The two study groups did not differ with respect to age, sex, ECOG PS, tumour stage, tumour diameter, Thoenes grade, histological subtype, location, operation time, operative technique, or perioperative blood transfusions.
Hub port performances were evaluated considering each criterion mentioned under the time, port traffic, location, operation, and liner-related categories.
Moreover, the time category obtained a significantly higher mean score than did the port traffic, location, operation, and liner-related categories, whereas the port traffic, location, and operation categories obtained significantly higher mean scores than did the liner-related category.
The port traffic, location, operation, and liner-related categories obtained significantly lower mean scores than did the monetary category, emphasizing the high significance of the monetary category.
The hub port selection criteria are evaluated based on the monetary, time, port traffic, location, operation, and liner-related categories using a questionnaire survey administered to shipping lines.
The contextual information includes user profile and dynamic user contextual information such as user location, operation history, CPU usage, calendar and events, etc., which are stored and indexed by caching/indexing component (described in Sect. 3.1.2).

We conducted a prospective study and controlled disease, location, operation, age, and duration of pin retention to validate the therapeutic efficacy of two different pin site care protocols in different temperatures.
SLC38A1 overexpression was closely associated with old age (>60 yrs), differentiation status (high/moderate), regional lymph node metastasis, TNM stage (III), and positive PCNA expression (Table 1), but not with gender, tumor size, tumor location, operation manner, lymphovascular invasion, depth of tumor invasion, and p53 expression.
