摘要:
A multi-layered tube composed of at least two layers, each formed from a different resin, e.g. resin (I) or resin (II). Resin (I) contains 5 to 40 mass % of a polypropylene resin and 95 to 60 mass % of at least one hydrogenated copolymer. Resin (II) contains 45 to 100 mass % of a polypropylene resin and 55 to 0 mass % of a hydrogenated copolymer. The multi-layered tubes may be used in the field of medicine and provide tubing which is excellent in transparency, flexibility and anti-kinking properties, and which is durable during sterilization procedures with high-pressure steam. The multilayer tubing may also be safely disposed of as it generates no toxic gases, such as dioxin, when incinerated. The multilayered tubing has excellent connectability and may be bonded to other tubing using hot solvent bonding or solvent adhesion. The multilayered tubing which is free from generation of any toxic gas when incinerated, and which is excellent in hot solvent bonding or solvent adhesion to other tube.

A balloon catheter and its pilot balloon system visually indicate the state of the inflation of a balloon placed in a human body. The small pilot balloon is conveniently manufactured by blow molding utilizing substantially the same material and has substantially the same structure as the main balloon. The pilot balloon is useful for a catheter with balloon or a tube with cuff where the balloon or the cuff is made of a very resilient material. The preferred material is a blend of composition having certain properties comprising styrenic thermoplastic elastomer and polyolefin.

摘要:
In a culture method for adipocytes, seeded adipocytes are cultured while being allowed to adhere to a culture bottom surface (14) and walls (12) disposed perpendicularly to the culture bottom surface (14), without suspending the adipocytes in a culture solution, thereby obtaining mature adipocytes in which spherical lipid droplets having increased in size are generated within cells. This method uses a culture chamber (10) in which the walls (12) are formed perpendicular to the culture bottom surface (14). Spherical mature adipocytes containing spherical lipid droplets having increased in size within cells are cultured in a state where a cell or an aggregate of cells is allowed to adhere to two or more locations on the walls (12) and the culture bottom surface (14), thereby obtaining adipocytes having a shape similar to that of adipocytes in vivo.
摘要:
To provide a cell culture chamber and a cell culture method that are capable of effectively constructing an intercellular network in a culture space. A cell culture chamber (10) according to the present invention is a cell culture chamber (10) including a plurality of microchambers (11) formed on a surface thereof, characterized in that convex portions (side walls 12) that partition the microchambers (11) adjacent to each other are formed to prevent cells from being adhered to upper surfaces of the convex portions. Consequently, cells can be cultured exclusively within the microchambers (11), and an intercellular network can be constructed effectively.

To provide a cell storage method to store living cells while maintaining the functions of the living cells. An aspect of the cell storage method is a method to store living cells (40) by using a cell culture chamber (20) including a plurality of the microchambers (11), the method including: culturing the living cells by being adhered to the surfaces of a plurality of micro spaces; and after the culturing, pouring the culture medium (50) into the cell culture chamber (20) so as to cover the plurality of microchambers (11), and storing the living cells. The living cells are adhered to a cell culture chamber of an appropriate size and cultured to form a three-dimensional structure. This enables maintaining the three-dimensional structure of the living cells and storage of the living cells while maintaining the functions thereof.
摘要:
A microchannel array according to the present invention includes a first substrate 1, and a second substrate 11 bonded to the first substrate 1. Two sets, that is, a set of a first through-hole 9, a first recess 7, and a first groove 8 and a set of a second through-hole 4, a second recess 2, and a second groove 3 are formed on the first substrate 1. The different sets are separated by a partition 5. A cell differentation/proliferation speed after micro-injection can be increased by using such microchannel array.
摘要:
Provided is a method that achieves control of embryoid body size and can induce differentiation in a state where the embryoid body size is controlled, by using a cell culture chamber having a plurality of microchambers formed therein. A culture method for causing differentiation of pluripotent mammalian cells uses a cell culture chamber (10) having a plurality of microchambers (11) formed on a culture surface. The cell culture chamber (10) has a culture surface formed of spaces in which the microchambers (11) have a space structure with a height of 10 μm to 500 μm and a bottom area of 100 μm2 to 1 mm2. The culture method for causing differentiation of pluripotent mammalian cells includes culturing pluripotent mammalian cells to obtain a cell population at least partially differentiated into endoderm lineage cells, by using the cell culture chambers (10).
