Selective depletion of tumor neovasculature by microbubble destruction with appropriate ultrasound pressure
Low-intensity ultrasound-microbubble (LIUS-MB) treatment is a promising antivascular therapy for tumors. We sought to determine whether LIUS-MB treatment with an appropriate ultrasound pressure could achieve substantial and persistent cessation of tumor perfusion without having significant effects on normal tissue. Further, we investigated the mechanisms underlying this treatment. Murine S-180 ...
متن کاملAugmentation of transgenic expression by ultrasound-mediated liposome microbubble destruction
Non-invasive, efficient and tissue-specific transgenic technologies could be valuable in gene therapy. Although non-viral carriers may be safer and cheaper, they have a much lower transfection efficiency than viral gene carriers. The present study was designed to test the transgenic expression and safety of red fluorescent protein (RFP) in HeLa cells in vitro and in transplanted tumors of nude ...
متن کاملMyocardial delivery of colloid nanoparticles using ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction.
AIMS Ultrasound (US)-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) is a promising method for delivering genetic material to the heart. The aim of this study was: (i) to test whether colloid nanoparticles can be delivered to the rat myocardium using UTMD; and (ii) to determine whether tissue damage and contractile dysfunction occurs in hearts exposed to UTMD in vivo. METHODS AND RESULTS Hearts from ...
متن کاملStimulation of arteriogenesis in skeletal muscle by microbubble destruction with ultrasound.
BACKGROUND The application of ultrasound to microbubbles in skeletal muscle creates capillary ruptures. We tested the hypothesis that this bioeffect could be used to stimulate the growth and remodeling of new arterioles via natural repair processes, resulting in an increase in skeletal muscle nutrient blood flow. METHODS AND RESULTS Pulsed ultrasound (1 MHz) was applied to exposed rat gracili...
متن کاملDetection of Microbubble Ultrasound Contrast Agent Destruction Applied to Definity
For different applications such as imaging, drug delivery and tissue perfusion measurement, it is necessary to know the inertial cavitation (IC) threshold of ultrasonic contrast agent (UCA) microbubbles. The IC threshold for Definity R © was determined using a passive cavitation detection (PCD) system. The IC threshold criterion was rebound. The incident ultrasonic field at a constant pulse rep...
