title: A transfer efficiency model for ultrasound mediated drug/gene transferring into cells.
abstract: Ultrasound is a very promising technology to mediated drug/gene transferring into cells. However the relations between cell experimental conditions and results have been still unknown. It seriously impeded the development of the technology. In the article, a transfer efficiency model for ultrasound mediated drug/gene transferring into cells in stable cavitation was constructed. To testify the model, the numerical results were compared with the cell experimental data from six literatures in the entirely different experimental conditions. The numerical results fit the cell experimental data well. Despite simplifications and limitations, the model for the first time established the relationship between the cell experimental results about transfer efficiency and the conditions including ultrasound, microbubble and cells in stable cavitation.
