Abstract: A composition for treatment of tendonitis is provided. The composition comprises a pretreated adipose derived stem cell (ADSC), wherein the ADSC is pretreated with butylidenephthalide, and the concentration of butylidenephthalide is greater or equal to. The composition of the invention has abilities to repair damaged tendon fiber, enhance tissue regeneration, and decrease inflammation. The invention also provides a method for manufacturing a composition for treatment of tendonitis, comprising culturing an ADSC in a medium containing butylidenephthalide.

Abstract: A method of evaluating if a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patient is applicable to be treated with an immunotherapy based on dendritic cell tumor vaccines includes a sample obtaining step to obtain a sample from the GBM patient, a detecting step to detect an expression level of a biomarker, and a comparing step to compare the expression level of the biomarker to a threshold, wherein the GBM patient is applicable to treat with the immunotherapy based on dendritic cell tumor vaccines when the expression level of the biomarker is lower than the threshold. A method of prognosticating a survival rate in the GBM patient after a treatment includes a sample obtaining step, a detecting step, and a comparing step, wherein the GBM patient is determined to have a good prognosis after the treatment when the expression level of the sample from the GBM is lower than the threshold.

Abstract: A method of preparing the dendritic cell tumor vaccine includes steps as follows. A tumor specimen is primarily isolated and cultured to obtain a plurality of tumor cells. Cancer stem cells having a specific cell surface marker are sorted from the tumor cells. The cancer stem cells are irradiated with a radiation. A plurality of dendritic cells are provided. The dendritic cells and the cancer stem cells irradiated with the radiation are co-cultured for activating the dendritic cells into cancer-stem-cell-antigen-presenting dendritic cells to obtain the dendritic cell tumor vaccine. The dendritic cell tumor vaccine is a mixture of the cancer-stem-cell-antigen-presenting dendritic cells and the cancer stem cells.
