  • IDENTIFICATION OF GROUP OF HYPERTENSION-SUSCEPTIBILITY GENES
    Publication number: 20100229249
    Abstract: Provided in the present invention is a genetic marker including a SNP which can be used for assessing the risk of developing hypertension, a polynucleotide for assessing the risk of developing hypertension which can be used as a primer or probe for detecting the genetic marker, a method for assessing the risk of developing hypertension using the SNP, a microarray for assessing the risk of developing hypertension which is used for genotyping of the SNP, a kit used in the method for assessing the risk of developing hypertension, and the like.

  • Process for producing aromatic polyester
    Patent number: 4611049
    Abstract: A process for producing an aromatic polyester having an aromatic dicarboxylic acid as a main acid component and trimethylene glycol or tetramethylene glycol as a main glycol component from a starting material composed mainly of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid or its functional derivative and trimethylene glycol or tetramethylene glycol; wherein at least one organometallic catalyst selected from the group consisting of organotitanium compounds and organotin compounds and at least one promoter selected from the group consisting of organic sulfonic acids and aliphatic carboxylic acids and being capable of increasing the catalyst activity of the organometallic catalyst are added to the reaction system so that the promoter increases the catalytic activity of the organometallic catalyst, and an aromatic polyester having an increased degree of polymerization is formed at an increased rate of polymerization.
