摘要
Human red blood cells (RBCs) in vitro at various fractional hematocrits (HCTs) were exposed for 60-120 seconds in a dialysis tubing vessel to 1 MHz continuous wave ultrasound (0-5 W/cm2 SPTA intensity); exposure vessels were either rotated at 200 rpm or stationary. Some RBC suspensions also contained Albunex(R) (ALX; a commercially-produced microbubble clinical ultrasound contrast agent) at final concentrations ranging from 0-41 muL/mL RBC suspension. Isonation was either by one transducer or by two opposing, continuously-gated, balanced transducers. For the vessel rotation/no rotation experiments, ultrasound-induced cell lysis was always increased with the ALX regimen relative to that of the no-ALX regimen at HCTs up to about 10%; at higher HCTs (including whole blood), ultrasound-induced hemolysis essectially ceased to occur. The data are consistent with reports of the ineffectiveness of continuous wave ultrasound at 3-5 W/cm2 to lyse cells in vitro at physiological cell densities with or without echo-contrast medium supplementation.
