Abstract:
A therapeutic agent for osteoporosis, comprising an azepine compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient, a method for treating osteoporosis comprising administering said compound and a use of said compound for the production of a therapeutic agent for osteoporosis. The compounds of the formula (I) have superior bone resorption-inhibitory activity and act to reduce the increased amount of calcium in blood serum, which is caused by bone resorption. Accordingly, these compounds are usable as pharmaceutical agents to effectively inhibit bone resorption, to prevent decrease of bone mass and to prevent or suppress the increase of calcium amount in blood serum which is caused by the progress of bone resorption, with regard to Paget's disease, hypercalcemia, osteoporosis and so on in which the progress of bone resorption is considered to be deeply associated with the symptom, and to the symptoms of progressing bone resorption (development into osteoporosis) along with inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
Abstract:
A recess is formed at the center of a bumper absorber, provided on the vehicle outer side of a bumper reinforcement, so as to face forward, and an upper recess wall face of an upper absorber portion located on the upper side of the recess is inclined downward. If the subject vehicle is small in height and the amount of vertical overlap between the bumper absorber and the rear bumper of other vehicle (a barrier used in the narrow vertical overlap barrier test of the IIHS) is small, in the initial collision stage, the rear bumper of the other vehicle is guided by the inclined upper recess wall face to move relatively downward while the bumper of the subject vehicle moves relatively upward, preventing underride, increasing the amount of vertical overlap between the rear bumper of the other vehicle and the bumper absorber, and thus achieving reliable impact absorption.
Abstract:
A rear door assembly for a motor vehicle includes an outer door panel and an inner panel. The inner panel is fixedly secured to the inner surface of the outer door panel. The inner panel has a main frame having a generally transversely extending opening and a frame member fixedly secured to the main frame. The frame member extends between opposite sides of the opening in the main frame and extends along a bottom edge of the window opening. The frame member has a transversely extending upper flange and a lower flange spaced apart from the upper flange. The frame member has a main wall extending between the upper and lower flanges and forming a generally U-shaped cross section therewith. The flanges are directly fixedly secured to the inner surface of the outer panel and forming a transversely extending support beam therewith.
Abstract:
The present application provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method including forming a resist film on a substrate, forming a protective film on the resist film, exposing the resist film with a first liquid interposed between the protective film and a lens for exposure, removing the protective film using an oxidative second liquid after exposing the resist film, and developing the resist film to form a resist pattern after removing the protective film.
Abstract:
A pattern forming method comprises forming a first resist pattern on a substrate, irradiating light on the first resist pattern, forming a resist film including a cross-linking material on the substrate and the first resist pattern, forming a second resist pattern including a cross-linking layer formed at an interface between the first resist pattern and the resist film by causing a cross-linking reaction at the interface, and irradiating light on the first resist pattern including setting an amount of the light irradiated on the first resist pattern such that a dimension of the second resist pattern is to be a predetermined dimension based on a previously prepared relationship between a difference between a dimension relating to the first resist pattern and a dimension relating to the second resist pattern and the amount of the light irradiated on the first resist pattern.
Abstract:
The methods and compositions of the invention and the compounds used in the invention involve a novel immunosuppression mechanism, accelerated lymphocyte homing immunosuppression (ALH-immunosuppression). For example, the compound FTY720 specifically directs lymphocytes to the peripheral lymph nodes, mesenteric lymph nodes, and Peyer's patches. By reversibly sequestering lymphocytes in these tissues, the compounds can inhibit an immune response in a mammal. Understanding these mechanisms provides a novel immunosuppression therapy that can synergistically interact with other immunosuppressive compounds. Screening methods for identifying similar ALH-immunosuppression compounds are also described. The invention allows better treatments and therapies wherever an immunosuppression regimen is desired.
