We report direct measurements of electrical transport through poly (dA)-poly (dT) and poly
(dG)-poly (dC) DNA molecules containing identical base pairs. The observed experimental …

OBJECTIVES: To compare retrospectively the imaging features of computed tomography
(CT) and contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) imaging for the assessment of cystic renal masses …

Growing evidence suggests that obesity, an established cause of renal cell cancer (RCC),
may also be associated with a better prognosis. To evaluate the association between RCC …

Background The anti‐cancer activities of curcumin are well‐documented from preclinical
studies using prostate cancer models. Our objective was to evaluate the anti‐cancer activity …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to prospectively evaluate whether MRI before an
initial transrectal ultrasound–guided biopsy contributed to detection of prostate cancer in …

We studied the impurity scattering on the±s-wave superconductor (SC), with realistic
parameters for the Fe pnictide SCs. Using the T-matrix method, generalized for the two …

Background. Radical nephrectomy is a significant risk factor for chronic kidney disease
(CKD). There are few reports on the renal outcome of acute kidney injury (AKI) after radical …

We have measured the bulk properties as well as the elastic and inelastic neutron scattering
of YMnO 3 in order to understand the static and dynamic properties of the Mn moments. Our …

Tumor progression locus 2 (Tpl2) is a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase
kinase (MAP3K) that conveys various intra-and extra-cellular stimuli to effector proteins of …

Background Preoperative assessment of patients' immunologic and nutritional conditions is
required to predict the outcome of patients with malignant tumors. The aim of the current …
