摘要： A fluororesin tube body (10) of an endoscope flexible tube (1) is small in diameter and thin in wall thickness to such a degree that it is difficult to maintain its cross-sectional shape by itself when the flexible tube (1) is bent to the limit. A braid (20) woven from a plurality of flat bands (21) to form a tubular shape is disposed around the tube body (10). The mesh openings of the braid (20) are filled with filling adhesive (30), which bonds the tube body (10) and the braid (20) together. The filling adhesive (30) has enough elasticity to allow deformation of the braid (20) during the bending operation and enough adhesive strength to maintain the bond between the tube body (10) and the braid (20) even when the filling adhesive (30) is elastically deformed. Consequently, the braid (20) restricts the cross-sectional deformation of the tube body (10). Thus, the limit curvature of the flexible tube (1) can be increased.

摘要： A photodynamic therapy apparatus as an estimating apparatus is an apparatus for irradiating a tissue having absorbed photo-sensitive pharmaceutical, the photo-sensitive pharmaceutical absorbing an excitation light and emitting fluorescence, with the excitation light emitted from a tip portion of a laser catheter, including a connector, a light source, and a light detection unit. The laser catheter is capable of being attached to and detached from the connector. The light source outputs the excitation light to the laser catheter via the connector. The light detection unit detects intensity or a spectrum of the fluorescence, the fluorescence being entered from the laser catheter via the connector, to estimate whether the tissue has changed because of reaction between the excitation light emitted from the tip portion of the laser catheter and the photo-sensitive pharmaceutical absorbed in the tissue.
