Abstract: A system according to one aspect of the present disclosure comprises an acquisition unit, a determination unit, and an output unit. The acquisition unit acquires a list of consumers selected from a first consumer group. The determination unit determines, based on first and second databases, consumers in a second consumer group at least similar in feature to the consumers represented in the list as targets. The first and the second databases respectively represent features related to consumption behavior of each of consumers belonging to the first and the second consumer groups. The output unit outputs data representing one of tendency or behavior history of the targets.

Abstract: The present invention provides a drug-eluting stent graft for preventing stent graft-related complications as well as treating aneurysm. Specifically, the present invention relates to a drug-eluting stent graft comprising a drug, a drug-retaining agent and a stent graft, and a method for therapy of aneurysm including the use of the drug-eluting stent graft.

Abstract: Provided is an advanced heart failure treatment material, as a myocardial/cardiovascular regeneration device, that self-assembles, which can improve the universality and be used in an emergency by commercialization with no need of cell-culturing (cell-free) by controlling stem cells, and has a high therapeutic effect on the fundamental treatment of intractable cardiovascular diseases, in particular, advanced heart failure, in which not only the saving of lives but also improving the patient's quality of life (QOL) are urgent issues. The advanced heart failure treatment material includes a pharmaceutical agent, an agent holding for the pharmaceutical agent, and a myocardial support device.

Abstract: It relates to an endogenous repair factor production accelerator which comprises one or at least two selected from prostaglandin (PG) I2 agonist, EP2 agonist and EP4 agonist. Since prostaglandin (PG) I2 agonist, EP2 agonist or EP4 agonist has various endogenous repair factor production accelerating action, angiogenesis acceleration action and stem cell differentiation induction action, it is useful as preventive and/or therapeutic agents for ischemic organ diseases (e.g., arteriosclerosis obliterans, Buerger disease, Raynaud disease, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, diabetic neuropathy, spinal canal stenosis, cerebrovascular accidents, cerebral infarction, pulmonary hypertension, bone fracture, Alzheimer disease, etc.) and various cell and organ diseases.

Abstract: The present invention provides a microsphere with a slow-release period from about two weeks to about four weeks following administration, to enable a higher content of a drug to be included, to suppress an initial burst of the drug, and to maintain an optimal, effective blood concentration during the slow-release period. In a microsphere containing a drug and polylactic acid/glycolic acid (PLGA) copolymer, the amount of PLGA copolymer per part by weight of the drug is from about 3 to about 10 parts by weight; the average particle size of the microsphere is from about 20 to about 50 ?m; and (3) the PLGA copolymer has a weight-average molecular weight from about 10,000 to about 50,000 and a PLGA compositional ratio from about 75/25 to about 50/50. The microsphere promotes the production of various endogenous repair factors useful against various tissue disorders.

Abstract: It relates to an endogenous repair factor production accelerator which comprises one or at least two selected from prostaglandin (PG) 12 agonist, EP2 agonist and EP4 agonist. Since prostaglandin (PG) 12 agonist, EP2 agonist or EP4 agonist has various endogenous repair factor production accelerating action, angiogenesis acceleration action and stem cell differentiation induction action, it is useful as preventive and/or therapeutic agents for ischemic organ diseases (e.g., arteriosclerosis obliterans, Buerger disease, Raynaud disease, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, diabetic neuropathy, spinal canal stenosis, cerebrovascular accidents, cerebral infarction, pulmonary hypertension, bone fracture, Alzheimer disease, etc.) and various cell and organ diseases.

Abstract: This present invention provides a percutaneous absorption type pharmaceutical preparation which includes 4-(2-methyl-1-imidazolyl)-2,2-diphenylbutylamide as the active ingredient and a backbone for transdermal system, and satisfies at least one of the following conditions (1) and (2). The pharmaceutical preparation of the present invention enables absorption of 4-(2-methyl-1-imidazolyl)-2,2-diphenylbutylamide, which has a low ability to be absorbed from the skin, from the skin into the body continuously and efficiently. (1) The active ingredient content in one preparation or one time administration preparation is from about 0.1 mg to about 10 mg, (2) the size is from about 1 cm2 to about 300 cm2.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a microsphere which has a slow-release period of from about two weeks to about four weeks following administration, enables a higher content of a drug to be included, suppresses an initial burst of the drug, and enables the drug to be maintained at an optimal, effective blood concentration during the slow-release period. In a microsphere containing a drug and PLGA, the above problems can be resolved by setting: (1) the amount of lactic acid/glycolic acid copolymer per part by weight of the drug to from about 3 to about 10 parts by weight; (2) the microsphere to an average particle size of from about 20 to about 50 ?m; and (3) the lactic acid/glycolic acid copolymer to a weight-average molecular weight of from about 10,000 to about 50,000 and to a lactic acid/glycolic acid compositional ratio of from about 75/25 to about 50/50.
