A comprehensive search for pancreatic cancer biomarkers revealed that REEP5 is a marker specific to pancreatic cancer. It was also clear that pancreatic cancer can be detected with favorable sensitivity by REEP5 even by the ELISA commonly used in clinical settings. Moreover, pancreatic cancer can be detected with greater sensitivity by measuring fucosylated REEP5 and the ratio of fucosylated REEP5/REEP5. Analysis of fucosylated REEP5 and the ratio of fucosylated REEP5/REEP5 at the different stages of pancreatic cancer showed a tendency toward higher expression during early pancreatic cancer, and therefore the present invention provides an effective marker for early detection of pancreatic cancer, for which there was not an effective marker until now.

The present invention is a gene (RNA or DNA) that serves as a basis for classification of the type or subtype of a pathogen such as a virus, bacterium, or parasite, wherein all genes that belong to a type or subtype are divided into several small groups on the basis of the similarity of the base sequence, and the primers are designed so that the genes belonging to each small group can be detected by the smallest number of primers possible. The present invention is also a method for determining the type or subtype of a pathogen such as a virus, bacterium, or parasite that is the detection target by using primers prepared as described above.

The present invention addresses the problem of newly finding a compound that has no effect other than an effect of increasing cavernous pressure, different from conventional medicinal compositions for treating or ameliorating erectile dysfunction. The present inventors examined various substances derived from natural products with respect to the presence or absence of a male function-improving effect. As a result, they found that the administration of helipyrone A (3,3'-methylenebis(6-ethyl-4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one)), which is a component derived from curry plant belonging to the genus Helichrysum of the family Asteraceae, enhances an cavernous nerve stimulation-induced cavernous pressure increasing effect in the corpus cavernosum of the penis, and thus completed the present invention.

Provided are a method for detecting inflammatory bowel disease and a method for testing human salivary flora, whereby it is possible to conduct an accurate pathological evaluation with a simple test. The base sequences of 16S ribosomal RNA genes from flora in a saliva sample taken from a test subject are determined at random to obtain a base sequence data set, and salivary analytes associated with inflammatory bowel disease are detected on the basis of the obtained base sequence data set. In such cases, it is preferable to use indices such as: the number of bacterial strains constituting the salivary flora, determined on the basis of the data set; the number of cluster groups based on the similarity between the base sequences included in the data set; the similarity distance between the group and a group of healthy subjects, determined on the basis of the data set; and the abundance of bacteria belonging to specific phyla, genera and species among the salivary flora, determined on the basis of the data set.

Conventional highly sensitive protein quantification methods using a spectrometer had the issue of sample loss and non-fragmentation rates during the process of fragmentation of the target protein not being corrected by internal standard peptide fragments. In addition, identification and/or quantification of posttranslational modification etc., of proteins using a spectrometer was extremely difficult. The present invention addresses the problem of developing a method for high-precision quantification of proteins using a spectrometer and identification and/or quantification of posttranslational modifications or genetic mutations in proteins. The present inventors found that a plurality of target protein-derived peptide fragments can be detected at one time using the spectrometer and proteins can be quantified with high sensitivity and high precision, by using a stable isotope-labeled, internal standard protein. The present inventors also found that the posttranslational modifications and genetic mutations of each peptide fragment could be identified and/or quantified using the average quantification value for the detected target protein-derived peptide fragments.
