In the course of developing 2-[[[2-[(hydroxyacetyl)amino]-4-pyridinyl]methyl]thio]-N-[4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl]-3-pyridinecarboxamide (compound A), there are the multiple problems: 1) compound A or its salt is difficult to be recrystallized, the storage stability largely differs depending on the kind of the salt, and it is very difficult to obtain a salt of compound A having excellent storage stability; 2) in a crystallization process of compound A, it is very difficult to control a crystal polymorph, and 3) compound A (free body) causes mineral deposition in the stomach when it is orally administered repeatedly. For solving these problems, we made examination focusing on the kind of the salt and, as a result, found that 1) benzenesulfonate of compound A does not decompose by light, humidity and other factors in a 1-week preliminary stability test (severe test), and has no problem in its storage stability, 2) a method of selectively producing two kinds of crystal forms of benzenesulfonate of compound A, and that 3) no mineral deposition in the stomach is observed even after a 4-week repeated oral administration.

The object is to provide an optical recording method improving the recording characteristics and uniformity in a CAV recording on a phase-change optical recording medium, particularly a high-speed rewritable DVD medium, and a phase-change optical recording medium and an optical recording apparatus used by the method. Regarding a recording method for recording on the phase-change optical recording medium where a recording light comprises a pulse string of heating and cooling pulses, and a light for erasing, an irradiation power is controlled by peak power (Pp), bottom power (Pb) and erase power (Pe), at least any one of Pe/Pp, Pp, Pb and Pe is variable from the minimum to maximum recording linear velocities allowed for the medium, and further the irradiation time of each pulse is varied proportionally with clock T corresponding to a recording linear velocity, the present invention provides an optical recording method which performs a recording by varying at least Pe/Pp from a specific recording linear velocity lower than a peculiar recording linear velocity at which the recording linear velocity degrades abruptly showing a local maximum value, and an optical recording medium and an optical recording apparatus used by the method.

The present invention provides methods of determining a human subject's risk for venous thrombosis based on the finding that venous thrombosis patients have significantly lower levels of large HDL particles, HDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein AI and higher levels of small LDL particles, LDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein B. Genotyping showed that venous thrombosis patients differed significantly from controls in CETP genotype and that the CETP genotypes found in subjects with VTE are linked to elevated CETP mass and activity. Methods for determining the level of lipids or lipoproteins in plasma or serum samples to determine risk for venous thrombosis are provided. Methods for reducing the risk of venous thrombosis are also provided.
