Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of compounds which enhance the transcription of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) for treating stem and progenitor cells in the cell therapy of patients with ischemic heart diseases such as coronary heart disease or ischemic cardiomyopathy. Treatment of such cells which are isolated from bone marrow, for example, with an eNOS transcription enhancer prior to their administration improves their functional activity and ameliorates neovascularization of the heart and cardiac regeneration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for quantifying the composition of a product, with the following steps: irradiating the product with a radiation source in the near infrared range; receiving radiation which is reflected by or transmitted through the product, and providing an output signal corresponding to the intensity of the radiation received at a number of different wavelengths; determining whether or not the product lies within predetermined integrity criteria on the basis of the output signal using a mathematical method, wherein the product contains a solution or homogeneous dispersion, and the content of at least one substance contained in the dispersion or solution is quantitatively determined on the basis of the output signal. The present invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out this method.
