Localization of hRad9 in breast cancer (2008)
Chan, Vivian, Khoo, US, Wong, MS, Lau, Ken, Suen, Dacita, Li, George, ...
Abstract Background hRad9 is a cell cycle checkpoint gene that is up-regulated in breast cancer. We have previously shown that the mRNA up-regulation correlated with tumor size and local recurrence....

Dioxiranes generated in situ from pyruvates (-keto esters) and Oxone have been found to be environmentally friendly oxidizing agents for disinfection. These oxidizing agents were highly effective for...
A genetic locus for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis linked to chromosome 19p13.3 (2002)
Chan, VNY, Fong, GCY, Luk, KDK, Yip, B, Lee, MK, Wong, MS, ...
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is one of the most common orthopedic disorders, affecting up to 4% of schoolchildren worldwide. We studied seven unrelated multiplex families of southern Chinese...

A measurement-based congestion alarm for self-similar traffic (2001)
Self-similar traffic is distinguished by positive correlation, which can be exploited for better traffic management. Inspired by measurement-based admission control schemes, a measurement-based...
Genetics and clinical features of Hemoglobin H disease in Chinese patients (2000)
Chen, FE, Ooi, CGC, Ha, SY, Cheung, BMY, Todd, D, Liang, RHS, ...
Background Normally, one pair of each of the two -globin genes, 1 and 2, resides on each copy of chromosome 16. In hemoglobin H disease, three of these four -globin genes are affected by a deletion,...

Decomposition of network of queues with self-similar traffic (1998)
Jakcson's network of queues model greatly simplifies the perfomance analysis of telecommunication networks with Poisson traffic arrivals and exponential service times. It reduces the analysis of a...

AIMS: To compare the nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA in peripheral blood leucocytes and plasma obtained from heparinised blood; to...
Prenatal diagnosis of common single gene disorders by DNA technology (1997)
Using the new DNA technology, it is now possible to offer prenatal diagnosis or presymptomatic testing for many genetic diseases. For prenatal diagnosis, foetal tissue is obtained y chorionic villus...
Treatment of adenovirus-associated haemorrhagic cystitis with ganciclovir (1997)
Chen, FE, Liang, RHS, Lo, JY, Yuen, KY, Chan, TK, Peiris, M
We report a 47-year-old bone marrow transplant recipient with haemorrhagic cystitis caused by adenovirus successfully treated with ganciclovir. This is the first report on the use of ganciclovir for...
DNA analysis of Huntington's disease in southern Chinese (1995)
Chan, VNY, Yu, YL, Chan, TPT, Yip, B, Chang, CM, Wong, MTH, ...
Allelic frequencies of RFLPs at loci closely linked to the HD gene, D4S95, D4S91, D4S141, and D4S90, were determined in 13 Huntington's disease (HD) patients from nine Chinese families and 129 normal...
Yuen, KY, Lo, KF, Chiu, KW, Wong, SY, Lau, YL, Liang, R, ...
A nested PCR assay for the detection of human cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA was evaluated by weekly monitoring of blood samples taken from 101 bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients. When peripheral...
Fulminant hyperpyrexia induced by bleomycin (1989)
Leung, WH, Lau, JY, Chan, TK, Kumana, CR
Mild and self-limiting fever following bleomycin use is common, and a fatal hyperpyrexial response occurs rarely. In previously reported cases, such hyperpyrexia occurred either after the initial...
Cardiac tamponade complicating leukaemia: immediate chemotherapy or pericardiocentesis? (1989)
Leung, WH, Tai, YT, Lau, CP, Wong, CK, Cheng, CH, Chan, TK
