In this project, we extended a high-resolution image information system developed at the University of Tsukuba as part of the “Growing Stage” project, and intelligent recognition systems developed by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Theme 1: Analysis and evaluation of the human living body and develop Science and Technology (AIST) by incorporating the wide-area sensing systems developed by the National Agriculture and Food ment of advanced functional technology Research Organization (NARO). The objective was to encourage the implementation and commercialization of new, ubiquitous A possible “stress” gene was identified in the liver of a mouse under social Protein-X(ng/mL) Protein-X(ng/mL) visual-information surveillance systems to ensure safe and secure urban living. stress; its product was also found in persons with stressful occupations, such Control Social Low Middle High stress Depressive level Isolation stress for 30 days increased protein-X Increased plasma protein-X level indicated as nurses. Multiple proteins in human blood were also identified as potential level in mouse plasma. Mean±SE (n=10). increasing tendency of depressive symptoms 1.
