Abstract: An image capture apparatus that allows the user to easily change the brightness of an image that is shot while using automatic exposure control is disclosed. The image capture apparatus comprises a setting unit configured to be able to set a reference value of proper exposure. The image capture apparatus determines exposure conditions based on the luminance information and the reference value, wherein the reference value is a value used as a reference exposure value from which exposure conditions are varied in an exposure compensation.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises: a conversion unit configured to convert a characteristic of an image signal; and a display control unit configured to generate information indicating a relationship of image signals before and after conversion is performed by the conversion unit, and cause a display to display the information indicating a relationship of image signals, wherein the display control unit generates the information indicating a relationship of image signals, so as to include information indicating a relationship of scales of signals before and after conversion and information indicating a relationship of signal values before and after conversion.

Abstract: Derivatives of a nonimmunogenic plasminogen activator which comprises at least one polyalkylene glycol group chemically bonded with at least one coupling agent to amino acid side chains of said plasminogen activator, wherein said polyalkylene glycol has a molecular weight of about 200-20,000 and is unsubstituted or is substituted with one or more alkyl, alkoxy or alkanoyl groups or a mixture thereof.The plasminogen activator derivatives have an extended circulating life in the mammalian bloodstream and also inhibit the formation of thrombus in the same.

Abstract: A derivative of a human-originated non-immunogenic plasminogen activator is disclosed which comprises at least one polyalkylene glycol attached with at least one coupling agent to amino acid side chains of said plasminogen activator, said polyalkylene glycol having a molecular weight of 200-20,000 and optionally containing one or more alkyl and/or alkanoyl groups as substituents. Also disclosed are a process for producing such derivative and a thrombolytic agent containing such derivative.

Abstract: An N-acylcarnosine aluminum salt of the formula, ##STR1## Wherein R represents a lower alkyl group or a phenyl group, and n is an integer of 2 to 3 is effective for use as a digestive ulcer-remedying or anti-ulcer agent.
