A method and composition for hyperthermally treating cells in the eye with simultaneous imaging. The heat (temperature) production inside the eye ( target) tissue is imaged. The desired temperature is achieved using a laser and photoacoustic imaging technique. Hyperthermia treatment of tissue in a target site applies a heat source to kill cells without protein denaturation. The method introduces an encapsulated dye that is released at a selected temperature in the target site to indicate that a threshold temperature has been reached to hyperthermally treat the tissue. In one embodiment, the composition releases the dye at a temperature of 42° C. to 50° C., and preferably about 45° C. to 49° C. The composition which can be a liposome composition encapsulating the dye can be introduced to the bloodstream of the patient to flow through the target site.

Combination treatment of the cyclosporine A and thermoexcitation on HeLa cells can significantly induce apoptosis of cancer cells and reduce the survival rate of the cancer cells, thereby achieving the effect of treating tumors, and important ideas are provided for clinical treatment of the tumors.

Disclosed is a medication therapy system for curing nephropathy in a rehabilitation mode through targeted guiding of Chinese herbal medicinal ingredients into a renal region. The system comprises a renal region Chinese herbal medicinal ingredient leading-in instrument, a thermal therapy belt and a drug administration device, the renal region Chinese herbal medicinal ingredient leading-in instrument comprises a controller which can generate an electronic biological wave so as to comprehensively treat human body diseased tissue, the controller can reset output intensity and magnetic thermal therapy temperature to zero automatically and in advance when the renal region Chinese herbal medicinal ingredient leading-in instrument is powered on and control treatment time, treatment mode, output intensity, output frequency, magnetic thermal therapy starting and stopping and magnetic thermal therapy temperature adjustment, when the treatment timing is finished, the instrument is automatically stopped, the thermal therapy belt holds the drug administration device and encircles on the waist of a patient, a drug guiding electrode plate of the thermal therapy belt is communicated with the renal region Chinese herbal medicinal ingredient leading-in instrument through a guide line, and the drug administration device contains the Chinese herbal medicine. By means of the medication therapy system for curing the nephropathy in the rehabilitation mode through targeted guiding of Chinese herbal medicinal ingredients into the renal region, suffering of the patient caused by oral drugs is avoided, the therapeutic effect is good, the treatment cost is low, and a safe, simple, convenient, rapid and painless treatment method is achieved.

The invention comprises a thermal therapy delivery device for the entire breast and surrounding lactating tissue, including the armpit area, adaptable for delivering thermal therapy to all impacted tissue with either hot or cold therapy. The device also delivers thermal therapy simultaneously to the areas within and surrounding armpit areas and lactation glands and ducts. Other areas treatable simultaneously include radial zones such as the nipple, areola, surrounding glands, lobules, ducts and connective tissue. To accomplish the thermal delivery objectives, the device main components are delineated in zones comprised of individual cells. Each zone treats a distinct anatomical area, and each zone-addressable component has a specific geometry required to effectively deliver thermal therapy to the entire anatomy of the breast.

The invention discloses application of a stone needle in production of health thermo-therapeutic products and a thermo-therapeutic patch. The thermo-therapeutic patch comprises a self-heating component and the stone needle; the stone needle accounts for 5% to 40% of weight of the self-heating component. When the thermos-therapeutic patch releases heat, the temperature peaks in a short time and lasts long; the peak temperature is 50 DEG C to 60 DEG C; therapeutic and health effects are ensured, and scald of the human body caused by excess temperature is never caused; far-infrared 6 micrometers to 14 micrometers in wavelength can be produced during heat releasing, microcirculation can be promoted, and the patch has various health effects.

The invention relates to a magnet-therapy thermal-therapy massage assembly, and belongs to the technical field of the magnet-therapy thermal-therapy massage device structure. A magnet-therapy thermal-therapy assembly for massage is mounted in an assembly shell, and is characterized in that: a using surface of the assembly shell is a spherical convex massage head for massaging a body; the massage head is internally provided with respectively an infrared light source with an infrared therapeutic effect and a magnet with a magnetic therapeutic effect; and the infrared light source and the exterior of the magnet are respectively covered by a matching protective cover. The magnet-therapy thermal-therapy assembly for massage of the invention is reasonable in structure design and convenient and reliable in use, can be installed in any massage device so as to play the auxiliary massage effect, can also make the massage effect more obvious through the thermal therapy and magnet therapy in the massage process, and is highly practical.

A method for decreasing proliferation of cancer cells comprises the steps of administering a sensitizer. Sensitizers can include selenium, fish oil, and a combination of selenium and fish oil to a cancer cell. The method contemplates that the selenium and fish oil are administered in an amount effective to respectively increase the sensitivity of the cancer cells, and the administration of the combination of selenium and fish oil are administered in an amount effective to synergistically increase the sensitivity of the cancer cells more than the selenium or the fish oil alone. The method additionally exposes cancer cells to temperatures in excess of 37° C.

Precision in thermotherapy is obtained by providing a reverse gelling polymer composition which gels when its temperature is raised above body temperature. The composition is injected into the blood supply of the tissue being treated, at the beginning of thermotherapy. The temperature increase caused by the heating gels the composition, which temporarily blocks the flow of blood in the region being treated. This improves the predictability and stability of treatment. On cessation of heating, the composition liquefies, removing the temporary embolization. The use of local heating can also expedite removal of tumors and the like from soft organs, even when the heating itself has no therapeutic effect.
