Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a novel method for classifying cancer cells by an analysis method in which measurement of the activity of two types of protein kinase is used. Cancer cells are newly classified and drug sensitivity is predicted on the basis of the ratio of the activity of two types of protein kinase derived from the same sample.

Abstract: A method to prepare seaweed degradation product comprising contacting a bacterium having 16S rRNA sequence consisting of the nucleic acid sequence as recited in SEQ ID NO: 1 with a seaweed is provided.

Abstract: A method of producing seaweed paste including the steps of: placing seaweed, a chelating agent and water in a tank; and stirring the resulting composition at 0-20° C. to cut the seaweed, wherein the interior of the tank is in a vacuum state. A method of producing seaweed paste having good texture, smell and flavor and seaweed paste obtained by such a method are provided. A method of producing seaweed paste having good quality, which does not require treatment at a high temperature and thus can give a color and smell inherent to seaweeds and seaweed paste obtained by such a method are provided. A method of producing seaweed paste which requires a short treatment time, has good productivity and can reduce production costs, and seaweed paste obtained by such a method are provided.

Abstract: A blowing agent comprising a hydrofluorocarbon having at least one hydrogen atom and containing no chlorine is used to obtain a polystyrene-based resin foam body with a high expansion rate, employing as the base polymer a resinous blend comprising polystyrene and a polymer containing oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine or a resinous blend comprising polystyrene and an oxy acid or its derivative.

Abstract: A process for making a closed-cell, alkenyl aromatic polymer foam structure having enlarged cell size. An alkenyl aromatic polymer material is heated to form a melt polymer material. An amount of a non-waxy cell size enlarging agent is incorporated into the melt polymer material. The enlarging agent is present in an amount sufficient to enlarge the stabilized cell size of the formed foam structure by 20 percent or more over a corresponding foam structure made without the enlarging agent. Further, the enlarging agent is incorporated in a quantity such that the formed foam structure has physical properties substantially the same degree as the corresponding foam structure. A blowing agent is incorporated into the melt polymer material at an elevated pressure to form a foamable gel. The foamable gel is expanded in a zone of lower pressure to form the foam structure. Further, disclosed is a foam structure corresponding to the above.
