Enteric microorganism collecting capsule

Abstract

The invention discloses an enteric microorganism collecting capsule which comprises a capsule wall and a capsule cavity formed in the capsule wall. A liquid flowing channel penetrating through the capsule wall is formed in the capsule wall, and a first enteric assembly is arranged in the liquid flowing channel to close the liquid flowing channel; a piston with a line bolt on one side is arranged in the capsule cavity in the direction perpendicular to the capsule, and the piston is arranged below the liquid flowing channel. A spring is arranged between the side, connected with the line bolt, of the piston and the inner wall of the capsule; a limiting line is connected end to end to form a closed ring, one end of the limiting line is wound around the line bolt, and the other end of the limiting line penetrates through the spring and the capsule wall and is fixed in a second enteric assembly located outside the capsule wall and closely connected with one end of the capsule wall. An enteric microorganism collecting system comprises one or more enteric microorganism collecting capsules. The enteric microorganism collecting capsule is simple in structure, convenient to use and good in intestinal juice collecting effect, fully meets clinical and scientific research needs, and has wide application prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a container specially used for medicine or medical purpose, more specifically to a capsule and a collection system for intestinal microorganism collection. Background technique [0002] Research into the microbial ecology of the gastrointestinal tract has been progressing steadily, but slowly, over the past century. Recent findings have linked gut microbes to a variety of diseases, including IBD, obesity, and malnutrition. However, there have been few comprehensive studies of gut microbiome samples from large healthy populations. One reason is that it is extremely difficult to comprehensively collect intestinal microbial samples from healthy people. Some theories suggest that "healthy" individuals must have a stable intestinal microbial ecological balance, but there are also significant differences in the ecology between individuals. Therefore, there is currently a lack of a definition of "normal" or "healthy" intesti...
