Microbubble-Mediated Sonothrombolysis Improves Outcome After Thrombotic Microembolism-Induced Acute Ischemic Stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Microthrombi originating from disintegrated clots or formed in situ may account for the poor clinical improvement of acute ischemic stroke after recanalization therapy. We attempted to determine whether microbubble-mediated sonothrombolysis could dissolve platelet-rich and erythrocyte-rich microthrombi, thereby reducing their brain injury-causing potential. METHODS Plat...
متن کاملOptimization of ultrasound parameters for microbubble-nanoliposome complex-mediated delivery
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to identify the optimal ultrasound (US) parameters for gene and drug delivery. METHODS In order to target SkBr3, which is a breast cancer cell overexpressing the Her2 receptor, trastuzumab (Herceptin) was used. Micobubble-nanoliposome complex (MLC) was mixed with trastuzumab and stored overnight. Finally, MLC was combined with Her2Ab. A US device equipped wit...

Developing intergenerational connections in Manchester Looking back Looking forward 0 Although we may not use the term, all of us enter into intergenerational relationships. As parents, grandparents, children, politicians even, our lives revolve around mutual support and care. The sharing of knowledge and expertise between the generations is the hallmark of healthy, sustainable communities, cre...
متن کاملLooking Forward, Looking Back
I take the reins of IEEE Internet Computing after 10 years of the magazine's existence, and a crazy 10 years it has been — if not for the magazine itself, then for the Internet. With my first column as editor in chief, I'd like to look back at the past decade and how the magazine has evolved along with the Internet. I picked the column heading, All Systems Go, to highlight one of these evolutio...
متن کاملAdvances in Ultrasound Mediated Gene Therapy Using Microbubble Contrast Agents
Microbubble ultrasound contrast agents have the potential to dramatically improve gene therapy treatments by enhancing the delivery of therapeutic DNA to malignant tissue. The physical response of microbubbles in an ultrasound field can mechanically perturb blood vessel walls and cell membranes, enhancing drug permeability into malignant tissue. In this review, we discuss literature that provid...
