It has been revealed that MHF irradiation of the animals results in restoration of hemostasis mechanism indices.     

Electromagnetic radiation of the terahertz range at the nitric oxide frequency in correction and prophylaxis of functional activity disorders in thrombocytes of white rats under long-term stress

The influence of electromagnetic waves of terahertz range at the frequencies of molecular spectrum o nitric oxide radiation and absorption on functional activity of thrombocytes in white rats under long-term stress has been studied. It has been shown that courses of THzF treatment applied during the stress can prevent and restore disorders in thrombocytes aggregative function. The stress factor does not induce characteristic of stress-reaction disturbances of microcirculation in animals treated with the preventive course of THzF.     

Restoration of blood rheological properties by means of SWF-irradiation at the frequency of nitric oxide molecular spectrum (in vivo)

We have investigated impact of electromagnetic SWF-oscillations at nitric oxide molecular spectrum of radiation and absorption (MSRA) on rheological blood properties of albino rats under the immobilizing stress. The SWF-irradiation was demonstrated to foster restoration of disordered rheological blood properties, its efficiency depending on the period of irradiation.     

Information EHF-interactions in a system of live objects (human platelets)

The molecular informational interaction has been first detected in a system that involves human platelets, exposed to electromagnetic EHF-fluctuations at frequencies of molecular spectra of radiation and absorption of nitric oxide (150.176-150.644 HHz), and native platelets. It has been established that the incubation of a native platelet rich plasma with a similar plasma, exposed to a 5-minute effect of electromagnetic EHF-fluctuations at frequencies of molecular spectra of radiation and absorption of nitric oxide at a mode of peak and frequent modulation of a signal under in vitro conditions, causes a significant (P < 0.05) inhibition of platelet functional activity in the native plasma, in comparison with control. This was displayed by a decreased platelet activation and falling platelet aggregation ability. Some possible mechanisms of interaction are suggested to explain the described effect.     

Comparative evaluation of the efficiency of the effect of very high frequency electromagnetic waves on platelet functional activity

A comparative analysis was made of the effect of two kinds of EMI MMD-radiation: EMI MMD-waves, generated by a vehicle "Jav-1 M" (42.2 and 53.5 HHz), and EMI MMD-waves exerting influence with frequencies of molecular spectrum of radiation and nitric oxide absorption (150.176-150.644 HHz), obtained with a specially created generator, with respect to their influence on the functional ability of platelets of unstable angina pectoris patients. It was shown that in vitro EMI MMD-fluctuations with frequencies of molecular spectrum of radiation and nitric oxide absorption exert a stronger inhibiting influence on the functional activity of platelets of unstable angina pectoris patients. Features of the action of various kinds of EMI MMD-effect on the activative-high-speed characteristics of platelet aggregation are shown.     

Electromagnetic irradiation of the terahertz diapason at nitric oxide frequencies for correction and prevention of disturbances of platelet functional activity in white rats during long-term stress

The effect of electromagnetic waves of the terahertz diapason at the frequencies of the molecular spectrum of irradiation and absorption of nitric oxide on the functional activity of platelets was studied in white rats submitted to a long-term stress. The course of action of terahertz frequency (THF) during the period of action of the stress was shown to prevent and restore disturbances of platelet aggregatory activity. Stress on animals submitted to a preventive course of THF action did not produce disturbances of the platelet functional activity characteristic of the stress reaction.     

Effect of SWF-radiation on thrombocytes and erythrocyte functions of albino rats upon stress condition

With the help of a specially designed generator, we have investigated the effect of electromagnetic SWF-oscillation, at nitric oxide molecular spectrum of radiation and absorption, on the function of thrombocytes and erythrocytes of albino rats in the state of immobilizing stress. 5, 15 and 30 min long SWF-radiation treatments were demonstrated to foster various degrees of restoration of thrombocyte and erythrocyte function, the efficiency depending on the period of radiation. It was after a 30 min radiation of rats that a most expressed restoration of thrombocyte and erythrocyte functional activity was observed.     

Biological effects of electromagnetic radiation of extremely high frequencies combined with physiologically active compounds

The study of the action of the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) of low intensity (10 microW/cm2) in the range of frequencies 120-170 GHz at the test-reaction of Infusoria Paramecium caudatum was carried out. The resonant character of the effects was established. The EMR action at 156.6 and 161.3 GHz caused the increase of infusorians mobility, the action at frequencies 151.8, 155.7, 167.1 GHz caused the mobility reduction. Isolated and combined with EMR effects of nicotine (10(-4)-10(-15) mol/l) and antimicrobial drug metronidazole (10(-5), 10(-8), 10(-9) mol/l) were investigated. The radiation at the frequency 167.1 GHz was shown to reduce the effect of nicotine (10(-9) mol/l) and to enhance the effect of metronidazole (10(-9) mol/l). This phenomenon may be explained by different effects of the substances in low concentration at the water hydrogen bonds net structure.     

