Abstract: It is intended to provide a method of efficiently inducing the growth of nerve stem cells, which are most important in transplantation therapy for nerve damage and neurological dysfunction, either in vitro or in vivo, a method of using the nerve stem cells obtained by the above growth induction method, etc. A mammalian nerve tissue containing nerve stem cells is separated and the nerve stem cells are selectively cultured in a medium containing growth factors such as EGF and FGF. Next, the nerve stem cells are co-cultured with dendritic cell such as an immature dendritic cell subset having a CD11c surface marker on the cell surface, spleen cells or blood cell-type cells such as CD8-positive T cells. Alternatively, the nerve stem cells after the culture are further cultured in the presence of GM-CSF or the nerve stem cells after the culture are further cultured in a culture supernatant of dendritic cells or a culture supernatant of blood cell-type cells.

Abstract: An operation member is moved from a first position to a third position via a second position. When the operation member is rotated from the second position to the third position, a plate portion integrally formed with the operation member pushes and rotates a changeover ring to rotate a stop changing plate and a shutter-speed changing plate. When the operation member is kept in the second position, the plate portion is not interlocked with the changeover ring. Thus, a stop and a shutter speed are not carelessly changed if the operation member is slightly rotated by a finger. Since the stop changing plate starts to rotate at a near portion of a rotational end of the changeover ring, the stop is substantially maintained in a smaller-stop state or in a larger-stop state even if the operation member stops on its way.

Abstract: A lens-fitted photo film unit includes a flash unit for applying flash light to a photographic object. An exposure amount changer, such as an aperture stop changing mechanism, changes over object light incident on photo film from the object between low and high exposure amounts. For the lens-fitted photo film unit, a photographic mode selection device includes a movable selector, such as a button, for selectively designating a daylight mode, a daylight flash mode and a night flash mode. The movable selector, when the daylight mode is designated, determines the low exposure amount and turns off the flash unit, and when the daylight flash mode is designated, determines the low exposure amount and turns on the flash unit, and when the night flash mode is designated, determines the high exposure amount and turns on the flash unit.
