Abstract: The present invention is a medical treatment system using an information processing terminal and an information processing network, and a method using said system, wherein the objective of the invention is to provide: a system that performs optimal medical treatment to a patient on the basis of a diagnostic cross-sectional assessment and/or a disease-specific assessment, such that treatment using process-based CBT is possible; and a method using said system. Toward this end, this system (100) has: a block (10A1: diagnostic cross-sectional assessment part) having a function for, while using normal lifestyle date, assessing the degree to which a patient is adaptively behaving, or non-adaptively behaving, in response to psychosocial issue, lifestyle adaptation, stress, etc.

Abstract: Provided are a system and the like for effectively treating ED by enabling not only administration of a PDE5 inhibitor but also execution of psychotherapy and other therapies through an information network and an information processing terminal while minimizing a treatment directly undergone face-to-face with a doctor or a medical worker.

Abstract: A synoviolin expression inhibitor for inhibiting the expression of a synoviolin gene and a synoviolin protein is provided. A synoviolin expression inhibitor, which inhibits an expression of a synoviolin gene or an expression of a synoviolin protein, the inhibitor comprising, as an active ingredient, a mesenchymal stem cell or a culture supernatant thereof and a method of producing a synoviolin expression inhibitor comprising the step of obtaining a mesenchymal stem cell or a culture supernatant thereof by culturing a mesenchymal stem cell using a serum-free medium, and the step of preparing the synoviolin expression inhibitor, which inhibits an expression of a synoviolin gene or an expression of a synoviolin protein, by using the mesenchymal stem cell or the culture supernatant thereof obtained in the previous step.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide a disease diagnostic system capable of diagnosing with high accuracy whether a subject is afflicted with a disease, without inflicting pain on the subject. [Means for Resolution] The disease diagnostic system includes collecting means (5) for collecting a substance (e.g., aspiration, sweat, human waste or urine) emitting an odor (e.g., mouth odor, body odor or underarm odor) and storing the same therein, measuring means (10) for measuring whether an indicated substance indicative of the existence of a disease is contained in the odor-emitting substance stored in the collecting means (5), and control means (20) for processing a signal indicative of a result of measurement by the measuring means (10) to determine whether the subject (2) is being afflicted with a disease.

Abstract: The soil contamination detector and detection method are provided, the detector and the detection method can significantly simplify investigation and analysis of a contaminant without use of any large analyzer like a gas chromatograph. The soil contamination detector comprises a sensor (10) and a control mechanism (12). The sensor (10) is disposed in a region (4) as a contamination investigation object, for detecting odor (S) of a substance (M) contaminating soil (G). The control mechanism (12) compares the concentration (D) of the contaminant (M) detected by the sensor (10) with the tolerance limit concentration (Pd) of the contaminant (M) to determine the contamination.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating a desired smell by processing smell information through a combination of a computer system and a perfume generating means. In order to generate a desired smell under control of a computer, preset perfume information concerning a smell classification table, kinds of preset perfume corresponding to the items of smell in the smell classification table, the amount of smell to be generated and the variation with time of the amount is registered, the item of a specific smell is selected from the smell classification table, and relevant pieces of the preset perfume information corresponding to the item of the specific smell is extracted. A deodorant may be combined or various smells may be combined with an image.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a card hard to counterfeit it by reading information stored thereinside even if an electronic technique is abused, a card reader used to read such a card, and an authentication system using the card and the card reader. Therefore, in the present invention, fragrant materials (fragrant material chips 13) are placed at predetermined locations on a card surface on the side of contact with the card reader (card reader 2), and the surface on which the fragrant materials are placed in such a manner that a predetermined amount of fragrant-material molecules pass therethrough and are released, is covered so as to reach a flat surface.

Abstract: When a fitting piece slips out of a rail groove of a guide rail in connection with an excessive load on a shutter curtain is restored to the rail groove, the restoration is reliably set and noiselessly carried out. A posture holding bar and fitting pieces, which are spaced from both right and left sides of the posture holding bar at a predetermined interval, are provided at the lower end portion of the shutter curtain. A first guide body guides the posture holding bar to the opposing site to the rail groove in the process of an opening/closing operation of the shutter curtain. A second guide body guides the fitting piece at the lower end portion of the shutter curtain to the opposing side to the rail groove in conformity with a timing at which the posture holding bar is positionally regulated to the opposing side to the rail groove by the first guide body is provided at the upper side of the rail groove constituting the guide rail.

Abstract: When a fitting piece slipping out of a rail groove of a guide rail in connection with an excessive load on a shutter curtain is restored to the rail groove, the restoration is set to be reliably and noiselessly carried out. An posture holding bar 14 and fitting pieces 5 which are spaced from both right and left sides of the posture holding bar 14 at a predetermined interval are provided at the lower end portion of the shutter curtain 1, and a first guide body 15 for guiding the posture holding bar 14 to the opposing site to the rail groove 9a in the process of an opening/closing operation of the shutter curtain 1, and a second guide body 16 for guiding the fitting piece 5 at the lower end portion of the shutter curtain 1 to the opposing site to the rail groove 9a in conformity with a timing at which the posture holding bar 14 is positionally regulated to the opposing site to the rail groove 9a by the first guide body 15 are provided at the upper side of the rail groove 9a constituting the guide rail 4.
