Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Materials Science
  • Fluid Dynamics

Background:

  • Impaired liver function and anticoagulant therapy can lead to deficiencies in crucial clotting factors like Factor II.
  • Accurate detection of these deficiencies is vital for patient management and therapeutic monitoring.
  • Existing diagnostic methods may require further refinement for speed and precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the efficacy of an impulsive acoustic radiation force (IARF)-based ultrasonic system for assessing plasma viscoelasticity.
  • To differentiate between normal human plasma and plasma deficient in coagulation Factor II.
  • To evaluate the system's potential as a research tool for detecting coagulation factor deficiencies.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized focused ultrasonic beams to induce microdisplacement in human plasma samples immersed with a solid sphere.
  • Employed an ultrasonic transducer powered by a specific electrical signal (2.03406 MHz, 118 VPP, 1.249 Hz).
  • Monitored microdisplacement using an SR-9000 board (4.89 MHz, pulse-echo mode) to calculate shear modulus (μ) and time-to-peak displacement (TPD).

Main Results:

  • Significantly different shear modulus (μ) and time-to-peak displacement (TPD) values were observed between normal (μ: 300.11 ± 14.55 Pa) and Factor II-deficient plasma (μ: 75.53 ± 2.91 Pa).
  • TPD ranged from 4.86 ± 0.28 ms to 6.97 ± 0.35 ms for control and deficient samples, respectively.
  • The μ time-curve for prothrombin-deficient plasma showed a distinct pattern compared to normal plasma.

Conclusions:

  • The IARF-based ultrasonic system demonstrates potential as a laboratory research tool for detecting viscoelastic changes in small plasma volumes.
  • The system successfully distinguished between normal and Factor II-deficient plasma based on measured viscoelastic parameters.
  • Further validation with larger cohorts and standardized protocols is necessary for clinical diagnostic applications.
