  • Publication number: 20160368243
    Abstract: A surface-treated steel sheet of the present invention includes: a base steel sheet; a surface treatment layer which is formed on at least one surface of the base steel sheet and includes an oxide layer and a metal layer; and a chemical conversion layer which is formed on a surface of the surface treatment layer. The surface treatment layer contains Zn in an adhered amount of 0.30 g/m2 to 2.00 g/m2 and Ni in an adhered amount of 0.03 g/m2 to 2.00 g/m2, which is equal to or lower than the adhered amount of Zn. In a case of performing a glow discharge spectrometry, at an interface between the oxide layer and the metal layer, an emission intensity of Fe atoms is 20% or less of the maximum emission intensity of the Fe atoms, and the emission intensity of Ni atoms is 20% or less of the maximum emission intensity of the Ni atoms.

  • Patent number: 9492422
    Abstract: A therapeutic or prophylactic agent for diabetes includes a thiazolidine derivative as a PPAR-? agonist as an effective component which exhibits a reduced side effect of the PPAR-? agonist. The therapeutic or prophylactic agent for diabetes includes a particular IP agonist such as beraprost sodium (BPS), and a thiazolidine derivative such as pioglitazone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Since the therapeutic or prophylactic agent exhibits a sufficiently effective hypoglycemic action without being accompanied by side effects characteristic to PPAR-? agonists, the agent is useful as a highly safe and effective therapeutic or prophylactic agent for diabetes.
