Abstract: A method of manufacturing a ceramic assembly by assembling a plurality of green ceramic components, includes: subsequently mounting each of the plurality of green ceramic components on a heat resistant substrate made of a heat resistant material; bonding the plurality of green ceramic components mounted on the substrate with each other; and introducing a ceramic assembly formed by the plurality of green ceramic components bonded with each other into a sintering furnace while being mounted on the heat resistant substrate.

Abstract: A ceramic member includes a housing body made of ceramics provided with a first surface set as a measurement base surface extending in an X1 direction and a Y1 direction that is perpendicular to the X1 direction, and an attachment surface to which a member to be attached is fixed, the attachment surface being provided to have a first inclined angle with respect to the measurement base surface in the X1 direction and a second inclined angle with respect to the measurement base surface in the Y1 direction.

Abstract: A medicine effective in inhibiting glomerulonephritis is developed. A glomerulonephritis inhibitor contains, as an effective ingredient thereof, docosahexaenoic acid or a salt, ester, or amide thereof or other docosahexaenoic acid derivative.

Abstract: A process for generating an excited molecular oxygen by a procedure which comprises causing a mixture of an alkaline aqueous solution with hydrogen peroxide to wet the surface portion of a layer of a hydrophilic and gas-pervious material, causing a molecular chlorine-containing gas to penetrate said layer from the side opposite said surface thereof, enabling said gas during the penetration thereof through said material to react with said mixed aqueous solution which has wetted said surface portion of said material, and thereby inducing generation of said excited molecular oxygen, O.sub.2 (.sup.1 .DELTA.), through said surface portion of said layer wetted by said mixed aqueous solution.
