The present invention relates to a solid composition useful for tissue gluing, tissue sealing and hemostasis consisting essentially of a) a carrier which has at least one of the following physical properties: elasticity module in the range of 5-100 N / cm, density of 1-10 mg / cm3, chamber diameter of more than 0.75 mm and less than 4 mm and / or having a chamber diameter average below 3 mm and evenly distributed and fixed upon said carrier, b) solid fibrinogen, and c) solid thrombin.The carrier is a biodegradable polymer such as a polyhyaluronic acid, polyhydroxy acid, e.g. lactic acid, glucolic acid, hydroxybutanoic acid, a cellulose, gelatine or collagen, such as a collagen sponge, e.g. a collagen sponge consisting essentially of collagen type I fibers. The fibrinogen and thrombin are preferably human, purified from a natural source, or transgenic or recombinant human fibrinogen and / or thrombin. In a preferred embodiment the composition does not comprise any antifibronolytic agent such as aprotinin, ε-aminocaproic acid or α2-antiplasmin,

Using the protein chip technology, biological samples such as sera are subjected to proteome analysis. Thus, a protein which is a human fibrinogen α-E chain decomposition product and has a molecular weight of 5,900, a protein which is an apolipoprotein AII decomposition product and has a molecular weight of 7,800, and a protein which is an apolipoprotein AI decomposition product and has a molecular weight of 28,000, each showing an increase or a decrease with the habit of drinking, are newly found out. By detecting or quantifying these proteins, a liver disease in a subject such as one having a problem of drinking can be diagnosed at the early stage.
