Modulation of the Cell Membrane Potential and Intracellular Protein Transport by High Magnetic Fields

To explore cellular responses to high magnetic fields (HMF), we present a model of the interactions of cells with a homogeneous HMF that accounts for the magnetic force exerted on paramagnetic/diamagnetic species. There are various chemical species inside a living cell, many of which may have large concentration gradients. Thus, when an HMF is applied to a cell, the concentration‐gradient magnetic forces act on paramagnetic or diamagnetic species and can either assist or oppose large particle movement through the cytoplasm. We demonstrate possibilities for changing the machinery in living cells with HMFs and predict two new mechanisms for modulating cellular functions with HMFs via (i) changes in the membrane potential and (ii) magnetically assisted intracellular diffusiophoresis of large proteins. By deriving a generalized form for the Nernst equation, we find that an HMF can change the membrane potential of the cell and thus have a significant impact on the properties and biological functionality of cells. The elaborated model provides a universal framework encompassing current studies on controlling cell functions by high static magnetic fields.

Pulsed magnetic fields enhance the rate of recovery of damaged nerve excitability

Pulsed magnetic fields (PMFs) have well‐known beneficial effects on nerve regeneration. However, little research has examined the nerve conduction characteristics of regenerating peripheral nerves under PMF. The main goal of this study was to examine the conduction characteristics of regenerating peripheral nerves under PMFs. The sucrose‐gap recording technique was used to examine the conduction properties of injured sciatic nerves of rats exposed to PMF. Following the injury, peripheral nerves were very sensitive to repetitive stimulation. When the stimulation frequency was increased, the amplitude of the compound action potential (CAP) decreased more at 15 days post‐crush injury (dpc) than at 38 dpc. PMF treatment for 38 days after injury caused significant differences in the conduction of CAPs. Moreover, application of PMF ameliorated the abnormal electrophysiological activities of nerves such as hyperpolarizing afterpotentials and delayed depolarizations that were revealed by 4‐aminopyridine (4‐AP). Consequently, characteristic findings in impulse conduction of recovered nerves under PMF indicate that the observed abnormalities in signaling or aberrant ion channel functions following injury may be restored by PMF application.

Differential Effects of Wave form and the Subject's Possible Temporal Lobe Signs Upon Experiences During Cerebral Exposure to Weak Intensity Magnetic Fields

In three separate experiments a total of 85 male and female university students were exposed within a Ganzfeld setting to weak (1 mG, 100 nT), complex magnetic field patterns. They were applied across the temporal lobes and generated by computer software. When the patterns were rotated spatially over the temporal lobes the numbers of subjective experiences that simulate possible temporal lobe signs and symptoms were markedly increased and qualitatively more extreme than those evoked when the fields were not rotated. A 16 Hz pulsed square wave generated more experiences of thought intrusion than a 4 Hz wave. A positive-feedback ringing wave presented at 4 Hz evoked more visual memories and images than the mirror image of the same wave; the effect was only apparent when the subject's quantitative scores for possible temporal lobe signs was covaried. Only those subjects who displayed above average temporal lobe signs and were exposed to a burst-firing wave pattern for one second once every 4 seconds (a condition intended to release endogenous opiates), reported more emotional perturbations when the state was disrupted relative to subjects who were exposed continuously to the same pattern. The results indicate that a person's temporal lobe profile affects the types and intensities of experiences that are reported when very weak magnetic fields are applied through the human brain.

Assessment of Low-Frequency Magnetic Fields Emitted by DC Fast Charging Columns

The expected imminent widespread use of electromobility in transport systems draws attention to the possible effects of human exposure to magnetic fields generated inside electric vehicles and during their recharge. The current trend is to increase the capacity of the battery inside the vehicles to extend the available driving range and to increase the power of recharging columns to reduce the time required for a full recharge. This leads to higher currents and potentially stronger magnetic fields. The Interoperability Center of the Joint Research Center started an experimental activity focused on the assessment of low-frequency magnetic fields emitted by five fast-charging devices available on the market in recharge and standby conditions. The aim of this study was to contribute to the development of a standard measurement procedure for the assessment of magnetic fields emitted by direct current charging columns. The spectrum and amplitudes of the magnetic field, as well as exposure indices according to guidelines for the general public and occupational exposure, were recorded by means of a magnetic field probe analyzer. The worst-case scenario for instantaneous physical direct and indirect effects was identified. Measurements within the frequency range of 25 Hz–2 kHz revealed localized magnetic flux density peaks above 100 μT at the 50 Hz frequency in three out of five chargers, registered in close proximity during the recharge. Beyond this distance, exposure indices were recorded showing values below 50% of reference levels. Bioelectromagnetics. 2020;41:308–317 © 2020 The Authors.

Proton Hopping: A Proposed Mechanism for Myelinated Axon Nerve Impulses

Myelinated axon nerve impulses travel 100 times more rapidly than impulses in non‐myelinated axons. Increased speed is currently believed to be due to ‘hopping’ or ‘saltatory propagation’ along the axon, but the mechanism by which impulses flow has never been adequately explained. We have used modeling approaches to simulate a role for proton hopping in the space between the plasma membrane and myelin sheath as the mechanism of nerve action‐potential flow.     

