title: Cellular effects of piezoelectric versus electrohydraulic high energy shock waves.
abstract: High energy shock waves produced by a piezoelectric lithotripter, (EDAP LT.01) and an electrohydraulic lithotripter, (Dornier HM3) were examined for their effects on Chinese hamster ovary cells in suspension. The EDAP caused acute lactate dehydrogenase release, consistent with severe membrane disruption in a proportion of cells, with the remaining proportion of cells replicating normally as measured by clonogenic assay. Similarly, the Dornier also caused lactate dehydrogenase release. However, a significant proportion of cells which remained "viable" after Dornier treatment, (intact to lactate dehydrogenase), did not replicate by clonogenic assay. The Dornier HM3 lithotripter has been reported to produce free radicals in aqueous solution. In the current investigation, we could not detect significant free radical formation from the EDAP LT.01. Chinese hamster ovary cell killing by the Dornier HM3 was significantly augmented by radiosensitizers, 5-iodo-2-deoxyuridine or buthionine sulfoximine, while radioprotectors cysteamine and WR-1065 had no protective effect. EDAP cell killing was not influenced by either radioprotectors or radiosensitizers. The mechanism of in vitro cytotoxicity differs between piezoelectric and electrohydraulic high energy shock wave delivery.
