Rectal MR is the key diagnostic exam at initial presentation for rectal cancer patients. It is the primary determinant in establishing clinical stage for the patient and greatly impacts the clinical decision-m...
Article
Based on the first-principles evolutionary materials design, we report a stable boron Kagome lattice composed of triangles in triangles on a two-dimensional sheet. The Kagome lattice can be synthesized on a si...
Article
Despite considerable interest in two-dimensional (2D) topological insulators (TIs), a fundamental question still remains open how mesoscopic conductance fluctuations in 2D TIs are affected by spin-orbit intera...
Article
Monoclinic transition metal dichalcogenides offer the possibility of topological quantum devices, but they are difficult to realize. One route may be through switching from the common hexagonal phase, for whic...
Article
Metastasis is the predominant cause of death in breast cancer patients. Several lines of evidence have shown that microRNAs (miRs) can have an important role in cancer metastasis. Using isogenic pairs of low a...
Article
Gain of function of membrane receptor was a good strategy exploited by cancer cells to benefit own growth and survival. Overexpression of HER2 has been found to serve as a target for develo** trastuzumab to ...
Article
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in tumorigenecity by regulating specific oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, and their roles in breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) are becoming apparent. Distinct from the CD44+/CD...
Article
As the epidemiological pattern of breast cancer in modernising Asian countries differs greatly from that in Western countries, it is worthwhile to investigate the long-term prognoses of unilateral and bilatera...
Article
Undoped zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited on Si (100) substrates by atmospheric pressure metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (AP-MOCVD). After a nucleation layer of ZnO about 500 Å was deposited, ...
Article
Metaplastic carcinoma of the breast (MCB) is a poorly understood subtype of breast cancer. It is generally characterized by the coexistence of ductal carcinomatous and transdifferentiated sarcomatous component...
Article
We investigate the magnetic properties of Mn-doped GaN through first-principles pseudopotential calculations within the spin-density-functional approximation. We examine the nature of magnetic interactions bet...

Chapter
Since endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was introduced more than 15 years ago, this modality has become established as a highly accurate means of staging gastrointestinal and pancreatic malignancies. Recent technolo...
Article
The incidence of breast cancer has been greatly increasing in Taiwan over the past two decades. Since cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1) is involved in the metabolism of environmental carcinogens or oestrogen, we hyp...
Chapter and Conference Paper
H. pylori is a bacterium which colonizes the gastric mucosa. In 1896, Salomon described spiral organisms in stomachs of man and animals [1]. It was not until 1983, when Warren and Marshall f...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Das Bakterium H. pylori kolonisiert die Schleimhaut des Magens. Im Jahre 1896 beschrieb Salomon spiralförmige Mikroorganismen im Magen des Menschen und verschiedener Tierarten [1]. Aber erst seit 1983, als erstma...
Article
An optimality criteria method coupled with Kreisselmeier-Steinhauser (K-S) functions (see Kreisselmeier and Steinhauser 1979) has been evaluated, utilizing the cumulative nature ofK-S functions (i.e. single const...
Article
The total energies and structures of a number of Be-induced defects in Si are investigated using ab-initio local density calculations. Our primary results are: 1) The geometry of the isoelectronic center is found...
Article
Leukotriene B4 (LTB4), one of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) products of arachidonic acid, was reported to be more potent than leukotriene B5 (LTB5), one of 5-LO products of eicosapentaenoic acid, in the activation of neu...
