Long-Term Clinical Outcomes of Rectal Neuroendocrine Tumors According to the Pathologic Status After Initial Endoscopic Resection: A KASID Multicenter Study.

Objectives: With advances in diagnostic endoscopy, the detection of rectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) has increased. However, clinical outcomes, especially after endoscopic treatment, are still unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the long-term clinical outcomes of endoscopically resected rectal NETs according to the pathologic status after initial resection.

Thermo-electrical properties of composite semiconductor thin films composed of nanocrystalline graphene-vanadium oxides.

This paper presents an experimental comparative study involving the characterization of the thermo-electrical and structural properties of graphene-based vanadium oxide (graphene-VOx) composite thin films on insulating and conducting surfaces (i.e., fused quartz and acrylic resin-impregnated graphite) produced by a sol-gel process via dipping-pyrolysis.

The effect of a temperature-sensitive poloxamer-alginate-CaCl2 mixture after strabismus surgery in a rabbit model.

Purpose: To determine the efficacy of a temperature-sensitive poloxamer-alginate mixture in reducing adhesions after strabismus surgery in a rabbit model.

Methods: The superior rectus muscle was recessed in each of 36 eyes from 18 rabbits. One randomly assigned eye in each rabbit was treated with a poloxamer-alginate mixture (PA group); the other eye was treated with a subconjunctival injection of saline (control group).
