Abstract:
A portable living body information collection device is arranged to continuously measure living body information in daily life and to efficiently collect relating mental information by timely questioning about health. The device can be worn on a human body. The portable living body information collection device extracts living body information in electrical signal form by a detection circuit and a signal processing circuit, and discretizes the information by a conversion circuit. A control circuit stores the discretized living body information in a storage and displays questions about feelings and mental conditions on a display unit periodically or when a large changes occurs in living body information. The wearer inputs answers by using an input device, and the answers are also recorded as mental information in the storage. Write or read of the living body information and mental information recorded in the storage, and various set values to or from an external personal computer can be performed by means of a communication circuit.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide 53 kDa of human-derived polypeptides, that are muscle-specific TRIM family proteins.SOLUTION: There are disclosed antigenic polypeptides recognized by mAb5259 with a molecular size of 53 kDa specific to striated muscle tissues, nucleic acid sequences encoding the polypeptides, and antibodies, which immunospecifically-bind to the polypeptide, as well as derivatives, variants, mutants, or fragments of the polypeptide, polynucleotide, or antibody. The invention further discloses therapeutic, diagnostic and research methods for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders involving any one of these human nucleic acids and proteins.
Abstract:
This application discloses methods for treating, preventing and/or alleviating the symptoms of type II diabetes and diabetes-related disorders or complications. The invention provides a novel approach to treating and managing disorders and symptoms related to elevated plasma glucose concentrations and insulin resistance, characterized by few side effects and low toxicity. In particular, the invention provides 2-hydroxy-benzoic anilide compounds and derivatives, and compositions thereof, which can control blood-glucose and increase insulin sensitivity by reducing plasma glucose concentration and cellular energy efficiency.
