The present disclosure provides method, apparatus and system for detecting contents expressing emotions from a video. The method may comprise: dividing the video into a plurality of clips; extracting, from a first clip and at least one second clip of the plurality of clips, features associated with the first clip; determining whether the first clip expresses emotions based on the features associated with the first clip; and building an index containing the first clip based on the features associated with the first clip if the first clip expresses emotions.

An injectable composition having dermal filling and tissue expanding activity comprises: (1) a quantity of elastin sufficient to bring about dermal filling and tissue expansion when injected into a subject in need of dermal filling and tissue expansion; and (2) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The composition can further comprise collagen; in other alternatives, the composition can further comprise hyaluronic acid; and one or more of the elastin, the collagen, and the hyaluronic acid, if present can be cross-linked, either intramolecularly or intermolecularly. The elastin, however, is the primary filler, even if collagen or hyaluronic acid are included in the composition.

The present invention discloses methods and compositions comprising a biocompatible gel that is used in tissue repair and regeneration. Once the gel is administered to a tissue site in need of repair or regeneration, the cells migrate from the gel into the tissue and repair or regenerate the tissue.

A composition for application to the skin can stimulate the in vivo synthesis of collagen and proteoglycans and improve the appearance of the skin, increasing its elasticity and fullness. In general, a composition according to the present invention comprises: (1) an antioxidant compound in a quantity sufficient to enhance collagen synthesis in the skin; (2) an organic penetrant in which the antioxidant compound is soluble in a sufficient quantity that a concentration of the antioxidant compound sufficient to enhance collagen synthesis can be applied topically and penetrate the skin; (3) a mixture of essential amino acids; (4) a supplemental source of sulfur; and (5) a topical pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The antioxidant compound can be lipoic acid, a lipoic acid analogue or derivative, a bioflavonoid, a constituent of ginkgo, or an isoflavone. The organic penetrant is preferably benzyl alcohol. Other ingredients, such as esters of tocopherol and ascorbic acid, can be included.
