A comprehensive analysis of classification methods in gastrointestinal endoscopy imaging.

Gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy has been an active field of research motivated by the large number of highly lethal GI cancers. Early GI cancer precursors are often missed during the endoscopic surveillance. The high missed rate of such abnormalities during endoscopy is thus a critical bottleneck.

Horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed polymerization of L-DOPA for mono-/bi-enzyme immobilization and amperometric biosensing of H2O2 and uric acid.

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed polymerization of L-DOPA (vs. dopamine) in the presence of H2O2 (and uricase (UOx)) was exploited to immobilize mono-/bi-enzymes for hydroquinone-mediated amperometric biosensing of H2O2 and uric acid (UA). The relevant polymeric biocomposites (PBCs) were prepared in phosphate buffer solution containing HRP and L-DOPA (or plus UOx) after adding H2O2.

An EQCM study on the interaction of heparin with the charge-transfer complex generated during o-tolidine electrooxidation: a biosensing mode with a dynamically renewed surface.

The electrooxidation of o-tolidine (oTD) was investigated via the electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) technique. The formation and breakage of the poorly soluble charge-transfer complex (CTC) occurred during the redox switching of oTD, and the CTC precipitation on and its removal from the electrode surface led to a V-shaped frequency response to the cyclic voltammetric switching of oTD. The V-shaped frequency response to the redox switching of the CTC/oTD "couple" and the electrode-collection efficiency of the CTC precipitate were notably enhanced by the introduction of sodium heparin due to the formation of the CTC-heparin adduct as reported here for the first time.

Electrochemical quartz crystal impedance and fluorescence quenching studies on the binding of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-adsorbed and solution rutin with hemoglobin.

Electrochemical quartz crystal impedance (QCI) technique was utilized to monitor in situ the adsorption of rutin (RT) onto a carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-modified gold electrode and to study the binding process of solution hemoglobin (Hb) to RT immobilized on the electrode. Time courses of the QCI parameters including crystal resonant frequency were simultaneously obtained during the RT adsorption and Hb-RT binding. In contrast to the negligible RT adsorption at a bare gold electrode, the modification by CNTs notably enhanced the amount of adsorption, and almost all of the adsorbed RT molecules were found to be electroactive.
