Abstract: A pump control device and a valve control device each includes: an instruction calculator that calculates a control instruction of causing a controlled object to operate by using a manipulation amount of a manipulation and at least one control parameter, and inputs the calculated control instruction to the controlled object; and an ideal output calculator that calculates an ideal output of an actuator, the ideal output being associated with the manipulation amount of the manipulation. The pump control device adjusts at least one pump control parameter to reduce a difference between a control output and the ideal output when an operation of a movable part is a power running operation. The valve control device adjusts at least one valve control parameter to reduce a difference between a control output and the ideal output when the operation of the movable part is a non-power running operation.

Abstract: Provided is an anti-inflammatory composition which has a high efficacy, causes no concern about side effects, is easy to ingest, and can also be administered for a long period of time because of its low cost and high safety. The present invention relates to a peptide comprising an amino acid sequence represented by pyroGlu-(X)n-A or a salt thereof, wherein X is independently Gln, Asn, or Pro; A represents Gln, Asn, Leu, Ile, Met, Val, or Phe; and n represents an integer of 0 to 2, and an anti-inflammatory composition comprising the same.

Abstract: This invention provides a composition having preventive and/or therapeutic effects on liver disease, which is highly effective, free of side effects, easily ingestible, and capable of long-term ingestion from the viewpoint of a cost and safety. This invention relates to a peptide having the amino acid sequence represented by the following formula: pyroGlu-(X)n-A, wherein X is the same or different and represents Gln or Asn; A represents Gln, Asn, Leu, Ile, or Val; and n is an integer from 0 to 2 or a salt thereof.
