Patients were followed during 1 mo. The incidence of adverse events(delayed bleeding or perforation) and the percentage of mucosal healing(MHR) after 4 wk were registered. RESULTS EMR was performed in 11 lesions(46.4 mm ± 4 mm, range 40-70 mm). Delayed bleeding or perforation was not observed in any patient. Mean ulcerated area atbaseline was 22.7 cm^2 ± 11.7 cm^2 whereas at week 4 were 2.9 cm^2 ± 1.5 cm^2. Patients treated with PRP showed a very high MHR after 4 wk(87.5%). CONCLUSION PRP is an easy-to-obtain solution with proven and favourable biological activities that could be used in advanced endoscopic resection.展开更多

The current injection phase-shifting technique is introduced into the research of soft-switching plasma converter successfully. The magnetic bias of transformer and the protection of switching parts are solved. The tests state that the power supply has excellent characteristics and higher efficiency and can meet the demand of large power plasma process well.展开更多
