  • Publication number: 20240075037
    Abstract: [PROBLEM] The problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a novel pharmaceutical use of a JAK inhibitor. [SOLUTION MEANS] A therapeutic or preventive agent for a skin disease selected from the group consisting of senile xerosis, asteatosis, eczema and contact dermatitis, containing a JAK inhibitor as an active ingredient. [EFFECT] The followings are found: a JAK inhibitor increases the expression amounts of filaggrin, loricrin, involucrin and ?-defensin 3 as skin barrier function-related proteins; a JAK inhibitor significantly increases NMF production in a Tape Stripping-treated mouse; and a JAK inhibitor significantly accelerates a reduction in TEWL in a dry skin mouse model, namely improves the skin barrier function. The JAK inhibitor can be used as an active ingredient of a therapeutic or preventive agent for skin diseases such as senile xerosis, asteatosis, eczema, contact dermatitis, ichthyosis vulgaris, Netherton syndrome, type B peeling skin syndrome, etc.

  • Publication number: 20230347544
    Abstract: Provided is a workpiece cutting device capable of reliably cutting a workpiece in a short period of time without damaging portions other than seams and without leading to an increase in size of the device in a case where the device is used to cut a workpiece formed into a sheet shape by partially coupling a plurality of small pieces to each other, for example. A workpiece cutting device that cuts a sheet-shaped or thin plate-shaped workpiece into a first-side workpiece and a second-side workpiece includes a securing mechanism that secures the first-side workpiece, a gripping and turning mechanism that grips the second-side workpiece and turns the second-side workpiece about a seam with the first-side workpiece as an axis, and a separating piece insertion mechanism that separates the first-side workpiece and the second-side workpiece at a vulnerable portion formed at the seam through a turning operation of the second-side workpiece performed by the gripping and turning mechanism.
