Ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction rapidly improves left ventricular function in rats with ischemic cardiac dysfunction

BACKGROUND

Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) in the treatment of ischemic heart failure (HF). The purpose of this study was to explore the mechanism by which UTMD improves ischemic HF.

METHODS

An ischemic heart failure model was established using Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were randomly divided into 7 groups: sham group, HF group, HF + MB group, HF + ultrasound (US) group, HF + UTMD group, HF + UTMD+LY294002 group, and HF + LY294002 group. Serum BNP level and echocardiographic parameters were measured to evaluate cardiac function. PI3K/Akt/eNOS signaling pathway protein levels were detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and western blotting. The concentrations of nitrous oxide (NO) and ATP were detected by ELISA, and hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining was used to evaluate myocardial tissue.

RESULTS

UTMD rapidly improved ejection fraction (EF) (HF: 37.16 ± 1.21% vs. HF + UTMD: 46.31 ± 3.00%, P < 0.01) and fractional shortening (FS) (HF: 18.53 ± 0.58% vs. HF + UTMD: 24.05 ± 1.84%, P < 0.01) in rats with ischemic HF. UTMD activated the PI3K/AKT/eNOS signaling pathway (HF vs. HF + UTMD, P < 0.01) and promoted the release of NO and ATP (HF vs. HF + UTMD, both, P < 0.05). Inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/eNOS signaling pathway by LY294002 worsened EF (HF: 37.16 ± 1.21% vs. HF + LY294002: 32.73 ± 3.05%, P < 0.05), and the release of NO and ATP by UTMD (HF + UTMD vs. HF + UTMD+LY294002, P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS

UTMD can rapidly improve cardiac function in ischemic HF by activating the PI3K/Akt/eNOS signaling pathway and promoting the release of NO and ATP.

Recent advances of focused ultrasound induced blood-brain barrier opening for clinical applications of neurodegenerative diseases

With the aging population on the rise, neurodegenerative disorders have taken center stage as a significant health concern. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays an important role to maintain the stability of central nervous system, yet it poses a formidable obstacle to delivering drugs for neurodegenerative disease therapy. Various methods have been devised to confront this challenge, each carrying its own set of limitations. One particularly promising noninvasive approach involves the utilization of focused ultrasound (FUS) combined with contrast agents-microbubbles (MBs) to achieve transient and reversible BBB opening. This review provides a comprehensive exploration of the fundamental mechanisms behind FUS/MBs-mediated BBB opening and spotlights recent breakthroughs in its application for neurodegenerative diseases. Furthermore, it addresses the current challenges and presents future perspectives in this field.

Advances in using ultrasound to regulate the nervous system

Ultrasound is a mechanical vibration with a frequency greater than 20 kHz. Due to its high spatial resolution, good directionality, and convenient operation in neural regulation, it has recently received increasing attention from scientists. However, the mechanism by which ultrasound regulates the nervous system is still unclear. This article mainly explores the possible mechanisms of ultrasound's mechanical effects, cavitation effects, thermal effects, and the rise of sonogenetics. In addition, the essence of action potential and its relationship with ultrasound were also discussed. Traditional theory treats nerve impulses as pure electrical signals, similar to cable theory. However, this theory cannot explain the phenomenon of inductance and cell membrane bulging out during the propagation of action potential. Therefore, the flexoelectric effect of cell membrane and soliton model reveal that action potential may also be a mechanical wave. Finally, we also elaborated the therapeutic effect of ultrasound on nervous system disease such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.

Effect of ultrasonic vibration on oxide layer properties in ultrasonic-assisted ELID internal cylinder grinding

