Disclosed herein is a method of identifying a plurality of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) that are therapeutic to a subject having an immune-related disease, for example, arthritis. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the MSCs exhibiting to the immune-related disease are characterized in having an immunosuppressive protein binding value (IPBv) greater than 170 toward indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) after being exposed to 50-800 U/ml of IFN-γ. Also disclosed herein are uses of the identified MSCs for the manufacture of a medicament, and methods of treating an immune-related disease by use of the identified MSCs or medicament.

Use of mesenchymal stem cells in treating immune-related diseases

A method and a device for analyzing data are provided. The method includes following steps. A plurality of queries for an event stored in a database are integrated to obtain a plurality of features. Each feature is limited at a searching condition. A plurality of items of searched data are obtained from the database according to respective searching condition of each feature. Whether a data volume of the searched data is higher or lower than a predetermined range is determined. If the data volume is higher than the predetermined range, the data volume of the searched data is reduced according to the features. If the data volume is lower than the predetermined range, the data volume of the searched data is increased according to the features. A correlation between the features and the event is analyzed according to the searched data.
