Abstract:
A method of determining pancreatic disease of the present invention is a method of determining whether an IPMN patient has pancreatic disease, the method including: a first step of measuring a concentration of S100P in duodenal juice of the IPMN patient; and a second step of determining the IPMN patient is a malignant IPMN patient or a pancreatic cancer patient when the concentration of the S100P is equal to or greater than a predetermined cutoff value, and the IPMN patient is a benign IPMN patient when the concentration of the S100P is smaller than the predetermined cutoff value.
Abstract:
Provided are a method for exclusively selecting a duodenal fluid sample having a high possibility of containing pancreatic fluid and favorable sample suitability for subjecting to detection of a pancreatic disease marker by evaluating the quality of the sample prior to detecting the pancreatic disease marker, and a method for detecting a pancreatic disease marker using a duodenal fluid sample selected according to that method. Namely, a method is provided for selecting a duodenal fluid sample for detecting a pancreatic disease marker, comprising: (a1) a step of comparing the color depth of a duodenal fluid sample with a prescribed standard color, and (b1) a step of determining that a duodenal fluid sample is subjected to a test for a pancreatic disease marker if the color depth thereof is equal to or higher than the standard color, but that the duodenal fluid sample is not subjected to a test for a pancreatic disease marker if the color depth thereof is lower than the standard color.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electronic image pickup system whose depth dimension is extremely reduced, taking advantage of an optical system type that can overcome conditions imposed on the movement of a zooming movable lens group while high specifications and performance are kept. The electronic image pickup system comprises an optical path-bending zoom optical system comprising, in order from its object side, a 1-1st lens group G1-1 comprising a negative lens group and a reflecting optical element P for bending an optical path, a 1-2nd lens group G1-2 comprising one positive lens and a second lens group G2 having positive refracting power. For zooming from the wide-angle end to the telephoto end, the second lens group G2 moves only toward the object side. The electronic image pickup system also comprises an electronic image pickup device I located on the image side of the zoom optical system.
Abstract:
A tumor treatment method for treating a tumor in a subject, the method includes: a step I of administering a therapeutically effective amount of one or a plurality of antibody-IR 700 molecules to the subject, in which the antibody specifically binds to a cell surface protein of the tumor; a step II of inserting an optical probe into the subject; a step III of applying light having a wavelength in a range from 660 nm to 740 nm from the optical probe, to supply energy of at least 1 J/cm2 to at least a part of the tumor; a step IV of waiting for a time until an immune response is elicited in the tumor; a step V of inserting an energy device into the subject; and a step VI of resecting tissues of the subject including the tumor using the energy device.
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for evaluating the possibility of suffering from pancreatic disease on the basis of the concentration of a pancreatic disease marker in a duodenal juice sample. The method for evaluating the possibility of suffering from pancreatic disease of the present invention has a step for (a) measuring the concentration of the pancreatic disease marker in a duodenal juice sample taken from a subject and a step for (b) evaluating the possibility of the subject suffering from pancreatic disease on the basis of the concentration of the pancreatic disease marker measured in step (a) and the age of the subject.

Abstract:
An endoscope system includes: an endoscope having a field of view in front of a distal end portion of an insertion portion; an insertion assisting instrument including a conduit having an inner portion through which the insertion portion can be inserted and an angle operation portion that varies an angle of a distal end portion of the conduit; an image generation section that generates an image corresponding to the field of view of the endoscope; a rotation angle calculation section that calculates a rotation angle indicating to what extent the insertion portion inserted through the inner portion of the conduit is rotated with respect to the insertion assisting instrument, based on the image generated by the image generation section; and an image rotation section that rotates the image so as to display the image, with the rotation angle being offset.
