Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide a method for easily and objectively detecting mood disorders in a subject by measuring the expression levels of prescribed genes in the peripheral blood of the subject, the reliability of the detection result being high. The invention also provides a method for detecting mood disorders in a subject, the method having a step for measuring the gene expression levels of ribosomal protein genes, CDKN1C, or any combination thereof in the peripheral blood derived from the subject, and detecting whether or not the subject has mood disorders on the basis of the measurement results.

Abstract: [Problem to be Solved by the Invention] To predict the efficacy of a rheumatoid arthritis therapeutic agent, or find a simple and highly reproducible hiomarker that can be used to assess the activity of disease conditions and states of rheumatoid arthritis, and provide an effective method. [Solution] A method for predicting the efficacy of a rheumatoid arthritis therapeutic agent on a.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire includes a surface cord disposed on at least one of an outer surface, which is a surface of a carcass at a tire outer side, and an inner surface, which is a surface of the carcass at a tire inner side. The surface cord has conductivity and is disposed along a tire width direction from at least a region adjoining a bead to a tread. A plurality of the surface cords is disposed with a predetermined interval in a tire circumferential direction.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to find a simple biomarker with high reproducibility with regard to a method for evaluating the activity of the condition and progression of rheumatoid arthritis disease and provide an effective evaluation method therefor. The invention is to provide a method for determining the value of a rheumatoid arthritis-linked indicator in a subject, the method being characterized by comprising a step for measuring the amount of expression of the FAM20A gene in blood collected from the subject, a step for analyzing the measured amount of expression using a gene expression profile that is prepared in advance and correlates with the indicator and a step for estimating the value of the indicator in the subject on the basis of the analysis results.
