BACKGROUND There is a lack of outcome data beyond local recurrence rates after primary treatment in rectal cancer, despite more information being necessary for clinical decision-making. We sought to determine patient selection, therapeutic modalities and outcomes of locally recurrent rectal cancer treated with curative intent. METHODS We searched MEDLINE (1990-2010) using the medical subject ...

Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) may cause serious side-effects that draw great attention from both academia and industry. Since some DDIs are mediated by unexpected drug-human protein interactions, it is reasonable to analyze the chemical-protein interactome (CPI) profiles of the drugs to predict their DDIs. Here we introduce the DDI-CPI server, which can make real-time DDI predictions based only...

Zoysia japonica is an important warm-season turfgrass used worldwide. The decreased aesthetic quality and functionality during leaf senescence hamper its further utilization. However, information about the transcriptional mechanism genes involved in Z. needs to be more extensive. Therefore, better understand japonica, we investigated integrated analysis of chlorophyll fluorescence test (JIP-tes...

The conservation of biodiversity is crucial as many plant species are critically under extinction. traditional medicinal system, an alternative to synthetic drugs, promote healthy living and mainly depends on the wide repository plants. A vision-based automatic identification system proposed using different neural network techniques in computer vision deep learning. challenge lies unavailabilit...

Both biotic and abiotic components, characterizing the mountain treeline ecotone, respond differently to climate variations. This study aims at reconstructing climate-driven changes by analyzing soil evolution in late Holocene assessing climatic trends for last centuries years a key high-altitude (2515 m a.s.l.) on SW slope of Becca di Viou (Aosta Valley Region, Italy). approach is based scienc...
