Abstract | High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) triggered drug release as one of promising approaches for local drug delivery is gaining more attention as ultrasound allows the deposition of the thermal and mechanical energies to a specific localized region in a noninvasive manner. Release of encapsulated drugs from a nano-carrier such as liposome could further achieve a higher local drug concentration and reduce the toxicity effects under the stimulus of temperature elevation. This paper presents a micro HIFU (MHIFU) microfluidic device to enable mimic the bulky HIFU transmission system without the need of high power consumption and control the release of low temperature-sensitive liposomes (LTSL). Moreover, by adjusting the input signal, the temperature can be elevated and maintained at 37°C, 42°C and 50°C precisely with the error of ±0.3°C. The flow cytometry results show that HIFU-mediated drug delivery lead to an increase in uptake compared to water incubation-induced drug release at 42°C. Microfluidic technology may offer a promising alternative method for investigation of the complex dynamics between ultrasound and organisms in an ultramicroscopic manner. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
