The study group was given topical hemocoagulase spray intraoperatively, while the control group was given traditional 8% norepinephrine spray. Hemostatic efficacy was compared between the two groups. Bleeding site, wound cleanliness and perforation were recorded, and the rates of perforation and late bleeding were compared.RESULTS: Successful hemostasis was achieved in 39(100%) patients of the study group and in 47(94.0%) patients of the control group, and there was no significant difference in the rate of successful hemostasis between the two groups. Compared with the control group, after topical hemocoagulase spray in the study group, the surgical field was clearer, the bleeding site was more easily identified, and the wound was cleaner. There was no significant difference in the rate of perforation between the study and control groups(16.7% vs 35.0%, P = 0.477), but the rates oflate bleeding(0% vs 15.8%, P = 0.048) and overall complications(P = 0.032) were significantly lower in the study group.CONCLUSION: Topical hemocoagulase spray has a definite hemostatic effect for oozing bleeding in digestive endoscopy, and this method is convenient, safe, and reliable. It is expected to become a new method for endoscopic hemostasis.展开更多

It extends Z with a number of features that provide support for object-oriented design and management of specifications of very large systems. In addition to the usual object-oriented structures such as encapsulation into classes and inheritance, OOZS has some distinctive features : the Include facility, Import&Export mechanism, Pre&Post predicate, and the improved Delta&Xi list. This paper gives a brief description of this language.展开更多

According to the geological settings of the sampling area and its organic geochemical characteristics, it is considered that the hydrothermal activities on the ocean floor facilitate the decomposition of organic matter in the sediment, which leads to the generation and migration of hydrocarbon into manganese nodules and ooze. This discovery is important for understanding the mechanisms of hydrocarbon generation in the ocean floor and展开更多
