BACKGROUND: This study aims to assess if radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has any oncological superiority over transarterial chemoembolization(TACE) on post-hepatectomy recurrence.METHODS: From 2002 to 2011, 60.15% of 823 patients developed recurrence after hepatectomy for HCC. One hundred and two patients...

Attenuation of near-IR light through dentin at wavelengths from 1300-1650-nm.

J Clin Bioinforma. 2014 Dec 05;4(1):15. doi: 10.1186/s13336-014-0015-z. eCollection 2014.

BACKGROUND: AluScan combines inter-Alu PCR using multiple Alu-based primers with opposite orientations and next-generation sequencing to capture a huge number of Alu-proximal genomic sequences for investigation. Its requirement of only sub-microgram quantities of DNA facilitates the examination of large...

Recent decrease in typhoon destructive potential and global warming implications.

Nature communications

Lin II, Chan JC.
PMID: 25990561
Nat Commun. 2015 May 20;6:7182. doi: 10.1038/ncomms8182.

Typhoons (tropical cyclones) severely impact the half-billion population of the Asian Pacific. Intriguingly, during the recent decade, typhoon destructive potential (Power Dissipation Index, PDI) has decreased considerably (by ∼ 35%). This decrease, paradoxically, has occurred despite the increase in...
