We evaluated the outcomes of metastatic pancreatic cancer (MPC) patients who underwent liver metastases (LMs)-directed ablative radiotherapy (RT) and sought to characterize patients with more favorable prognosis.

A retrospective analysis of 76 MPC patients who underwent ablative RT (median dose, 50 Gy) to LM at 3 academic centers between…[Read more]

A graphene-embedded plasmonic rib waveguide (GEPRW) is designed for the mid-infrared electro-optic modulator. The mode characteristics and electro-optic (EO) modulation performances are simulated and optimized by using the finite element method. The results show that propagation length of 103mm and figure of merit of 106 are obtained by adjusting…[Read more]

5%. Active components in RVSE were isolated, and 5-deoxyluteolin (5) and sulfuretin (7) demonstrate the highest neuraminidase inhibitory activity against influenza A virus. this website RVS, RVSE, and their constituents may be useful for the development of anti-influenza agents.Oxidative (OS), reductive (RS), and nitrosative (NSS) stresses produce…[Read more]
