Versuche über den Einfluß elektromagnetischer Wellen auf die Reaktionsfähigkeit von Zellen und Geweben III. Mitteilung: Einfluß der Bestrahlung mit Rotlicht und Mikrowellen auf die Pinocytose von FL-Zellkulturen

Silke Heller · 1972

FL cells grown in tubes on plastic foil were inoculated with ink that had been irradiated with infrared and/or microwaves, then some cells were irradiated themselves, and uptake of ink particles was recorded. Irradiation of the ink with red light followed by irradiation of the cells with cm-waves yielded the highest number of cells that had taken up ink, and this difference from the non-irradiated group was statistically significant. The results indicated a maximum value for the uptake of ink particles into the cells.

Nonionizing Electromagnetic Wave Effects in Biological Materials and Systems

Curtis C. Johnson, Arthur W. Guy · 1972

The paper summarizes related work in the literature and presents new results. High radiation intensities can produce burns, cataracts, and chemical changes. Biological effects have been reported at lower intensities, but it is not known if they are harmful. Most effects are not harmful under controlled conditions and can be used for therapeutic purposes and diagnostic measurements.

THE FUNCTIONAL CONDITION OF THE ADRENAL CORTEX IN SHIP SPECIALISTS WHO ARE SUBJECTED TO THE ACTION OF A SUPER-HIGH FREQUENCY FIELD

B.G. AFANAS-YEV, I.M. Suvorov · 1968

Researchers studied 38 radio operators with 200 to 1800 hours of exposure and 22 controls under similar conditions. They assessed adrenal cortex function by measuring urinary 17-ketosteroids, 17-oxycorticosteroids, and sodium-potassium ratio. No reliable difference was found in sodium-potassium coefficient between exposed and control groups. Steroid excretion did not differ between operators with more than 300 hours and less than 200 hours of exposure. The androgenic, glucocorticoid, and mineralocorticoid functions of the adrenal cortex did not differ from the norm in the persons who were investigated.

Effect of Microwaves at X-Band on Guinea-pig Skin in Tissue Culture - 2. Effect of the Radiation on Skin Biochemistry

SHIRLEY A. CARNEY, J. C. LAWRENCE, C. R. RICKETTS · 1968

Researchers exposed small pieces of guinea-pig skin to a uniform field of X-band microwaves at 8,730 MHz. Measurements showed that 26% of the incident energy was reflected, 34.4 was absorbed, and the remaining 40% was transmitted. Exposure caused a graded reduction in phosphate uptake into phospholipid, nucleic acid, and phosphoprotein fractions, a graded reduction in sulphate uptake with increasing energy density, and a significant reduction in proline uptake into collagen at the three highest power densities.