The oxide film on the surface of the grinding wheel plays a very important role in ultrasonic-assisted electrolytic in-process dressing (UA-ELID) grinding. In order to investigate the influence of ultrasonic vibration on the characteristics of oxide film on the surface of grinding wheel in compound grinding, the formation mechanism of oxide film on the surface of grinding wheel under ultrasonic action was analyzed theoretically from two aspects: the change of single grain trajectory caused by ultrasonic vibration and the effect of ultrasonic cavitation. The pre-dressing tests were conducted with different pre-dressing times to observe the oxide layer properties at different pre-dressing stages. The grinding tests were conducted after pre-dressing to verify the grinding performance of oxide layer under different pre-dressing methods. The results show that after the ultrasonic vibration of the grinding wheel is added during electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) process, the holes and cracks of the oxide film on the surface of the grinding wheel are greatly reduced during the whole pre-dressing process. In addition, the pre-dressing current decreases more stably and the current is smaller when it reaches stability. After the pre-dressing, the thickness of the oxide film is reduced by about 35 % and the hardness is increased by about 70 % compared with the ordinary pre-dressing process. The grinding test results show that the oxide film obtained by ultrasonic vibration of the additional grinding wheel is more conducive to improving the surface quality of the grinding process. Therefore, compared with the ordinary pre-dressing process, the density and uniformity of oxide film on the surface of grinding wheel is better and the hardness is higher after the additional ultrasonic vibration of grinding wheel. It is beneficial to improve the surface quality of workpiece.

Unraveling the deterioration mechanism of dough during whole wheat flour processing: A case study of gluten protein containing arabinoxylan with different molecular weights

This study aims to the effect of arabinoxylan (AX) on gluten quality. Ultrasonic treatment is utilized to degrade water unextractable arabinoxylans (WUAX) from wheat bran, which obtains three molecular weights of AX. The results indicate that the shear viscosity and particle size of AX were decreased and the ζ-potential was increased after ultrasonic treatment. Analysis of the gluten shows that the free SH of gluten with 6% WUAX, SAX10, and SAX30 (ultrasound duration for 10 min and 30 min) was increased by 51.9%, 48.1%, and 17.0%, respectively, whereas the free SH of 2% SAX30-gluten was increased by 19.8%. Furthermore, WUAX impaired the viscoelasticity properties of gluten, while SAX30 improved the viscoelasticity of gluten. WUAX induced the open, fragile, and discontinuous structure of gluten. On the contrary, SAX30 promoted the formation of the compact and regular gluten structure. Overall, ultrasonic as a non-chemical treatment could be used to improve the quality of whole-wheat foods.

Sonochemically assisted the synthesis and catalytic application of bismuth-based photocatalyst: A mini review

Recently, bismuth (Bi)-based photocatalysts have been a well-deserved hotspot in the field of photocatalysis owning to their photoelectrochemical properties driven by the distortion of the Bi 6 s orbital, while their narrow band gap and poor quantum efficiency still restrict their application. With the development of ultrasonic technology, it is expected to become a broom to clear the application obstacles of Bi-based photocatalysts. The special forces and environmental conditions brought by ultrasonic irradiation play beneficial roles in the preparation, modification and performance releasement of Bi-based photocatalysts. In this review, the role and influencing factors of ultrasound in the preparation and modification of Bi-based photocatalysts were introduced. Crucially, the mechanism of the improving the performance for various types of Bi-based photocatalysts by ultrasound in the whole process of photocatalysis was deeply analyzed. Then, the application of ultrasonic synergistic Bi-based photocatalysts in contaminants treatment and energy conversion was briefly introduced. Finally, based on an unambiguous understanding of ultrasonic technology in assisting Bi-based photocatalysts, the future directions and possibilities for ultrasonic synergistic Bi-based photocatalysts are explored.

In-situ observation of phase separation dynamics for immiscible aqueous solution within ultrasonic field

A high-speed imaging technique was used to observe the phase separation process of water (H2O)-20 %succinonitrile (SCN) immiscible solution within ultrasound field. Combining with numerical simulation, the effects of ultrasonic cavitation and acoustic streaming on the fragmentation and migration of secondary droplets were revealed. It was found that the previously spherical or near-spherical secondary H2O-rich droplets formed under static condition were dynamically transformed into several novel forms, such as tadpole-like, string-beads, gourd-like, and threadlike patterns. The calculated results showed that the cavitation could fragment micron-scale H2O-rich droplets because of the produced higher shock wave pressure than the droplets' Laplace pressure, and the subsequent droplet morphology evolution mainly depended on the liquid ejection volume determined by the distance between the droplets and the collapsing bubbles. Meanwhile, acoustic streaming, which generated shear force exceeding the surface tension of H2O-rich phase, stretched, split and finally fractured millimeter-sized or even larger secondary droplets into several smaller spherical sub-droplets. In comparison, the observed secondary droplet distribution characteristics in H2O-20 %SCN solution were similar to the Bi-rich particles in the ultrasonic solidification microstructures of Al-30 %Bi immiscible alloy, confirming that this work provided a deep understanding of the liquid phase separation mechanism within ultrasonic field.

