Patent JP-2003534002-A (JP)
IPC: G01N30/88
Filed: 2001-05-16
Abstract: The present invention provides a method of determining thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) activity in a subject. The method includes the steps of reacting sample obtained from the subject with a thiopurine derivative that is not 6-mercaptopurine to produce a methylated purine product; contacting the reacted sample with acid, thereby precipitating proteinaceous material from the reacted sample; separating supernatant from the precipitated proteinaceous material; and detecting in the supernatant the methylated purine product, where the amount of the methylated purine product indicates a level of thiopurine methyltransferase activity in the subject. In a method of the invention, the subject can be, for example, an inflammatory bowel disease patient. In one embodiment, the acid used to precipitate proteinaceous material is perchloric acid, for example, 70% perchloric acid. In another embodiment, the thiopurine derivative used as a substrate is 6-thioguanine. In a further embodiment, the methylated purine product is detected by fluorescence, which can be combined, if desired, with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Filed: 2002-01-28
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the operation feeling.  <P>SOLUTION: Flat spring-receiving parts 24c, 24d are provided on both sides of a spring seat piece 24a at the front edge of an opening/closing piece 24. A compression coil spring whose winding end is formed into a closed end and not ground is used for an inverting spring 30. The flat spring-receiving parts 24c, 24d and the winding end of the inverting spring 30 constitute a slip- preventing means. The slip-preventing means makes the area of contact with the front edge of the opening/closing piece 24 larger than in conventional cases, and thus prevents a slip occurring between the winding end of the inverting spring 30 and the spring-receiving parts 24c, 24d when the opening/closing piece 24 is inverted. This prevents a two-stage sense of click during the operation of a piano handle 43, thus improving the operation feeling.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the stability of the line width of a seal within the surface of a liquid crystal display panel and to hardly peel off upper and lower substrates by mechanical stress when being cut into a panel size.  <P>SOLUTION: In the liquid crystal display panel obtained by enclosing a liquid crystal into a cell in which a pair of substrates 1 are provided while facing each other through the seal for enclosing the liquid crystal, a main seal pattern 2 composed of the seal arranged inside the panel is formed in a corrugated shape. Thus, stress from squeeze of a seal plate is mitigated, the physical torsion of a mesh constituting the seal plate is reduced as much as possible and the dispersion of the printing accuracy, especially the line width, of the main seal pattern 2 inside the liquid crystal panel is suppressed to be extremely small. Also, by arranging the main seal pattern 2 by bending it in the corrugated shape in the line width of a conventional straight pattern, the peeling load of the main seal pattern 2 per unit area of glass is improved and the serious defect of seal peeling is hardly induced in the process of cutting stuck glass into a panel individual piece size.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
