Abstract: A gasket for use in a syringe has a core part and a coating layer formed on the core part at least a portion thereof which contacts the syringe. In a portion where the coating layer is formed, an outer surface of the core part is not exposed, and an outer surface layer of the core part is formed of the coating layer. The coating layer is an elastic solidified material layer made of a silicone-based resin composition. In an enlarged image of the coating layer observed in an axial section of the gasket by using a transmission electron microscope, the coating layer has island-shaped solidified parts and sea-like solidified parts each positioned between the island-shaped solidified parts and linking the island-shaped solidified parts to each other and does not substantially have pin holes. The island-shaped solidified part is composed mainly of aggregates of reactive silicone.

Abstract: Provided are a hemoglobin-containing liposome having a specific membrane composition which secures high encapsulation efficiency of hemoglobin and exhibits excellent physical stability and in-vivo stability; and a method for producing the hemoglobin-containing liposome. A hemoglobin-containing liposome includes a hemoglobin solution as an internal fluid of a liposome, in which the membrane of the liposome is constituted of a lipid mixture of a phospholipid, cholesterol, and a saturated higher fatty acid, and a molar ratio of the cholesterol to the phospholipid (cholesterol/phospholipid) is 0.7 to 1.0, and the content of stearic acid in the lipid mixture is 25 to 30 mol %. Preferably, the membrane of the liposome further contains a polyethylene glycol-bound phospholipid in an amount of 0.8 mol % or more relative to the total amount of the lipids constituting the membrane, and the polyethylene glycol-bound phospholipid is bound onto the outer surface of the membrane.

Abstract: [PROBLEMS] To provide a method of efficiently producing virus-inactivated hemoglobin from erythrocytes without affecting physical and chemical properties of hemoglobin while allowing to conduct an erythrocyte hemolysis treatment and viral inactivation treatment at the same time and also to perform a post-hemolysis purification step and a post-virus-inactivation purification step in a single step, and especially, a method of efficiently obtaining highly virus-inactivated and sterile hemoglobin assured of the inactivation of any virus regardless of the presence or absence of envelopes. [SOLVING MEANS] A method of producing virus-inactivated hemoglobin, which includes: an SD treatment step of bringing erythrocytes and a mixture of a solvent and a detergent into contact with each other to simultaneously conduct an erythrocyte hemolysis treatment and viral inactivation treatment of said erythrocytes and a purification step of collecting virus-inactivated hemoglobin from the resulting SD-treated solution.

Abstract: The pressure sensitive sensor includes a sheet base, an application-side and a receiving-side electrode provided on the sheet base and conducting coatings provided on the electrodes. The conductive electrodes have pressure-sensitive conductive ink containing conductive carbon black. Resistance between the application-side electrode and the receiving-side electrode changes by a contact area between the conductive coatings on the electrodes. The pressure-sensitive conductive ink has an enhanced strength as a resin and an enhanced effect of dispersion of the conductive carbon black by adding 30 to 70 parts by weight of silicon dioxide to 100 parts by weight of silicone elastomer component as a binder. The pressure-sensitive sensor has output stability and linearity at temperatures in a wide range from ?40° C. to 85° C.

Abstract: A polyurethane elastomer actuator comprising a polyurethane elastomer 1 capable of deforming due to the orientation by an electric field, wherein the shrinkage displacement occurring at the time of the application of an electric field is transformed into other displacement. This polyurethane elastomer actuator does not require electrolyte and high voltage. Since it is not accompanied by chemical reactions and heat generation, its durability hardly deteriorates. This actuator deforms largely during driving.
