Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a multifunctional cytokine, has recently been implicated in human cervical
cancer, though the mechanism remains elusive. This study demonstrates that the anti-…

In this paper, a fractional partial differential equation (FPDE) describing sub-diffusion is
considered. An implicit difference approximation scheme (IDAS) for solving a FPDE is presented. …

The primary objective of this paper is to evaluate the impact of Taiwan's National Health
Insurance program (NHI), established in 1995, on improving elderly access to care and health …

The multifunctional cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) regulates growth and differentiation of many
cell types and induces production of acute-phase proteins in hepatocytes. Here we report …

and discussion. Ying-Cheng Chiang also advised on and evaluated the animal experiments. Yu…

The objective of this paper is to investigate the mesothelin expression level to the
clinicopathological features, chemoresponse, and to the outcome of patients with epithelial ovarian …

In this paper, we consider a variable-order anomalous subdiffusion equation. A numerical
scheme with first order temporal accuracy and fourth order spatial accuracy for the equation is …

Systemic chemotherapy given at maximum tolerated doses (MTD) has been the mainstay of
cancer treatment for more than half a century. In some chemosensitive diseases such as …

The alpha-folate receptor (α-FR) is highly-expressed in various non-mucinous tumors of
epithelial origin, including ovarian carcinoma. The aim of this study was to investigate the …
