Objective: The objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of chemotherapy as postoperative adjuvant therapy for stage IB-IIB cervical cancer with intermediate-risk factors. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 119 cervical cancer patients with intermediate-risk factors treated with radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy from December 1997 to September 2010. The i...

Fmoc-3-nitrotyrosine (Fmoc-3-NT) molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were synthesized to understand the influence of several functional monomers on the efficiency of the molecular imprinting process. Acidic, neutral and basic functional monomers, such as acrylic acid (AA), methacrylic acid (MAA), methacrylamide (MAM), 2-vinylpyridine (2-VP), 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP), have been used to synthesiz...

On the biotransformation of phenol and monofluorophenols by the cultured cells of Eucalyptus perriniana, phenyl and fluorophenyl b-D-glucosides were isolated after a 1-h incubation. Especially, the yield of 2-fluorophenol is higher than those of the other substrates, i.e., phenol, 3and 4-fluorophenols. These results indicated that E. perriniana cells selectively glycosylate the hydroxyl group o...

We study warped compactifications to three dimensions, realized as an orientifold of type IIA string theory on T . By turning on 3and 4-form fluxes on the torus in a supersymmetric way, we generate a potential for the moduli fields. We present various flux configurations with N = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 supersymmetries and count the number of moduli in each case. In particular, we show that there are ...

Generation of 3and 4-dimensional graphics is discussed in the context of stellarator ballooning mode theory and the nonlinear dynamics of a 4-dimensional symplectic map (two coupled area-preserving maps). These provide case studies for informally reviewing the history of some commercially available visualization software for personal computers (Macintosh and Windows) developed by US small-to-me...

We report the results of a preclinical study comparing four different purging protocols using a promyelocytic human cell line HL-60 and myeloid leukemic progenitor cells (colony-forming unit-leukemic [CFU-L]) from acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) patients assayed in semisolid culture. We studied the antileukemic effect of (1) Single-cycle complement-mediated lysis by two different monoclonal an...

In this letter, we exploit generalised unitarity in order to calculate the cut-constructible part of one-loop amplitudes in non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. In particular, we rederive the n-gluon MHV amplitudes for both the adjacent and non-adjacent gluon helicity configurations from 3and 4-particle cuts alone. {a.brandhuber, m.vincon}@qmul.ac.uk

We use the correspondence between scalar field theory on AdSd+1 and a conformal field theory on R to calculate the 3and 4-point functions of the latter. The classical scalar field theory action is evaluated at tree level. e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected] 1

We provide high-energy approximations for all one-loop scalar 3and 4-point functions and the corresponding tensor integrals that appear in scattering processes with four external on-shell particles. Our expressions are valid if all kinematical invariants are much larger than the internal and external masses. They contain all leading-order terms of the integrals. WUE-ITP-96-006 May 1996
