Abstract: There is provided a method of detecting an analyte in a sample, the method comprising: incubating said sample with a reporter agent to allow said reporter agent to bind to said analyte, if present, in said sample; applying the incubated sample to a cellulose substrate to allow said analyte that is bound to said reporter agent to be captured onto said cellulose substrate by a capture agent comprising a cellulose binding domain (CBD), wherein said capture agent is: (i) incubated with said sample prior to the applying step; and/or (ii) immobilised on said cellulose substrate prior to the applying step; and detecting a signal effected by the reporter agent to determine the presence or absence of said analyte. There is also provided related systems and methods of identifying an infection and detecting an antibody against an infection in a subject, in particular SARS-Cov-2 via lateral flow or vertical flow assays.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image processing method including steps of obtaining a plurality of sets of training data, each set of training data containing data of first and second images, image quality of the second image being higher than that of the first image, shooting contents of the first image being the same model, letting the data of the first image be an input of the model, and utilizing the plurality of sets of training data to train the model until a difference feature value between an output of the model and the data of the second image is minimum; and inputting data of a third image to be processed into the model so as to output data of a fourth image after image enhancement, image quality of the fourth image being higher than that of the third image.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of medical devices, and relates to an electrophysiological test method for an auditory brainstem implant (ABI) and a recording electrode used therein. According to the method of the present invention, there is no need to subcutaneously place an additional recording electrode for a patient, which simplifies preoperative preparation. Moreover, the method has advantages of a high signal-to-noise ratio, a fast response speed, a short recording time, and a large anti-interference ability, thus can effectively improve efficiency of intraoperative electrode test. The method is suitable for use in an auditory brainstem implantation surgery. Besides, the present invention enables the auditory brainstem implantation to be located more accurately, thereby expanding a scope of application.
