Objective: To investigate the effect of 50 Hz 0.1 mT sinusoidal electromagnetic field at different time points on bone mineral density(BMD)and histomorphometry in rats.
Methods: Totally 50 6-week-old female SD rats were equally randomized into 5 groups: control group,45-minute group,90-minute group,180-minute group,and 270-minute group. Except for the control group,the other four groups were given magnetic intervention in the 50-Hz 0.1-mT sinusoidal electromagnetic field for 45 minutes,90 minutes,180 minutes,or 270 minutes,respectively,on a daily basis. After 8 weeks,the total body BMD,femur BMD,and vertebral BMD were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The left tibia and the fifth lumbar vertebrae were separated for bone tissue static and dynamic analyses.
Results: Compared with control group,the 90-minute group and the 180-minute group had significantly different total body BMD(P<0.01,P<0.05),while no such significant difference was seen in the 45-minute group and 270-minute group (P>0.05). The femur,vertebral BMD,serum biochemical markers,and the static parameters of the fifth lumbar vertebrae tissue showed significant differences in the 90-minute group,180-minute group,and 270-minute group(P<0.01),but not in the 45-minute group (P>0.05). As shown by double fluorescent labeling,the distance was sorted in an order of 90-minute group>180-minutes group>270-minute group>45-minutes group>control group.
Conclusion: The 50-Hz 0.1-mT sinusoidal electromagnetic field can effectively increase bone mineral density and improve bone morphology;however,the intervention effectiveness differs at different time points,with the best effectiveness seen at 90 minutes.

The utilization of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanofluids in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) has gained attention due to their ability to alter the interfacial tension (IFT) of reservoir rocks. However, the influence of electromagnetic (EM) waves on these nanofluids, particularly when doped with manganese (Mn), remains underexplored. The interaction mechanisms between EM waves and Mn-doped FeO nanofluids are not well understood, limiting their application in EOR.

Laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) is a non-invasive, powerful, and cost-effective imaging technique that has seen widespread adoption across various medical fields, particularly for blood flow imaging. While LSCI provides physicians with valuable insights into changes or occlusions in blood flow, the technique is susceptible to various factors and parameters that can impact measurement sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). These include the scattering of light, which can affect the quality and reliability of the LSCI data.

Alternating electric current and alternating electromagnetic fields revolutionized physics and engineering and led to many technologies that shape modern life. Despite these undisputable achievements that have been reached using stimulation by harmonic oscillations over centuries, applications in biology remain rare. Photosynthesis research is uniquely suited to unleash this potential because light can be modulated as a harmonic function, here sinus.

Article Synopsis
- Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) are important for regenerative medicine, but their effectiveness is limited by aging due to prolonged culture.
- This study explored using electromagnetic fields (EMF) to rejuvenate aged BMSCs, demonstrating that EMF treatment can partly reverse aging effects and improve stem cell properties.
- The research found that EMF enhances autophagy in aged BMSCs, ultimately promoting better bone formation when transplanted, suggesting a new method for improving stem cell therapy in tissue engineering.
