This work introduces a novel integration of experimentally measured tissue parameters into time-explicit nonlinear acoustic wave simulations, in which the equations are directly solved in the time domain using an explicit solver. This approach captures the full transient waveform without relying on frequency-domain simplifications, offering a more realistic representation of ultrasound propagation in heterogeneous media. The study estimates both sound diffusivity and viscous damping parameters (dynamic and bulk viscosity) for a broad range of ex vivo tissues (skin, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, trabecular/cortical bone, liver, myocardium, kidney, tendon, ligament, cartilage, and gray/white brain matter). Four regression models (power law, linear, exponential, logarithmic) were applied to characterize their frequency dependence between 0.5 and 5 MHz. Results show that attenuation is more strongly driven by bulk viscosity than dynamic viscosity, particularly in fluid-rich tissues such as liver and myocardium, where compressional damping dominates. The power-law model consistently provided the best fit for all attenuation metrics, revealing a scale-invariant frequency relationship. Tissues such as cartilage and brain showed weaker viscous responses, suggesting the need for alternative modeling approaches. These findings not only advance fundamental understanding of attenuation mechanisms but also provide validated parameters and modeling strategies to improve predictive accuracy in therapeutic ultrasound planning and the design of non-invasive, tissue-specific acoustic devices.</p>","PeriodicalId":8874,"journal":{"name":"Bioengineering","volume":"12 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12467887/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145172381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A critical determinant of ASCR success is the selection of an appropriate graft material. This review explores the spectrum of grafts utilized in ASCR, including autografts, allografts, xenografts, and synthetic materials. The primary focus is on how the inherent biological properties of these grafts-such as cellularity, vascularity, immunogenicity, and extracellular matrix composition-profoundly influence the processes of graft healing, integration into host tissues, and ultimately, the rates of re-tearing. Autografts, particularly fascia lata, often demonstrate superior biological incorporation due to their viable cells and non-immunogenic nature, leading to high healing rates. Allografts, while offering advantages like reduced donor site morbidity, present biological challenges related to decellularization processes and slower remodeling, resulting in more variable healing outcomes. Xenografts face significant immunological hurdles, often leading to rejection and poor integration. Synthetic grafts provide an off-the-shelf option but interact with host tissue primarily as a scaffold, without true biological integration.
