A model of a body part, e.g., liver, of which the internal structure can be observed easily; and others. In a liver model according to the present invention, the liver parenchyma is formed in the form of a frame to make it possible to observe the portal, veins, a tumor and others in the inside of the frameeasily. In addition, the liver model can be handled easily by gripping a gripping part provided at the lower end surface of the inferior vena cava, and the tumor is integrated with the liver model by means of a joint part. The liver model can be manufactured from a model material using a 3D printer on the basis of three-dimensional shape data for model manufacturing purposes, which are produced using an information processing device.

Hyaluronic acid modified with sphingosine-1-phosphate, and a medicine comprising the hyaluronic acid as an active ingredient, wherein the medicine can alleviate hepatic disorder caused by hypoxia/reoxygenation by protecting the liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, and the medicine can prevent and/or treat liver failure due to liver transplantation, hepatectomy, or other surgeries associated with liver ischemia/reperfusion.

Hyaluronic acid modified by sphingosine-1-phosphoric acid

This invention provides a method for cancer diagnosis comprising measuring an endogenous antisense RNA whose relative expression to a sense RNA changes cancer-specifically in RNA-containing samples collected from a mammal. Also provided are endogenous antisense RNAs useful as cancer markers, and cancer diagnostic reagents containing the same.
