Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) has been suggested to be a putative tumor promoter gene, and autocrine of TNF-α expression has been found in colon cancer and ovarian cancer. As the role of autocrine TNF-α in human gallbladder cancer has not yet been elucidated, the present study examined the expression of TNF-α in gallbladder cancer-derived cell lines. Based on the data, TNF-α mRNA and TNF-α pr...

Objectives. To study factors that predict changes in management with digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). Methods. The Institutional Review Board approved this HIPAA compliant study. 996 patients had DBT with full field digital mammography (FFDM). Univariate analysis evaluated predictors of management change and cancer detection. Results. DBT changed management in 109 of 996 (11%); 77 (71%) requ...

A common fixed point theorem using EA-property for four weakly compatible maps is obtained in the setting of Gmetric spaces without exploiting the notion of continuity. Our results generalize the results of Abbas and Rhoades[7], and Manro et. al.[11]. Moreover, we show that these maps satisfy property R. Applications to certain intergral equations and functional equations are also obtained.
