  • Method for quantifying drug delivery using contrast-enhanced ultrasound
    Patent number: 9144414
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for quantifying drug delivery with the characteristic of measuring the signal intensity of peripheral vessels with a contrast-enhanced ultrasound to quantify the drug delivery at a target site. The present invention can be used for quantifying UTMD (ultrasound triggered microbubble destruction) targeted drug delivery, also for qualifying the unreleased amount of the long-acting drug in the tested object, and for helping setting the treatment schedule for ultrasound disruption of blood-brain barrier.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 2, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 29, 2015
    Assignee: Taipei City Hospital
    Inventors: Shuo-Hui Hung, Ran-Chou Chen, Tung-Hu Tsai

  • Medium and device for proliferation of stem cells and treatment of cancer-related stem cell with resveratrol
    Patent number: 8183297
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for selecting stem cells with a serum free medium for amplification of stem cells. The invention also relates to a method of treating or preventing diseases caused by cancer-related stem cells. The invention further provides a method of enhancing radiosensitivity of cancer-related stem cells comprising radiotherapy with resveratrol, and the cancer-related stem cell has stronger drug resistance. The present invention further provides that resveratrol promotes differentiation and inhibits teratoma/tumor formation in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) and embryonic stem cells.
