This prospective study was to investigate the possible risk factors for the leakage of chemotherapeutic agent into the systemic circulation after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Single-parton scattering versus double-parton scattering in the production of two $c \bar c$ pairs and charmed meson correlations at the LHC [PDF]
We compare results of exact calculations of single parton scattering (SPS) and double parton scattering (DPS) for production of $c \bar c c \bar c$ and for $D$ meson correlations. The SPS calculations are performed in collinear approximation with exact matrix element for $g g \to c \bar c c \bar c$ and $q \bar q \to c \bar c c \bar c$ subprocesses.

Antifibrotic effects of tocotrienols on human Tenon's fibroblasts [PDF]
Purpose: To compare the antifibrotic effect of vitamin E isoforms α-, γ-, and δ-tocotrienol on human Tenon's fibroblasts (hTf) to the antimetabolite mitomycin C.

Abstract Background Environmental influence is critical for embryogenesis but is significantly under‐appreciated under lab conditions, which are not typically designed to robustly test environmental variability. Here, we report environmental effects on the developmental phenotype of zebrafish lacking the transcription factor Grainyhead‐like 3 (grhl3 ...

Focal Urethral Stricturing Following Intraurethral Mitomycin-C Gel and the Use of a Penile Clamp
We present a case of a 51-year-old gentleman, previously diagnosed with high-grade superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and treated with intravesical mitomycin C and BCG, who developed serial recurrences in the prostatic urethra.

Cluster-tilted algebras as trivial extensions [PDF]
Given a finite dimensional algebra $C$ (over an algebraically closed field) of global dimension at most two, we define its relation-extension algebra to be the trivial extension $C\ltimes \Ext_C^2(DC,C)$ of $C$ by the $C$-$C$-bimodule $\Ext_C^2(DC,C)$. We give a construction for the quiver of the relation-extension algebra in case the quiver of $C$ has

Tocotrienol inhibits proliferation of human Tenon's fibroblasts in vitro: a comparative study with vitamin E forms and mitomycin C [PDF]
Purpose: To evaluate the potential of the vitamin E compound α-tocotrienol as antifibrotic agent in vitro. Methods: Using human Tenon's capsule fibroblast cultures, the antiproliferative and cytotoxic effects of the different vitamin E forms α-tocopherol,

Comparison of single-drop mitomycin C regime with other mitomycin C regimes in pterygium surgery.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of single-drop instillation of mitomycin C (MMC) in pterygium surgery and to compare the results with both postoperative and intraoperative application of MMC.

Perfect graphs of fixed density: counting and homogenous sets [PDF]
For c in [0,1] let P_n(c) denote the set of n-vertex perfect graphs with density c and C_n(c) the set of n-vertex graphs without induced C_5 and with density c. We show that log|P_n(c)|/binom{n}{2}=log|C_n(c)|/binom{n}{2}=h(c)+o(1) with h(c)=1/2 if 1/4
