Effects of diagnostic levels of color Doppler ultrasound energy on the cell cycle of newborn rats
J. Zhu, J. Lin, Z. Zhu, W. Shou, D. Bi and L. Shi
Our objective was to evaluate the safety of diagnostic levels of color Doppler ultrasound energy in the field of obstetrics and to provide the experimental data for its clinical application. After insonating pregnant rats with diagnostic levels of color Doppler ultrasound energy, we studied the cell cycles of the newborn rats by flow cytometry and factorial analysis. We found that the deoxyribonucleic acid content was not affected in any phase of the cell cycle in newborn rats by any of the different insonation times and frequencies. |
