    Abstract: A method of constructing a data architecture for use in identifying connections between perturbagens and genes associated with a type of periorbital dyschromia. The method includes providing a gene expression profile for a keratinocyte, fibroblast, melanocyte or melanoma cell, which has been exposed to at least one perturbagen, and comparing the gene expression profile to a control cell from the same cell line. Genes that are differentially expressed in response to the perturbagen are identified by comparing the gene expression profiles of the control cell and the test cell. An ordered list of identifiers representing the differentially expressed genes is created according to the differential expression of the genes. The ordered list is stored as an instance on a computer readable medium. The steps are then repeated to construct a data architecture of stored instances.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved method for preparing a medicament comprising a Taraxacum plant root extract for the treatment or prevention of a cancer. In one aspect, the method comprises freezing Taraxacum plant root to obtain a frozen root stock, said freezing step being selected to effect at least partial disruption of one or more root cells; dry grinding the frozen root stock to obtain a ground root powder, wherein during said dry grinding step the frozen root stock is maintained at a grinding temperature below about 40° C.; steeping the ground root powder with a solvent to obtain a suspension having a liquid extract portion and a solid particle portion; and separating the liquid extract portion from the solid particle portion to provide a separated liquid extract for use in the medicament.

  • Publication number: 20140348873
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for urea silicone gels for treating hyperkeratotic skin diseases that may benefit from barrier protection and from urea silicone gel's ability to return water balance to the skin are disclosed. Skin conditions that may be treated with urea silicone gels may be excessive dryness, callus, corns, old and new scars, and keloids, among others. Disclosed urea silicone gels may include micronized urea USP, and an anhydrous silicone base, among other ingredients. Anhydrous silicone base may include Amazonian oils such as pracaxi oil and seje oil, which are rich in oleic, linolenic, linoleic acids, and sterols, particularly beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol, which may increase skin permeability to urea. Additionally, because of the high content of unsaturated fatty acids of pracaxi oil and seje oil, disclosed urea silicone gel may exhibit an enhanced hydrating effect on skin cells, over-moisturizing and hydrating tough, thick hyperkeratotic conditions.

  • Patent number: RE46788
    Abstract: The present invention relates to bioactive ingredients that include isolated bioactive fractions derived from cell juice of fresh biomass of a feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) plant. The bioactive fractions are either free of or substantially free of ?-unsaturated ?-lactones (e.g., parthenolide). Further, the bioactive fractions have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. The present invention also relates to a method for isolating a bioactive fraction that is derived from cell juice of fresh biomass of a feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) plant and that is at least substantially free of ?-unsaturated ?-lactones (e.g., parthenolide). The present invention also relates to a method for preparing a stabilized cell juice serum fraction and a stabilized concentrated cell juice serum fraction that are free of ?-unsaturated ?-lactones (e.g., parthenolide).
