Objectives: To explore intervention with electromagnetic noise for co-suppression effect on gap-junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) induced or strengthened by low intensity magnetic field with carcinogen 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA).

Methods: Fibroblast cells from NIH 3T3 mice were exposed to extremely low intensity magnetic field (MF) 0.2 mT, 0.2 mT + TPA or/and electromagnetic noise with the same intensity of MF for 24 h, and GJIC was determined using fluorescence recovery analysis after photobleaching (FRAP) with a laser-scanning confocal microscope (Leica, Germany).

Results: GJIC function could be co-suppressed by MF of 0.2 mT with TPA, with fluorescence recovery of (23 +/- 11)%, lower than that in the control group [(46 +/- 19)%] and in the group with TPA only [(34 +/- 17) %] (P < 0.01), indicating 0.2 mT MF plus TPA could co-inhibit GJIC (P < 0.01). Superposition of 0.2 mT noise MF could get a fluorescence recovery of (35 +/- 19)% and significantly antagonize its co-suppression by TPA.

Conclusion: Electromagnetic noise of 0.2 mT could block the intensifying effect of power frequency magnetic field on TPA-induced GJIC inhibition.

Freezing extends the shelf life of foods but often leads to structural damage due to ice crystal formation, negatively impacting quality attributes. Oscillating magnetic field (OMF)-assisted supercooling has emerged as a potential technique to overcome these limitations by inhibiting ice nucleation and maintaining foods in a supercooled state. Despite its potential, the effectiveness and underlying mechanisms of OMF-assisted supercooling remain subjects of debate.

Background And Purpose: The cortical high-flow sign has been more commonly reported in oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant and 1p/19q-codeleted (ODG IDHm-codel) compared to diffuse glioma with IDH-wildtype or astrocytoma, IDH-mutant. Besides tumor types, higher grades of glioma might also contribute to the cortical high flow. Therefore, we investigated whether the histological cortical vascular density or CNS WHO grade was associated with the cortical high-flow sign in patients with ODG IDHm-codel.

Realizing spin-orbit torque (SOT)-driven magnetization switching offers promising opportunities for the advancement of next-generation spintronics. However, the relatively low charge-spin conversion efficiency accompanied by an ultrahigh critical switching current density () remains a significant obstacle to the further development of SOT-based storage elements. Herein, spin absorption engineering at the ferromagnet/nonmagnet interface is firstly proposed to achieve high SOT efficiency in Pt/Co/Ir trilayers.

Reducing the time required for the detection of bacteria in blood samples is a critical area of investigation in the field of clinical diagnosis. Positive blood culture samples often require a plate culture stage due to the interference of blood cells and proteins, which can result in significant delays before the isolation of single colonies suitable for matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) analysis. In this study, we developed a non-specific enrichment strategy based on SiO-encapsulated FeO nanoparticles combined with MALDI-TOF MS for direct identification of bacteria from aqueous environments or positive blood culture samples.
