“…MWA has a smaller thermal deposition effect on blood vessels and bile ducts, which means it is safer when treating tumors close to these structures, reducing damage to surrounding tissues. Additionally, microwaves can penetrate tissues more effectively and deliver energy to greater depths, making it more effective in treating deeper-seated tumors [6,7] .…”

Background To investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of artificial ascites assisted microwave ablation (MWA) in the treatment of liver cancer near the deep diaphragm and the importance of perioperative nursing. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on patients who received MWA assisted by artificial ascites for liver cancer adjacent to the deep diaphragm from January 2016 to December 2022. Normal saline was used as artificial ascites to protect the deep diaphragm during MWA. The success rate of the procedure, the incidence of major complications, the technical efficacy of ablation, and the local tumor progression were recorded. Results A total of 62 lesions in 54 patients were enrolled, including 44 males and 10 females, with an average age of 55.64 ± 10.33 years. The ultrasound image quality scores of liver cancer before and after ascites were 3.57 ± 0.79 and 4.89 ± 0.33, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (t = 16.324, P < 0.05). There was no injury to the diaphragm, no burn to the skin at the puncture site, and no abdominal hemorrhage. 1 patient developed a right pleural effusion, which was not drained. The complete ablation rate was 94.4% (51/54) at 1 month after ablation. Three patients had recurrence and were treated with MWA again. The patients in this study were followed up for 12 to 45 months, with a median follow-up time of 21 months. The local tumor progression rate was 5.6% (3/54). Conclusion MWA assisted by artificial ascites is a safe and effective treatment for liver cancer near the deep diaphragm. Systematic nursing measures are of great significance for the rapid recovery of patients and the success rate of surgery.

“…[ 6,7 ] However, high temperatures may burn the surrounding normal tissue, which may cause bleeding, skin injury, and secondary infections. [ 8,9 ] In 1989, Umemura et al. discovered high cytotoxicity of hematoporphyrin under ultrasound irradiation for the first time, and thus, hematoporphyrin can be used to kill cancer cells; this method was termed sonodynamic therapy (SDT) in 1992.…”

Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) utilizes ultrasound‐irradiating sonosensitizers to convert ultrasonic vibrations into chemical energy and produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) that cause cell apoptosis or necrosis. SDT demonstrates significant potential in the treatment of deep tumors without normal tissue damage. Rapid advances in the efficacy of SDT have enabled the rational design and construction of novel intelligent sonocatalytic nanoagents (SCNs) with various functions for versatile biomedical applications. Herein, the most recent critical advancements in intelligent SCNs for energy conversion‐based therapies are discussed. Typical SCNs including organic molecules, organic micro‐/nanoparticles, inorganic micro‐/nanoparticles, organic/inorganic hybrids, and piezoelectric materials are introduced and summarized in detail. Furthermore, these intelligent SCNs are designed for different energy conversion‐based therapies such as SDT, SDT‐assisted chemotherapy, SDT‐assisted photodynamic therapy, SDT‐assisted photothermal therapy, SDT‐assisted gas therapy, SDT‐assisted sonoporation from the cell membrane to the blood brain barrier, and high‐intensity focused ultrasound‐based sonothermal therapy. It is believed that this review will provide an overview of the application of intelligent SCNs in sonodynamic therapies to better understand the limitations and challenges of these SCNs and further promote their advancements for a broad range of biomedical applications.
