Global Analysis of Transcriptional Expression in Mice Exposed to Intermediate Frequency Magnetic Fields Utilized for Wireless Power Transfer Systems.

Background: Intermediate frequency magnetic fields (IF-MFs) at around 85 kHz are a component of wireless power transfer systems used for charging electrical vehicles. However, limited data exist on the potential health effects of IF-MFs. We performed a comprehensive analysis of transcriptional expression in mice after IF-MF exposure.

Exposure time-dependent thermal effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure on the whole body of rats.

We investigated the thermal effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) on the variation in core temperature and gene expression of some stress markers in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 2.14 GHz wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA) RF signals at a whole-body averaged specific absorption rate (WBA-SAR) of 4 W/kg, which causes behavioral disruption in laboratory animals, and 0.

The effects of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields on T cell function during development.

With the widespread use of radio-frequency devices, it is increasingly important to understand the biological effects of the associated electromagnetic fields. Thus, we investigated the effects of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) on T cell responses during development due to the lack of science-based evidence for RF-EMF effects on developmental immune systems. Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were exposed to 2.

Sex-discordant twins despite single embryo transfer: a report of two cases.

We report two extremely rare cases in which the patients delivered male and female infants that were dizygotic twins (DZT) despite single embryo transfer. : The patient was a 35-year-old woman with a 9-year history of unexplained infertility. In an oocyte retrieval cycle, one blastocyst was transferred; at 26 weeks of gestation, she delivered a 704-g female infant and a 420-g male infant by cesarean section.

Lack of promotion activity of diacylglycerol oil on 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide induced carcinogenesis in the oral cavity of SD rats.

A recent study using c-Ha-ras proto-oncogene transgenic (rasTg) rats demonstrated possible enhancing effects of diacylglycerol (DAG) on 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO) induced carcinogenesis of the tongue. To assess effects in their Sprague-Dawley back strain, a two-stage carcinogenesis study using 4NQO as an initiator was performed. Groups of 30 male rats were initially treated with 4NQO at a dose of 10ppm in the drinking water for the first 10 weeks followed after a 1 week recovery interval by 11% DAG, 5.

Induction of characteristic hepatocyte proliferative lesion with dietary exposure of Wistar Hannover rats to tocotrienol for 1 year.

Tocotrienol is an antioxidant which has found commercial application as a food additive and health supplement all over the world. Since there have been no reports regarding toxicological effects of long-term exposure, we performed a 52-week chronic study using Wistar Hannover rats of both sexes given the compound at doses of 0, 0.08, 0.

A successful pregnancy outcome using frozen testicular sperm from a chimeric infertile male with a 46, XX/46, XY karyotype: case report.

Background: We report a very rare case of the successful delivery of a healthy infant fathered by an infertile chimera.

Methods: ICSI was performed using frozen sperm. The karyotypes of peripheral lymphocytes were examined with a G-banding stain.
