  • Publication number: 20240075037
    Abstract: [PROBLEM] The problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a novel pharmaceutical use of a JAK inhibitor. [SOLUTION MEANS] A therapeutic or preventive agent for a skin disease selected from the group consisting of senile xerosis, asteatosis, eczema and contact dermatitis, containing a JAK inhibitor as an active ingredient. [EFFECT] The followings are found: a JAK inhibitor increases the expression amounts of filaggrin, loricrin, involucrin and ?-defensin 3 as skin barrier function-related proteins; a JAK inhibitor significantly increases NMF production in a Tape Stripping-treated mouse; and a JAK inhibitor significantly accelerates a reduction in TEWL in a dry skin mouse model, namely improves the skin barrier function. The JAK inhibitor can be used as an active ingredient of a therapeutic or preventive agent for skin diseases such as senile xerosis, asteatosis, eczema, contact dermatitis, ichthyosis vulgaris, Netherton syndrome, type B peeling skin syndrome, etc.

  • Publication number: 20190273764
    Abstract: A relay server includes a network interface, a storage, and a controller. The network interface communicates with a user terminal and a device. The storage stores login information. When the user terminal performs a login, the controller transmits to the user terminal a device list including an identified sub ID. When receiving a connection request from the user terminal, the controller establishes, when a device to which a connection is requested is logged in, a communication session between the device and the user terminal. When the device to which a connection is requested is not logged in, the controller causes the device to log in and, after the device is logged in, establishes a communication session between the device and the user terminal.

  • Patent number: 9706012
    Abstract: In a relay communication system, if a request to perform a first remote operation on a first client terminal selected based on relay server information is received from a third client terminal, then a first relay server relays an operation event and image data, which are operation data of the first remote operation performed based on the first remote operation request, via an operation-performing session established between the second relay server and the first client terminal. If a monitoring request to monitor the first remote operation is received from a second client terminal, then the first relay server establishes a monitoring session with the second client terminal and transmits the operation data of the first remote operation via the monitoring session. As a result, a terminal other than the terminal that performs the remote operation or the terminal that undergoes the remote operation is capable of acquiring the content of the remote operation.

  • Patent number: 9521012
    Abstract: A virtual network is dynamically created to construct a relay communication system. Between a first relay server and a second relay server, a VLAN device information sharing unit shares VLAN device information including interface information of client terminals capable of functioning as VLAN devices in a relay group. A VLAN group information creation unit edits the VLAN device information, thereby creating VLAN group information formed by grouping the client terminals indicated in the VLAN device information. A VLAN group information sharing unit shares the VLAN group information among the first relay server, the second relay server, the client terminal connected to the first relay server, and the client terminal connected to the second relay server.

  • Patent number: 9385990
    Abstract: A relay server stores a first routing target address, and stores a second routing target address in association with a virtual address assigned to the second routing target address. The relay server exchanges address filter information with a relay server belonging to a selected VPN group, and establishes a routing session with the relay server. The relay server determines whether or not there is an overlap between the routing target addresses. Upon determination that there is an overlap, the relay server assigns a virtual address to the second routing target address. The relay server uses the virtual address to perform communication between the relay server itself and a first routing target device.
