Background: Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are the foundation of spermatogenesis. New procedure such as sound wave especially low intensity ultrasound (LIUS) can be effective on increasing the number of cells. In this study we investigated the effect of LIUS stimulation on mouse SSCs. Materials and Methods: Isolated SSCs from neonate mice cultured in DMEM culture medium with 10% fetal bovine ...

patients with severe angina pectoris for the first time.5,6 In addition, low-energy SW therapy improves the walking ability of patients with PAD and intermittent claudication.7 Ultrasound, another type of acoustic wave, is widely used for ultrasound diagnostic devices and also applied clinically at high intensity to tumor ablation, related mainly to its thermal effect. Recently, low-intensity p...

OBJECTIVE To determine if the application of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) therapy has a positive effect over the cartilage repair, functional status and reduction of pain in patients with grade 2 or 3 osteoarthrosis of the knee. DESIGN This trial was an observational, before and after study without a control group, in which 10 patients (eleven knees) were studied. We applied LIPUS ...

BACKGROUND Low-intensity physiotherapeutic ultrasound has been used in physical therapy clinics; however, there remain some scientific issues regarding the bone-healing process. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of low-intensity physiotherapeutic ultrasound on the initial stage of bone healing in rats. METHODS Twenty-two male adult rats were assessed quantitatively ...

of drugs is enhanced due to the drug being more charged inside the cell through these stomas (Figure 1). Particularly because cancer cells definitely have more fragile cellular membranes compared with normal cells, the formation of stomas or lacunars is most likely to happen with low-intensity ultrasound [3,4]. Furthermore, it has become clear that the concomitant therapy of anti-angiogenesis d...
