    摘要: Methods are disclosed for predicting the efficacy of a drug for treating an inflammatory disease in a human patient, including: obtaining a sample of cells from the patient; obtaining a gene expression profile of the sample in the absence and presence of in vitro modulation of the cells with specific cytokines and/or mediators; and comparing the gene expression profile of the sample with a reference gene expression profile, wherein similarities between the sample expression profile and the reference expression profile predicts the efficacy of the drug for treating the inflammatory disease in the patient.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method for desalting nucleic acid samples. The method involves contacting a liquid sample comprising a nucleic acid and an ionic salt with an ion exchanger comprising an insoluble phosphate salt, removing said liquid, and eluting said nucleic acid from the ion exchanger. The desalted nucleic acids provided by the methods of the invention are suitable for a wide variety of analytic and diagnostic applications, including high-throughput assays.

    摘要: A user-interactive computer program provides drug advice. Drugs are grouped according to their clinical and chemical characteristics in a supporting data base. For each drug, a drug database contains detailed information on pharmacokinetics, pharmaco-dynamics and drug-specific details. In response to user interaction with areas displayed on the screen, the computer program obtains pertinent drug interaction information from the database. With the obtained information, the computer program supports display of graphical screen views. Contents of the screen views include symbols for indicating respective drugs, geometrically distinguishing lines for indicating interaction between drugs, and text descriptions of drug information. Further included in the screen views are respective symbols for indicating drug warnings for pregnant or lactating women and sportspersons. Color coding may also be employed in the screen views to indicate degree of effect or warning.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the usage pattern, commonly found in many software applications, of defining sets of objects based on object attributes. A specifically designed set definition language for defining sets, called SDL, is described and a software system that implements this language efficiently on top of a standard relational database management system (RDBMS) is presented. The unique features of the SDL language are the implicit constraints that are enforced on the relational data that belong to the objects. Unique to the SDL system is also the logical metadata of dimensions that enables the SDL system to enforce these constraints across relations. The SDL system utilizes several optimization techniques to enable efficient implementation on top of RDBMS. It is also shown how the SDL language and the SQL language can be merged with bidirectional inlining using syntactic gates. Query composition tools are also described that facilitate the creation of SDL expressions.
