  • ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20120215109
    Abstract: When an amount of visceral fat is measured using ultrasonic waves during medical examination of metabolic syndrome, three contact positions are defined on the surface of the abdominal region, and three distances inside the living body are measured by bringing a probe into contact with the surface of the abdominal region at the contact positions. Specifically, three measurement paths having a starting point at the center of the descending aorta are set, and the distances from the center to a surface of the fat layer adjacent to the surface of the body (inner surface of the subcutaneous layer) in the measurement paths are observed. An approximate area of a visceral fat region can be determined from the three distances and two angles defined by the three measurement paths, and an index value is calculated on the basis of the area. A probe holder having three holding portions is desirably used.

  • DRUG FOR DIAGNOSING LARGE INTESTINAL CANCER AND/OR POLYP, OBSERVING POSTOPERATIVE COURSE AND MONITORING RECURRENCE
    Publication number: 20100041167
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for diagnosing large intestinal cancer and/or polyp and a method for observing postoperative course or monitoring recurrence thereof, wherein each method includes detecting cystatin SN protein by use of an anti-cystatin SN antibody. The present invention is able to provide a kit for assaying cystatin SN, which can be used, in a simple manner, in a diagnosis performed prior to conventional barium enema examination and endoscopic examination which impose burdens on patients; as an indicator of metastasis and recurrence; and in the evaluation of therapeutic effects. The present invention provides a method for diagnosing or monitoring large intestinal cancer and/or polyp which can be performed in a simple manner, and thus can allow to design a new regimen rapidly.
