20090114216 | System And Method For Improving Breathing Pattern With Interactive Multi-Sensory Approach - A system for improving a breathing pattern with an interactive multi-sensory approach is provided. The system includes a breathing condition detector and a processor, for guiding a user to learn a suitable breathing pattern. The breathing condition detector attached to the user, is adapted to detect a breathing condition according to a natural expansion or a natural shrinkage of a body of the user. The breathing condition at least includes a breathing mode (breast breathing or belly breathing), breathing rate, and breathing depth. The processor displays a relative breathing condition picture reflecting the detected breathing condition detected by the breathing condition detector on a monitor. As such, the user can understand the practical breathing condition by viewing the breathing condition picture, so as to be instructed to learn to use a breathing pattern suitable for him. | 05-07-2009 |
20100190845 | METHOD OF TREATING CANCER USING ATP SYNTHASE INHIBITORS - The present invention is directed to a method of treating cancer in a subject in need of such a treatment by administering an inhibitor of ATP synthase in a pharmaceutically effective amount, preferably, the inhibitor contains one pyrone ring. The present invention also provides for a pharmaceutical composition comprising an inhibitor of ATP synthase, preferably, the inhibitor is aurovertin B. | 07-29-2010 |
20100209519 | PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION FOR INHALATION DELIVERY AND FABRICATION METHOD THEREOF - A pharmaceutical composition for inhalation delivery is provided, including drugs and a gelatin nanoparticle encapsulating the drugs to form a drug-gelatin nanocomplex, wherein the surface of the gelatin nanoparticle is modified with cell-targeting molecules. A method for fabricating the pharmaceutical composition for inhalation delivery is also provided. | 08-19-2010 |
20100304419 | METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE PROGNOSIS OF GASTRIC CANCER - The 14-3-3β protein is used herein as a tumor marker for prognosis in gastric cancer. The method comprises steps of providing a biological sample, qualifying the 14-3-3β protein level in the sample, and comparing the 14-3-3β protein level in the sample with a normal sample. Upon the 14-3-3β protein level in the biological sample is higher than in the normal sample, which represents the patient providing the sample has a poor prognosis. Having the higher sensitivity and specificity, 14-3-3β protein can be used as a tumor marker for prognosis of gastric cancer. | 12-02-2010 |
20110181614 | QUANTIFICATION METHOD OF THE FEATURE OF A TUMOR AND AN IMAGING METHOD OF THE SAME - A quantification method and an imaging method are disclosed, capable of quantifying the margin feature, the cysts feature, the calcifications feature, the echoic feature and the heterogenesis feature of a tumor, and capable of imaging the margin feature, the cysts feature, the calcifications feature and the heterogenesis feature of a tumor. The quantification method and the imaging method calculate the moving variance of the gray scale of each of the pixel points based on the gradient value of the gray scale of these pixel points. Then, depending on the purpose of the quantification method or the imaging method, the maximum value, the minimum value, the mean value, and the standard deviation of the moving variance of the gray scale of these pixel points are calculated, respectively. At final, with the definition of the threshold value and the imaging rule, the above features of the tumor are quantified or imaged. | 07-28-2011 |
20110182489 | METHOD FOR RETRIEVING A TUMOR CONTOUR OF AN IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM - The present invention related to a method for retrieving a tumor contour of an image processing system that includes a memory storing a grayscale image and a processor, comprising: receiving an input tumor contour of the grayscale image; defining a tumor contour annular region and a plurality of reference segments of the grayscale image, wherein the input tumor contour is in the tumor contour annular region, and each of the plurality of reference segments is across the tumor contour annular region and includes a plurality of measured points; retrieving a tumor contour suggestion point on each of the plurality of reference segments; and linking all the tumor contour suggestion points on all of the reference segments, for forming the tumor contour. Accordingly, by applying the method of the present invention, a doctor can rapidly and accurately identify the contour of a tumor in a grayscale image. | 07-28-2011 |
20110182522 | METHOD FOR MULTI-LAYER CLASSIFIER - The present invention relates to a method for multi-layer classifier applying on a computer readable medium for classifying multiple image samples. The method at least comprising the following steps: (a) receiving a plurality of samples; (b) providing a plurality of attributes, and evaluating a significance of the attributes by a selection criterion; (c) selecting at least one cut-point to establish a discriminant analysis model; (d) proceeding a step of evaluating a performance of the discriminant analysis model by adding the attributes to the discriminant analysis model; and (e) providing a stop criterion. The present invention also provides a computer readable medium for classifying multiple image samples by using the method for multi-layer classifier. | 07-28-2011 |
