Influence of the sinusoidal electromagnetic field of 50 Hz/0,5 mT on adherence of leucocytes acquired from blood of patients with head and neck carcinoma
Abstract
Our recent work shows that T-lymphocytes acquired from blood of the patients with laryngeal and pharyngeal carcinoma demonstrate (after adding the antigen) limited adherence ability as compared with T-lymphocytes of the check group (voluntary blood donors); monitored with the help of the adherence inhibition test of leucocytes. The ability of leucocytes adherence is given by the index of positiveness (IP) that expresses the number of non-adherent T-lymphocytes.
After exposition to an external sinusoidal electromagnetic field of the intensity of 50 Hz/0.5 mT, the ability of adherence in vitro of T-lymphocytes acquired from blood of the patients increases statistically significantly up to the level of statistic importance worth 0.0001, reaching the values of IP to the marginal value corresponding to that of healthy people. Also the exposition of T-lymphocytes of the check group win statistically significantly increase their ability of adherence.
If the ability of adherence of T-lymphocytes is a demonstration of the cell-mediated immunity, then it holds good that external sinusoidal electromagnetic field of 50 Hz/0.5 mT positively influences the cell-mediated immunity both in healthy people and people with laryngeal and pharyngeal carcinoma.
