They were randomly allocatedinto three groups; each group included 30 patients treatedwith intravariceal sclerosant injections in biweeklysessions till complete obturation of gastric varices;Group I (n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate; Histoacryl?), GroupII (iso-amyl-2-cyanoacrylate; Amcrylate?) and GroupIII (mixture of 72% chromated glycerin; Scleremo?with glucose solution 25%). All the procedures wereperformed electively without active bleeding. Recruitedpatients were followed up for 3 mo.RESULTS: 26% of Scleremo group had bleeding duringpuncture vs 3.3% in each of the other two groups withsignificant difference, (P 〈 0.05). None of Scleremogroup had needle obstruction vs 13.3% in each of theother two groups with no significant difference, (P 〉0.05). Rebleeding occurred in 13.3% of Histoacryl andAmcrylate groups vs 0% in Scleremo group with nosignificant difference. The in hospital mortality was 6.6%in both Histoacryl and Amcrylate groups, while it was0% in Scleremo group with no significant difference. Inthe first and second sessions, the amount of Scleremoneeded for obturation was significantly high, while the amount of Histoacryl was significantly low. Scleremo was the less costly of the two treatments. CONCLUSION: All used sclerosant substances showed efficacy and success in management of gastric varices with no significant differences except in total amount,cost and bleeding during puncture.展开更多

It is characterized physically and photoelectrochemically. The microstrncture is fairly homogenous with a mean crystallite size of ca. 2 Ixm. The optical gap (1.30 eV), determined from the diffuse reflectance, is well suited to the sunlight spectrum. The Mott Schottky plot is characteristic of P-type conductivity with a flat band potential of-0.26 VscE. As application, the photoreduction of chromate is successfully achieved in air-equilibrated suspension CuCrO2/ZnO (1/1). CuCrO2 is photoactivated by visible light and the electrons in the conduction band (-1.34 VscE) are injected to ZnO. In the presence of salicylic acid, a conversion of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) of 57% is obtained under optimal conditions (pH 3 at 25~C, 5x 10-4 mol/L) because of the HCrO4- dark adsorption onto ZnO (4HCrO4- + 3C7H603 + 1802 + 16H~ 4Cr3+ + 21CO2 + 19H20, AGO = -557 kcal/mol). Prolonged illumination is accompanied by a deceleration in the photoactivity owing to the competitive water reduction, an issue of energetic concern. The hetero-system exhibits self sensitization for hydrogen production with an evolution rate of 149 Ixmol/(hr.g).展开更多
