Abstract

Abstract

Shock wave researches were traditionally developed as an element of high-speed gas dynamics supporting supersonic flights and atmospheric reentry of space vehicles. However, in the past thirty years shock waves have been successfully applied to medical therapy. This paper discusses firstly the operation principles of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and its mechanisms (i.e. stress mechanism, and cavilation mechanism) of noninvasion removal of kidney and urthral stones. Then the effectiveness of ESWL treatment to nonunion bone fracture, false joint, tennis elbow etc. in orthopedic surgery are reviewed. The theories and methods of formation of microexplosionand laser-induced microwater jets are briefly discussed with special attention paid on their applications to cerebral thrombosis revascularization. Relevant experimental setups are also enumerated for introducing DNA/drug and high-speed particles into cells and related results summarized. Besides, the idea underlying the application of shock wave to treat tendons, ligaments and bones on horses or dogs in veterinary medicine is presented. This review proposes finally the key research fields to be further explored, such as the new generation technology of medical shock wave, novel devices for shock wave therapy, and medical applications of shock wave to the cerebral embolism revascularization and gene therapy.
