Long‐term survival outcome with tyrosine kinase inhibitors and surgical intervention in patients with metastatic or recurrent gastrointestinal stromal tumors: A 14‐year, single‐cen... by Jwa Hoon Kim, Min‐Hee Ryu, Changhoon Yoo, Heejung Chae, Hana Na, Moyoul Beck, Beom Su Kim, Moon‐Won Yoo, Jeong Hwan Yook, Byung Sik Kim, Ki‐Hun Kim, Chan Wook Kim, Yoon‐Koo Kang

“…Abstract The long‐term effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), including imatinib, and surgical intervention on advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) were evaluated. All 379 patients had metastatic or recurrent GIST and started 400 mg/d imatinib at the Asan Medical Center in periods 1 and 2 [2001‐2007 (33.2%) and 2008‐2014 (66.8%), respectively]. …”

HCNetlas: A reference database of human cell type-specific gene networks to aid disease genetic analyses. by Jiwon Yu, Junha Cha, Geon Koh, Insuk Lee

“…Often, a gene impact on disease through its altered network within specific cell types, rather than mere changes in expression levels. To explore the cell type-specific roles of disease genes, we developed HCNetlas (human cell network atlas), a resource cataloging cell type-specific gene networks (CGNs) for various healthy tissue cells. …”

Dynamic traffic balancing scheme for LB-BvN to guarantee in-order packet delivering by HU Hong-chao, GUO Yun-fei, PANG lin, BU You-jun

“…Due to its outstanding extensibility performance,the LB-BvN switch had attracted much attention recently in the switching technology academia.However,the problem that it might disturb the sequences of packets made it not so applicable in practice.To overcome this,the principles for guaranteeing packets in order switching were first discussed.Then,based on these principles,it focused on research on the transmission characteristics in network traffic and came up with DFA and DFS algorithms.DFA assigned the switching paths to each flow based on their transport layer parameters to make sure that each packet in the flow were in order.DFS was more sophisticated than DFA in that it first divided flows into flowlets.In this way,the flowlets in the flows were in order.Both DFA and DFS could achieve in order packets switching with limited flow states maintained in the line-cards.Simulation results show that both DFA and DFS can achieve good performance.…”

PSO localization algorithm for WSN nodes based on modifying average hop distances by Yan-hang ZHAO, Zhi-hong QIAN, Xiao-hang SHANG, Chao CHENG

“…Regarding the relatively big errors with running the DV-hop localization algorithm in a network topology scenario,with which nodes randomly distributes,a particle swarm optimization localization algorithm for WSN nodes based on modifying average hop distance was proposed.changing the structure of data packets sent by anchor nodes with broadcasting,weighting the average hop distance error of reference anchor nodes to modify the average hop distance,and using an improved particle swarm algorithm to optimize iteration process for localization,thus,WPDV-Hop localization algorithm improvements were carried out.The simulation results indicate that the localization accuracy and the stability of the WPDV-Hop localization algorithm are significantly improved compared with the original algorithm.…”
