This research was aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of Ligasure vessel sealing system combined with total abdominal hysterectomy in the treatment of cervical carcinoma. Ninety-six patients with cervical carcinoma admitted to the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of our hospital between October 2013 and October 2015 were selected. All patients received total abdominal hysterectom...

Trenchless technologies lie in the deposition, fixing or renovation of underground infrastructure with a little or even zero digging operations. Fixing operations are a special case of renovation, when the technical capacity of the pipelines is restored through sealing or local repairs. A sealing up operation lies in filling undug or leaking places with a sealing material or injecting liquid se...

To solve the extracting problem caused by the sealing structure design of a new-type swing chamber artillery, the sealing system was analyzed and the sealing reliability standard was established. Based on the multi-disciplinary design optimization platform and the large-scale nonlinear FEA software ABAQUS, with the residual contact force as optimized objective and the standard as constraint, th...

A quantum sealing protocol is a quantum cryptographic protocol that can detect unsealing of a message. It is known that quantum bit sealing is insecure. However, this does not imply that quantum string sealing is also insecure. So the possibility of quantum string sealing has been studied. In this paper, we propose a quantum sealing protocol and give an information theoretic analysis. We also s...

The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of combined debridement, bone graft and articular cavity sealing using synovium in the treatment of metaphyseal osteomyelitis involving the knee joint. Eleven patients with metaphyseal osteomyelitis, which involved femurs in 4 patients and tibiae in 7, were included. The patients received a novel treatment, which combined debridement, bone g...

BACKGROUND The efficacy of saline-coupled bipolar sealing devices in joint arthroplasty is uncertain, and the utility in simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has not been reported. METHODS This study compares the use of bipolar sealing and conventional electrocautery in 71 consecutive patients. The experimental and control groups were matched for age, sex, body mass index, Ame...

Osteoclasts resorb bone through the formation of a unique attachment structure called the sealing zone. In this study, a role for thyroid hormone receptor-interacting protein 6 (TRIP6) in sealing zone formation and osteoclast activity was examined. TRIP6 was shown to reside in the sealing zone through its association with tropomyosin 4, an actin-binding protein that regulates sealing dimensions...

Background: No validated and standardized animal models of pulmonary air leakage (PAL) exist for testing aerostatic efficacy lung sealants. Lack negative control groups in published studies intrinsic sealing mechanisms healthy lungs might contribute to a translational gap, leading poor clinical results. This study aims address the impact on validity PAL models, investigate conditions required a...
