Low intensity pulsed ultrasound is used in the clinical treatment of fractures and other osseous defects. Level I clinical studies demonstrate the ability of a specific ultrasound signal (1.5 MHz ultrasound pulsed at 1 kHz, 20% duty cycle, 30 mW/cm(2) intensity (SATA)) to accelerate the healing time in fresh tibia, radius and scaphoid fractures by up to 40%. Additionally, the same ultrasound si...

objective: this study presents an efficient, cost-effective method to improve proliferation and colonization of spermatogonial stem cells (sscs) in vitro. methods: isolated sscs from neonate mice were cultured in dmem culture medium with 10% fetal bovine serum (fbs). in the first phase of the study, the temperature was controlled by low intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation (lipus) of the pla...

BACKGROUND Low-intensity pulsed ultrasonography (LIPUS) is a form of mechanical stimulation that is delivered via a special device to the fracture site for the acceleration of fracture healing. We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the effect of LIPUS for fresh fractures in adults. METHODS MEDLINE, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library searched between Jan 1980 and Nov 2016. Studies should be quas...

INTRODUCTION: Many trauma surgeries and reconstructive surgeries involve re-establishment of a bone-tendon (B-T) junction, such as repair of patella fractures. In case of comminuted patella fractures, partial patellectomy has become a option of surgical repair . But direct B-T junction repair is slow due to poor regenerative capability of its junctional fibrocartilage zone. Biophysical interven...