Dependence of microwave effect on the secondary structure of DNA on molecular weight of polynucleotide

The effect of ultralow power pulse-modulated electromagnetic radiation (average power density 60 microW/cm2, carrying frequency 1.05; 2.12; or 2.39 GHz; modulating pulses with frequency 4 Hz) on the secondary structure of DNA was investigated. It was established that the exposure of beta-alanine and formaldehyde containing aqueous DNA solution to electromagnetic radiation had activated the process of DNA despiralization under the action of beta-alanine--formaldehyde reaction product. The effect of electromagnetic radiation on the secondary structure of DNA can be removed by lowering of molecular weight of DNA to 0.46 x 10(6) (at carrying frequency 1.05 GHz), or to 0.25 x 10(3) (at carrying frequency 2.39 GHz).     

The effect of electromagnetic waves of very high frequency of molecular spectra of radiation and absorption of nitric oxide on the functional activity of platelets

A study was made of the effect of electromagnetic EMI MMD-fluctuation on the frequencies of molecular spectra of radiation, and nitric oxide absorption under in vitro conditions on the functional activity of platelets in patients with unstable angina pectoris, with the help of a specially created generator. At amplitude-modulated and continuous modes of EMI MMD-irradiation of platelet-rich plasma for 5, 15 and 30 min the platelet functional activity decreases, which was shown up in reduction of their activation and fall of aggregative ability. The degree, to which platelet functional activity was inhibited, depended on the mode of irradiation and on duration of EMI MMD effect. The most obvious changes in platelet activation and in their readiness to aggregative response were observed at a continuous mode of irradiation within a 15 min interval.     

Molecular dynamics simulations for the prediction of the dielectric spectra of alcohols,glycols and monoethanolamine

The response of molecular systems to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave region (0.3–300 GHz) has been principally studied experimentally, using broadband dielectric spectroscopy. However, relaxation times corresponding to reorganisation of molecular dipoles due to their interaction with electromagnetic radiation at microwave frequencies are within the scope of modern molecular simulations. In this work, fluctuations of the total dipole moment of a molecular system, obtained through molecular dynamics simulations, are used to determine the dielectric spectra of water, a series of alcohols and glycols, and monoethanolamine. Although the force fields employed in this study have principally been developed to describe thermodynamic properties, most them give fairly good predictions of this dynamical property for these systems. However, the inaccuracy of some models and the long simulation times required for the accurate estimation of the static dielectric constant can sometimes be problematic. We show that the use of the experimental value for the static dielectric constant in the calculations, instead of the one predicted by the different models, yields satisfactory results for the dielectric spectra, and hence the heat absorbed from microwaves, avoiding the need for extraordinarily long simulations or re-calibration of molecular models.     

Postresonance electromagnetic absorption by man and animals

A surface integral equation (SIE) method is used to calculate the specific absorption rate (SAR) in spherically capped cylindrical models irradiated by an axially incident electromagnetic plane wave (K polarization) in a frequency range for which calculations previously have not been available (80–400 MHz for man models). In the SIE method, the electromagnetic (EM) field relations are formulated in terms of electric and magnetic currents on the surface of the model. The average SAR is calculated from the far scattered EM fields by means of the forward scattering theorem. SAR data calculated by the SIE method agree with data calculated by the extended boundary condition method (EBCM) for frequencies up to 80 MHz (the upper frequency limit of the EBCM) for man models. For rat models exposed to 1–3 GHz radiation, reasonable agreement was also obtained with the limited experimental data available.     

Influence of electromagnetic radiation on molecular solitons

The soliton model of charge and energy transport in biological macromolecules is used to suggest one of the possible mechanisms for electromagnetic radiation influence on biological systems. The influence of the electromagnetic field (EMF) on molecular solitons is studied both analytically and numerically. Numerical simulations prove the stability of solitons for fields of large amplitude, and allow the study of emission of phonons. It is shown that in the spectra of biological effects of radiation there are two characteristic frequencies of EMFs, one of which is connected with the most intensive energy absorption and emission of sound waves by the soliton, and the other of which is connected with the soliton photodissociation into a delocalized state.     

