Abstract
A short-term intense cooling through the skin causes a response of the body. Potentially, it can be used to enhance bone healing. The aim of this study is to evaluate an effectiveness of a bone defect cryostimulation in the Wistar rat model in vivo. Through holes with a diameter of 2.15 mm were formed in the cortical layer of the diaphysis of the hind paws of rats. Further animals were subjected to cryotherapy 1 and 2 times a week (up to 6 weeks). The local average skin surface temperature dropped from 28 to 14 °C. The decrease in temperature in a control point inside the biological tissue was 5.3 °C. Micro CT and histological analyses showed that cryostimulation twice a week is efficient treatment. In this case, there was an acceleration of maturation of the newly formed bone tissue replacing the defect region. In the control, the newly formed immature bone with a large number of osteocytes and vessels was detected. In the experiment, the newly formed bone had a more mature structure with signs of a compact bone (formation of Haversian canals, reduction in the number of osteocytes, appearance of gluing lines). Morphometric analysis has showed a 2-fold decrease of the relative vessels area near the defect region and an increase of 30% in the content of mast cells in the entire bone marrow and especially near the site of osteogenesis. Generally, the complete filling of the critical size defect and almost complete mineralization have been observed. This information is expected to be useful for understanding the effect-exposure correlation of the cryotherapy and in the design of the cryotherapy protocols.

Abstract
The results of an analytical review of various antennas used in medicine are presented. Issues of modern microwave radiothermometry related to the development of new antennas are discussed, as well as possible ways to solve them. The tasks of further research aimed at creating new designs for conformal antennas and antenna arrays providing a significant expansion of the functionality and improvements in the characteristics of medical radiothermographs are formulated. The study was supported by the Russian Science Foundation (Grant No. 22-19-00113), https://rscf.ru/project/22-19-00113/.

[PMID: 36283423 DOI: 10.1016/j.cryobiol.2022.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2022] [Revised: 10/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
The simplified preoperative planning of multiprobe prostate cryoablation limits its efficiency. In order to improve it, the thermal history prediction software is being developed. However, the problem of high risks at the prostate-urethra boundary has not been solved yet. The urethral warming system is used to protect the urethral canal from freezing. On the one hand it is used to reduce the risk of damage to the urethra; on the other hand it increases the risk of insufficient ablation of the tumor. This paper presents a step towards the possibility of carrying out the precision prostate cryoablation in this region. For the experimental part, three cases of arrangement of one and two argon cryoprobes and a heating catheter have been considered. Freezing zone shape and dimensions, and temperature at control points depending on time have been obtained. Experimental results have clearly shown the effect of the heating catheter, the second cryoprobe, and the initial temperature of the biotissue phantom on the freezing zone. After, the thermal aspects of treatment simulation have been developed and verified. A series of calculations have been carried out with the goal to get the information about optimizing the prostate cryoablation on the prostate-urethra boundary. The arrangement of cryoprobes has been proposed for three different variants for prostate cryoablation (sectors of 90, 180° and 360°). The area of prostate tissues near the urethra that cannot be cooled below the necrosis temperature is shown. This information is expected to be useful for improving the quality of cryosurgery planning algorithms (e.g. for tumor treatment).