Application progress of ultrasonication in flour product processing: A review

Flour products played a vital role in the global diet structure. With the increasing demand for dietary health and food standardization, the staple food of flour products made from coarse grains due to its unique flavor and rich nutrition has become a trend and is favored by consumers. However, the lack of gluten protein in the raw materials prevented the formation of a stable gluten network structure, leading to the deterioration of the quality of flour products. Ultrasonic treatment, as an innovative food processing technology, generated energy during the action of ultrasonic waves that had a positive impact on the texture, organizational structure, or flavor characteristics of food. That was of great significance for improving food production efficiency, improving food processing quality, and extending food shelf life. This article applied ultrasonic technology to the processing of flour products from the perspective of promoting fermentation and improving production efficiency of flour products. The cavitation effect of ultrasound promoted the formation of gluten network structure, improved the rheology properties of dough and the quality of flour products by promoting protein cross-linking, improving the foaming and emulsifying stability of gluten protein, and promoting the growth and reproduction of yeast. All reviewed studies indicate that ultrasound would be a promising technology for producing high-quality surface products under appropriate conditions.

Sono-enhanced heterogeneous Fenton catalysis: magnetic halloysite nanotube synthesis and accelerated free radical generation

Although heterogeneous Fenton catalysis has captured increasing attention compared to its homogeneous counterpart, it still confronts some inherent drawbacks in use, such as the dilemma in solid-liquid separation and greater mass transfer resistance. Driven by the acoustic cavitation effect, herein, a sono-enhanced heterogeneous Fenton catalysis process was built to overcome the above two shortcomings, by rapidly synthesizing magnetic Fenton-like catalysts and accelerating electron transfer during the catalytic reaction. The results show that, compared to the traditional chemical coprecipitation method, Fe3O4 with smaller particle size and better crystallinity grew on the surface of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) by using the sonochemical strategy, leading to displaying the higher catalytic activity toward the degradation of methylene blue (MB, improved by ~2.5 times). In parallel, more •OH and •O2- were produced after the ultrasound was further introduced to the routine Fenton-like catalysis system, thus highly accelerating the removal of MB (improved by ~50%). Besides, benefiting from the robust chemical integration of Fe3O4 and HNTs, Fe3O4@HNTs-S had a lower iron ion leaching in use, showing superior catalytic stability. The speed, simplicity, and generality, together with the enhanced mass transfer rate, make the use of ultrasound an enabling methodology to improve the heterogeneous Fenton catalysis.

Ultrasonic-assisted preparation of two-dimensional materials for electrocatalysts

Developing green, environmental, sustainable new energy sources is an important problem to be solved in the world. Among the new energy technologies, water splitting system, fuel cell technology and metal-air battery technology are the main energy production and conversion methods, which involve three main electrocatalytic reactions, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). The efficiency of the electrocatalytic reaction and the power consumption are very dependent on the activity of the electrocatalysts. Among various electrocatalysts, the two-dimensional (2D) materials have received widespread attention due to multiple advantages, such as their easy availability and low price. What' important is that they have adjustable physical and chemical properties. It is possible to develop them as electrocatalysts to replace the noble metals. Therefore, the design of two-dimensional electrocatalysts is a focus in the research area. Some recent advances in ultrasound-assisted preparation of two-dimensional (2D) materials have been overviewed according to the kind of materials in this review. Firstly, the effect of the ultrasonic cavitation and its applications in the synthesis of inorganic materials are introduced. The ultrasonic-assisted synthesis of representative 2D materials for example transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), graphene, layered double metal hydroxide (LDH), and MXene, and their catalytic properties as electrocatalysts are discussed in detail. For example, the CoMoS₄ electrocatalysts have been synthesized through a facile ultrasound-assisted hydrothermal method. The obatined HER and OER overpotential of CoMoS₄ electrode is 141 and 250 mV, respectively. This review points out some problems that need to be solved urgently at present, and provides some ideas for designing and constructing two-dimensional materials with better electrocatalytic performance.

