Electrical Behavior of Cartilage during Loading

C. Andrew L. Bassett, Robert J. Pawluk · 1972

The epiphyseal plate was negative to bone, while the articular cartilage surface was positive to its deep zone. Voltages ranged from 100 to 400 xv in tracheal cartilage up to 1 to 4 mv in articular cartilage and meniscus.

Stimulation of Partial Limb Regeneration in Rats

R. O. Becker · 1972

Control animals with no device or very low current showed minimal growth, while high current caused bone destruction. The experimental device produced a current of 3-6 nA. Rats receiving this current frequently developed organized regrowth of the distal humerus with epiphyseal centers. In animals with higher growth scores, new organized skeletal muscle formed distal to the amputation line along with ingrowth of nerves and blood vessels, and the authors concluded that appropriate electrical stimulation can restore regenerative growth in mammals.

MICROWAVES—A PUBLIC MENACE?

Unknown authors · 1972

Dr. Zaret examined over 400 individuals referred for microwave exposure during military studies between 1960 and 1971. One out of ten of those individuals had capsular opacity that would later develop into full-fledged cataracts. Microwave cataracts differ from normal ones by developing in the capsule and spreading gradually to the lens. These cataracts do not appear until at least five years after exposure, a delay Dr. Zaret calls a "time-bomb" quality.

DOSIMETRY STUDIES ON A UHF CAVITY EXPOSURE CHAMBER FOR RODENTS

Arthur W. Guy, Susan F. Korbel · 1972

Absorbed power density patterns were measured by thermographic techniques in simple phantom models of 227 gm rodents exposed to 500 MHz EM energy in a cavity type exposure chamber. The peak measured values varied between 0.35 and 90 mW /em? when the models were placed in fields corresponding to 1 mW/em= or lower of indicated power density. Peak absorption was highly dependent on posture and position of the phantom and was found to be as high as three orders of magnitude greater than that calculated for flat layered or equivalent spherical tissue models exposed to an incident plane wave with the same indicated power density.

CHANGES IN ACTIVITY OF CERTAIN ENZYMES IN THE CELLS OF CORTI'S ORGAN IN GUINEA PIGS FOLLOWING LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO MICROWAVES

E. Boczynski, R. Zyss · 1972

Researchers exposed guinea pigs to microwave radiation of 10 em wavelength and 2 mW/cm! intensity for 4 hours daily over 25 or 50 days. They measured succinyl dehydrogenase, lactic dehydrogenase, and acetylcholinesterase activity in Corti's organ cells using histochemical methods. Exposure decreased succinyl dehydrogenase and acetylcholinesterase activity while increasing lactic dehydrogenase activity, and these changes disappeared 30 days after exposure stopped.

Treatment of Soft-tissue Injuries by Pulsed Electrical Energy

D. H. Wilson · 1972

Twenty matched pairs of patients with recent ankle sprains received either active pulsed high-frequency electrical energy or a placebo treatment for one hour daily over three days. Treated patients showed about twice the percentage improvement of placebo patients in each category, with pain improving 74.4 versus 32.4 and disability 86.9 versus 43.9. Statistical analysis found the active treatment significantly preferable for pain, disability, and total scores, with all matched-pair P values below 0.05.

Clinical Aspects of Nonionizing Radiation

Milton M. Zaret · 1972

The author reviewed clinical ocular injuries from nonionizing radiation, distinguishing between visible and invisible wavelengths. In workers exposed to high-intensity light sources, macular hyperpigmentation and depigmentation were each found ten times more often than in the general population. Retinal burns and melanomata were each observed in 1 percent of the examined workers.

Lethal Effects of Radiofrequency Energy on Eggs of Tenebrio molitor (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

P. S. Rai, H. J. Ball, S. O. Nelson, L. E. Stetson · 1972

Researchers exposed Tenebrio molitor eggs to 39-MHz radiofrequency electric fields at electrode voltages of 2 to 4 kilovolts for 2 to 64 seconds. Percent hatch of 1- and 3-day-old eggs decreased as RF energy level increased, and 1-day-old eggs were more susceptible than 3-day-old eggs. No larvae survived from 1-day-old eggs treated at 4 kilovolts for 32 and 64 seconds, while 3-day-old eggs treated similarly showed low but higher larval survival.
