Influence of an inhomogeneous magnetic field on erythrocyte aggregation mechanism—an analysis by He–Ne laser aggregometer

In this work a method that monitors the dynamics of blood sedimentation using a light transmission method is presented. This technique consists of the illumination of a whole capillary column of blood using a laser and detecting the transmitted light at different heights simultaneously. In order to show the potential of this method, male fish blood samples modified in its composition by the action of several treatments were studied. The experimental groups were a control group, another treated with estradiol, and the third treated with a pesticide dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane. It is shown that the sedimentation process is strongly dependent on the height of the detection and that this affects the resolution of the measurement.

The interaction of static magnetic field (SMF) with living organisms is a rapidly growing field of investigation. Recently, exposure to moderate intensity SMFs (1 mT – 1 T) has attracted much attention for its various medical applications. This study was designed to show the microscopic effect of SMF on erythrocytes in vitro. For this purpose SMF system was constructed in my lab on basis of the idea of cell tracking velocimetry system. The changes in erythrocytes surface area, sphericity, and adhesion number for erythrocytes were calculated to quantify the effect of SMF on erythrocytes characterizations. The results showed that SMF increased erythrocytes surface area and reduced their sphericity. The adhesion number of erythrocytes under the influence of SMF showed the tendency of erythrocytes to adhere with each other. These findings indicate that more study on microscopic scales must be carried out in order to investigate the effect of SMF on erythrocytes