Phase-transition nanodroplets with immunomodulatory capabilities for potentiating mild magnetic hyperthermia to inhibit tumour proliferation and metastasis

BACKGROUND

Magnetic hyperthermia (MHT)-mediated thermal ablation therapy has promising clinical applications in destroying primary tumours. However, traditional MHT still presents the challenges of damage to normal tissues adjacent to the treatment site and the destruction of tumour-associated antigens due to its high onset temperature (> 50 °C). In addition, local thermal ablation of tumours often exhibits limited therapeutic inhibition of tumour metastasis.

RESULTS

To address the above defects, a hybrid nanosystem (SPIOs + RPPs) was constructed in which phase transition nanodroplets with immunomodulatory capabilities were used to potentiate supermagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPIO)-mediated mild MHT (< 44 °C) and further inhibit tumour proliferation and metastasis. Magnetic-thermal sensitive phase-transition nanodroplets (RPPs) were fabricated from the immune adjuvant resiquimod (R848) and the phase transition agent perfluoropentane (PFP) encapsulated in a PLGA shell. Because of the cavitation effect of microbubbles produced by RPPs, the temperature threshold of MHT could be lowered from 50℃ to approximately 44℃ with a comparable effect, enhancing the release and exposure of damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). The exposure of calreticulin (CRT) on the cell membrane increased by 72.39%, and the released high-mobility group B1 (HMGB1) increased by 45.84% in vivo. Moreover, the maturation rate of dendritic cells (DCs) increased from 4.17 to 61.33%, and the infiltration of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) increased from 10.44 to 35.68%. Under the dual action of mild MHT and immune stimulation, contralateral and lung metastasis could be significantly inhibited after treatment with the hybrid nanosystem.

CONCLUSION

Our work provides a novel strategy for enhanced mild magnetic hyperthermia immunotherapy and ultrasound imaging with great clinical translation potential.

Piezoelectric atomization of liquids with dynamic viscosities up to 175 cP at room temperature

Piezoelectric atomization has been applied in the field of respiratory medicine delivery and chemistry. However, the wider application of this technique is limited by the viscosity of the liquid. High-viscosity liquid atomization has great potential for applications in aerospace, medicine, solid-state batteries and engines, but the actual development of atomization is behind expectations. In this study, instead of the traditional model of single-dimensional vibration as a power supply, we propose a novel atomization mechanism that uses two coupled vibrations to induce micro-amplitude elliptical motion of the particles on the surface of the liquid carrier, which produces a similar effect as localized traveling waves to push the liquid forward and induce cavitation to achieve atomization. To achieve this, a flow tube internal cavitation atomizer (FTICA) consisting of a vibration source, a connecting block and a liquid carrier is designed. The prototype can atomize liquids with dynamic viscosities up to 175 cP at room temperature with a driving frequency of 507 kHz and a voltage of 85 V. The maximum atomization rate in the experiment is 56.35 mg/min, and the average atomized particle diameter is 10 µm. Vibration models for the three parts of the proposed FTICA are established, and the vibration characteristics and atomization mechanism of the prototype were verified using the vibration displacement measurement experiment and the spectroscopic experiment. This study offers new possibilities for transpulmonary inhalation therapy, engine fuel supply, solid-state battery processing and other areas where high-viscosity microparticle atomization is needed.

Ultrasound-assisted fabrication of biopolymer materials: A review

There is an urgent need to develop technologies that can physically manipulate the structure of biocompatible and green polymer materials in order to tune their performance in an efficient, repeatable, easy-to-operate, chemical-free, non-contact, and highly controllable manner. Ultrasound technology produces a cavitation effect that promotes the generation of free radicals, the fracture of chemical chain segments and a rapid change of morphology. The cavitation effects are accompanied by thermal, chemical, and biological effects that interact with the material being studied. With its high efficiency, cleanliness, and reusability applications, ultrasound has a vast range of opportunity within the field of natural polymer-based materials. This work expounds the basic principle of ultrasonic cavitation and analyzes the influence that ultrasonic strength, temperature, frequency and induced liquid surface tension on the physical and chemical properties of biopolymer materials. The mechanism and the influence that ultrasonic modification has on materials is discussed, with highlighted details on the agglomeration, degradation, morphology, structure, and the mechanical properties of these novel materials from naturally derived polymers.

