چکیده انگلیسی
Bubble-seeded histotripsy (BSH) is a newly developed ultrasound-based mechanical fractionation technique using locally injected phase change nanodroplets (PCNDs) as sensitizers. The PCNDs are a kind of microbubble precursor compressed into submicron-size in droplets form, which were designed for local administration and will expand into microbubbles under ultrasound exposure. Previously, we reported that a combination of PCNDs injection and pulsed high-intensity focused ultrasound (pHIFU) with an acoustic intensity as low as about 3 kW/cm2 at 1.1âMHz, which is similar to the acoustic intensity of currently available HIFU coagulation therapy, was enough to induce tissue fractionation after significant antitumor effects in an in vivo study. Toward therapeutic application of BSH to deep-seated tissues such as the pancreas, the transluminal approach, using endoscopic ultrasound was thought to be ideal. Therefore, for a preliminary examination, we developed a new transducer with a small aperture (20-âÃâ20-mm square) and long focal length (35âmm), operating at 2.1âMHz that could be attached to an EUS-mimicking probe. With the newly developed transducer and locally injected PCNDs, predictable tissue mechanical fractionation was observed in both ex vivo and in vivo studies at acoustic intensities that were too low to induce any significant bioeffects (around 4 kW/cm2) without using PCNDs. For in situ monitoring of the treatment site during a procedure, the degree of attenuation of microbubble motions after exposing the microbubbles to pHIFU was monitored, using ultrafast echographic imaging. Microbubble movements were observed to be largest at 25-30âs after pHIFU exposure. On the contrary, after 40âs, the movement of microbubbles decreased to the same level as at the start of the procedure, suggesting that an overdose of pHIFU exposure causes coagulation attributable to the thermal effect caused by absorption of the energy. Those results were promising for expanding the application of BSH for a transluminal approach, using a small transducer under real-time monitoring.
