A method for objectively predicting possibility of metastasis to a cervical lymph node in an early stage for an individual case diagnosed as an oral cavity cancer, and a diagnosis kit to be used in the prediction are provided. The method includes a step of assaying expression amounts of metastasis prediction genes in which the expression amounts are changed between a metastasis group and a non-metastasis group, with respect to a sample collected from a primary legion of the oral cavity cancer. Further, the method includes a step of predicting the possibility of the metastasis by comparing the expression amounts of the metastasis gene group with the expression amounts of the metastasis prediction genes in a metastasis group and/or a non-metastasis group. Herein, the metastasis prediction gene group includes two genes MSR1 (NM_138716.1) and RET (M31213.1).

Method of predicting metastasis of oral cavity cancer into cervical lymph node and diagnosis kit to be used in the prediction

A terminal apparatus transmits a schedule transmission request involving a time of day given by an internal clock to a schedule transmitting apparatus, when a screen saver enters an operating condition. The schedule transmitting apparatus extracts the time of day involved in the schedule transmission request, selects a schedule the display start time of which is close to the extracted time of day, and then transmits the selected schedule to the terminal apparatus. The terminal apparatus extracts an address from the schedule and transmits a display information transmission request to a display information transmitting apparatus with reference to the extracted address. The display information transmitting apparatus transmits display information data in response to the display information transmission request. The terminal apparatus extracts display information from the display information data and then displays the extracted display information on a display.

Information distribution system for transmitting scheduled information on a terminal apparatus display when the user operation is not active on the terminal apparatus

A liquid detergent composition is disclosed, which has a pH value ranging from 6 to 8 and comprises the following Components (A), (B) and (C):

Liquid detergent composition based on N-acylamino acid potassium salt

A hair treatment comprising in dissolved form three essential components including at least one decomposition derivative of keratin, a cationic polymer, and at least one compound selected from organic and inorganic salts and urea having a solubility in water of over 1 g/100 g of water at 25.degree. C. The hair treatment within the scope of the invention covers various types of treatments such as hair setting lotion, hair styling lotion, cutting lotion, brushing lotion and the like.

An optical write head for an electrostatic dot-matrix image printing system which includes a plurality of controlled light emission element row-arrays positioned parallel and spaced in the direction perpendicular to the row-wise direction a distance equal to an integer multiple of the desired dot image-pitch S measured in the perpendicular direction, corrected by the fraction S/N where N is the number of row-arrays. A timed electrode drive circuit activates the arrays sequentially, and grid mask elements extending transversely across the row-arrays control emission from the individual light emission elements in an activated array, to minimize the number of drive circuit switching elements. A series-to-parallel signal conversion and storage circuit preprocesses the recording signal of the image to be printed.

Optical write head
