Abstract: An evaluation method is performed by an arithmetic circuit and includes obtainment processing (S1), evaluation processing (S2), and presentation processing (S3). The obtainment processing (S1) obtains: image information on a sectional image representing an interested section of an organism including a target section of a testis of the organism generated by use of magnetic resonance of hydrogen atoms; and concentration information on a creatine concentration in the interested section measured by use of magnetic resonance based on chemical exchange saturation transfer. The evaluation processing (S2) generates an evaluation image representing a distribution of evaluation results of a testicular function in the target section based on the concentration information. The presentation processing (S3) presents the sectional image and the evaluation image.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a polynucleotide which can be inserted into an expression vector and can enhance the transcriptional activity of a predetermined promoter under heart failure. The object is achieved by an enhancer polynucleotide comprising a polynucleotide consisting of a sequence having 80% or more identity with a sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1, or a polynucleotide consisting of a sequence having 80% or more identity with a sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 2, wherein the enhancer polynucleotide responds to heart failure (where the enhancer polynucleotide excludes a polynucleotide having the same sequence as a sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 13 and a polynucleotide having the same sequence as a sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 12).
