Investigation of the effects of magnetic field exposure on febrile seizure latency, seizure duration, and electroencephalographic recordings in a rat febrile convulsion model

掲載誌: Turk J Med Sci 2014; 44 (2): 295-304

この研究は、ラットの熱性けいれん潜時持続時間、および脳波(EEG)記録に対する磁界MFばく露の影響を調べた。ラットは6群(各群n=6)に分けた:擬似ばく露(S)群、熱性けいれん(FC)群、MFばく露MF)群、MF+FC群、FC+MF群、MF+FC+MF群(処置順に表記)。熱性けいれん誘発後に、直腸温潜時持続時間、および脳波を測定した。その結果、繰り返しの高温ばく露により、発作潜時持続時間は減少した;MFばく露は、潜時よりも持続時間の減少により大きく影響した;一方、10または12日間のMFばく露発作潜時を増加させた;MFばく露により、シータ波デルタ波の増加、ベータ波の減少が見られた、と報告している。

研究目的(著者による)

The effects of exposure of rats to a 50 Hz magnetic field on latency and duration of febrile (=fever) convulsions and the EEG should be investigated.

詳細情報

36 rats were randomly divided into the following groups: 1) no febrile convulsion inductions and sham exposure, 2) febrile convulsion inductions and sham exposure, 3) exposure to magnetic field without febrile convulsion inductions, 4) daily exposure to magnetic field before febrile convulsion inductions, 5) daily exposure to magnetic field after febrile convulsion inductions, 6) daily exposure to magnetic field before and after ffebrile convulsion inductions.
All rats were operatively equipped with electrodes placed directly on the dura mater (the outermost membrane of the meninges) for recording of the EEG. Exposure to the magnetic field and inductions of febrile convulsions started 22 days after the surgery and were conducted for a period of 20 days. Febrile convulsions were induced every second day (total of 10 seizures) by placing the animals of febrile convulsion groups in water with a temperature of 45°C, whereas groups without febrile convulsion were placed in water with 37°C. Depending on the group, this was done before (group 4) or after (group 5) exposure of the respective day or in the meantime (group 6) (remark EMF-Portal: no further information in the article).

研究の主なアウトカム(著者による)

The rectal temperature was significantly higher after a febrile seizure than before in all groups with febrile convulsion inductions (2, 4, 5, 6).
The latency duration of seizures was significantly increased in all febrile convulsion groups exposed to a magnetic field (groups 4, 5, 6) compared to group 2 (febrile convulsion inductions without exposure) after 10 and 12 days of exposure.
The seizure duration was significantly higher in group 2 after 2 days of exposure until the end of the experiment compared to groups 4, 5, 6.
The power of alpha waves was significantly increased and the power of beta waves, which were characterized as physiological waves of the waking state, significantly decreased in groups 2-6 compared to group 1 (no febrile convulsion inductions and sham exposure). The power of theta waves and delta waves, which were characterized as pathological waves, was significantly increased in groups 4, 5 and 6 compared to group 1.
The authors conclude that exposure of rats to a 50 Hz magnetic field might decrease the duration of febrile convulsions but could also have a negative effect on brain waves.
