Abstract: The article discusses sterile inflammation in brain induced by pulsed focused ultrasound (pFUS). It examines blood-brain barrier disruption (BBBD) accompanied by plasma protein extravasation into the extracellular space and role of pFUS with microbubbles (MB) in BBBD. It proposes that vascular endothelial growth factor and erythopoietin are associated with increased increased intercellular adhesion molecule-1.
