    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.

  • Patent number: 8999368
    Abstract: The implant design is a drug loaded polymer device, such as a rod, designed to control the release of a biologically active agent, such as clonidine or its derivatives, such as clonidine HCl for a prolonged period of time, such as 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, and even 4.5 months. The polymer is preferably a biodegradable polymer, such as poly(lactide-co-glycolide) or polylactic acid/polylactide. The challenge in using the HCl salt forms of drugs such as clonidine, is controlling the release of the highly water soluble drug for up to 4.5 months. It has been found that by controlling the particle size distribution of the drug powder, the drug distribution within the polymer matrix is more uniform and can be controlled. Therefore, the large aggregates, which cause rapid drug release can be eliminated.
