Abstract(in English) Recently, it has been reported that activation of contrast agent gas bodies by ultrasound exposure can damage the cell membrane. To elucidate mechanisms of such cell damage, we improved an high-speed and high-magnification observation system using a new high-speed camera and an inverted microscope. microbubbles of 3 to several tens microns in diameter were exposed to 1 MHz or 250 kHz ultrasound, and their dynamic behaviors were observed in 24-frame sequential high-speed photographs at the maximum frame rate of 8 million frames per second. Typical movements of a bubble, such as rapid contraction resulting in destruction of the microbubble and non-uniform contraction accompanied with generation of a small stream, were observed. To study the possibility that these bubble movements can cause cell damage, bovine arterial endothelial cells and microbubbles were exposed to ultrasound. Non-uniform contraction of a microbubble and deformation of the cell beside the bubble were observed. It was suggested that a small stream generated by non-uniform contraction of a bubble could cause mechanical damage to a cell.
