  • Patent number: 11730718
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing an inhibitor for retinochoroidal disorders, in particular, an inhibitor for retinochoroidal scar formation and retinochoroidal atrophy in an epiretinal, intraretinal or subretinal tissue. This problem can be solved by preparing an inhibitor for retinochoroidal disorders which comprises, as an active ingredient, (E)-4-(2-{3-[(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl]-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalene-2-yl}vinyl)benzoic acid, an ester thereof or a salt of the same. The inhibitor for retinochoroidal disorders can inhibit collagen atrophy of retinal pigment epithelium cells, fibroblasts, glial cells and the like and thus inhibit retinochoroidal disorders.

  • Patent number: 11378526
    Abstract: A faulted condition determination method is designed to detect a chromium content and a nickel content in a predetermined boundary region proximate to a boundary between a high-strength ferrite steel and a weld material in a welded joint in which the high-strength ferrite steel and another steel are welded together using the weld material containing nickel and to thereby determine the faulted condition of the predetermined boundary region based on the chromium content and the nickel content. Accordingly, it is possible to appropriately determine the faulted condition of welding of a replacement part in which a high-strength ferrite steel and another steel are welded together using a nickel-based weld material.
