Abstract: A shield case of the invention includes a base of a generally U-shape in front view having widthwise end portions, the end portions each having a front surface and a back surface; a pair of folded-back portions, provided on the front the back surfaces of the end portions of the base and folded back backward, or alternatively provided on the back surfaces of the end portions of the base and folded back forward; a pair of side walls, extending from the folded-back portions along a length of the end portions of the base; a pair of first locking pieces, extending downward from the side walls; and a linking portion adapted to link between the side walls. The base, the side walls, and the linking portion define a body containing portion.

Abstract: The invention provides a connector including a shield case having a body containing portion; first and second bodies, contained in the body containing portion and combined; first contacts, embedded in the first body and arranged in a row; and second contacts, embedded in the second body and arranged in a different row. The body containing portion includes a top plate, a bottom plate and a pair of side plates. At least one plate of the top plate, the bottom plate and the side plates is smaller in length than the other plates, and a back surface of the one plate functions as an abutting stop surface on which the first body abuts. A back surface of at least one of the other plates is provided with a lock piece, and the first and second bodies are sandwiched between the abutting stop surface and the lock piece.

Abstract: A scavenger of superoxide anion or nitric oxide comprising finepowder of a transition metal such as platinum. The scavenger is preferably provided as an aqueous solution containing transition metal colloid at a ratio of 1 mM or less per 1,000 ml, and can efficiently eliminate excessive superoxide anions or nitric oxide in vivo.
