BACKGROUND Thrombosis is one of the most common complications in cancer patients, however the effect of thrombophilic polymorphisms on cancer specific survival is still unclear. OBJECTIVES The aims of the study were to analyze the effect of factor V Leiden (FVL), prothrombin (PT) G20210A, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T polymorphisms on disease-free survival (DFS) in bre...

BACKGROUND Aim was to explore the association of ERCC1 and TS mRNA levels with the disease free survival (DFS) in Chinese colorectal cancer (CRC) patients receiving oxaliplatin and 5-FU based adjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS Total 112 Chinese stage II-III CRC patients were respectively treated by four different chemotherapy regimens after curative operation. The TS and ERCC1 mRNA levels in prim...

In this paper we present a new web based Distributed File System server management tool to perform load balancing across multiple servers. The Distributed File System from Distributed Computing Environment (DCE DFS) is a collection of many file systems mounted onto a single virtual file system space with a single namespace. The tool is based on rule-based data mining techniques and graph analys...

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a crucial factor associated with development, progression and metastasis of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, its prognostic value remains unclear. Thus studies referring to the correlation between HGF and CRC patients' prognosis were included to explore the role of HGF in CRC. At last nine articles were included. The results showed that the over-expression of ...

Depth First Search (DFS) and position-based routing algorithms were proposed in literature. These are localised algorithms that guarantee the delivery for connected ad hoc and sensor wireless networks modelled by arbitrary graphs, including inaccurate location information for a destination node. This article first optimises an existing DFS-based routing scheme by eliminating from the candidate ...

Distributed Systems are useful for computation and storage of large scale data at dispersed location. Distributed File System (DFS) is a subsystem of Distributed System. DFS is a means of sharing of storage space and data. Servers, Storage devices and Clients are on dispersed location in DFS. Fault tolerance and Scalability are two main features of distributed file system. Performance of DFS is...

The effects of post-processing treatments on sensory quality and reduction of Shiga toxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) in three formulations of two types of dry-fermented sausage (DFS; salami and morr) were evaluated. Tested interventions provided only marginal changes in sensory preference and characteristics. Total STEC reductions in heat treated DFS (32°C, 6days or 43°C, 24h) were from 3.5 to...
