Multiple increase in productivity of the yeast at reducing the fraction of D2O in water.

We found a two-fold increase in the productivity of baker's yeast grown on a nutrient mixture prepared in light water with a D2O content (127 ppm) smaller than in the distilled water (150 ppm). The number of water monomers that provides the biosynthetic activity (water transport through membrane channels) of yeast cells with an increased CO2 yield was determined for the first time. We established that the selectivity of cell membrane channels in water of different composition depends not only on the motion of ortho-and para-spin H2O isomers in solution, as was shown earlier, but also on the concentration of D2O.

[Functional characteristics of yeast cells in nutrient aqueous solution enriched with ortho-H2O isomers].

It has been experimentally established that cultivation of yeast cells in depleted, dietary or normal nutrient aqueous solutions enriched with ortho-H2O spin isomers is accompanied by an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide produced by the cells and an increase in their biomass. It has been revealed that the rate of metabolic processes and biological activity depends on the quality of nutrition and enhances in time in both nutrient solutions. In contrast, the reproductive function and the rate of cell division are insusceptible to the components of nutrition, but intensified in a solution enriched with ortho-H2O similar to retardation of aging. The observed effects are discussed in assumption that an increase of a portion of ortho-H2O molecules occurs in the neighborhood of water channels in the cell membrane that let through only monomers of H2O and determine the rate of metabolic processes.

Depending on energy, spatial-temporal, modulation and other characteristics of an electromagnetic field, properties of a subject, exposure settings and possible interaction of other attendant factors microwaves may have either stabilizing, wholesome and even therapeutic or negative (damaging) effects on biological and ecological objects and systems. Therefore, there are two interrelated problems to be addressed. One is electromagnetic safety of and health provisions for humans exposed to EMF and EMR and the other, effective utilization of microwave EMF and EMR for biomedical and other purposes associated with enhancement of viability of organisms. The light-oxygen effect of laser radiation is gaining footing in therapy where it is used to activate or destroy biological systems by optical radiation at a specified light dose. Thus, low-intensity laser radiation can be used to improve viability and high-intensity laser radiation, to treat cancers.

[Possible modification of radiation injury using radio frequency electromagnetic radiation]. / Vozmozhnost' modifikatsii luchevogo porazheniia élektromagnitnym izlecheniem radiochastotnogo diapazona.

The possibility of radioprotective action of electromagnetic fields and radiations in radiofrequency range have been considered. It has been shown that the EMF and EMR effects depend on parameters of acting field. It is necessary to establish biophysical and biochemical ways and mechanisms of EMF and EMR action for effective use of radioemissions as radioprotectors.

[Mechanisms of biophysical effects of microwaves]. / Mekhanizmy biofizicheskogo deistviia mikrovoli.

According to our and other investigators theoretical and experimental dates biophysical effects of microwaves are defined by thermal and specific biological action. Specific influence are realized by more delicate and precise ways and mechanisms of absorption and molecular relaxation of microwave energy, energy-informative interaction of radio-emission with biosystem. It include three mechanisms: synchronisation of oscillatory processes (oscillators) of irradiated object in acting electromagnetic field; selective influence of microwaves on the biomembranes, on nervous and other highly-organized systems of living organism, on the complex formation processes and fermentative activity; resonance phenomena. These mechanisms connected with parameters of acting electromagnetic field and with electrical, magnetic and other properties of biological systems.

[Influence of ultra-high electromagnetic irradiation on the electrophoretic mobility of erythrocytes]. / O vliianii sverkhvysokochastotnogo élektromagnitnogo oblucheniia na élektroforeticheskuiu podvizhnost' éritrotsitov.

Under the effect of superhigh-frequency electromagnetic irradiation within the range of 1009 MHZ shifts of electrophoretic mobility (EM) are revealed in human erythrocytes. These shifts depend on the duration and intensity of irradiation. They are accounted for by two causes, i. e. by the deformation of the double electric layer and structural reconstructions of erythrocyte membranes which result from phase transition of structurated water of the membrane into a more liquid state. The EM shifts are reversible.

[Infrared spectra of erythrocyte shadows in the region of the amide I and amide II bands following microwave irradiation]. / Infrakrasnye spektry tenei éritrotsitov v oblasti polos amid I i amid II pri mikrovolnovom obluchenii

No beta-structures of protein molecules were observed by IR-spectra of intact erythrocyte shadows. Ultra high frequency irradiation in the range of 1009 mHz intensity of 45 mW/cm3 results in small conformational reconstructions of molecules in the membrane, but it does not induce a notable transition of alpha-helix or coil into beta-structure. A decrease of the intensity of lipid band by 1740 cm-1 is shown up at the spectra. Deuterium exchange for 36--38 min shows that the transition of the band amide II near 1540 cm-1 into the band 1450 cm-1 proceeds faster under UHF irradiation than in the control. The effects observed are in a direct relation-ship with the intensity of UHF-field and disappear at the intensities of 5--8 mW/cm3 and lower.
