Schematics for the study. A Preparation of microbubbles (MBs). MBs were fabricated via a biotin–streptavidin bridging chemistry method. B Schematic for control and TNBS-treated mice including presensitization with or without TNBS at day 0, followed by rectal injection of either 50% ethanol (EtOH) or 2.5% TNBS in 50% EtOH at day 7, and all mice were sacrificed at day 8 (*). C Schematic for ex vivo ultrasound imaging of mice and human specimens. IBD inflammatory bowel disease, TNBS 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid, NS normal saline
