Capsules for biomedical image segmentation.

Medical image analysis
Our work expands the use of capsule networks to the task of object segmentation for the first time in the literature. This is made possible via the introduction of locally-constrained routing and transformation matrix sharing, which reduces the param...

Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Sanjie Zhentong Capsule Assessed By Network Pharmacology Analysis of Adenomyosis Treatment.

Drug design, development and therapy
BACKGROUND: Sanjie Zhentong capsule (SZC) offers excellent effect in treating adenomyosis (AM), which is a common and difficult gynecological disease in the clinic. However, the systematic analysis of its mechanism has not been carried out yet and fu...

Self-Assembled Polyurethane Capsules with Selective Antimicrobial Activity against Gram-Negative .

ACS biomaterials science & engineering
This article reports the antimicrobial activity of two segmented amphiphilic polyurethanes, PU-1 and PU-2, containing a primary or secondary amine group, respectively. In acidic water, intrachain H-bonding among the urethanes followed by hierarchical...

Magnetically Actuated Heterogeneous Microcapsule-Robot for the Construction of 3D Bioartificial Architectures.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Core-shell microcapsules as one type of the most attractive carriers and reactors have been widely applied in the fields of drug screening and tissue engineering owing to their excellent biocompatibility and semi-permeability. Yet, the spatial organi...

A Capsule-Type Microrobot with Pick-and-Drop Motion for Targeted Drug and Cell Delivery.

Advanced healthcare materials
A capsule-type microrobot exhibits "pick-and-drop" (P&D) motion to hold a particle within a confined volume and transports it via a corkscrewing motion. The P&D motion is possible because the capsule-type microrobot has two parts: a plunger and a cap...

A novel method for the production of core-shell microparticles by inverse gelation optimized with artificial intelligent tools.

International journal of pharmaceutics
Numerous studies have been focused on hydrophobic compounds encapsulation as oils. In fact, oils can provide numerous health benefits as synergic ingredient combined with other hydrophobic active ingredients. However, stable microparticles for pharma...

Highly sensitive colorimetric aptasensor for ochratoxin A detection based on enzyme-encapsulated liposome.

Analytica chimica acta
A simple, low-cost, and sensitive liposome-based colorimetric aptasensor has been developed to detect ochratoxin A (OTA). Specifically, a dumbbell-shaped probe was designed, including magnetic beads (MBs), double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), and enzyme-enca...

A validated capillary electrophoretic method for the determination of indacaterol and its application to a pharmaceutical preparation.

Journal of food and drug analysis
Indacaterol is a new inhaled ultra-long acting β-agonist. It has been recently approved in the European Union for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This paper reports, for the first time, a method for the determination and valid...

Scaling effects in spiral capsule robots.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Spiral capsule robots can be applied to human gastrointestinal tracts and blood vessels. Because of significant variations in the sizes of the inner diameters of the intestines as well as blood vessels, this research has been unable to meet the requi...

RSM and ANN modeling-based optimization approach for the development of ultrasound-assisted liposome encapsulation of piceid.

Ultrasonics sonochemistry
Piceid, a naturally occurring derivative of resveratrol found in many plants, has recently been considered as a potential nutraceutical. However, its poorly water-soluble property could cause a coupled problem of biological activities concerning drug...
