P27 Expression as a Prognostic Factor of Breast Cancer in Taiwan
No full textp27Kip1 is a member of the Cip/Kip family of cyclin- dependent kinase inhibitors. It binds to a variety of cyclin /CDK complexes, inhibits kinase activity, and blocks the cell cycle. Absent or reduced p27 expression has been shown to be a significant predictor of poor survival in breast, colorectal, prostate, non-small cell lung and esophagus carcinomas. An immunohistochemical assay was performed on 169 patients with primary breast cancers to evaluate the biologic significance of p27 expression. Decreased p27 expression was significantly associated with high grade (P = 0.00025), negative estrogen receptor (P = 0.00004), and negative progesterone receptor (P = 0.0038) breast cancers. Univariate analysis reveals that p27 expression inversely correlated significantly with overall survival (P = 0.0001). By multivariate analysis, p27 predicted the overall survival independently (P = 0.0096). Our study indicates that p27 expression is an independent prognostic marker of breast cancer in Taiwan

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
