Information fields of written texts protect cells from oxidative damage and accelerate repair.

Objective: Written words demonstrated specific effects on biochemical measures and cell growth in cultured mammalian cells in previous study. We examined the protection and reparative effects of Chinese texts with positive meaning and the word "Buddha" on oxidative-damaged cells, with the goal of exploring the therapeutic effect of such characters.

Methods: The human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293T was utilized, with the oxidative- damaged cell model produced by hydrogen peroxide (HO).

Effects of different music on HEK293T cell growth and mitochondrial functions.

Background: Mitochondria are considered a portal to receive, process and integrate external energy and information to maintain cellular homeostasis. Previous studies demonstrated that mitochondrial function and antioxidant capacity of in-vitro cultured mammalian cells is modified by different energetic stimuli including electromagnetic energy, acoustic energy, external Qi and subtle energy emitted by written texts in relatively short time frames. Thus, individual cells can act as a rapid and sensitive biological sensor and act as a platform to evaluate and understand the subtle effect of different biophysical stimuli.

Exploring the Biochemical Basis of the Meridian Tropism Theory for the Qi-Invigorating Traditional Chinese Medicine Herb .

We examined the effect of the Qi-invigorating Traditional Chinese Medicines (TCM) herb () on mitochondrial functions and cellular antioxidant capacity in different organs of mice. We found that the extracts had a significant effect on tissues of mice, with the generation of total adenylate pool (TAP) enhanced in all visceral tissues, but not for the brain. The mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and antioxidant capacity reflected by superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) increased only for the meridian tissues that belongs to including Heart, Spleen and Lung.

Effect of information fields from written texts on cell growth and mitochondrial functions in-vitro: An exploratory study.

Objective: Mitochondria are considered a portal to receive, process and integrate external energy and information to maintain cellular homeostasis. We examined the effect of Chinese texts with positive and negative meaning on the growth and mitochondrial functions using a mouse kidney collecting duct cell line called M1 cells.

Methods: To avoid skewing the results due to differential handling of the cells or analyzing the results, we conducted experiments by keeping the texts and blanks covered in brown opaque envelopes, exposed the cells to randomly selected envelopes and examined the differences over time.

Rate limiting factors for DNA transduction induced by weak electromagnetic field.

DNA transduction across aqueous solutions has been reported previously. In this study, we examined a few key factors affecting DNA transduction rate in an extremely low frequency electromagnetic field. These include: the chemical composition of the aqueous solutions, the type of experimental vessel, the dilution step, and the origin of the DNA fragments.

Physiologic mechanisms of sequential products synthesis in 1,3-propanediol fed-batch fermentation by Klebsiella pneumoniae.

The glycerol fed-batch fermentation by Klebsiella pneumoniae CGMCC 1.6366 exhibited the sequential synthesis of products, including acetate, 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PD), 2,3-butanediol, ethanol, succinate, and lactate. The dominant flux distribution was shifted from acetate formation to 1,3-PD formation in early- exponential growth phase and then to lactate synthesis in late-exponential growth phase.
