Static magnetic field action on some markers of inflammation in animal model system—in vivo

Experimentally induced acute inflammation in rats is a good model system which includes the complexity and dynamics of the processes; moreover there are many defined markers for following and estimating changes in an observed system. In this paper, we discuss an in vivo model of acute inflammation induced by carrageenan. Carrageenan-induced paw edema is a model of non-infectious acute inflammatory reaction to assess the contribution of mediators involved in vascular changes associated with acute inflammation and potential treatments. A complex approach into the investigation of possible effects of static magnetic fields (SMF) action on experimentally induced acute inflammation in rats (by measurements of the levels of specific stress markers) is very important in understanding the possible inflammatory mitigation effects, pain relief, and oxidative stress state of an organism. This approach could help for better understanding of the possible mechanisms of interaction of dynamic processes such as inflammation healing and pain relief with external SMF (25 mT at 10, 20 and 30 min exposure time). Results indicate that SMF with B = 25 mT for 30 min diminished the inflammatory process and decreased the levels of inflammatory markers (fibrinogen) and stress markers (ACTH, Cor) into the blood plasma in rats as when compared with sham exposed animals. The exact mechanism by which SMF contributes to the acceleration of inflammatory healing and decrease of inflammation markers in blood plasma in rats still remains unclear. We assume that two possible mechanisms exist. One is the direct interaction of SMF with free active oxygen forms (free radicals) affected by their membrane processes and related with the physiological functions. Another possible mechanism might be related to dynamic regulation of inflammation healing process.

Fractal structures of single-walled carbon nanotubes in biologically relevant conditions: Role of chirality vs. media conditions

Aggregate structure of covalently functionalized chiral specific semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) was systematically studied employing static light scattering (SLS). Fractal dimensions (D_f) of two specific chirality SWNTs—SG65 and SG76 with (6, 5) and (7, 6) chiral enrichments—were measured under four biological exposure media conditions, namely: Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), Minimum Essential Medium (MEM), Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 medium, and 0.9% saline solution. The SWNTs exhibited chiral dependence on D_f with SG65 showing more fractal or loosely bound aggregate structures, i.e., lower D_f values (range of 2.24 ± 0.03 to 2.64 ± 0.05), compared to the SG76 sample (range of 2.58 ± 0.13 to 2.90 ± 0.08). All the D_f values reported are highly reproducible, measured from multiple SLS runs and estimated with ‘random block-effects’ statistical analysis that yielded all p values to be <0.001. The key mechanism for such difference in D_f between the SWNT samples was identified as the difference in van der Waals (VDW) interaction energies of these samples, where higher VDW of SG76 resulted in tighter packing density. Effect of medium type showed lower sensitivity; however, presence of di-valent cations (Ca²⁺) in DMEM and MEM media resulted in relatively loose or more fractal aggregates. Moreover, presence of fetal bovine serum (FBS) and bovine serum albumin (BSA), used to mimic the in vitro cell culture condition, reduced the D_f values, i.e., created more fractal structures. Steric hindrance to aggregation was identified as the key mechanism for creating the fractal structures. Also, increase in FBS concentration from 1% to 10% resulted in increasingly lower D_f values.
