values and (b) the first characteristic numerical value and (ii) a predetermined reference pattern.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an agent that potentiates the antitumor effect of an anticancer agent by allowing efficient accumulation of the anticancer agent in tumor tissue. The administration of carbonate apatite with the anticancer agent allows efficient accumulation of the anticancer agent in the tumor tissue to dramatically potentiate the antitumor effect of the anticancer agent.

Abstract: [Problem] The present invention addresses the problem of providing a muscle function-improving agent for suppressing or improving the decline of muscular functions due to aging. [Solution] Provided is a muscle function-improving agent for suppressing or improving the functional decline of skeletal muscle due to aging, the muscle function-improving agent containing, as an active ingredient, at least one peptide selected from among the following (1)-(3), or a salt thereof: (1) a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence represented by SEC) ID NO: 1; (2) a peptide which is the fragment of human osteopontin, and in which the C-terminal amino acid sequence is the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1; and (3) a peptide which consists of an amino acid sequence obtained by substituting, adding, or deleting one or more amino acids in the amino acid sequence of the peptide in (1) or (2), and has the action of suppressing or ameliorating the functional decline of skeletal muscle due to aging.

Abstract: The disclosed feature makes it possible to accurately determine a change that has occurred in a tissue. The feature includes: a binarizing section (41) that generates, from an image to be analyzed, a plurality of binarized images having respective binarization reference values different from each other; a Betti number calculating section (42) that calculates, for each of the plurality of binarized images, a one-dimensional Betti number indicating the number of hole-shaped regions each of which is surrounded by pixels each having a first pixel value obtained by binarization and is constituted by pixels each having a second pixel value obtained by binarization; and a determining section (44) that determines a change that has occurred in the tissue, based on a binarization reference value and a one-dimensional Betti number in a binarized image in which the one-dimensional Betti number is maximized.
