Abstract: Provided is a dental prosthesis formed as artificial molars designed for a lingualized occlusion, comprising the total of four teeth including a first premolar, a second premolar, a first molar and a second molar in a maxilla or a mandible, which are interconnected in a single prosthesis. An artificial maxillary molar is configured to have a blade form in a lingual cusp thereof, and a protrusion is formed in buccal cusps of a mandibular second premolar and a mandibular second molar so as to define a gap for gliding movement to take place between said artificial mandibular molar and oppositely-located artificial maxillary molars. A groove is formed in a bottom side of the four interconnected artificial molars, said groove extending throughout said four teeth and open at an end of the first premolar and an end of the second molar.

Abstract: An occlusal plane analyzer (5) is composed of an analysis board (7) made of a magnetic material and held above a lower jaw model (2), a magnet (8) which can attract the analysis board (7) with magnetic force and which has a circular support hole (15) going through in an attraction direction of the magnetic force, and a Monson curve imparting tool (9) composed of a spherical body section (17) which is made of a magnetic material with a diameter larger than an inside diameter of the support hole (15) and which can be attracted to the support hole (15), an extended section (18) extending from the spherical body section (17), and a spherical surface regenerating section (19) further extending from a distal end of the extended section (18) for drawing a circular arc concentric with the spherical body section (17).

Abstract: The present invention provides agents for alleviating symptoms resulting from inflammation, which have an activity to alleviate inflammatory symptoms caused by bacterial infection, particularly accumulation of body fluid such as bronchocavemous plasma exudation, ascites, etc., at the inflammatory site, or excessive increase of blood neutrophils; symptoms resulting from inflammation caused by bacterial infection, particularly accumulation of body fluid such as bronchocavemous plasma exudation ascites, etc., at the inflammatory site, or excessive increase of blood neutrophils, can be alleviated effectively by ingesting or administering orally or parenterally a composition containing human-type lactoferrin as an effective component.

Abstract: Fabricated rice containing whey protein in the range of 0.1-10% by weight, and optionally sodium alginate and calcium, and a process for preparing the same by mixing starches, whey protein(s), and optionally sodium alginate and a calcium salt with water, followed by heating and shaping.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for separating and concentrating acidic peptide, especially phosphopeptide having a phosphoserine residue, from a peptide mixture prepared by digesting casein with protease.

Abstract: A process for producing a cream cheese-like food comprising casein, an oil or fat, an emulsifying agent, lactose, a calcium salt in an amount of 4-24 mg, preferably 6-15 mg (as calcium) per gram of casein, and an orthophosphate wherein these ingredients are mixed together to obtain a solution. The resulting mixture solution is pasteurized, homogenized and cooled to 20.degree.-32.degree. C. to obtain an emulsion, then a starter and rennet are added to the emulsion. The whole emulsion mixture is fermented at 20.degree.-32.degree. C., the fermentation process is suspended in the pH range of 5.4-5.9, then glucono .delta.-lactone, a stabilizer and necessary additives are added thereto. The resultant whole mixture is pasteurized, charged into containers and then cooled. This method can be practiced to continuously make a cream cheese-like food by using a stirring device, homogenizer, transportation line, etc., which equipment is generally used in the dairy industries.

Abstract: This invention is relating to a process for producing a cream cheese-like food characterized in that casein, an oil or fat, an emulsifying agent, a calcium salt in an amount of 4-24 mg, preferably 6-15 mg (as calcium) per gram of casein and an orthophosphate are mixed together to obtain a solution, the resulting mixture solution is heated, homogenized, and cooled to obtain a liquid emulsion, then gluconic .delta.-lactone and rennet are added to the emulsion, the whole is maintained at 15.degree.-55.degree. C., preferably 20.degree.-40.degree. C. to regulate the texture and to attain the equilibrium of the emulsion in the pH range of 5.3-5.9, then a stabilizer, gluconic .delta.-lactone and necessary additives are added thereto and the whole is pasteurized, charged into containers and cooled.The method of this invention can continuously make a cream cheese-like food by using a stirring device, homogenizer, transportation line, etc. generally used in the dairy industries.
