The ultrasound-assisted transport of drugs or fluorophore-loaded nanoagents plays an important role in the desirable drug delivery and imaging contrasts. Unlike conventional ultrasound techniques that rely on thermal or cavitation effects, this study aims to conduct an experimental investigation into the dynamics of interstitial fluid streaming and tissue recovery in chicken breast and porcine loin muscle tissues during and after ultrasound exposures, which has not been experimentally investigated in the literature. Biological tissues consist of both a fluid and a solid matrix, and an ultrasound beam compresses the tissues within a small focal volume from all directions, which generates macroscopic streaming of interstitial fluid and compression of the tissue's solid matrix. After the ultrasonic exposure, the solid matrix undergoes recovery, leading to a backflow of the fluid matrix. Temperature-insensitive sulforhodamine-101 encapsulated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles with an average diameter size of 175 nm were locally injected into chicken breast and porcine loin muscle tissues to study the ultrasound-induced dynamics in the tissues during and after ultrasound exposure by analyzing the distribution of fluorescence. The changes in fluorescence over time caused by the streaming and backflow of interstitial fluid were studied with two tissue models, and a faster recovery was observed in porcine tissues compared with chicken tissues. The ultrasound-induced transportability of the nanoagent in porcine muscle tissues was much higher (∼8.75 times) than in chicken breast tissue likely due to structural differences. The study reveals a promising, non-invasive strategy for enhancing drug delivery in dense tissues by leveraging mechanical ultrasound effects, potentially advancing therapeutic and diagnostic applications.
超声辅助的药物或负载荧光团的纳米制剂的传输在理想的药物递送和成像造影中起着重要作用。与依赖热效应或空化效应的传统超声技术不同,本研究旨在对鸡胸肉和猪里脊肉组织在超声暴露期间及之后的组织间液流动动力学和组织恢复情况进行实验研究,而这在文献中尚未有过实验研究。生物组织由流体和固体基质组成,超声束从各个方向压缩小焦点体积内的组织,这会产生组织间液的宏观流动和组织固体基质的压缩。超声暴露后,固体基质会恢复,导致流体基质的回流。将平均直径为175 nm的温度不敏感型磺基罗丹明-101封装的聚(乳酸-乙醇酸)纳米颗粒局部注射到鸡胸肉和猪里脊肉组织中,通过分析荧光分布来研究超声暴露期间及之后组织中超声诱导的动力学。用两种组织模型研究了由组织间液流动和回流引起的荧光随时间的变化,并且观察到猪组织比鸡组织恢复得更快。由于结构差异,超声诱导的纳米制剂在猪肌肉组织中的传输能力比鸡胸肉组织高得多(约8.75倍)。该研究揭示了一种有前景的非侵入性策略,即通过利用机械超声效应来增强致密组织中的药物递送,这可能会推动治疗和诊断应用的发展。
