A method for producing a liquid reaction mixture containing a radioisotope, in particular, a radioactive composition, minimizes device contamination with radioactive substances and increase speed and accuracy with which droplets are mixed. The method for producing a radioactive composition includes placing at least one first droplet Lcontaining a radionuclide and at least one second droplet Lcontaining a labeling substance on at least two respective dimplesamong dimpleson a front surfaceof an insulating layerof a liquid manipulation device, and obtaining a liquid mixture M by using a change in electrostatic force caused by changing voltage applied to the electrodesto thereby cause a relative movement between the at least one first droplet Land the at least one second droplet Lso that the at least one first droplet Land the at least one second droplet Lare mixed together at any one dimple among the dimples

Method for producing radioactive composition

Provided is a radioactive labeled compound capable of detecting a secondary mutation of an epidermal growth factor receptor, where the compound is represented by Formula (1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, where R, R, and Y are as defined. 

Nuclear medicine diagnostic imaging agent

Provided is a medicament comprising the compound represented by the following general formula (1) or a salt thereof: In the formula, R, R, R, R, R, X, X, and Xare defined. Methods for producing various radioactive compounds are also provided.

2-(3-pyridinyl)-1H-benzimidazole derivative compound and medicament containing same

Provided is a compound represented by general formula (1) or a salt thereof as well as a medicine containing the compound or the salt. In the formula, R, R, R, R, R, X, X, and Xare defined.

2-(3-pyridinyl)-1H-benzimidazole derivative compound and medicine containing same

Provided is a radioactive labeled compound capable of detecting a secondary mutation of an epidermal growth factor receptor, where the compound is represented by Formula (1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, where Y, L, Rand Rare as defined. 

A peptide that can be used as an imaging probe for GLP-1R is provided. In an embodiment, a polypeptide is represented by the following formula (3); 

Polypeptide and imaging method

Example systems and methods relate to playing a multi-player video game in which multiple players each supply inputs to a respective input device to control a corresponding game character in a game world displayed on a display screen. Movements of each game character in the game world are controlled in accordance with respective first game character control operations during the playing of the multi-player video game. In response to satisfaction of one or more conditions, one player's game character is protected from harm in the game world, wherein one of the one or more conditions is a condition triggered voluntarily by the one player. Movements of the protected game character in the game world are controlled based on a position of another, unprotected game character.

Video game systems and methods

A main player operates a controller while viewing a monitor game image displayed on a monitor. A sub player operates a terminal device while viewing a terminal game image displayed on an LCD of the terminal device. A game image that is substantially identical to the monitor game image viewed by the main player is displayed on the LCD. By touching a touch panel provided on a screen of the LCD of the terminal device, the sub player can generate various events at a position in a game world corresponding to a touched position.

An object of the invention is to provide an equol-containing fermented soybean hypocotyl material that is useful for foods, pharmaceutical preparations, cosmetic products, etc. The equol-containing fermented soybean hypocotyl material of the invention is obtained by fermenting soybean hypocotyls using at least one microorganism having an equol-producing ability by utilizing at least one daidzein compound selected from the group consisting of diadzein glycosides, daidzein, and dihydrodaidzein.

Equol-containing fermentation product of soybean embryonic axis, and method for production thereof

A new peptide derivative is provided. The peptide derivative is represented by the following general formula (I), where polypeptide ExP is polypeptide that contains completely or partially the amino acid sequence of exendin-4, and a -L-Z group represents a group represented by the following formula (II) that is bonded to an amino acid side chain of or the &#x3b1;-amino group at the N-terminus of the polypeptide ExP, 

Peptide derivative and use of the same

Example systems and methods relate to a multi-player video game in which multiple players each supply inputs to a respective input device to control a corresponding game character in a game world displayed on a display screen. Movements of each game character in the game world are controlled in accordance with respective first game character control operations during the playing of the multi-player video game. In response to satisfaction of any one of a first condition and a second condition, one player's game character is protected from harm in the game world, wherein a position at which the protected game character appears when the first condition is satisfied is different than that when the second condition is satisfied. Movements of the protected game character are controlled in the game world and the protecting of the one player's game character is stopped in response to any one of one or more protecting stopping conditions, whereby the movements of the one player's game character in the game world are controllable in accordance with the first game character control operation for that game character.

Example systems and methods relate to a video game in which multiple players each supply inputs to a respective input device to control a corresponding game character in a game world. Movements and actions of each game character are controlled in accordance with a first game character control operation during the playing of the video game. If a condition is voluntarily satisfied by one of the players, the one player's game character is protected from harm in the game world. Movements and actions of the protected game character are controlled in accordance with a second game character control operation. The protecting of the one player's game character is stopped in response to one or more protecting stopping conditions, whereby the game character is again controllable in accordance with the first game character control operation.

Example systems and methods relate to a multi-player video game in which multiple players each supply inputs to a respective input device to control a corresponding game character in a game world. Movements of each game character in the game world are controlled in accordance with respective first game character control operations during the playing of the multi-player video game. In response to satisfaction of any one of a plurality of conditions, protecting one player's game character from harm in the game world, wherein at least one of the plurality of conditions is a condition triggered voluntarily by the one player. Movements of the protected game character in the game world are controlled in accordance with a second game character control operation which is different than the first game character control operation for that game character.
