Capsule endoscopy is a noninvasive diagnostic method used in various gastrointestinal diseases such as Crohn’s disease and celiac disease. Immunoproliferative small-intestinal disease (IPSID) is a proliferative disorder of IgA-producing B lymphocytes [1]. IPSID has been characterized by the loss of the mucosal circular folds, a thickened, cobblestone appearance of the mucosa, and multiple sessi...

Neuroblastoma is the second most common retroperitoneal tumour in children after Wilms' tumour. When it originates in the retroperitoneum, neuroblastoma usually presents as an abdominal mass with clinical manifestations of nausea, vomiting and weight loss. Imaging studies of this tumour demonstrate a heterogeneous mass with an irregular capsule and visible calcifications. Encasement and compres...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of different plasticizers on the ethylcellulose coatings of capsules and its timed release characteristics. Various plasticizers such as dibutyl phthalate (DBP), triacetin (TA), glycerol, triethyl citrate (TEC), polyethylene glycol-4000 and polyethylene glycol-6000 (PEG) were studied. The physicochemical properties of the casted poly...

In this study, some growth parameters, protein content and fatty acids properties of ten different sesame populations cultivated in Southeastern Anatolia were investigated. Protein oil contents the varied between 19.60-24.85 % 30.16-40.36 %, respectively. Oleic acid (43.42-45.05 %), linoleic (38.12-39.80 palmitic (9.33-9.83 %) stearic (5.33 to 5.63 predominant compounds seed oil. Cultivated exh...

Here we describe the study of sorption high-molecular components dissolved organic matter (DOM) natural waters - humic acids by eight bacterial strains isolated from freshwater. Isotherms DOM cells are described Langmuir equation. Gram-positive bacteria adsorb more than gram-negative bacteria, with high molecular weight fractions binding in a relatively selective manner. A positive correlation ...

High efficient loading and controlled release of low-molecular-weight drugs were achieved facilely by heat-shrinkage of polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules with a spontaneous deposition property. The capsules consisting of 5 bilayers of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) and poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) were assembled on PSS-doped CaCO3 particles. After core removal, a part of PSS molecule...

A method was developed for the preparation of microcapsules containing a reactive amine with potential applications in self-healing polymers. Amine core microcapsules were prepared by interfacial polymerization of an isocyanate and an amine stabilized by an inverse Pickering emulsion. Microcapsules were successfully isolated, dried, and redispersed in epoxy. Visualization of capsules in cured e...

The deformation and recovery behaviors of multilayer microcapsules were investigated after being forced to flow through a microchannel. The microchannel device with a constriction (5.7 μm in depth) in the middle was designed, and the multilayer microcapsules with different size and layer thickness (and thereby different mechanical strength) were used. Deformation in the microchannel was observe...

A serine esterase with potent proteolytic activity against native bovine lens capsule type IV collagen was isolated and purified from extract of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). The type IV collagenolytic activity co-purified with N-t-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-alanine nitroanilidase, and was inhibited by phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride and N-acetyl-Ala-Ala-Ala-Ala chloromethyl ketone. In addi...

FeiYangchangweiyan capsule (FY capsule), a traditional Chinese medicinal preparation consisting of three medicinal herbs, has been used to treat bacterial dysentery, acute, and chronic gastroenteritis for several decades. In this study, a novel, convenient, accurate, and valid method was developed by using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with diode array detection...
