Abstract

Chinest hamster cheek pouches were everted and the epithelia exposed in vivo for 1 min to continuous wave 1.07 .MHz ultrasound at intensities ranging from 0.5 to 10.0 W cm-2. Since the mitotic index of the hamster epithelium exhibited a circadian rhythm, the times of sonication and tissue sampling were arranged to allow for detection of a division delay as evidenced by a change in mitotic index in cells insonated in the early S or late S/early G2 phases of the cell cycle. There was no demonstrated effect of the ultrasound exposures on mitotic index.
