The Effects of Microwave Irradiated on Rabbit's ICP

전자기파 조사가 실험동물의 뇌압에 미치는 영향

Damages on central nervous system induced by the exposure of microwave. However, the effects of microwave on ICP are not studied yet. The ICP affected by the condition of the brain has an significant effect on vital sign. So we investigated the changes of ICP of the rabbits after exposure. Twenty four rabbits were devided into 3 groups depending on the amount of exposure to microwave. One group was composed with 8 rabbits were exposed to microwave for 10 miniutes. Other were composed to microwave for 20 miniutes, 30 miniures, respectively. Intracranial pressure on each group were measured by subdural type ICP monitoring catheter immediately, first day, 3rd day, 5th day and 7th day after exposure of microwave. Results indicates that intracranial pressure of rabbits are not affected with statistical significance by exposure of microwave.

전자기파에 조사된 후 시간경과에 따라 측정한 24마리의 가토의 뇌압을 분석한 결과 조사 직후, 조사 하루, 3일 후, 5일 후, 7일 후에 측정된 각각의 뇌압과 조사전 뇌압간에는 유의성 있는 변화는 없었고 조사 시간(10분, 20분, 30분)에 따라 나누어진 각군의, 조사 후 뇌압 변화 역시 유의성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이 실험으로 전자기파의 조사는 뇌압의 경미한 변화는 초래할 수 있지만 통계적으로 유의한 변화는 일으키지 않는다고 판단된다.