Advances in Biological Application of and Research on Low-Frequency Ultrasound

In recent years, the in-depth study of low-frequency sonophoresis (LFS) has greatly elucidated its biological effects in various therapeutic applications, including drug delivery, enhanced healing, thrombolytic technology, anti-inflammatory effects and tumor treatment. Specifically, numerous studies have reported its use in drug delivery and synergistic antitumor activity, indicating a new treatment direction for cancer. However, there are significant gaps in the understanding of LFS in terms of frequency and sound intensity safety; these issues are becoming increasingly important in understanding the biological effects of LFS ultrasound. This article reviews the treatment mechanism and current applications of LFS technology and discusses and summarizes its safety and application prospects.

Insights into the novel application of Fe-MOFs in ultrasound-assisted heterogeneous Fenton system: Efficiency, kinetics and mechanism

In this work, as a new strategy, ultrasound/H₂O₂/MOF system was firstly applied by environmental-benign Fe-MOFs (MIL-53, MIL-88B and MIL-101) for tetracycline hydrochloride removal. The syntheticFe-MOFs were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM, XPS, N₂ sorption-desorption isotherms and CO-FTIR. MIL-88B demonstrated the best catalytic performance because of its highest amount of Lewis acid sites. Influencing factors, contrast experiment, and corresponding dynamics were carried out to obtain the best experimental conditions and reaction system. Under optimal conditions ([Tetracyclinehydrochloride] = 10 mg/L, [MIL-88B] = 0.3 g/L, [H₂O₂] = 44 mM, [ultrasound power] = 60 W, and pH = 5.0), the-first-order kinetic rate constant k was calculated to be 0.226 min^-1, higher than the simple combination of the ultrasound system (0.004) and MIL-88B/H₂O₂ system (0.163), indicating the importance of synergistic effect between ultrasound and Fenton reaction. EPR test and quenching experiment proved that ·OH is mainly responsible for tetracycline hydrochloride removal. The major reaction path is the adsorption and decomposition of H₂O₂ by coordinative unsaturated iron sites on Fe-MOF, but it is not the only path. The direct decomposition of H₂O₂ and the cavitation effect caused by ultrasound also contribute to the generation of OH.

Experimental study on viscosity reduction for residual oil by ultrasonic

Because of characteristics of large density, high viscosity and poor mobility, the processing and transportation of residual oil are difficult and challenging, viscosity reduction of residual oil is of great significance. In this paper, the effects of different placement forms of ultrasonic transducers on the sound pressure distribution of ultrasonic inside a cubic container have been simulated, the characteristics of oil bath heating and ultrasonic viscosity reduction were compared, viscosity reduction rule of residual oil was experimentally analyzed by utilizing Response Surface Method under conditions of changing ultrasonic exposure time, power and action mode, the mechanism of viscosity reduction was studied by applying Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, the viscosity retentivity experiment was carried out at last. Experiments were conducted using two kinds of residual oil, and results show that ultrasonic effect on the viscosity reduction of residual oil is significant, the higher viscosity of residual oil, the better effect of ultrasonic, ultrasonic power and exposure time are the significant factors affecting the viscosity reduction rate of residual oil. The maximum viscosity reduction rate is obtained under condition of ultrasonic power is 900W, exposure time is 14min and action mode of exposure time is 2s and interrupting time is 2s, viscosity reduction rate reaching up to 63.95%. The infrared spectroscopy results show that light component in residual oil increased. The viscosity retentivity experiment results show that the viscosity reduction effect remains very well. This paper can provide data reference for the application of ultrasonic in the field of viscosity reduction for residual oil.

