Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for preparing exosomes using: (i) a step for ultrafiltering a sample containing at least one exosome; and (ii) a step for subjecting the sample that can be obtained from step (i) to anion exchange column chromatography.

Abstract: A method for testing for sensitivity of chemotherapy against colorectal cancer, the method using, as an indicator, methylation in at least one site selected from the group consisting of CpG sites comprised in regions (i) to (xvi) in DNA collected from a colorectal cancer patient (the regions (i) to (xvi) are as described herein).

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a method for preparing exosomes comprising: (i) a step for ultrafiltering a sample containing at least one exosome; and (ii) a step for subjecting the sample that can be obtained from step (i) to anion exchange column chromatography.

Abstract: A center console structure includes a columnar part erected on a vehicle interior floor surface between a driver seat and a passenger seat and extends upward to the vicinity of the cushion surfaces of the seats and an upper body that is disposed above the columnar part, extends in a front-rear direction, has an upper surface part forming a center console surface, and accommodates a shift operation mechanism, in which the upper body extends forward of the columnar part that is cantilevered and has an extension part that is bent and then rises forward and obliquely upward in the front part thereof, a surface part of the extension part close to a sitting occupant forms an outer surface continuous with the center console surface and a portion of the extension part close to the front of the vehicle is locked to a rear projecting part of an instrument panel.

Abstract: A center console structure includes a metal internal frame that supports a shift operation mechanism, and an outer sheath body made of resin that encloses the internal frame and forms a dressed surface. A front side part of the internal frame is slanted so that an upper member is positioned forward and obliquely upward of a base part member closer to the floor surface, and a storage part is formed in front of the base part member in which a bottom part extending in a vehicle front-rear direction to a position immediately below an instrument panel is provided. Both left and right side walls of the bottom part are surrounded by left and right fence parts formed by extending lower parts of left and right side wall parts of the outer sheath body forward, a rear part is surrounded by a front lower part of the outer sheath body.

Abstract: Detection method of a base mutation in a target base sequence of a nucleic acid sample, includes: performing a PCR reaction with the nucleic acid sample as a template, using a primer set capable of amplifying, by PCR, an amplification target region including the target base sequence; a blocker nucleic acid fragment having a base sequence complementary to the target base sequence and including a residue which is synthetic nucleic acid; and a probe that hybridizes to a region, in the target region, closer to a 5? end of the target region than the target base sequence in the same chain as the target base sequence, and that has a fluorescent substance on one of a 5? end and a 3? end of the probe and a quenching substance on the other; and measuring an amplification amount of the template in the PCR reaction by detecting fluorescence from the probe.

Abstract: A food receptacle includes a top surface for retaining food and the top surface has a perimeter, an outer wall connected to the perimeter, a finger slot in the outer wall, a bottom surface with a finger channel, the finger channel corresponding to a ridge in the top surface, and a fastener that releasably attaches the receptacle to an external surface, wherein the fastener, finger slot, and finger channel are arranged so that a finger can be inserted through the finger slot and finger channel in a direction toward the fastener, and wherein the finger slot and finger channel provide a substantially unobstructed linear path to the fastener.

Abstract: A magneto-optical recording medium comprises in combination: a magneto-optical recording layer capable of writing or erasing information by a laser beam and an external magnetic field and of reading the information by a Kerr effect; and a substrate having the magneto-optical recording layer formed thereon. The magneto-optical recording layer has at least two layers, including a first magneto-optical recording layer and a second magneto-optical recording layer which are magnetically coupled together. The first magneto-optical recording layer is a layer providing a greater magneto-optical effect in a short light wavelength range than the second magneto-optical recording layer though that having less perpendicular magnetic energy than this, as is provided on an irradiation side of the laser beam. It provides advantages in both the magneto-optical effect and perpendicular anisotropy in consideration of the thicknesses or compositions of the first and second magneto-optical recording layers.

Abstract: An optical recording/ reproducing method which is characterized by irradiating a magnetic material having a perpendicular anisotropy with a laser beam to cause a change in the perpendicular anisotropy in the magnetic material to a non-perpendicular anisotropy thereby to record information; and by reproducing the information by detecting a change in a magneto-optic effect such as the Kerr effect. Also disclosed are an optical recording material and an optical recording device for use in the optical recording/reproducing method.
