The concepts in knowledge graphs (KGs) enable machines to understand natural language, and thus play an indispensable role many applications. However, existing KGs have the poor coverage of concepts, especially fine-grained concepts. In order supply with more new we propose a novel concept extraction framework, namely MRC-CE, extract large-scale multi-granular from descriptive texts entities. S...

Treatment of mitochondrial respiratory chain (MRC) disorders is extremely difficult, however, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and its synthetic analogues are the only agents which have shown some therapeutic benefit to patients. CoQ10 serves as an electron carrier in the MRC as well as functioning as a potent lipid soluble antioxidant. CoQ10 supplementation is fundamental to the treatment of patients with...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to elucidate the clinical characteristics of patients with spinal epidural abscess (SEA) and demonstrate the risk factors, treatments and neurologic outcomes. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and radiologic images of 35 patients admitted to our department with SEA between March 1987 and April 2011. While we performed decompressive lami...

We determined the effects of past and future climate changes on the distribution of the Montivipera raddei species complex (MRC) that contains rare and endangered viper species limited to Iran, Turkey and Armenia. We also investigated the current distribution of MRC to locate unidentified isolated populations as well as to evaluate the effectiveness of the current network of protected areas for...

BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) is currently under investigation for non-invasive biliary tract imaging. AIM To compare MRC with endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) for pretreatment evaluation of malignant hilar obstruction. METHODS Twenty patients (11 men, nine women; median age 74 years) referred for endoscopic palliation of a hilar obstruction were included. T...

BACKGROUND Contrast enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography is a novel technique and promising method in demonstrating biliary tree anatomy and evaluating biliary disorders. However, to date, there are a limited number of studies that have focused on the impact of this technique. AIMS We aimed to evaluate the additional role of contrast enhanced MR cholangiography (MRC) and compare contra...
