Gene expression (microarray and qRT-PCR) analyses indicated the survival of Melligen cells in the presence of known β-cell cytotoxins was associated with the expression of NF-κB and antiapoptotic genes (such as BIRC3).
Figure 6 gives the survival plots for both datasets (solid lines indicate the survival probability, while dashed lines indicate 95% confidence intervals).
These results indicated the survival potential of Lp9 in the presence of toxic bile salts.
Combined treatment with TACE and sorafenib also indicated the survival benefits for selective patients [ 18, 19].
Results indicated the survival of surgery group to be significantly higher than the non-surgery group (data not shown).
Especially, PFS can swiftly and accurately indicate the survival benefit of the first-line therapy, which enables clinicians to modify their treatment projects as soon as possible.
A specific antihuman vimentin antibody was used to indicate the survival and migration of human cells from the implanted engineered cell sheet into the inner β-TCP scaffold.
HR < 1 indicated the survival benefit from a metabolic responding low SUV, whereas HR > 1 denoted an increased risk of metabolic nonresponding progression and death.
Solitary cells with strong nanosphere signal were found up to 11 weeks after injection, indicating the survival of non-dividing, dormant cells (Naumov et al., 2002).
If p is defined as the probability of non-cure as represented by p = Pr(Y = 1), and T is a random variable indicating the survival time, the cumulative distribution function of T is represented by the following Equation (2).
