Triplet regimen as a novel modality for advanced unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma: A case report and review of literature.

Background: Portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) is a common complication, accounting for 44%-62.2% of Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and often indicates the poor prognosis. There is no global consensus for the treatment of unresectable HCC with PVTT.

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of Lobar Bronchial Origin: 20-Year Experience at a Single Institution.

Background: Pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare type of lung malignancy. The prevalence of ACC of lobar bronchial origin is lower than that of other lung malignancies, and studies investigating it are lacking. This study aimed to evaluate survival of patients with ACC of the lobar bronchus after surgical resection and to explore its prognostic factors.

Sustainable Development of African Countries: Minding Public Life, Education, and Welfare.

Sustainable development (SD) has increasingly played a key background role in government policymaking across the world, especially for the least developed countries in Africa. Therefore, the purpose of our research is to study the SD of African countries in public life, education, and welfare, and then to help policy makers better monitor the status of sustainable development and formulate development policies in these aspects. We firstly propose a new method to assess the SD in public life, education, and welfare.

Identification of the Facial Features of Patients With Cancer: A Deep Learning-Based Pilot Study.

Background: Cancer has become the second leading cause of death globally. Most cancer cases are due to genetic mutations, which affect metabolism and result in facial changes.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to identify the facial features of patients with cancer using the deep learning technique.

Orthogonal wavelet multiresolution analysis of the turbulent boundary layer measured with two-dimensional time-resolved particle image velocimetry.

The turbulent boundary layer flow measured by two-dimensional time-resolved particle image velocimetry is analyzed using the discrete orthogonal wavelet method. The Reynolds number of the turbulent boundary layer based on the friction velocity is Re_{τ}=235. The flow field is decomposed into a number of wavelet levels which have different characteristic scales.

[Ultrastructural observation on nymphal Armillifer sp. by scanning electron microscopy and phylogenetic analysis based on 18S rRNA].

Objective: To observe the ultrastructure of nymphal Armillifer sp. isolated from Macaca fascicularis by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), and analyze the phylogenetic relationships based on 18S rRNA gene sequences.

Methods: The parasite samples stored in 70% alcohol were fixed by glutaraldehyde and osmium peroxide.

Molecular phylogenetic studies on Theileria spp. isolates (China) based on small subunit ribosomal RNA gene sequences.

Six Theileria spp. from cattle, buffalo and black goat were identified in the Hubei province of China. In order to study the taxonomic status of these parasites, phylogenetic analysis of 18S rRNA genes were carried out.

[Expression and purification of recombinant hypodermin C in Pichia pastoris].

Hypodermin C (HC) cDNA was amplified from recombinant pGEM - T/HC, cloned in frame with the signal sequence in yeast vector pPIC9k. The plasmid was linerarized and transformed into Pichia pastoris GS115 strain by electroporation method. Recombinant strain was screened by G418 resistant, and further confirmed by PCR.

Wide geographic distribution of Cryptosporidium bovis and the deer-like genotype in bovines.

Recent studies in the United States reported that approximately 85% of pre-weaned dairy calves were infected with zoonotic Cryptosporidium parvum, whereas only 1-2% of post-weaned calves and 1-2-year-old heifers were infected with this species. Cryptosporidium bovis and Cryptosporidium deer-like genotype were much more prevalent in the post-weaned animals. It is not clear whether the same infection pattern also occurs in other geographic areas.
