buerger's disease is an occlusive inflammatory disease of the small and medium-sized arteries and accounts for a variable proportion of patients with peripheral vascular disease throughout the world. the aim of this study was to review the records of buerger's disease patients admitted to surgery wards of our university hospitals. 277 patients with buerger's disease were surgically treated betw...

In simulations of chemical systems, the main task is to find an exact or approximate solution of the chemical master equation (CME) that satisfies certain constraints with respect to computation time and accuracy. While Brownian motion simulations of single molecules are often too time consuming to represent the mesoscopic level, the classical Gillespie algorithm is a stochastically exact algor...

A one-vial formulation of the chemotherapy agent Taxotere(®) (docetaxel) is likely to be commercially available in some countries in 2010. Through control of two significant potential risk factors for crystallization-intervention into the infusion bag (by using a one-step technique) and temperature (by use of refrigerated storage)-it was postulated that the risk of precipitation would be reduce...

OBJECTIVE To compare compensatory sweating after lowering or restricting the level of sympathectomy. METHOD A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted of all randomized controlled trials published in English that compared compensatory sweating after lowering or restricting the level of sympathectomy. The Cochrane collaboration tool was used to assess the risk of bias, and the Mantel...

A dramatic shift in chemical engineering undergraduate education is proposed, based on discipline-wide workshop discussions that have taken place over the past year, to be developed and implemented over a ten-year period. Through this process broad concensus has been developed regarding basic principles for chemical engineering undergraduate eduction in the future; these principles address fund...

Protein structure prediction is critical to functional annotation of the massively accumulated biological sequences, which prompts an imperative need for the development of high-throughput technologies. As a first and key step in protein structure prediction, protein structural class prediction becomes an increasingly challenging task. Amongst most homological-based approaches, the accuracies o...
