title: Effects of thrombolysis with ultrasound on the structure of erythrocyte and its safety threshold.
abstract: The study was to investigate thrombolysis in vivo with ultrasound, and to discuss effects of thrombolysis with ultrasound on the structure of erythrocyte and its safety threshold, under different ultrasound intensity and exposure time. The structure of erythrocyte in thrombus was evaluated under light microscope. The relationship between the structure of erythrocyte in thrombus and ultrasound intensity and exposure time was obtained. The results showed that ultrasound eliminated the thrombus. According to the change of the structure of erythrocyte in thrombus and ultrasound intensity and exposure time, the effects of thrombolysis with ultrasound could be divided into three kinds of areas: the A, B, C area. The area A was the safe area, the area B was the relatively safe area, and the area C was the irreversible damage area. The study suggested that ultrasound intensity and exposure time had significant impact on the structure of erythrocyte. Too much ultrasound intensity or too long exposure time could cause erythrocytes irreversible damaged. It could accelerate thrombolysis and shorten the exposure time that the ultrasound intensity was little bit increased. This study of effects of thrombolysis with ultrasound on the structure of erythrocyte and its safety threshold were important for practical applications.
