The aim of this review is to examine the current status of gynecological cancer in China focusing on epidemiological data. Epidemiological data on gynecological cancer in China is sparse. Therefore, most of the data were estimated via extrapolation based on a few available datasets. Cervical cancer is relatively rare and the incidence and mortality rate are largely decreasing. However, in young women, the incidence and mortality rates are increasing. The overall and age-specific incidence rates

A new class of silicon-containing poly(cyanoterephthalylidene) copolymers with a uniform π-conjugated segment was synthesized using the Knoevenagel reaction between the dialdehyde monomer and the appropriate diacetonitrile. The incorporation of organosilicon units with the flexible alkyl side group into the polymer rigid backbone would afford processable electroluminescent materials and interrupt the regular π-conjugated chains. The resulting polymers were highly soluble in common organic solven

The type of metastasis and completion of initial treatment were associated with prolonged survival in patients with disseminated cervical cancer, and over 20% of patients with lymphatic metastasis were salvaged with volume-directed radiation with concurrent chemotherapy. None of the molecular markers were associated with survival in patients with disseminated cervical cancer.

In this work the gas evolution behavior and the fining ability of the alkali‐free alkaline earth aluminoborosilicate glass batches doped with As 2 O 5 or SnO 2 were examined, and the redox behavior of As and Sn ion in the corresponding fined melts was investigated by square wave voltammetry. The evolved gas analysis showed a distinct difference at begin temperature of O 2 emission and in evolved O 2 volume between glass batches doped with As 2 O 5 and SnO 2 . One peak due to reduction of As 5+ t

In this review, we summarized nine major clinical advances in gynecology which occurred in 2009. For cervical cancer, the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) test as a screening test, the efficacy of HPV vaccine for middle-aged women, randomized controlled trial (RCT) regarding concurrent chemoradiation using gemcitabine plus cisplatin, and the efficacy of pazopanib for metastatic or recurrent disease were chosen. For endometrial cancer, the necessity of systematic pelvic lymphadenectomy in early

This study aimed to determine the factors influencing patients' choice of physician at the first visit through database analysis of a tertiary hospital in South Korea. We collected data on the first treatments performed by physicians who had treated patients for at least 3 consecutive years over 10 years (from 2003 to 2012) from the database of Seoul National University's affiliated tertiary hospital. Ultimately, we obtained data on 524,012 first treatments of 319,004 patients performed by 115 p

The device performance of nanoscale fin field-effect transistor (FinFET) was investigated by numerically solving coupled Poisson-Schrödinger equations in a self-consistent manner. The number of fins was varied in order to optimize the current driving capability of FinFET. The simulation results were compared with the experimental results in order to verify the validity of the proposed quantum mechanical approach. Device optimization was theoretically performed in order to suppress the short-chan

In this review, we summarized 14 major clinical advances in gynecology which occurred in 2008. For cervical cancer, clinical impact of HPV vaccine, prognostic value of imaging during radiotherapy, and oncologic/obstetric outcomes of fertility-sparing surgery were chosen. For uterine cancer, optimal method of adjuvant radiotherapy in intermediate-risk patients, extent of lymph node dissection, outcome of robot-assisted staging surgery, new standard chemotherapy regimen for leiomyosarcoma were sel
