    摘要: Even when the specimen contains human granulocyte elastase in the form of a mixture of free elastase with an elastase-inhibitor complex or complexes, the present invention enables the total quantity of elastase in that specimen to be precisely detected. The inhibitor is added to free elastase to convert it into an elastase-inhibitor complex, whereby the quantity of elastase can be measured by immunoassay as the total amount including the previously existing elastase-inhibitor complex. It is possible to precisely measure the total amount of elastase in mucus collected from the cervical canal of a pregnant woman, sputum or a rinsed solution of bronchovesicular lavage in which free elastase is mixed with an elastase-inhibitor complex. It is thus possible to predict and prevent threatened premature delivery, premature delivery or premature rupture of membranes by immunoassay of mucus collected from the cervical canal of a pregnant woman, to make a diagnosis of chronic or repetitive airway infections and pulmonary emphysema based on chronic respiratory diseases by immunoassay of sputum and a rinsed solution of bronchovesicular lavage and to make a diagnosis of urinary tract infections by immunoassay of urine.

    摘要: The present invention provides a method of diagnosing and treating a pregnant female at risk for impending preterm delivery. The method comprises the step of diagnosing imminent preterm delivery by testing with a method that has a sensitivity of at least 80% and a specificity of at least 80%, or by testing for fetal fibronectin in the female's vaginal or cervical secretions. If imminent preterm delivery is indicated by the test, the next step comprises administering to the female a combination of a tocolytic agent, at least one urinastatin-like compound, and at least one antibiotic. Also provided is a pharmaceutical composition of MGMTSRYFYNGTSMA (SEQ ID NO:1), RAFIQLWAFDAVKGK (SEQ ID NO:2) and an antibiotic.

    摘要: Leukocyte chemotactic factors such as interleukin-8 and MCAF, and inductive substances therefor were revealed to have proconceptive activities. These activities include promoting ovum growth and fertilized ovum implantation, and are exhibited by a sole substance. Accordingly, it has been shown that such substances can be used in drugs concerning medical treatment for infertility, and further, can be used in veterinary and livestock industry fields such as reproduction of industrial animals or species preservation of rare animals.

    摘要: An accurate measurement can be made of the light absorbance of deep layer tissue such as in a human body or a fruit. The thickness of fat is computed. A first specific distance and a second specific distance corresponding to the computed fat thickness are computed based a predetermined relationship between the fat thickness, the first specific distance, and measurement sensitivity of a surface layer and measurement sensitivity of a deep layer when light is received at a position the first specific distance away from a light emitting means. A third specific distance and a fourth specific distance are computed corresponding to the computed fat thickness based on a predetermined relationship between the fat thickness, the third specific distance and a measurement sensitivity of an intervening layer and a measurement sensitivity of the deep layer when light is received at a position the third specific distance away from the light emitting means.
