Summary: | Application of ultrasound changes skin permeability. The change of skin permeability is affected by nonthermal actions and thermal actions. However, the studies about nonthermal actions have not been reported sufficiently. In the present study, we examined whether nonthermal effects of ultrasound would enhance water molecules transport through the excised frog abdominal skin. Ten frogs' skins were used for this experiment. The skin internal surface was exposed to 1MHz continuous ultrasonic vibration at the intensity of 0.5W/cm2 with a 10.7cm2 transducer of 3.7cm in diameter for 10min. Since application of ultrasound generates heat, a heat-only application was devised using the frog Ringer's solution heated to the same level of temperature as that after application of ultrasound to investigate the effect on molecules transport. Application of ultrasound produced a significant increase in transdermal transport of water molecules, and a heat-only application produced a significant decrease. These results were opposite to each other, suggesting that the nonthermal effects of ultrasound were responsible for enhanced water molecules through the skin.
超音波をカエルの皮膚に照射すると皮膚の透過性が変化する。この変化は超音波の機械的作用と温熱作用によって影響を受ける。しかし,機械的作用に関する研究は少ない。超音波照射による皮膚の水分子透過性の変化を,温熱作用と機械的作用に分けて検討し,超音波の機械的効果を確認した。カエルの腹部の皮膚10枚を使用した。1枚の皮膚に対して,刺激なし,超音波照射,加温水の3種類の条件で行った。超音波照射条件は1MHz,0.5W/cm2,10分間(連続波)とし,皮膚の内側から照射した。超音波プローブの直径は3.7cm(全面積:10.7cm2)である。加温水は,超音波照射による温度上昇と同程度上昇させたリンガー氏液を使用した。刺激なしに比べて,超音波照射は水分子透過性を増加させ,一方,加温水は水分子透過性を減少させた。加温水と超音波照射の結果が相反するものであったため,超音波照射の機械的効果は存在すると考えられる。 |