A simple, economical method for staining gels for cathepsin B-like activity

Radiofrequency radiation is a physical agent that can influence the separation of protein and cells during liquid gel chromatography. In one experiment three globular proteins, bovine serum albumin, ovalbumin, and ribonuclease A were fractionated over crosslinked dextran in the presence of an oscillating electric field (10 MHz, 8500 V/m applied electric field strength). The electric field resulted in accelerated elution of each protein and this occurred in the absence of measurable gel heating (<0.01°C) and at low absorbed power (0.134 W/g). In a second experiment murine lymphocytes were fractionated over immunoglobulin-derived agarose during exposure to 2.5 GHz radiofrequency radiation at an applied electric field strength of 194 V/m. During the cell separation a significant fraction of immunoglobulin-positive lymphocytes experienced premature elution before their routine displacement by mouse immunoglobulin. Monitoring indicated that no gross heating occurred (<0.03°C) and that power absorption was small (0.117 W/kg). Polar biological macromolecules are known to undergo dielectric relaxation at specific electric field frequencies, and the chromatography results are interpreted in terms of a frequency-dependent Debye-Oncley model of interaction. The above findings indicate that radiofrequency radiation chromatography may have potential as a useful technique in the identification and separation of molecular species possessing different dielectric properties.     

Anti-inflammatory effects of low-intensity extremely high-frequency electromagnetic radiation: frequency and power dependence

Using a model of acute zymosan-induced footpad edema in NMRI mice, the frequency and power dependence of anti-inflammatory effect of low-intensity extremely high-frequency electromagnetic radiation (EHF EMR) was found. Single whole-body exposure of animals to EHF EMR at the intensity of 0.1 mW/cm(2) for 20 min at 1 h after zymosan injection reduced both the footpad edema and local hyperthermia on average by 20% at the frequencies of 42.2, 51.8, and 65 GHz. Some other frequencies from the frequency range of 37.5-70 GHz were less effective or not effective at all. At fixed frequency of 42.2 GHz and intensity of 0.1 mW/cm(2), the effect had bell-shaped dependence on exposure duration with a maximum at 20-40 min. Reduction of intensity to 0.01 mW/cm(2) resulted in a change of the effect dependence on exposure duration to a linear one. Combined action of cyclooxygenase inhibitor sodium diclofenac and EHF EMR exposure caused a partial additive effect of decrease in footpad edema. Combined action of antihistamine clemastine and EHF EMR exposure caused a dose-dependent abolishment of the anti-inflammatory effect of EHF EMR. The results obtained suggest that arachidonic acid metabolites and histamine are involved in realization of anti-inflammatory effects of low-intensity EHF EMR.     

The study of the mechanisms of formation of reactive oxygen species in aqueous solutions on exposure to high peak-power pulsed electromagnetic radiation of extremely high frequencies

Using the method of enhanced chemiluminescence in a peroxidase-luminol-p-iodophenol system, we found the formation of reactive oxygen species (in equivalent of hydrogen peroxide concentration) in 1 mM phosphate buffer under the exposure to high peak-power pulsed electromagnetic radiation of extremely high frequencies (37 GHz, peak power 20 kW, pulse width 400 ns, repetition rate 500 Hz). The results obtained show that the formation of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions under the action of electromagnetic radiation is the result of the summary influence of heat and thermoacoustic waves excited in the solutions.     

Membranotropic effects of electromagnetic radiation of extremely high frequency on Escherichia coli

It was found that "sound" electromagnetic radiations of extremely high frequencies (53.5-68 GHz) or millimeter waves (wavelength range of 4.2-5.6 mm) of low intensity (power density 0.01 mW) have a bactericidal effect on Escherichia coli bacteria. It was shown that exposure to irradiation of extremely high frequencies increases the electrokinetic potential and surface change density of bacteria and decreases of membrane potential. The total secretion of hydrogen ions was suppressed, the H+ flux from the cytoplasm to medium decreased, and the flux of N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive potassium ions increased, which was accompanied by changes in the stoichiometry of these fluxes and an increase in the sensitivity of H+ ions to N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The effects depended on duration of exposure: as the time of exposure increased, the bactericidal effect increased, whereas the membranotropic effects decreased. The effects also depended on growth phase of bacteria: the irradiation affected the cells in the stationary but not in the logarithmic phase. It is assumed that the H(+)-ATPase complex F0F1 is involved in membranotropic effects of electromagnetic radiation of extremely high frequencies. Presumably, there are some compensatory mechanisms that eliminate the membranotropic effects.
