About this Research Topic
Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a medium frequency, pulse output low-intensity ultrasound. At present, as a new non-invasive intervention method, LIPUS has been widely recognized for its safety and efficiency. It significantly reduces thermal effects and optimizes its biological effect through mechanotransduction and has been shown to accelerate the healing of fractures and nonunion in animal and clinical studies. What’s more, it promotes the proliferation and migration of a variety of cells, as well as stem cells. In addition, LIPUS has also made some achievements in soft tissue regeneration and inflammation inhibition.
Studies have shown that LIPUS plays a significant role in regulating and improving endocrine dysfunction, including early-onset ovarian insufficiency, osteoporosis, diabetes, and so on. But there are still gaps in the study of LIPUS for many other endocrine diseases.
This Research Topic encourages Original Research, Reviews, or other acceptable types of articles, which are expected to provide ideas for future research and clinical practice to highlight the importance of LIPUS for endocrinology. It includes, but is not limited to:
• LIPUS and hypopituitarism
• LIPUS and thyroid diseases
• LIPUS and adrenal cortical diseases
• LIPUS and pheochromocytoma
• LIPUS and diabetes
• LIPUS and osteoporosis
• LIPUS with gout
• LIPUS and stem cells
• Molecular mechanism of LIPUS
