3D printing will be directly applied to the medical field

Now 3D printing is nothing new. From mechanical parts to buses and airplanes, from Dubai, the world's first 3D printing office to Beijing's double-decker 3D printing villa, 3D printing has more and more results. Recently, some scientists have taken a different approach and turned their attention to the medical field.

3D printing will be directly applied to the medical field

A few days ago, members of the "3D for Everyone" club at the University of California, Los Angeles designed and produced 3D upper limb prostheses for the amputated little boy, realizing a basketball dream for him. The shape of the upper limb prosthesis fits perfectly with the requirements of playing basketball: it has only three fingers, and each fingertip is covered with an eraser to better capture the basketball and throw the correct lower spin during the shooting. The little boy wore a prosthetic shot and scored 17 goals and both were long-range three-pointers. It is reported that the research team has been designing and manufacturing 3D printed prostheses for amputees and giving them to them free of charge. Moreover, 3D printed prostheses are thousands of dollars cheaper than custom prosthetics.

In addition to being directly applied to medical devices, 3D printing results can be combined with other technologies to play a greater role.

Recently, scientists at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a low-cost 3D printing device that can quickly detect Zika virus. It is reported that this 3D printing detection device is only the size of the can, and the cost is only 2 US dollars. Moreover, it does not require electricity or professional technicians, and the patient only needs to provide a sample of saliva. When genetic analysis detects the presence of a virus, the color-changeable fuel in the device will turn blue. At present, the only recognized Zika virus detection method requires highly sensitive laboratory equipment, which is very inconvenient. Therefore, diagnostic tools that can be used in the wild have become a key to people's victory over Zika virus outbreaks. And 3D printing technology makes it possible.

If you think Zika virus is too far away, then this 3D printing eye exam tool may be available in everyday life. An eye care company in New Zealand has designed two 3D printing products that are specifically designed for use on smartphones for retinal examination of the front of the eye. They are essentially small 3D printed clips that can be attached to the lens of a mobile phone. The product is equipped with a special lens and a variable optical filter that turns the phone into a front-end microscope that displays high-resolution images of the first 1/3 of the eye to capture acute corneal lesions. The product is small in size and costs only 1/100 of the current eye care equipment.

3D printing technology makes the future full of possibilities, and its application in the medical field brings new hope to people.

Double Packed Yellow Waxy Corn Cob

The most common waxy and sweet corn market, waxy corn nutrient content is higher than ordinary corn, contains 70-75% starch (and almost all amylose), more than 10% protein, 4-5% fat and 2% multivitamin, has more grain, VA, VB1, VB2 than rice protein, fat and VB2 highest content. Yellow corn also contains carotenoids like rice and wheat. The molecular weight of glutinous corn starch is more than 10 times smaller than that of ordinary corn. The starch makes glutinous rice sticky and soft, which is softer than that of ordinary hard corn. It has more than 20 percent more digestibility than regular corn and is suitable for people with irregular teeth. At the same time, the amylose (a polysaccharide) content is very high, not suitable for diabetics.

Waxy corn is also called sticky corn. The grain has a coarse, waxy endosperm that resembles a glossy, transparent grain, such as a hard, dented corn. Its chemical and physical properties are controlled by a recessive gene located on chromosome 9. 100% of the starch in the endosperm is amylose.
