Core Tip

Core Tip: There are many types of hormones and their contents are extremely small (mostly in the range of nanograms and even picograms).They are neither the energy source of the body nor structural substances of the human body. However, they play essential roles in coordinating physiological processes such as metabolism and growth/development by transmitting information. Research on the changes in gastrin before and after the use of MS series of small intestine endoscope can provide theoretical support for the safe application of small intestine endoscopes.
