Ultrasound can penetrate deeply into tissues and can be focused into a small region of a tumor to activate a sonosensitizer which offers the possibility of non-invasively eradicating solid tumors in a site-directed manner.In this article, we critically reviewed the currently accepted mechanisms of sonodynamic action and summarized the classification of sonosensitizers. At the same time, the breath of evidence from SDT-based studies suggests that SDT is promising for cancer treatment.展开更多

Serum levels of oxidative stress indexes, liver function indexes and liver fibrosis indexes were compared between two groups of patients before and after treatment.Results:Before treatment, there were no significant differences in serum oxidative stress indexes, liver function indexes and liver fibrosis indexes between two groups of patients. 3 months after treatment, serum oxidative stress index SOD level in observation group was higher than that in control group while AOPPs level was lower than that in control group;serum liver function indexes AST, ALT and TBIL levels in observation group were lower than those in control group while ALB level was higher than that in control group;serum liver fibrosis indexes HA,Ⅳ-C, PCIII and LN levels in observation group were lower than those in control group.Conclusion:Antiviral drugs combined with antioxidant therapy can significantly reduce oxidative stress injury in patients with chronic hepatitis B cirrhosis so as to protect the liver function and inhibit the liver fibrosis process.展开更多
