Abstract: To increase vibration resistance of a connection terminal, a tip of which is soldered to a circuit board. In a controller, the circuit board is accommodated in a controller housing made of metal, and the tip of the connection terminal that extends from an actuator housing through an opening is fixed to the circuit board. Semiconductor switching elements and electrolytic capacitors as heat generating components are collectively arranged in an area of the circuit board adjacent to the connection terminal, and the circuit board is adhered and fixed to a top surface of a heat mass via a thermal conductive adhesive. At the same time as that heat dissipation is improved by the thermal conductive adhesive, a load caused by vibration is reduced because the circuit board is fixed at a position near the connection terminal to the controller housing.

Abstract: Disclosed is the construction of a system capable of quickly and easily identifying patients having a risk for worsening inflammatory digestive tract disease by identifying a causal factor for the worsening of the inflammatory digestive tract disease. Specifically disclosed is a method for detecting oral bacteria that cause worsening of inflammatory digestive tract disease and/or a screening that targets high risk for worsening of inflammatory digestive tract disease and/or determining the risk for worsening of the inflammatory digestive tract disease by PA not being detected and/or CBP being detected, inclusive of the detection of PA, which is an oral bacteria protein antigen, and/or CBP, which is collagen binding protein, in samples. Also disclosed are a detection reagent and kit used for this method.

Abstract: The present invention has as its object to provide a process for determining the degree of pathogenicity of infecting bacterial strains in the case of canine periodontal disease. The present inventors found that Porphyromonas gulae is a major pathogen of canine periodontal disease, and demonstrated that the fimA genes encoding FimA (fimbrillin) protein which constitute fimbriae of this bacterium are classified into three major groups, and that each of the groups is correlated with the pathogenicity of this bacterium as a pathogenic bacterial of periodontal disease. Thus the inventors completed the present invention.
