چکیده مقاله:
ABSTRACTBackground : In order to quantify effects of ultrasound irradiation parameters under therapeutic condition, especially sonodynamic therapy, it is initially necessary to evaluate inertial cavitation activity in vitro conditions therefore, in this study, the effect of 1 MHz low level ultrasound based on °OH radicals generated by acoustic inertial cavitation in aqueous solution was monitored by their reaction with terephthalic acid (TA) to produce fluorescent 2-Hydroxyterephthalate acid (HTA) by spectrofluorometry method (Terephtalic acid dosimetry). Materials and Methods: The study was designed to measure hydroxyl radicals in a field near to 1 MHz sonotherapy probe in progressive mode and low level intensity. The effect of ultrasound irradiation parameters (1MHz) containing duty factor, mode, intensity ultrasound and, time sonication in hydroxyl radical production have been considered. After preparation of solution of dosimetry and plotting calibration curve of spectrofluorescence, the effect of mode of sonication (continuous and pulsating), duty factor (20-80%), intensity (0-2 W/cm2, with step of 0.5 W/cm2), and sonication time (0-60min with step time of 10min) without increasing temperature to more than 3°C to determine the effective exposure in low level ultrasound were evaluated. The fluorescence intensity of TA solution before and after irradiation, in all cases was measured, and the results were reported as Mean ± Standard Deviation (SD). Result : The result of experiments related to sonication mode for 1MHz ultrasound irradiation (2 W/cm2) show that continuous mode of sonication is 29% higher fluorescence intensity than the pulse mode in 80% duty cycle for sonodynamic therapy. With compensation of irradiation time for 1MHz sonication in different duty cycles, fluorescence intensity in continuous mode is 22% higher than the pulse mode in average. The amount of hydroxyl radicals production versus ultrasound intensity, and sonication time show with increasing intensity or sonication time in continuous mode, the hydroxyl radical production is linearity increased (R=0.99). Conclusion: The results show that the terephthalic acid dosimetry is suitable for detecting and quantifying free hydroxyl radical as a criterion of inertial cavitation production over a range of condition in medical ultrasound fields.

متن کاملSerum Hydroxyl Radical Scavenging Capacity as Quantified with Iron-Free Hydroxyl Radical Source
We have developed a simple ESR spin trapping based method for hydroxyl (OH) radical scavenging-capacity determination, using iron-free OH radical source. Instead of the widely used Fenton reaction, a short (typically 5 seconds) in situ UV-photolysis of a dilute hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution was employed to generate reproducible amounts of OH radicals. ESR spin trapping was applied to quant...
متن کاملCharacterization of free radical generation by xanthine oxidase. Evidence for hydroxyl radical generation.
Xanthine oxidase has been hypothesized to be an important source of biological free radical generation. The enzyme generates the superoxide radical, .O2- and has been widely applied as a .O2- generating system; however, the enzyme may also generate other forms of reduced oxygen. We have applied electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy using the spin trap 5,5'-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-ox...

Background Our objective was to examine the accuracy of intracardiac ultrasound (ICUS) measurement of left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF) using a 10-MHz ultrasound catheter. ICUS can image the LV in cross sections at all levels along the long axis with a transducer mounted on the tip of a catheter. Sequential serial LV cross-sectional images can be obtained during cardiac c...
