Boosting high-intensity focused ultrasound-induced anti-tumor immunity using a sparse-scan strategy that can more effectively promote dendritic cell maturation.
(J Transl Med, 2010-01-27)BACKGROUND: The conventional treatment protocol in high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy utilizes a dense-scan strategy to produce closely packed thermal lesions aiming at eradicating as much tumor mass as possible. ... -
Displacement of particles in microfluidics by laser-generated tandem bubbles.
(Appl Phys Lett, 2010-11-01)The dynamic interaction between laser-generated tandem bubble and individual polystyrene particles of 2 and 10 μm in diameter is studied in a microfluidic channel (25 μm height) by high-speed imaging and particle ... -
Effect of lithotripter focal width on stone comminution in shock wave lithotripsy.
(J Acoust Soc Am, 2010-04)Using a reflector insert, the original HM-3 lithotripter field at 20 kV was altered significantly with the peak positive pressure (p(+)) in the focal plane increased from 49 to 87 MPa while the -6 dB focal width decreased ... -
Improving the lens design and performance of a contemporary electromagnetic shock wave lithotripter.
(Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2014-04-01)The efficiency of shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), a noninvasive first-line therapy for millions of nephrolithiasis patients, has not improved substantially in the past two decades, especially in regard to stone clearance. ... -
M-HIFU inhibits tumor growth, suppresses STAT3 activity and enhances tumor specific immunity in a transplant tumor model of prostate cancer.
(PLoS One, 2012)OBJECTIVE: In this study, we explored the use of mechanical high intensity focused ultrasound (M-HIFU) as a neo-adjuvant therapy prior to surgical resection of the primary tumor. We also investigated the role of signal transducer ... -
Optimization of treatment strategy used during shockwave lithotripsy to maximize stone fragmentation efficiency.
(J Endourol, 2011-09)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Previous studies have demonstrated that treatment strategy plays a critical role in ensuring maximum stone fragmentation during shockwave lithotripsy (SWL). We aimed to develop an optimal treatment ...
