In order to provide a composition for treating, improving, or preventing pain, it has been found out that a metallothionein protein is expressed in a normal peripheral nerve, and that the expression is not observed in a peripheral nerve producing pain. Moreover, it has been found out that administering metallothionein to rats having neuropathic pain suppresses the pain in the rats.

A novel biomarker for diagnosing amyloid β-related neuropathy such as Alzheimer's disease is provided. Disclosed is a method for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease comprising measuring the level of a MFG-E8 protein in a blood, serum or plasma sample obtained from a human or animal subject, wherein the measured value is used as a marker for diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. The MFG-E8 protein is found to bind to phosphatidylserine in a Ca2+ dependent manner in a culture supernatant of mouse brain nerve cells, which are a dementia model stimulated with Aβ42. It is also found that the level of the MFG-E8 protein is increased in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

Various embodiments include a male surface fastener member configured for being molded onto a surface of a foaming resin mold body. The male surface fastener member includes a plurality of male surface fastener strips connected with each other in an end-to-end relationship via a connecting portion that is integrally formed with at least the end portions of each male surface fastener strips. Each male surface fastener strip includes a base material having a first surface from which a plurality of engaging elements extend upwardly and first and second substantially lateral resin intrusion prevention walls that upwardly from the first surface along a width direction of the base material between the first and second longitudinal resin intrusion prevention walls. Each of the lateral resin intrusion prevention walls comprises a plurality of engaging elements that are arranged in series in a width direction of the first surface.

A method of manufacturing a variable resistance nonvolatile memory element includes: forming a lower electrode layer above a substrate; forming, on the lower electrode layer, a variable resistance layer including an oxygen-deficient transition metal oxide; forming an upper electrode layer on the variable resistance layer; and forming a patterned mask on the upper electrode layer and etching the upper electrode layer, the variable resistance layer, and the lower electrode layer using the patterned mask, wherein in the etching, at least the variable resistance layer is etched using an etching gas containing bromine.

The molded hook and loop fastener comprises multiple hook and loop fastener parts on which multiple engaging elements are disposed, and a connection member for connecting the hook and loop fastener parts. The hook and loop fastener parts comprise fixing parts which fix the connection member to backings. The backings comprise forward and rearward extensions that extend in the longitudinal direction from the positions where the fixing parts are disposed. The dimension in the longitudinal direction of the connection member at a connection part is set to be longer than the minimum interval between adjacent hook and loop fastener parts, thereby allowing the molded hook and loop fastener to be bent easily in the width direction, and allowing the forward and rearward extensions to prevent foam resin material from directly hitting the lateral walls.

A molded male surface fastener includes resin invasion preventing walls, which prevent an invasion of a molding foamable resin material of a cushion body, on right and left edge portions along a longitudinal direction of a surface of a flat base member made of a thermoplastic resin, a plurality of engaging elements provided between left and right resin invasion preventing walls, and a linear sealing body that is continuously disposed in the longitudinal direction of the base member along a peripheral portion of a top portion of each resin invasion preventing wall. When an engaging element forming surface of the surface fastener is placed on a concavo-convex surface of foaming body molding cavities of a foaming mold, if the mold has the same magnetic force as that in the related art, the linear sealing body is well adhered along the concavo-convex surface.

An organic/inorganic hybrid film represented by SiCxHyOz (x>0, y≧0, z>0) is plasma-etched with an etching gas containing fluorine, carbon and nitrogen. During the etching, a carbon component is eliminated from the surface portion of the organic/inorganic hybrid film due to the existence of the nitrogen in the etching gas, to thereby reform the surface portion. The reformed surface portion is nicely plasma-etched with the etching gas containing fluorine and carbon.

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is provided in which it is possible to perform process control taking account of wafer information and to deal with the process control in which a recipe is change from one wafer to another. The method comprises steps of inserting a process control system into the path of a network where a manufacturing execution system (MES) and a manufacturing apparatus are connected with each other by using a LAN, obtaining a process result on the lot of the wafers at a previous step through the use of the process control system to rewrite the process recipe, and transmitting the rewritten process recipe from the process control system to the manufacturing apparatus. Since the method includes the step of obtaining the process result on the lot effected at the previous step as wafer information, it is possible to calculate a control parameter taking account of the state of the wafers. Also, since a process control (APC) system is inserted between the MES and the apparatus, there is no communication between the MES and the APC system, so that a communication burden is reduced, thereby the process control can be performed from one wafer to another.
