Abstract | We previously demonstrated that it was feasible to induce both transient and sustained blood flow reductions in mouse tumors using microbubbles and low intensity ultrasound. In the present study this phenomenon is investigated further, by assessing the signals emitted from bubbles subjected to treatment pulses, and by examining the potential for inducing therapeutic effects in tumors. Subcutaneous xenograft tumors were situated in the hind limbs of mice and exposed to 1 MHz (740 kPa) pulsed ultrasound following a bolus injection of $Definity^{™}$ microbubbles. Bubble emissions were monitored with a 750 kHz detection transducer co-localized with the transmit transducer beam within the tumors. The results showed the presence of distinct sub- and ultraharmonic peaks, along with substantial levels of broadband emissions, consistent with the occurence of inertial cavitation. The ability to induce these signals diminished with time, but they continued to be produced up to 45 minutes after injection, well after bubbles were undetectable with imaging. Therapeutic effects were evaluated by comparing growth curves of control and treated tumors. With a therapy scheme involving weekly treatment exposures, a significant growth delay was observed in treated relative to control tumors, suggesting the potential of this approach for therapeutic applications. Both short and long term flow modifications may have implications for US potentiated local drug enhancement. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
