The aim of the present study was to develop and investigate the feasibility of delivering Nebivolol as a transdermal patch by iontophoresis. The passive and electrically assisted transdermal delivery of Nebivolol hydrochloride by iontophoresis will improve the therapeutic efficacy and overcome the difficulties raised in oral drug delivery. Because of its extensive hepatic metabolism and low dos...

We investigated the photochemical stability of an electro-optic (EO) polymer under laser irradiation at 1310nm to reveal photodegradation mechanisms. It was found that one-photon absorption excitation assisted with thermal energy temperature is involved in process, contrast our previous studies a wavelength 1550nm where two-photon process. Thus, both and strongly affect degradation mechanism. I...

Routine examinations with an electroreiinogram (ERG) were performed on a large number of patients. The results are discussed in those areas where the ERG aided in diagnosis, contributed to the understanding of a disease, or assisted in following the course of a disease. The electro-oculogram (EOG) as an adjunct to the ERG is also discussed. Mention is made of the few diseases which may be detec...

In this study, soft hydrogel walkers with electro-driven motility for cargo transport have been developed via a facile mould-assisted strategy. The hydrogel walkers consisting of polyanionic poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid-co-acrylamide) exhibit an arc looper-like shape with two "legs" for walking. The hydrogel walkers can reversibly bend and stretch via repeated "on/off" electro...

An ultrasonic vibration has been superposed on the normal electrode movement to increase the flushing effect during a micro electro-discharge machining (EDM) process. A systematic study on the effects of ultrasonic vibration on the EDM performance for fabricating microholes in Nitinol has been completed. The introduction of ultrasonic vibration to the microEDM process has more than 60 times inc...
