We performed a multicentre randomised trial to compare the efficacy and toxicity of 12 weeks of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) delivered by protracted intravenous infusion (PVI 5-FU) against the standard bolus regimen of 5-FU and folinic...
Osmanthus fragrans (scientific name: Osmanthus fragrans (Thunb.) Lour.) is a species of the Osmanthus genus in the family Oleaceae, and it has a long history of cultivation in China. O. fragrans is edible and is well known for...
The major molecular mode of action of the cytotoxic drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is generally considered to result from thymidylate synthase inhibition. Recent findings relating to the function of the human uracil-5...
The optimal follow-up (FU) strategy for patients treated for localised renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains unclear. Using the RECUR database, we studied imaging intensity utilised in contemporary FU to evaluate its association...
BACKGROUND: The risk of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is significantly increased in organ transplant recipients (OTRs). Clearance of actinic keratoses (AKs) is generally regarded as a surrogate biomarker for cSCC...

Using a corpus approach, this article investigates the translation styles of the first chapter of Fu Sheng Liu Ji at three levels: the statistical parameters, the translation of culture-specific lexis, and readability...
BACKGROUND: Today it is possible to profile the transcriptome of individual cells, and a key step in the analysis of these datasets is unsupervised clustering. For very large datasets, efficient algorithms are required to ensure...

We reconsider whether a grand multi-winner contest elicits more equilibrium effort than a collection of sub-contests. Fu and Lu (2009) employ a sequential winner-selection mechanism and find support for running a grand contest....
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of structures in the brain's reward system is a promising therapeutic option for patients with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Recently, DBS of the habenula (HB) in the brain's anti-reward...
Widely used traditional thermosets are good candidates for construction of 3D soft actuators because of their excellent stability; however, it is generally acknowledged that they cannot be reprocessed. The time-temperature...
Capecitabine (CAP) is a 5-FU pro-drug approved for the treatment of several cancers and it is used in combination with gemcitabine (GEM) in the treatment of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, limited...
This paper proposes a novel approach for providing long-run marginal cost (LRMC) pricing in network charges. The proposed approach makes use of the unused capacity of an exiting network to reflect the cost of advancing or...

Two problem-solving experiments investigated the relationship between planning and the cost of accessing goal-state information using the theoretical framework of the soft constraints hypothesis (Gray Fu, 2004; Gray, Simms, Fu...
This paper proposes a new long-run network pricing model that can account for network users' preference for security of supply when assessing their impact on network development costs. The new model firstly classifies load at...
The shuttle effect and excessive volume change of the sulfur cathode severely impede the industrial implementation of Li-S batteries. It is still highly challenging to find an efficient way to suppress the shuttle effect and...
BACKGROUND: Optimal follow-up (FU) strategy to detect potentially curable (PC) recurrences after treatment of localised clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is unclear. This study retrospectively analysed a large...
The centriole is a conserved organelle in most animal cells. It is built with numerous proteins including a 9-fold symmetrical microtubule wall. Centrioles usually exist in pairs and constitute the core of the centrosome, the...
IntroductionPrediction of response to treatment in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may assist in the selection of personalized...
