Abstract: An image pickup apparatus which is capable of reliably detecting a subject using a wireless tag and shooting the subject with a desirable composition and facial expression. The image pickup apparatus has an image pickup unit, a changing unit that changes an orientation of an optical axis of the image pickup unit, a receiving unit that receives a radio wave transmitted from an external wireless tag to detect a position of the wireless tag, and a subject detecting unit that detects a subject from image data output from the image pickup unit. When the subject is detected, whether or not to perform shooting is determined based on the image data. When the optical axis of the image pickup unit faces toward the wireless tag, a threshold value for detecting the subject is set to a smaller value than an initial value thereof.

Abstract: Drug compositions of angiogenesis therapy contain gene coding for human prostacyclin synthase (hPGIS) synthesizing prostaglandin I2 with activities of vasodialation and/or anti-platelet aggregation; drug compositions contain adeno-associated virus (AAV) inserted with gene for angiogenesis factors. The administration of the drug compositions into the aimed treatment region results in transfer of AAV type 1-hPGIS to skeletal muscles and induces a notable expression of human PGIS gene in skeletal muscles. The PGI2 is produced by mediation of the gene expression in the muscle cells, secreted, induces vessel-protective, neovascularization and anti-platelet aggregation actions, which lead to an improvement in vascular ischemia.
