    Abstract: A capsule endoscope for photodynamic and sonodynamic therapy is disclosed. The capsule includes: an endoscope body; a light and ultrasonic wave irradiation portion provided on the outer surface of the endoscope body and irradiating light of different wavelengths and ultrasonic waves; and a photodynamic and sonodynamic therapy portion connected to the outer surface of the endoscope body and comprising a material for photodynamic and sonodynamic therapy, wherein the photodynamic and sonodynamic therapy portion can be activated by the light and ultrasonic waves irradiated from the light and ultrasonic wave irradiation portion. The capsule endoscope can treat local bacterial infection, or diabetes, malignant diseases, chronic colitis and the like caused by a change in the number and type of intestinal floras while passing through the body in addition to carrying out diagnosis, which is the inherent function of a capsule endoscope, and thus there is no need for additional treatment and a patient can comfortably receive therapy.

    Abstract: There are provided an apparatus and method for measuring thermal conductivity capable of easily and accurately obtaining an extent of thermal damage of a targeted tissue. The apparatus for measuring thermal conductivity in burns includes a thermal paper stacking member having a plurality of sheets of thermal paper stacked thereon to form layers, and a pressing member configured to press the stacking member so that the thermal paper is stacked and maintained in a closely adhered state. Here, an extent of thermal damage of the targeted tissue according to the depth can be calculated as an extent of thermal damage of the stacking member according to the depth.