Growth of Green Onions in a Weak Permanent Magnetic Field

Effect of a weak permanent magnetic field (PMF) with a strength of 403 A/m on Allium cepaL. bulb sprouting and leaf growth was investigated. Two onion varieties to produce green onions (cv. Arzamasskii) and bulb onions (cv. Ryazanskii) were examined. In addition, the content of chlorophyll, carbohydrates, and protein in the leaves of the control and PMF-treated plants were determined. The plants of the control group were grown under a natural geomagnetic field. The treatment of onions with PMF accelerated sprouting and extended the length of the fourth leaf in cv. Arzamasskii as much as 40%; the first leaf in cv. Ryazanskii was lengthened by 25% with respect to its length in untreated plants. Exposure to PMF increased the number of sprouts in cv. Ryazanskii and the number of sprout bunches in cv. Arzamasskii. In addition, PMF elevated the total content of chlorophyll and protein, expressed per fresh weight of green onions, but had no effect on the total content of carbohydrates. Conversely, PMF reliably reduced the total content of chlorophyll and protein in cv. Ryazanskii. The temperature increase diminished the effects of PMF.

Modification of the Silver Proteinate Impregnation Technique for Protozoa and Cultured Nerve Cells

Silver impregnation with silver-protein compounds is widely used for staining tissue sections and cell cultures. Some authors report that the results obtained with these methods have not always been reproducible because the reagent's composition varies according to the manufacturer. To avoid this problem in the method described in this paper, a silver proteinate, produced in our own laboratory is used. Although our method is based on Bodian's, the modifications we have made allows its use for both free-living cells (protozoa) and cells grown in culture (nerve cells). The significant modifications are 1) different fixation, 2) postfixation with Cajal's for-mol-bromide, 3) changes in the duration of the impregnation steps technique and 4) elimination of metallic copper. The method reported here enables us to use silver proteinate whenever we require it and to control the composition of the silver proteinate. This technique can be used for cells cultured in either plastic or glass.     

Biochemical Studies on 5''-Nucleotidase of Schwann Cells in Degenerated Nerve

This report describes the partial characterization of 5'-nucleotidase (5'-AMPase) in Schwann-cell plasmalemmae (PM) prepared from degenerated cat sciatic nerve. 5'-AMPase was enriched 3.7-fold in the PM fraction over that of the crude homogenate preparation. The plant lectin concanavalin-A (Con-A) reduced Schwann cell PM 5'-AMPase activity in a concentration-dependent manner (30-600 micrograms/ml). Plasma membrane 5'-AMPase activity was maximally inhibited to 20% of control values by Con-A (400-600 micrograms/ml), and activity returned to control levels by pretreatment with the hapten sugar alpha-methyl-D-mannoside (50 mM). Equimolar concentrations of UDP and ADP (100 microM) reduced the rate of hydrolysis of labeled AMP to labeled adenosine in PM to 45% and 35% of control, respectively. This is the first study to characterize a Schwann-cell PM enzyme and demonstrates that 5'-AMPase may be used as a Schwann-cell PM marker enzyme.     

Protective Effects of Moderate Intensity Static Magnetic Fields on Diabetic Mice

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of moderate-intensity static magnetic field (SMF) on diabetic mice. We studied the effects of SMF on blood glucose of normal mice by starch tolerance and glucose tolerance tests. Then, we evaluated the effects of SMF on blood glucose of diabetic mice by establishing alloxan-induced type 1 diabetic mice and high-fat diet + streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 2 diabetic mice. The results showed that different magnetic field intensities and blank control did not affect the blood glucose of normal mice. After starch and glucose administration, different magnetic fields could improve the glucose tolerance of normal mice, and this was obvious in the 600 mT group. In the experiment of type 1 diabetic mice induced by alloxan, the results showed that different magnetic field intensities could improve the starch tolerance of mice, and that in the 400 mT group was obvious. In the experiment of type 2 diabetic mice induced by a high-fat diet + STZ, the 400 mT group could reduce food intake and water consumption in the later period. The 600 mT group could improve the starch tolerance of mice. The 400 and 600 mT groups could reduce fasting blood glucose. At the same time, total cholesterol and triglyceride decreased in different magnetic field intensities, and the 600 mT group could significantly increase the serum insulin content of mice. In summary, the results of this study suggest that SMF has a protective role in diabetic mice. Bioelectromagnetics. © 2020 Bioelectromagnetics Society     

Effect of Weak Sinusoidal Magnetic Field on Germination and Yield of Cotton (Gossypium spp.)

This paper presents the results of a preliminary study on the effects of sinusoidal magnetic fields on percentage germination, growth, and yield of cotton (Gossypium species). The paper covers a brief account of the experimental setup, protocol, and the essential parameters employed. The study was carried out using var.spch‐1 cotton seeds having three different germination capacities (Type 1—31%, Type 2—49%, Type 3—64%). The seeds were subjected to magnetic fields with nine different frequencies and intensities as follows: A. 1 Hz, 100 nT; B. 1 Hz, 1500 nT; C. 1 Hz, 4000 nT; D. 10 Hz, 100 nT; E. 10 Hz, 1500 nT; F. 10 Hz, 4000 nT; G. 100 Hz, 100 nT; H. 100 Hz, 1500 nT; I. 100 Hz, 4000 nT. In Type 3 cotton seeds exposed to 10 Hz, 100 nT fields, the yield was 75.3% higher than that of control, and in Type 2 cotton seeds exposed to 100 Hz, 1500 nT fields, the yield was 85.2% higher than that of control.

The experiment leads to two major clear‐cut findings:

1. Pre‐sowing exposure of seeds to extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields catalyzes certain varieties of cotton to yield as much as double the crop output yielded by unexposed controls.

2. The yield is strongly frequency dependent, i.e., the cotton varieties show outstanding responses only at specific frequencies.
