Abstract: Disclosed are methods for preparing a high-performance soft magnetic composites and magnetic toroidal cores thereof. A spherical soft magnetic alloy particle is coated with an insulating layer to form a mixed powder, and the mixed powder is loaded into a mold and subjected to a compression molding. An external magnetic field is applied during the compression molding of the mixed powder, and the external magnetic field is parallel to a working magnetic circuit plane and perpendicular to a normal direction of the working magnetic circuit plane. Then a stress-relief annealing is performed to obtain the high-performance soft magnetic composite.

Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a method and a reagent for measuring the uptake capacity of a lipoprotein with higher accuracy. This problem is solved by preparing a lipoprotein incorporating a labeled sterol, by mixing the lipoprotein in a sample and the labeled sterol in the presence of a surfactant having no cyclic structure, and measuring the uptake capacity of the labeled sterol of the lipoprotein.

Abstract: Provided is a monoclonal antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof which binds to a peptide consisting of 51st to 110th amino acid sequence or a peptide consisting of 201st to 267th amino acid sequence of an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, and is capable of binding to high-density lipoproteins of (1) to (3) below; (1) high-density lipoprotein that is oxidatively modified, (2) high-density lipoprotein that is not oxidatively modified, and (3) high-density lipoprotein incorporating labeled cholesterol.
