Abstract: Provided are a novel screening method for a substance that potentiates damaged DNA repair capability, based on a test with DNA repair as an index with improved sensitivity as a simplified version of the currently available unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) assay based on 3H-thymidine and BrdU or recovery of RNA synthesis (RRS) test, and the like. By measuring UDS activity quickly at high sensitivity using a method of nucleotide fluorescence detection with the use of a click chemistry reaction (e.g., detection of terminal alkyne-modified nucleoside by means of a reporter molecule containing an azide moiety), a substance capable of DNA repair can be selected.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of 4-(4-methylpiperazin-1-ylmethyl)-N-[4-methyl-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-2-ylamino)phenyl]-benzamide of the following formula or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of anaplastic thyroid cancers

Abstract: A pressure sensitive touch panel in which the position of an inner periphery of a window frame is disposed opposite to spacers, whereby a conductive film, which bends together with a flexible insulating plate when an operator presses the window frame, is caught by the spacers. In addition, protrusions are provided above the surface of an insulating layer, and inserted between the window frame and the flexible insulating plate or between the insulating layer and the conductive film, whereby the conductive film does not contact the upper edge of the end portion of the insulating layer. Thus, it is possible to avoid the damage to the conductive film due to the bending of the window frame and to avoid input of unintended and erroneous position data of input coordinates.

Abstract: There is provided a highly versatile touch panel inspection device. The touch panel inspection device comprises a stage 1 having a mounting surface, two column members 3, 4 disposed on the stage and extended upward from the stage, a rail member 2 disposed above the stage approximately in parallel to the mounting surface of the stage while both ends thereof are locked to the column members by locking means 32, a support member 5 supported rotatably around the rail member, an arm member 6 having a predetermined length and integrally engaged with the support member in vertical to the rail member, and a pen member 7 having an approximately conical tip and engaged with a tip of the arm member. The locking means 32 is movable up and down along the column members with respect to the stage, and locks the rail member in optional positions of the column members.

Abstract: A liquid crystal display apparatus includes an upper substrate having a first alignment layer and a first polarization plate. A lower substrate has a second alignment layer and a second polarization plate. A liquid crystal material is sandwiched between the upper substrate and the lower substrate. The first polarizing plate is arranged such that an up-and-down direction of a screen in the liquid crystal display apparatus becomes its first polarization-axis direction. The second polarizing plate is arranged such that its second polarization-axis direction becomes rectangular for the first polarization-axis direction. The first alignment layer is aligned by rubbing-treatment in the first polarization-axis direction. The second alignment layer is aligned by rubbing-treatment in the second polarization-axis direction.

Abstract: In the present invention, the position of an inner periphery of the window frame 11 is disposed opposite to spacers 19, whereby conductive film 22, which bends together with flexible insulating plate 13 when an operator presses the window frame 11, is caught by the spacers 19.

Abstract: Disclosed is fluorocarbon-based dry etching gas which is free of global environmental problems and a dry etching method using a plasma gas obtained therefrom. The dry etching gas includes a fluorinated ether of carbon, fluorine, hydrogen and oxygen and having 2-6 carbon atoms.
