Abstract: One drug (solid preparation) 100 of the present invention is a drug for a disease of kidney that contains a silicon fine particle, an aggregate of the silicon fine particles, or a crystal grain of silicon having a hydrogen-generating ability. Hydrogen generated from the silicon fine particle in the drug can contribute to the prevention and/or treatment of the kidney disease.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for cancer treatment comprising an antibody against CCR8.

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: A problem to be addressed by the present invention is to provide: a method for detecting bone metastasis of cancer (excluding castration resistant prostate cancer) in a simple and highly accurate manner; and a reagent that can be used in the method. Bone metastasis of cancer (excluding castration resistant prostate cancer) is detected by measuring an intact growth and differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) propeptide level, a GDF15 propeptide fragment level, and the total of an intact GDF15 propeptide level and a GDF15 propeptide fragment level in a sample. The above described method for detecting bone metastasis of cancer includes a method for detecting bone metastasis of prostate cancer other than castration resistant prostate cancer, renal cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, thyroid cancer, pancreatic cancer, bladder cancer, colon cancer, melanoma, myeloma, or lymphoma.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a method for detecting cancer in a simple and highly accurate manner, and a reagent that can be used in the method. A method for detecting cancer (excluding renal cell cancer), which comprises measuring the level of Azurocidin (AZU1) in a sample, in which it is determined that cancer is detected when a measured value exceeds a preset reference value. The cancer is preferably selected from the group consisting of stomach cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and lung cancer. A reagent containing an antibody that specifically recognizes AZU1 is used in detecting cancer (excluding renal cell cancer).

Abstract: One drug (preparation) of the present invention is a drug for a reproductive disorder containing a silicon fine particle, an aggregate of silicon fine particles or a crystal grain of silicon having a hydrogen-generating ability. Hydrogen generated from the silicon fine particle in the drug can contribute to the prevention and/or treatment of reproductive disorder.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide a method for detecting high-risk prostate cancer, for the purpose of providing useful information, such as necessity of biopsy, to a test-positive patient in a PSA test. [Solution] The method for detecting high-risk prostate cancer according to the present invention comprises reacting a PSA contained in a sample composed of urine collected from a human body which is suspected to be suffering from prostate cancer with (1) a fucose ?1?6 affinitive lectin which has a characteristic property that the lectin has affinity expressed by a binding constant of 1.0×104 M?1 or more (at 25° C.) for an ?1?6 fucose sugar chain No. 405. The fucose ?1?6 affinitive lectin is preferably (2) a fucose ?1?6 specific lectin which has a characteristic property that the lectin has a binding constant of 1.0×104 M?1 or less (at 25° C.) for a sugar chain No. 003 that does not contain ?1?6 fucose and a glycolipid-type sugar chain No. 909 that does not contain ?1?6 fucose.

Abstract: [Problem] To provide a method for detecting prostate cancer, the method having a higher degree of certainty than the PSA blood test and providing measurement values that correlate with risk classification. [Solution] This method for detecting prostate cancer is characterized in that: the method includes reacting fucose ?1?6 specific lectin and fucosylated PSA contained in a sample constituted of serum collected from a subject, and detecting the reacted lectin; and the pH in at least one step of the group consisting of the reaction step for reacting the fucosylated PSA and the lectin and processing steps thereafter is adjusted to above 8.5 and less than 11.0.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a method of measuring an efficacy of a drug composition for cancer and a method for treating a cancer by administering to a subject an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition having a polypeptide that binds to a peptide produced by cDNA of GenBank ACC No. NM_005201.3 or NM_007720.2.
