Objective:To explore the changes of cellapoptosis and proliferation in the periphery of the target area on glioma subcutaneous transplanted model in nude mice treated with high inensity focused ultrasound(HIFU)in combination with chemotherapy.Methods: Experimental nude mice of subcutaneous transplanted models with human glioma(U251)was established.These nude mice bearing subcutaneous human neuron-gliocytoma xenografts were divided into three groups randomly
HIFU in combination with ACNU(Nimustine) adjuvant themotherapy group
single chemotherapy group and single HIFU group.24 hours after tumors were treated
the pathological characteristics
apoptosis and proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA)in tumor tissues were tested by HE staining examination
TdT-me diated UTP nick end labeling(TUNEL)and immunohistochemical staining respectively.7 days later
the volume of the xenografts was measured.Results:After HIFU ablation
in the periphery of the target area
the percentage of PCNA in the HIFU in combination with adjuvant chemotherapy group was significantly less than that in single chemotherapy group and single HIFU group(P<0.01)and the apoptosis cells were more than these in the last two groups(P<0.01).The volume oftumor tissues in HIFU in combination with ACNU group was smaller than that in single chemotherapy group and single HIFU group(P<0.01).Conclusion:There were marked synergstic effects of both HIFU ablation and chemotherapy on U251 glioma in nude mice.In the periphery of the target area
HIFU in combination with adjuvant chemotherapy could enhance the HIFU therapeutic effects obviously
and also induce U251cell apoptosis and restrain its proliferation in glioma
thus it would promote the therapeutic efficacyfor glioma.
