OBJECTIVE: To study the absorption and biotransformation of liquiritin, cinnamic acid, paeoniflorin, and glycyrrhizic acid in the Guizhi decoction (GZD) in the gastrointestinal tracts of rats.
Although electrogastrography (EGG) could be a critical tool in the diagnosis of patients with gastrointestinal (GI) disease, it remains under-utilized. The lack of spatial and temporal resolution using current EGG methods presents a significant roadb...

The expected increase of global obesity prevalence makes it necessary to have information about the effects of meal intakes on the feeling of appetite. Because human clinical studies are time and cost intensive, there is a need for a reliable alterna...
Recently, a variety of positioning and tracking methods have been proposed for capsule robots moving in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract to provide real-time unobstructed spatial pose results. However, the current absolute position-based result cannot...

Wireless capsule endoscopes provide a painless and non-invasive alternative to the flexible endoscope in various applications of the gastrointestinal tract diagnosis. Operating a wireless capsule endoscope in the colon may benefit from an active posi...
Automatic detection of anatomical landmarks and diseases in medical images is a challenging task which could greatly aid medical diagnosis and reduce the cost and time of investigational procedures. Also, two particular challenges of digital image pr...
Compared with conventional gastroscopy which is invasive and painful, wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) can provide noninvasive examination of gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The WCE video can effectively support physicians to reach a diagnostic decision...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Advanced endoscopy procedures are technically challenging and require extensive training. Recent technological advances made in computer science and robotics have the potential to enhance the performance of complex intraluminal and...
