Abstract: The invention presents methods of using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy for common and specific characterization of carcinogenesis in human skin tumors. The invention provides the user with the method to analyse intra- and inter-molecular interactions for nucleic acids and proteins expressed in infrared (IR) spectra of human skin epidermal cancers towards understanding the molecular, cellular and tissue changes that occur during skin carcinogenesis. More particularly, presented analytical method has the advantage to simultaneously observe DNA-RNA, DNA-DNA, DNA-protein and protein-protein interactions by means of their expressed interacting activity levels within one type of tumour and between different types of tumours, both commonly and specifically, with further indication of the grade of activity in benign, premalignant and malignant skin tissue cells.

Abstract: The present invention provides a polyester film wherein an adhesive layer including a thermoplastic elastomer including a monovinyl substituted aromatic hydrocarbon and a conjugated diene, a compatibilizer having a glass transition temperature of 35 to 150° C., and a polyester resin having a glass transition temperature of 35 to 150° C. and a carboxyl group content of 10 to 100 mg KOH/g is laminated on a polyester substrate.

Abstract: A polyimide precursor solution having a high concentration yet low viscosity, a polyimide coating film having satisfactory physical properties which is prepared from the polyimide precursor solution, and a process for producing a polyimide coating film using the polyimide precursor solution. The polyimide precursor solution has dissolved therein a specific salt of a diamine and a tetracarboxylic acid and/or a dicarboxylic acid-dialkyl ester in a high concentration, the diamine and the tetracarboxylic acid and/or the dicarboxylic acid-dialkyl ester being capable of forming a polyimide. Also disclosed is a polyimide coating film obtained by heating the solution to cause imidization and a process for producing the polyimide coating film.

Abstract: An adsorptive fiber sheet where a nonwoven fabric of synthetic fiber constituted only by synthetic fiber having a higher melting temperature is secured in a layered structure to at least one surface of a nonwoven fabric of adsorptive fiber which is produced in such a manner that synthetic fiber having a higher melting temperature, synthetic fiber having a lower melting temperature and adsorptive fiber are mixed with one another and contact points between the synthetic fiber having a lower melting temperature and other fibers are bound together by softening the synthetic fiber having a lower melting temperature. Both the synthetic fabrics are placed one above another in a layered structure by allowing synthetic fiber having a lower melting temperature to be softened to bind or by allowing fibers to be entangled with one another in such a manner that no separation takes place therebetween.
