Effect of high energy shock waves on tumor cells

Urological Research, 1990
Exposure of bladder tumor cell strain HT-1197, chronic bonemarrow leukemic cell strain K-562, and African green-turtle normal kidney cell strain Vero to high energy shock waves resulted in ultrastructural changes and a reduction in cell viability as determined by 3H-thymidine incorporation assay and flowcytometer.

Use of high-energy shock waves for bone cement removal

The Journal of Arthroplasty, 1990
The revision rate of total hip arthroplasty has increased dramatically over recent years, leading to different methods of extraction of the femoral cement mantle to reduce operative time and surgical risks. The use of high-energy shock waves produced by the Dornier HM.3 Lithotripter to interrupt the cement-bone interface and to reduce the material ...

Cellular Effects of Piezoelectric Versus Electrohydraulic High Energy Shock Waves

Journal of Urology, 1992
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 ...

Effects of high-energy shock waves onmurine renal cell carcinoma

Urology, 1991
The effects of high-energy shock waves (HESW) on a murine renal cell carcinoma (RenCa) was investigated. In vitro exposure of tumor cells to HESW resulted in a dose-dependent reduction in cell viability as determined by trypan blue dye exclusion, plating efficiency, growth curve, and soft agar clonogenic assays.

Shock wave generated by high-energy electric spark discharge

Journal of Applied Physics, 2014
Shock wave generated by electric spark discharge was studied experimentally and the shock wave energy was evaluated in this paper. A pressure measurement system was established to study the pressure field of the electric spark discharge process. A series of electric spark discharge experiments were carried out and the energy of the electric spark used ...

Biological Effects Produced by High-Energy Shock Waves

2010
High-energy shock waves are known to produce a wide range of bioeffects associated with their clinical applications. In shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), which is the most successful application of shock waves in clinical medicine for noninvasive disintegration of kidney and upper urinary stones, transient hematuria, hematoma, and temporary deterioration ...

Effects of High-Energy Shock Waves on Testes of Wistar Rats

Journal of Endourology, 1993
The effects of high-energy shock wave (HESW) on testes are still unknown. We investigated Wistar rats at 3 months of age for morphologic and functional changes in the testes and in serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), progesterone (Prog), and testosterone (T).

Effects of high-energy shock waves on the viable human kidney

Urological Research, 1993
Between September 1990 and July 1991, we treated 17 patients with renal-cell carcinoma by radical nephrectomy and two patients with urothelial carcinoma of the kidney pelvis by ureteronephrectomy. Immediately after nephrectomy, perfusion of the kidneys with cold HTK solution was performed and the organs were kept in hypothermia of 8 degrees C.

High-Energy Shock Wave Treatment of Femoral Head Necrosis in Adults

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2001
Adults with Stages I to III osteonecrosis of the femoral head present an overall therapeutic challenge. The objective of the current prospective study was to show the effectiveness of high-energy shock wave therapy in treatment of patients with Association Research Circulation Osseous Stage I to Stage III necrosis of the femoral head by assessing ...

Effect of High Energy Shock Waves on Human Spermatozoa in vitro

European Urology, 1988
We investigated the effect of high energy shock waves on human spermatozoa in vitro. Human semen samples of proven motility, kept in polyethylene tubes, were subjected to shock waves (100, 500, and 1,000) using a HM3 Dornier lithotripter. A progressive decrease in the spermatozoa vitality was observed with increasing doses of shock waves.
