20140178874 | METHOD FOR EVALUATING CANCER - Provided is a cancer evaluation method using a novel cancer marker for evaluating the onset, the preclinical stage, the clinical stage, or the prognosis of a cancer in a subject. At least one miRNA selected from hsa-miR-92 and hsa-miR-494 is used as the novel cancer marker in cancer evaluation. The cancer marker in a sample of a cell or a tissue is detected, and the possibility of a cancer in the sample is evaluated based on the expression level of the cancer marker. According to this evaluation method, by detecting the miRNA as the cancer marker, it becomes possible to evaluate the possibility of a cancer in the sample with excellent reliability. As a method for detecting the cancer marker, it is preferable to perform an in situ hybridization method using a labeled probe with respect to the sample that has been immobilized, for example. | 06-26-2014 |
20140170648 | CANCER MARKER, METHOD FOR EVALUATION OF CANCER BY USING THE CANCER MARKER, AND EVALUATION REAGENT - The present invention provides a novel cancer marker for evaluating the onset, the preclinical stage, the clinical stage, or the prognosis of a cancer in a subject, and an evaluation method using the same. A cancer marker containing at least one miRNA selected from hsa-miR-92 and hsa-miR-494 is used as a marker for cancers excluding breast cancer. A method for evaluating the possibility of cancers excluding breast cancer includes the step of detecting the expression level of a cancer marker in a biological sample collected from a subject. In this method, the cancer marker contains at least one miRNA selected from hsa-miR-92 and hsa-miR-494. | 06-19-2014 |
20140094708 | APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING POSSIBILITY OF RETURN OF SPONTANEOUS CIRCULATION - An apparatus for determining a possibility of return of spontaneous circulation, includes: an electrocardiogram acquiring unit acquiring electrocardiogram waveform data from a subject in a cardiac arrest condition during chest compression applied to the subject; a bandpass filter unit allowing only a frequency component in a vicinity of a frequency of a P wave of the electrocardiogram waveform to pass through the bandpass filter unit; a resuscitation possibility determining unit determining whether an output of the bandpass filter unit exceeds a predetermined value or not, and determining that there is the possibility of return of spontaneous circulation when the output exceeds the predetermined value; and an outputting unit outputting a result of determination related to the possibility of return of spontaneous circulation. | 04-03-2014 |
20130288272 | LUNG CANCER DIFFERENTIAL MARKER - An object of the present invention is to develop and provide a lung cancer differential marker with which lung cancer can be diagnosed conveniently and highly sensitively without depending only on increase or decrease in protein expression level between cancer patients and healthy persons. Another object of the present invention is to develop and provide a glycan marker capable of distinguishing histological types of lung cancer. Of serum glycoproteins, glycopeptide and glycoprotein groups whose glycan structures were altered specifically in lung cancer cell culture supernatants were identified, and they are provided as lung cancer differential markers. | 10-31-2013 |

20100144849 | METHOD FOR INHIBITING SIGNALING MEDIATED BY ErbB2, SIGNALING INHIBITOR TO BE USED THEREFOR AND USE THEREOF - An object of the present invention is to provide a method for inhibiting activation of signaling pathway mediated by ErbB2 in a human cell and a signaling inhibitor to be used therefor. The above-described activation of signaling pathway can be inhibited by a polypeptide comprising at least one of PTB domain or ERK2 binding domain of human FRS2β. The above-described polypeptide may be introduced directly into a cell, or nucleic acid which encodes for the above-described polypeptide may be introduced into a cell to allow expression of the polypeptide in the cell. Such polypeptide and nucleic acid can be used, for example, as a signaling inhibitor. In addition, since ErbB2 is involved in development of cancer, the above-described signaling inhibitor is also useful, for example, as an anticancer drug. | 06-10-2010 |
