  • Publication number: 20200068919
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for making an animal snack containing cannabinoids. The innovation can be separated into two categories: Animal cookie for animals without medical diagnoses and animal cookie for animals with medical diagnoses. Both categories use medical grade cannabis, however the amount of cannabinoids is different in the two categories. Category 1 has 5% containment against the weight of one of the ingredients and category 2 has 10% containment against the same. The cookie part can be printed with a uniquely embossed rolling pin for a distinguished appearance. The cookies are baked in the oven to create a crispiness that is easy to chew for older animals when consumed. Cookies can be added to animal feed or regular food by crushing cookies in small pieces.

  • Patent number: 8580925
    Abstract: [PROBLEMS] To provide examination methods and reagents able to detect efficiently cancer patients and patients at high risk of cancer. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] Significant differences in the distribution of GlcNAc-6-sulfotransferase isozymes, sulfation enzymes of sugar residues, between non-carcinoma tissues and carcinoma tissues or adenoma tissues were discovered. The discovery is evidently applicable to detect carcinomas and adenomas (except colorectal carcinomas and colorectal adenomas) specifically by assaying a certain range of GlcNAc-6-sulfated sugar residue groups in tissues of patients and in fecal samples. Examination of carcinomas and adenomas is possible by the use of antibodies reacting specifically with GlcNAc-6-sulfated sugar residues specifically synthesized by enzymes present in carcinoma and adenoma tissues.

  • Publication number: 20100222883
    Abstract: The invention provides an artificial bone with substantially unidirectionally-oriented pores in the inside of an artificial bone material (artificial bone main body) and has, on its surface, a marker showing the orientation direction of the substantially unidirectionally-oriented pores. The marker may be a line symbol, a protrusion, a pit, etc. As a result, the direction of substantially unidirectionally-oriented pores in an artificial bone can be confirmed easily.
