The coordinated migration of keratinocytes is crucial to cutaneous wound healing; failure of keratinocytes to migrate into a wound can lead to chronic non-healing wounds. Keratinocyte migration can be influenced by applied electrical fields. Our aim was to investigate whether keratinocyte migration could be accelerated by applying an induced biphasic pulsed electrical field. We developed two in vitro biological systems models for this purpose: a keratinocyte colony-forming model and a reconstituted skin wound healing model with biphasic pulsed currents. Our in vitro skin models were capable of generating trans-epithelial potentials (TEP) similar to in vivo mammalian skin. Histological examination of the wound healing model also indicated that re-epithelialization occurred in a similar manner to that seen in vivo, although no evidence of a reconstitution of a basement membrane was seen during the 14 days in vitro experimental period. We found that growth of keratinocyte colonies and keratinocyte migration in an in vitro wound bed were not significantly affected by induced short duration biphasic pulsed currents at a frequency of 0.5 Hz of 100 and 200 mV/mm.

Low-loss microwave dielectrics are of significant importance for the miniaturization and integration of microwave devices. In this paper, the ceramics of nominal composition MgTiO ( = 3-6) are synthesized, and the correlations among their phase compositions, defect behaviors, and microwave dielectric properties are systematically investigated. The analyses indicate that the MgTiO ceramics are a biphasic system consisting of hexagonal ilmenite-structured MgTiO and cubic spinel-structured MgTiO.

Development of cortical visual prostheses requires optimization of evoked responses to electrical stimulation to reduce charge requirements and improve safety, efficiency, and efficacy. One promising approach is timing stimulation to the local field potential (LFP), where action potentials have been found to occur preferentially at specific phases. To assess the relationship between electrical stimulation and the phase of the LFP, we recorded action potentials from primary (V1) and secondary (V2) visual cortex in marmosets while delivering single-pulse electrical microstimulation at different phases of the local field potential.

Objectives: Biphasic sinusoidal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment that has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Recent advances suggest that standard rTMS may be improved by altering the pulse shape; however, there is a paucity of research investigating pulse shape, owing primarily to the technologic limitations of currently available devices. This pilot study examined the feasibility, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of biphasic and monophasic rectangular rTMS for TRD.

Seizures elicited by corneal 6-Hz stimulation are widely acknowledged as a model of temporal lobe seizures. Despite the intensive research in rodents, no studies hint at this model in developing animals. We focused on seven age groups of both male and female rats.