Effects of Extracorporeal Shock Wave-Mediated Transdermal Local Anesthetic Drug Delivery on Rat Caudal Nerves

Cavitation plays a substantial role in the clinical effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT). It is also generally accepted as a major mechanism in sonophoresis. To identify the enhancing effect of extracorporeal shock wave-mediated transdermal drug delivery, 24 Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups: (i) topical application of a eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLA); (ii) 1-MHz ultrasound; (iii) ESWT pre-treatment combined with EMLA application; (iv) ESWT concurrent with EMLA application on rat tails. The degree of anesthesia was assessed using the amplitude and latency of sensory nerve action potentials within 5 min after a 60-min EMLA application. The results indicated that ESWT pre-treatment and concurrent ESWT accelerated the anesthetic effects of the EMLA cream on the tail nerve (p < 0.05). This finding might indicate that shock wave-mediated transdermal drug delivery is possible during the ESWT period.

The leaching kinetics of K-feldspar in sulfuric acid with the aid of ultrasound

The leaching kinetics of K-feldspar in H₂SO₄-CaF₂ system with the assistant of ultrasound was investigated. The effects of various factors, such as sulfuric acid concentration, liquid-to-solid ratio, CaF₂ dosage and leaching temperature were comprehensively studied. The dissolution fraction of potassium can reach more than 83% under the optimum operation conditions with ultrasound. Because of the cavitation effect, the intensified effect with ultrasound has more obvious at lower temperature than higher temperature. The leaching kinetics of K-feldspar with and without ultrasound was successfully modeled by a classic shrinking core model with the product layer diffusion as the rate-controlling step. The activation energies over the temperature range from 60 to 90°C with and without ultrasound were found to be 55.67kJmol^-1 and 72.33kJmol^-1, respectively. It was found that the rate constant increases greatly in the presence of ultrasound due to the decreased apparent activation energy, resulting in the improved dissolution fraction of potassium.

Skeletonization and Isolation of the Glissonean and Venous Branches in Liver Surgery With an Ultrasonic Scalpel Technology

This study describes a novel technique for skeletonization and isolation of Glissonean and venous branches during liver surgery using a harmonic scalpel (HS). Hepatic resections with HS were performed with the skeletonization and isolation technique in 50 patients (HS group). Variables evaluated were blood loss, operative time, biliary leak, and morbidity. The results were compared with 50 hepatic resections that were performed using a previously established technique: Cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator with electric cautery, ligatures, and hemoclips (NHS group). The HS group had shorter total operative times (285 versus 358 minutes; P = 0.01), less blood loss (389 versus 871 mL; P = 0.034), and less crystalloid infusion (2744 versus 3299 mL; P = 0.027) compared with the NHS group. Postoperative liver function and complication rates were similar when comparing the two groups. These data demonstrate that HS is a simple, easy, and effective instrument for the skeletonization and isolation of vessels during liver transection.

MnO2/CeO2 for catalytic ultrasonic degradation of methyl orange

Catalytic ultrasonic degradation of aqueous methyl orange was studied in this paper. Heterogeneous catalyst MnO2/CeO2 was prepared by impregnation of manganese oxide on cerium oxide. Morphology and specific surface area of MnO2/CeO2 catalyst were characterized and its composition was determined. Results showed big differences between fresh and used catalyst. The removal efficiency of methyl orange by MnO2/CeO2 catalytic ultrasonic process was investigated. Results showed that ultrasonic process could remove 3.5% of methyl orange while catalytic ultrasonic process could remove 85% of methyl orange in 10 min. The effects of free radical scavengers were studied to determine the role of hydroxyl free radical in catalytic ultrasonic process. Results showed that methyl orange degradation efficiency declined after adding free radical scavengers, illustrating that hydroxyl free radical played an important role in degrading methyl orange. Theoretic analysis showed that the resonance size of cavitation bubbles was comparable with the size of catalyst particles. Thus, catalyst particles might act as cavitation nucleus and enhance ultrasonic cavitation effects. Measurement of H2O2 concentration in catalytic ultrasonic process confirmed this hypothesis. Effects of pre-adsorption on catalytic ultrasonic process were examined. Pre-adsorption significantly improved methyl orange removal. The potential explanation was that methyl orange molecules adsorbed on catalysts could enter cavitation bubbles and undergo stronger cavitation.
