Abstract | Focused ultrasound (FUS) in the presence of circulating microbubbles (MBs) has been confirmed to temporarily and locally enhance the permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). However, improper FUS sonication parameters not only achieve BBB destruction (BBBD) but also induce brain damages such as intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), brain edema, transient blood-supply shortage. Therefore, it is essential to develop a real-time imaging system to assess the dynamic perfusion changes during FUS-induced BBBD process. Here, we proposed a high-frequency microultrasound imaging system with sigmoid-based destruction and replenishment (D/R) technique for the observation of brain microcirculation changes after performing BBBD with or without hemorrhage. The BBB was disrupted by a 2.25-MHz FUS probe with acoustic pressure of 0.5 MPa and 0.7 MPa (for without and with hemorrhage group, respectively), pulse repetition frequency of 1 Hz, pulse length of 1 ms, and sonication duration of 60 s following intravenous injection of MBs. The results showed that the velocity of blood flow decreased after BBBD. The location of slowing down of the local flow velocity was consistent with the BBBD area and also the local enhanced permeability region detected by MR Ktrans imaging. In addition, the variation of blood flow depended on the applied acoustic pressure, and the position where flow velocity became particularly slow was associated with the occurrence of hemorrhage. In conclusion, our proposed ultrasound D/R imaging technique provides a useful tool for monitoring both the region and degree of BBBD and the presence of hemorrhage during BBBD process. This novel method provides an immediate feedback for the control of BBBD and avoiding or minimizing bioeffect in the future. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
