Single Cell Surgery with Monodispersed Microbubbles Generated by a Pulsed Discharge of Microelectric Knife
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have successfully operated enucleation of oocyte by using microelectric knife without any thermal collateral damage. Minimally-invasive cellular-scale ablation was achieved by the mono-dispersed microbubbles which were generated by a pulse discharge of microelectrode. The discharged output power and conductive area of microelectrode were controlled by glass shell insulation around the copper microwire. A small space which is called “bubble reservoir” between the wire and glass tip contributes to stabilize the electric discharge and directional bubble generation.

Optimization of Non-volatile Memory Cell and Energy Consumption in Robot Systems by Synthesized Silicon Nanoparticles via Electrical Discharge
In this paper, we propose to optimize manufacturing methods of memory cells by produced silicon nanoparticles via electrical spark discharge of silicon electrodes in water to reduce the energy consumption for low power applications. The pulsed spark discharge with the peak current of 60 A and a duration of a single discharge pulse of 60 µs was used in our experiment. The structure, morphology, ...
متن کاملTHE BEST DURATION OF LOW INTENSITY PULSED ULTRASOUND FOR ACCELERATING FRACTURED-RADIAL BONE REPAIR
We have already shown that low intensity pulsed ultrasonic treatment increases rabbit radial fracture healing. The present experiment was undertaken to find out the best duration for treatment. A complete transverse fracture was made in the right radial bones of21 adult male rabbits by a Stanley knife. The animals were divided into 4 groups: group 1, control groups 2, 3, and 4, experimental...
متن کاملMicrobubble generation by microplasma in water
A microscale plasma and a spherical microscale bubble were generated by the application of a single pulsed discharge in water with no pre-existing bubble. The microscale corona discharges were created at the tip of a microelectrode by applying a voltage at around −11 kV with a rise time of around 20 ns. The energy inputs for microplasma generation were controlled by varying the durations of the...
متن کاملAngioma serpiginosum successfully treated by a single session of intense pulsed light therapy
Angioma serpiginosum (AS) is a nevoid capillary malformation developed congenitally or thereafter. The AS stops growing after puberty and may remain persistent throughout life. The pulsed dye laser (PDL) and KTP are used to treat the AS usually after several sessions. We treated a patient with AS with only one session of intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy. A 40-year-old lady with Fitzpatrick sk...
متن کاملPulsed electromagnetic field at frequency and intensity resembling potassium ion cyclotron resonance selectively impairs breast cancer cell through apoptosis
Introduction: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common women cancer worldwide. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the two common treatment options but these techniques suffer low selectivity and adverse effects on surrounding normal tissues. Non- ionizing pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) in ultra-narrow band frequency and intensity have shown anticancer effects. Changing potas...
