Our trial aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of abnormal glucose metabolism in patients with malignant tumors to provide a basis for further intervention. A total of 1045 patients who had been diagnosed with malignant tumors and hospitalized were surveyed. The total prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) was 39.1% (409/1045); that is, 16.4% ...

HIV-1 group M strains are characterized into 9 pure subtypes and 48 circulating recombinant forms (CRFs). Recent studies have identified the presence of new HIV-1 recombinants in Hong Kong and their complexity continues to increase. This study aims to characterize the HIV-1 genetic diversity in Hong Kong. Phylogenetic analyses were performed by using HIV-1 pol sequences including protease and p...

Economic analysis of law is concerned with (a) determination of the effects of legal rules and (b) evaluation of the desirability of the effects of legal rules with respect to well-specified definitions of social welfare. This entry surveys the approach as it applies to basic areas of law -accident, property, contract, and criminal law -as well as to the litigation process. The economic approac...

Multi-frequency 1.7, 5 and 8.4-GHz VLBA observations of a radio-loud broad absorption line (BAL) quasar 1045+352 are presented. It is a young compact steep spectrum (CSS) object and its asymmetric, two-sided morphology on a scale of several hundred parsecs, extending in two different directions, may suggest intermittent activity. The young age and unusual morphology of 1045+352 are arguments in...
