CHANGE IN ELECTROKINETIC PROPERTIES OF THE BUCCAL EPITHELIUM CELL KERNELS UNDER THE ACTION OF A MICROWAVE ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD

Abstract

An electrophoretic mobility of the cell kernels is one of the physiological factors of a human organism state. Therefore, investigation of change in that parameter under the influence of the external factors (in this context a microwave field) is a currently central problem. In this paper the results of electrokinetic factors study of buccal epithelium cells are presented. Patients with a discirculatory encephalopathy and acute disorder of the cerebral circulation have been studied. The main method of investigation was the method of intracellular microelectrophoresis of cell nuclei. The studied parameter, electrophoretic mobility of the cell nuclei (EMN, %) index, represents the number of negatively charged nuclei in the sample of cells. It has been found that the action by the wavelength l = 7.1 mm (one of the biologically active wavelength) has culminated in the change in electrophoretic mobility of cell nuclei index. These changes depend on the level of disease and thus, on the organism reaction to an external irritation. The investigated results may be useful in medical application for disease difficulty determination and pharmacological treatment selection.
