Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating rheumatoid arthritis, which comprises (a) a pharmaceutically effective amount of a semi-mature dendritic cell; and (b) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The semi-mature dendritic cell of this invention has a safe and remarkably improved potential to treat or prevent rheumatoid arthritis through the activity of the suppression of auto-immune responses.

Abstract: Disclosed are a portable device having an image overlay function and a method of overlaying images in the portable device, which can photograph a plurality of images within areas having no overlapping regions between the areas in real time, and can overlay the photographed images. A first camera unit photographs a first area, and a second camera unit photographs a second area which does not overlap with the first area. A first codec and a second codec encode a first area image and a second area image, respectively, which have been obtained by photographing the first area and the second area. An image processing unit overlays the encoded first area image and the encoded second area image. Therefore, it is possible to photograph a plurality of subjects existing in at least two areas having no overlapping regions between the two areas in real time, to overlay the photographed images, and to transmit the overlaid image to a portable device of a counterpart for video telephone communication.

Abstract: A method for preparing dendritic cells which have an enhanced potential to suppress immune responses, method for suppressing immune response by comprising administering them, dendritic cells carrying a potential to suppress immune responses, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the dendritic cells capable of inducing immunosuppressive responses. The present dendritic cells having an enhanced potential to suppress immune responses can be utilized for treating or preventing various diseases or disorders through the suppression of immune responses. In addition, the enhanced immunotolerance potential of the dendritic cells ensures the cells to be effectively used as an immunosuppressive agent.
