Abstract
The diagnosis of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases currently relies primarily on invasive procedures like digestive endoscopy. However, these procedures can cause discomfort, respiratory issues, and bacterial infections in patients, both during and after the examination. In recent years, nanomedicine has emerged as a promising field, providing significant advancements in diagnostic techniques. Nanoprobes, in particular, offer distinct advantages, such as high specificity and sensitivity in detecting GI diseases. Integration of nanoprobes with advanced imaging techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, optical fluorescence imaging, tomography, and optical correlation tomography, has significantly enhanced the detection capabilities for GI tumors and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This synergy enables early diagnosis and precise staging of GI disorders. Among the nanoparticles investigated for clinical applications, superparamagnetic iron oxide, quantum dots, single carbon nanotubes, and nanocages have emerged as extensively studied and utilized agents. This review aimed to provide insights into the potential applications of nanoparticles in modern imaging techniques, with a specific focus on their role in facilitating early and specific diagnosis of a range of GI disorders, including IBD and colorectal cancer (CRC). Additionally, we discussed the challenges associated with the implementation of nanotechnology-based GI diagnostics and explored future prospects for translation in this promising field.

Abstract
Due to the high demand for clean, economic, and recyclable energy, phase change materials (PCMs) have received significant attention in recent years. To improve the performance of PCMs, they are confined in micro- and nano-capsules composed of organic or inorganic materials. In this study, encapsulated phase change material (EPCM) systems were constructed with paraffin molecules as the core material and capped carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the shell. We investigated the effects of different parameters including CNT diameter, length, and chirality and the length of the alkane molecule chain. We also investigated metal nanocluster-enhanced PCM systems via the addition of Cu, Ag, and Al clusters to the EPCM systems. Different thermodynamic, dynamic, and structural properties including configurational energy, melting range, mean square displacement, self-diffusion coefficient, radial distribution function (RDF), and average end-to-end distance of the confined molecules were examined. We also investigated the effect of metal doping in CNT on the different properties of the confined PCM. The results indicated that a longer CNT has a lower melting point than the normal CNT system. It was also observed that the bigger (30,0) CNT, (14,14) armchair CNT, and icosane systems have higher melting ranges than the normal (25,0) system. The metal cluster systems also have a lower starting melting point than the normal system. Furthermore, it was found that the Al cluster system has the lowest starting melting point among the studied systems. Nanocluster enhanced PCM and metal doped CNT PCM systems have lower melting points than the normal system.![]()
