PRESERVATION STUDIES ON CANINE KIDNEYS RECOVERED FROM THE DEEP FROZEN STATE BY MICROWAVE THAWING

R. V. RAJOTTE, J. B. DOSSETOR, W. A. G. VOSS, C. R. STILLER · 1974

Canine kidneys were perfused with DMSO and fluorocarbon, cooled at 1°C/min to -40°C, then slowly cooled to -79°C for storage up to several days. Microwave thawing at 2-4°C/s produced temperature differences under 10°C when initial perfusion was complete and uniform. Microfil injection and histology revealed some preserved capillary vessels, yet no frozen-thawed kidney regained function. Kidney slices thawed by the same method showed well-preserved light microscopic structure, but PAH uptake did not survive thawing.

Cytopathological Effects of Radiofrequency Electric Fields on Reproductive Tissue of Adult Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

P. S. RAI, H. J. BALL, S. O. NELSON, L. E. STETSON · 1974

Three-day postemergence adult mealworm beetles were exposed to continuous-wave 39-MHz RF electric fields at 2.5 kV for 4.0 seconds. In ovarian tissue, trophocyte disintegration and vacuole formation appeared at 3 days post-treatment and increased by 6 days with most germarium cells disintegrated. Oocytes from treated adults stained darker and germinal vesicles showed clear areas not seen in controls at 6 days post-treatment.

Augmentation of Bone Repair by Inductively Coupled Electromagnetic Fields

Bassett, Pawluk, Pilla · 1974

Researchers used pulsing electromagnetic fields inductively coupled across skin to study bone repair in adult beagles that had undergone bilateral fibular osteotomies. In the second series, of the 13 dogs analyzed, 10 demonstrated higher load values in the treated legs, a result significant by the sign test at P <.07. In the first series, with a circuit repeating at 1 hz, the mean load values revealed no statistically significant difference between stimulated legs and their controls.

KINETICS OF THE PHOTO-INDUCED EPR SIGNAL IN WHOLE-CELL RHODOSPIRILLUM RUBRUM: EFFECTS OF LIGHT INTENSITY, DARK ADAPTATION, TEMPERATURE, AND MICROWAVE POWER

G. A. CORKER, S. A. SHARPE · 1974

Researchers studied the kinetics of the photo-induced P870* EPR signal in whole-cell Rhodospirillum rubrum at room temperature. At low actinic light intensity the signal growth appeared monotonic with a very slow second phase and the decay was biphasic. Increasing the light intensity caused a rapid initial rise to a plateau within 100 ms followed by slow growth and a monophasic decay.

Use of a Bacteriophage System for Investigating the Biological Effects of Low Intensity Pulsed Microwave Radiation

C. M. B. Walker, K. G. McWhirter, W. A. G. Voss · 1974

Researchers examined the effect of 2450 MHz microwave radiation pulsed at 8KHz at a power density between 1 and 10 mW cm* on bacteriophage infection of E. coli, irradiating samples for 7 minutes. They compared the number of infective centers in irradiated samples with controls across 25 experiments. A Student's t-test on the combined data gave t=0.3815 with 48 degrees of freedom, showing about a 50% probability the difference was due to chance.

A SEMICLASSICAL THEORY FOR NERVE EXCITATION BY A LOW INTENSITY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD

Ronald J. Spiegel, William T. Jones · 1973

The paper introduces a semiclassical theory that treats the electromagnetic field classically and the membrane dipoles quantum mechanically using the density matrix approach. The model assumes a double-dipole layer membrane where nerve excitation occurs when enough outer dipoles flip orientation to reduce the potential barrier.

Erythrocyte counts, radioactive iron incorporation, and leukocyte counts did not differ between groups. Bone marrow cellularity, chromosome aberrations, blood chemistry, fetal development, histology, leukemia, and mammary tumor assays showed no acute effects.

Exposure of Bacteria to 2450 MHz Microwave Radiation

P. E. Hamrick, B. T. Butler · 1973

Researchers exposed four strains of Escherichia coli and one strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to continuous 2450 MHz microwave radiation for 12 hours at 60 mW/cm². The microwave power was adjusted so that the media temperature was held at 37 ± 0.5°C. Growth curves of exposed and control bacteria were compared and found to be the same within experimental error. At an absorbed dose of 259 mW/cm² with additional cooling to keep the temperature at 37°C, no difference in growth curves was detected. At an absorbed power of 450 mW/cm² with cooling, growth curves of exposed and control bacteria again showed no appreciable difference.
