Objectives: Tibial spine fractures (TSFs) are avulsion at the insertion of anterior cruciate ligament tibial intercondylar eminence. TSFs rare injuries thought to occur most frequently in skeletally immature children aged 8 14 years. Historically, it was that common mechanism falling off bicycles, but recent research suggests a variety additional mechanisms. Treatment for can be operative or no...

A trinuclear 3N-chelated monofunctional platinum complex, [Pt3(HPTAB)Cl3](ClO4)3 (HPTAB = N,N,N',N',N'',N''-hexakis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,3,5-tris(aminomethyl)benzene), has been structurally characterized, which binds to DNA and demonstrates much higher potency against the murine leukemia cell line (P-388) and the human nonsmall-cell lung cancer cell line (A-549) than cisplatin.

We use a simple theoretical framework and a randomized manipulation of access to information on peers' wages to provide new evidence on the effects of relative pay on individual job satisfaction and job search intentions. A randomly chosen subset of employees of the University of California (UC) was informed about a new website listing the pay of University employees. All employees were then su...

The acivity-guided fractionation upon the MeOH extract of the aerial parts ofSorbaria sorbifolia var.stellipila led to the isolation of two cucurbitacin-compounds, cucurbitacin D and cucurbitacin F, as active principles. Two compounds were shown to exhibit significant cytotoxicity against cultured human tumor cell lines, A-549, SK-OV-3, SK-MEL-2, XF-498, and HCT 15.

Background. The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines delineate criteria for the use of computed tomography (CT) scan of the head before lumbar puncture (LP) in adults with community-acquired meningitis (CAM). There are limited data to document adherence to these guidelines and assess the clinical utility of brain imaging. Methods. This was a retrospective analysis from Jan...

We see that the entropy method yields strong concentration results for general selfbounding functions of independent random variables. These give an improvement of a concentration result of Talagrand much used in discrete mathematics. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct. Alg., 29, 549–557, 2006

Beclin 1 is a promoter gene for autophagy as well as a key factor for regulating tumor cell growth and death. Allelic deletion of Beclin 1 has been observed in certain triple-negative breat cancer (TNBC) cells, and it might be associated with increased proliferation and invasion in TNBC cells. In this study we investigated the relationship between Beclin 1 expression and prognosis for TNBC pati...
