摘要:
This invention provides a method to monitor a microorganism that causes infectious disease of a laboratory animal by using a micro flow channel chip immobilized with a molecular to be tested such as an antigen or an antibody of the microorganism that causes infectious disease, the method comprises flowing serum or body fluid taken from the laboratory animal through the minute flow channel of the micro flow channel chip and detecting the antigen antibody reaction on the chip. The method of this invention enabled medical inspection of an infectious disease of a laboratory animal and microorganism monitoring of a laboratory animal, by using minute amount of animal serum or body fluid in a closed system rapidly and sensitively.

A voltage is applied between a cylindrical cutting grindstone 2 that rotates about a vertical axis Y and a cylindrical truing grindstone 6 that rotates about a horizontal axis X. The vertical outer surface 2a and the horizontal lower surface 2b of the cutting grindstone are trued by a plasma discharge. Then without applying the voltage, the cutting grindstone 2 is trued mechanically by the truing grindstone 6, and while the outer periphery and lower surface of the cutting grindstone are dressed electrolytically, the outer periphery and lower surface are made to contact a workpiece 1 and process a micro-V groove. This method makes it possible to produce an immersion grating with a high resolution using hard, brittle materials such as germanium, gallium arsenide and lithium niobate.
摘要:
A parenteral pharmaceutical preparation comprises a matrix containing a physiologically active peptide or protein and a polyglycerol diester of a saturated fatty acid, and the matrix is in a solid form at room temperature. The molecular weight of the physiologically active peptide or protein is 2,000 dalton or more. The saturated fatty acid includes fatty acids having about 16 to 30 carbon atoms such as palmitic acid, stearic acid, etc. The matrix may be in a pillar or granular form. The parenteral pharmaceutical preparation can be used as an injectable solid administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly (for example, a pellet or tablet for implantation), a suppository or the like, and can release the physiologically active peptide or protein sustainedly for a prolonged period of one week or more.

摘要:
A probe head 10 and a laser interferometric displacement meter 20 are provided. The probe head supports a probe 2 that is capable of contacting a workpiece 1, that is free to move in the direction of the workpiece, and drives the probe towards the workpiece. The displacement meter measures the displacement of the probe with a high accuracy without contact. The probe head 10 is also provided with a probe shaft 12 with steps 11a, 11b at intermediate portions thereof and air bearings 14a, 14b that support the probe shaft on each side of the steps. The air bearings have a high stiffness in the radial direction, and the probe shaft is made to float by using compressed air, thus the resistance of the shaft to sliding is reduced. In addition, another compressed air is supplied to the location of the step and produces a driving force in the direction of the workpiece due to the difference of cross sectional areas on each side of the step, that provides a very small load within a predetermined range. Thereby, the measuring pressure can be adjusted to a constant very small load without reducing the stiffness of the bearings of the probe, and the measuring pressures can be varied freely. Therefore, a sub-micron accuracy of about 0.1 &mgr;m can be obtained, and the equipment can be made compact and is easily applied to on-machine measurements.

A sample extrusion device 12 for sequentially extruding a sample 1 in a predetermined direction, a sample cutting device 14 for sequentially cutting the extruded sample, and a con-focal image pickup device 16 for focusing an illuminating light at a section portion that was cut to pick up two-dimensional images of the cut section from a reflected light thereof are provided to reconstruct an internal structure of the sample from many two-dimensional images (continuous section images) that differ in the cutting positions. The sample can be continuously cut to continuously observe the sectional images thereof under no influence of the sample being seen transparently, the entirety of the sample can be observed in almost the same condition even though the sample is colored with a fluorescent dye, and thereby, the internal structure of the sample can be reconstructed with a high precision.
摘要:
A method for producing a sustained-release preparation, which comprises dispersing a physiologically active polypeptide into an organic solvent solution of a biodegradable polymer and removing the organic solvent, wherein the polypeptide is a powder obtained by lyophilizing an aqueous solution of the polypeptide which solution has a water-miscible organic solvent and/or a volatile salt; which improves the ease of handling of the physiologically active polypeptide powder in the process for producing the preparation; which makes it possible to industrially produce the sustained-release preparation in large scale; which provides a sustained-release preparation showing high and stable concentration of the active component in blood in long term, low initial release ratio of the physiologically active polypeptide, and high entrapment ratio of the polypeptide into the sustained-release preparation.
