Abstract: An image creating apparatus capable of creating cell images allowing reliable determination of cell structures in a cell is provided. This image creating apparatus comprises an image pickup portion picking up a plurality of images of a cell on different focal positions and an image synthesizing portion classifying the plurality of images picked up by the image pickup portion into a plurality of depth ranges as to the focal direction and synthesizing the plurality of images belonging to the respective ones of the plurality of depth ranges every plurality of depth ranges thereby creating focus-synthesized images in focus over corresponding depth ranges every plurality of depth ranges.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for displaying a virtual slide capable of storing positional information of a prescribed cell in a virtual slide photographed with a magnification capable of recognizing cell morphology and a terminal device for displaying the virtual slide; or a method for displaying the virtual slide capable of classifying the prescribed cell in the virtual slide photographed with a magnification capable of recognizing cell morphology by a simple operation; or a terminal device for displaying the virtual slide.

Abstract: A data classification supporting method capable of easily discriminating a cell to which unknown data belongs and cells similar to the unknown data from each other is obtained. This classification compares cell vector data of each cell with the unknown data, decides a cell having cell vector data closest to the unknown data and cells having cell vector data secondly to nthly close to the unknown data as a minimum cell and similar cells respectively and displays a minimum cell mark and similar cell marks indicating the minimum cell and the similar cells respectively on a classification map.

Abstract: A method of displaying a smear image capable of reducing a time required for displaying the smear image on a user terminal is provided. This method of displaying a smear image comprises steps of acquiring a prescribed partial image necessary for display, included in a plurality of partial images obtained by dividing the smear image and stored in a first database of an image server, from the image server through a communication network and displaying the prescribed partial image and acquiring another partial image required for display due to display scrolling on the terminal from the image server through the communication network and displaying the partial image in response to the display scrolling.

Abstract: A thrombolytic drug containing cyproheptadine, a compound of the following formula or a salt thereof as the active ingredient is provided. This thrombolytic drug has a function of accelerating the release of a tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), while exerting no effect on the release of type-1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) which deactivates t-PA or reducing the release thereof. wherein n represents an integer of 2 or 3, Y represents a hydrogen atom or halogen atom, and X represents a formyl group, acetyl group or hydrogen atom.
