Conclusion: A 3.60% false positive rate in trials where the expected level of toxicity is low suggests that false positives are troubling and may exceed true positive results. Strategies to reduce the number of false positive results include making confirmatory studies mandatory. Evaluating increases along with decreases obtains some estimation of variance.Chemotherapy 2018;63:324 –329 (Source: Chemotherapy)

Conclusion: Taken together, our results indicated that TEL-MN1 fusion is an oncogene involved in the leukemogenesis process and TEL-MN1 overexpression enhanced resistance of HL-60 cells to idarubicin, which may provide a useful tool for studying the mechanism of leukemogenesis and drug resistance.Chemotherapy 2018;63:308 –314 (Source: Chemotherapy)

Conclusion: IM Cmin at steady state was significantly associated with body weight and body surface area. Monitoring of IM Cmin might be particularly important for the optimal treatment with IM of male patients and those who have undergone gastrectomy.Chemotherapy 2018;63:301 –307 (Source: Chemotherapy)

Although several reports have shown that amino acid (AA) alteration in penicillin-binding protein 3 (PBP3), encoded by the ftsI gene, reduces activity of cefotaxime, precise mechanisms conferring the non-susceptibility have been unclear. We analyzed the ftsI...
