AIM To evaluate diagnostic yields of capsule endoscopy (CE) and/or single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) in patients with suspected small bowel diseases. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 700 patients with suspected small bowel diseases from September 2010 to March 2016. CE, SBE, or SBE with prior CE was performed in 401, 353, and 47 patients, respectively. Data from clinical and endoscopy recor...

Single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) is designed for identifying possible small bowel lesions with balloon-assisted enteroscopy that allows deep intubation of the intestine. However, data regarding the outcome and safety of SBE remain limited. We conducted this study to evaluate the outcome and safety of anterograde and retrograde SBE approaches. This retrospective review from a tertiary medical ce...

CONTEXT The destabilization of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide aggregates and the protection of functional cells are the attractive therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Some active ingredients of Salvia miltiorrhiza f. alba C.Y.Wu & H.W.Li (Lamiaceae) (SM) have attracted increasing attention for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. OBJECTIVE Salvianic borneol ester (SBE) is a n...

In this paper, a combination of graph-based design and simulation-based engineering (SBE) into new concept called Executable Integrative Product-Production Model (EIPPM) is elaborated. Today, the first collaborative process in for all mechatronic disciplines virtual commissioning phase. The authors see hitherto untapped potential earlier, integrated iterative use SBE development production syst...

The aims of this study were to determine whether standard base excess (SBE) is a useful diagnostic tool for metabolic acidosis, whether metabolic acidosis is clinically relevant in daily evaluation of critically ill patients, and to identify the most robust acid-base determinants of SBE. Thirty-one critically ill patients were enrolled. Arterial blood samples were drawn at admission and 24 h la...

In the present work, preferential binding mode of Fluorometholone (FLU) drug into nanopores two cyclodexterins, b-cyclodextrin (b-CD) and sulfobutylether-b-cyclodextrin (SEB-b-CD), are theoretically investigated using density functional theory (DFT), Docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation MM-PBSA free energy calculations. The computational results reveal that hydrogen bonds (HBs) van der W...

BACKGROUND Single-balloon endoscopy (SBE) has been introduced as a simplified endoscopy technique after the promotion of double-balloon endoscopy (DBE). The difference in clinical performance between DBE and SBE is still not very clear. In this study, we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety between these 2 endoscopic procedures. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 173 patients with suspected sm...
