Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a cell culture substrate, which is suitable for the fabrication of an in vitro biological tissue model of a biological tissue having an air-liquid interface and which enables temporal and real-time observation under an optical microscope, and a method for manufacturing the same; and a biological tissue model fabricated by using the cell culture substrate and a method for fabricating the same. A cellulose derivative membrane that is light-permeable under a wet condition by an aqueous medium is made porous to thereby impart water absorption properties suitable for a culture substrate thereto. This porous cellulose derivative membrane is combined with polymer microfibers to give a transparent dual-layer substrate as a cell culture substrate. Further, cells are cultured at an air-liquid interface using the transparent dual-layer substrate to give an in vitro biological tissue model having characteristics similar to a biological tissue.

Abstract: A sealing and pump-up device capable of suppressing sealing agent contained in a sealing agent container body from leaking and preventing damage to a casing body even if an operator mistakenly attempts to remove the sealing agent container body. A connection body 70 is retained to a seal opening device 60 by fitting force between first claws 94A and a leg portion 36 and between second claws 96A and the leg portion 36. An operator might conceivably mistakenly attempt to remove a liquid agent container 18 from the seal opening device 60. However, the fixing force of the screw 128 in the circular hole 122 is determined by such factors as the shape of each member so as to be weaker than the sum of the fitting force (retaining force) between the first claws 94A and the leg portion 36 and the fitting force (retaining force) between the second claws 96A and the leg portion 36.

Abstract: When a press jig is inserted into a jig insertion hole, an O-ring attached to the outer peripheral surface of the press jig is prevented from being caught on an air supply port opening to the inner peripheral surface of the jig insertion hole and damaged. In a sealing pump-up device 10, the opening diameter of an air supply port 58 opening to the inner peripheral surface of a jig insertion hole 44 provided at one end of an air supply path 60 is set smaller than the strand diameters of an O-ring 72 and an O-ring 96. Consequently, the width at the edge of the air supply ports 58 on which the O-rings 72, 96 may possibly be caught can be made sufficiently smaller than the strand diameter of the O-rings 72, 96.
