ELECTRICAL EFFECTS IN BONE

C. ANDREW L. BASSETT · 1965

Researchers found that bone produces electric current when bent or compressed, a property called piezoelectricity. Removing mineral crystals from bone reduced the electrical output, suggesting collagen alone is not the main source of electric charge. In dogs with implanted electrodes, new bone grew only around the negative electrode.

EFFECTS OF HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTRIC FIELDS ON THE LIVING CELL I. BEHAVIOUR OF HUMAN ERYTHROCYTES IN HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTRIC FIELDS AND ITS RELATION TO THEIR AGE

A. A. FUREDI, I. OHAD · 1964

Researchers exposed human erythrocytes to a 120 megacycles/sec electric field for 1-5 sec. Young erythrocytes in hypotonic sucrose elongated parallel to the field by 2-4 times the normal cell diameter and rotated without changing direction. Old erythrocytes did not elongate or rotate but formed chains parallel to the field, with less than 10% of old cells showing elongation versus more than 90% of young cells.

EFFECTS OF MICROWAVE RADIATION ON THE EYE

L. Birenbaum et al. · 1963

The researchers used continuous-wave microwave radiation at 5.5 kmc/sec to determine the threshold power levels that produce lens changes in rabbits after a single exposure. The results obtained are summarized in Fig. IV-5. Lens injury appeared by the fourth day as a small localized opacity at the anterior lens surface or a more extensive cataractous change in the anterior portion. The opacities either regressed, grew then regressed, progressed to a complete cataract, or occasionally resolved completely.

Effect of Radio-Frequency Fields on the Electrophoretic Mobility of Some Colloids

David J. Wilkins, John H. Heller · 1963

Four sizes of polystyrene latex, starch grains, and gelatin-coated polystyrene showed a voltage-dependent, frequency-specific loss of negative surface charge when exposed to radio-frequency fields. Each particle size had a specific frequency at which maximum reduction in electrophoretic mobility occurred, for example 1.305 y-diam PSL at 13 000 Mc/sec and starch grains at 7.50 Mc/sec. The lost charge recovered linearly over hours, with larger particles taking longer, but a one-minute exposure to a different frequency restored the original charge. At high particle concentrations no mobility change occurred, yet diluting an already-exposed concentrated suspension caused its mobility to drop to the level it would have had if exposed while dilute.

AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF MICROWAVE RADIATION IN RELATION TO THE EYE

Russell L. Carpenter · 1962

Researchers exposed rabbit eyes to continuous wave or pulsed wave microwave radiation at frequencies of 2450 mc, 8236 mc, 9375 mc, and 10,050 mc. Single exposures produced opacities in the posterior cortex at 2450 mc and in the anterior cortex at the higher frequencies. Biochemical changes included an early decrease in lens ascorbic acid content and water accumulation as opacities developed. The study found evidence of non-thermal effects on the lens in addition to thermal effects.
