The accuracy of algorithm is guaranteed by the Central Limit Theorem. The computation of the value on each single node is independent of each other, which makes it easy to realize the algorithm in parallel processing and greatly improves the efficiency while dealing with local area computation. As long as different kinds of boundary conditions are statistics modeled,wide applications can the be made where the finite difference method is of competence.展开更多

METHODS:Forty-five patients were studied:fifteen were randomized to PEG-IFN plus ribavirin(PR),16 to PEGIFN plus ketoprofen and 14 to PR and ketoprofen.Themolecular study of IFN-dependent signal transduction was conducted in 9 patients from each group. RESULTS:The combination of ketoprofen and PEG- IFN with or without ribavirin was safe and well tolerated.An early activation of STAT1 was observed in ke-toprofen-treated patients,but this activation was less sustained over time.Conversely,ketoprofen plus PEG- IFN and ribavirin induced an early and sustained increase of 2'-5'OAS transcription starting 24 h after the first dose until the 36th wk.These data are consistent with the clinical results,showing a better sustained virological response and a lower relapse rate in patients receiving ketoprofen plus PEG-IFN and ribavirin. CONCLUSION:The addition of ketoprofen to the standard therapy of chronic hepatitis C should be explored in larger randomized clinical studies.展开更多
