Abstract

Electromagnetic waves may induce various effects on nervous tissues either by thermal or non-thermal mechanisms. This paper intoduces a method to evalute the non-thermal effect to central nervous system by measuring the EEGs of the rabbits treated by nimodipine before exposed to weak microwave field. 20 rabbits were divided into 2 groups and their EEGs were measured after their head section were exposed to 2,450 MHz microwave with the power density of 10 dBm and 20 dBm respectively for 10 minutes and compared with those of the 3rd group of 10 rabbits which were not exposed. The 4th group of 10 rabbits were intravenously given with nimodipine before exposed to 20 dBm field to determine whether this drug would reverse the EEGs changes induced by weak microwave irradiation. As field poser exceeded 20 dBm although no significant physiological changes were observed, total induced EEGs power was remarkably decreased suggesting the presence of CNS activation. Using Fourier analysis on the EEGs signal it was found that remarkable decrease in delta band and increase in the alpha and beta bands in a significant manner(P<0.05) compared to control group. The changes were, however, not reversed by nimodipine-treatment. The effects may be pure thermal in nature because no significant change has been observed in nimodipine treated rabbits.

전자파는 열적 또는 비열적 작용에 의해 신경조직에 다양한 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 미세한 전자파에 노출되기 전에 칼슘통로차단제인 nimodipine 처리를 한 토끼의 EEG를 측정함으로써 전자파 조사시 중추신경계의 반응 및 그것에 대한 nimodipine의 영향을 평가하려고 하였다. 10마리씩 이루어진 두 집단의 토끼에 각기 10dBm, 20dBm의 전력밀도를 가진 2,450 MHz의 전자파를 10분간 조사한 후 EEG 신호를 측정하여 전자파에 노출되지 않은 다른 10 마리의 토끼의 EEG 신호와 비교하였다. 그다음 20 dBm의 전자파에 노출시키기 전에 nimodipine을 정맥주사한 토끼의 뇌파를 생리식염수만 주사한 토끼의 뇌파와 비교하였다. 10dBm의 전자파 조사시에는 뇌파의 변화가 없었으나, 20 dBm의 전자파 조사시 EEG 전압의 감소 및 delta bank의 현저한 감소와 alpha 및 beta band 의 현저한 감소와 alpha 및 beta band의 증가를 알아낼 수 있었다. 그러나 국소적인 혈관 주위 염증반응 이외의 뇌세포의 이상소견은 관찰되지 않았다. 그리고 이러한 변화는 nimodipine 처리에 따른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 전자파조사시 nimodipine처리한 토끼의 뇌파에서 처리하지 않은 토끼와의 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 못했기 때문에 이러한 효과는 열적 효과로 보여진다.
