摘要:
A method for treating a disease associated with tissue abnormality in a subject. The method includes administering an amount of a pharmaceutical composition to a subject in need of treating a disease associated with tissue abnormality, the pharmaceutical composition comprising a laminate comprising a fibrin gel and a cell culture. The laminate is produced by a method, which includes forming a fibrin gel layer on an upper surface of the cell culture by a reaction between fibrinogen and thrombin, wherein: the cell culture is prepared on a culture dish and the laminate of the fibrin gel and the cell culture are transferred onto a subject's heart. The laminate further includes a reinforcing portion made of a fibrin gel, the reinforcing portion formed by laminating the fibrin gel on the fibrin gel layer of the laminate of the cell culture and the fibrin gel.

A speech rehabilitation assistance apparatus is disclosed, which can execute effective speech rehabilitation of, for example, a dysarthric speaker. The speech rehabilitation assistance apparatus can include a specification section specifying a target phoneme type and specifying at least one of a word head, a word middle, and a word end as a position of the specified phoneme type, a presentation section presenting a word selected from words having the specified phoneme type in the specified position, a voice recognition section recognizing a voice uttered when a trainee reads out the presented word, and a provision section providing an evaluation value concerning the voice uttered by the trainee based on history of a recognition result by the voice recognition section.
摘要:
A device for efficiently attaching a sheet-shaped object to a target site includes a support body for supporting a sheet-shaped object, and a protective member having a low coefficient of friction for protecting one surface of the support, in which the support body supporting the sheet-shaped object is rolled while being protected by the protective member and can be inserted into a tubular body.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a cell sheet embedding agent, which makes it possible to stably transport a cell sheet at the time of transport at a low temperature and to collect the cell sheet from the cell sheet embedding agent in a simple manner after being transported, a cell sheet-containing composition, and a kit. According to the present invention, there is provided a cell sheet embedding agent containing a polypeptide represented by the following Formula 1, in which in a case where a molecular weight distribution of the polypeptide is measured, a peak area of a maximum molecular weight is equal to or greater than 80% of the total peak area of all molecular weights. A-[(Gly-X—Y)n]m—B Formula 1: In the formula, X and Y each independently represent an amino acid, m is an integer of 2 to 10, n is an integer of 3 to 100, and A and B each represent any amino acid or any amino acid sequence.

An object of the present invention is to provide a laminate containing a cell sheet which has hardness and is easy to handle at the time of transplantation or transport, an agent for treating cardiac diseases using the laminate, and a film for being laminated on a cell sheet. According to the present invention there are provided a laminate including a biocompatible polymer film having a density of 500 μg/cm2 to 10 mg/cm2 and a cell sheet disposed on at least one surface of the biocompatible polymer film, an agent for treating cardiac diseases using the laminate, and a film for being laminated on a cell sheet.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus and a method for performing speech training in speech rehabilitation are disclosed. A report about content to be uttered in an utterance training is made to a trainee of the utterance training and the volume of a voice uttered by the trainee in response to the report is obtained. Then, the result of comparison between the obtained volume and a volume predetermined as a target volume is reported.
摘要:
An information processing apparatus is disclosed having a storage unit storing a plurality of training text items each including a word, a word string, or a sentence. The information processing apparatus presents a training text item among the plurality of training text items stored in the storage unit as voice output or character string display and calculates the speaking speed based on a voice signal that is input after presenting the training text item. The information processing apparatus compares the calculated speaking speed with a preset target speaking speed and reports the comparison result.
