An object of the present invention is to provide a plasticizer for vinyl chloride-based resin superior in cold resistance and volatility resistance, and desirable in flexibility, fogging resistance, heat discoloration resistance, and weather resistance, and to also provide a vinyl chloride-based resin composition comprising the plasticizer. An ester obtained by reacting a specific carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof with a Csaturated aliphatic alcohol at a specific proportion is superior in cold resistance and volatility resistance, and desirable in flexibility, fogging resistance, heat discoloration resistance, and weather resistance. Therefore, if becomes possible to obtain a vinyl chloride-based resin composition applicable to automobile parts, medical materials, or the like, as well as a molded article of the vinyl chloride-based resin composition.

A novel method that enables prostate cancer testing that is noninvasive and more accurate than conventional methods is disclosed. The present inventors intensively analyzed urine samples from prostate cancer patients, and non-cancer subjects, who are free of prostate cancer, and, as a result, newly discovered urinary peptides that can be used as indicators in prostate cancer testing. Use of these urinary peptides as indicators enables various prostate cancer-related tests including detection of prostate cancer, discrimination between prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia, monitoring of a therapeutic effect of prostate cancer therapy and monitoring of postoperative recurrence.

A dispensing device includes: a syringe including a nozzle; a first pump configured to generate a pressure to discharge a liquid in the syringe through the nozzle; and a control unit configured to, when discharging the liquid in the syringe, discharge a part of the liquid in the syringe with the pressure generated by the first pump and then cause the liquid in the syringe to run out under its own weight.

Dispensing device and dispensing system

A dispensing device includes: a syringe; a first pump; a second pump; a first flowmeter; and a first control unit configured to correct a plurality of initial driving voltages for the first pump by calculating a first ratio of, with respect to a driving voltage for the first pump associated in advance with a target flow rate in a case where the syringe draws in a first fluid as the fluid, a driving voltage for the first pump when the first flowmeter measures a flow rate corresponding to the target flow rate in a case where the syringe draws in the first fluid, and multiplying, by the first ratio, the plurality of initial driving voltages for the first pump respectively associated in advance with a plurality of target flow rates in a case where the syringe draws in a second fluid as the fluid.
