摘要
为阐明毫米波对胚胎产生损伤效应的阈值及导致成年子鼠学习记忆功能降低的机理,验证毫米波有无频率特异性。用37.4~60GHz,功率密度1mW/cm2~8mW/cm2毫米波,在小鼠怀孕6d~15d时进行2h/d辐射,用电迷宫对成年子鼠进行学习记忆功能测试,用受体放射配基结合分析(RBA)对子鼠脑胆碱能-M受体(M-R)进行测定。结果显示:37.4,42.2GHz毫米波,≥5mW/cm2辐射可导致成年子鼠学习记忆功能降低,成年子鼠海马区Bmax明显升高;53,60GHz毫米波,≥3mW/cm2辐射可导致成年子鼠学习记忆功能降低,成年子鼠海马区Bmax明显升高。毫米波辐射未使孕鼠肛温及辐射区皮肤温度明显升高。认为:37.4,42.2GHz和53,60GHz毫米波导致胚胎损伤阈值分别在3mW/cm2~5mW/cm2和1mW/cm2~3mW/cm2,其导致子鼠学习记忆功能降低与使成年子鼠海马区胆碱能神经活性下降相关,此效应由毫米波非热效应所致,未见毫米波的频率特异性。
To determine the threshold of fetuses injury induced by millimeter wave irradiation and to clarify the mechanism of lowering learning capacity and memory of the adult offspring, and to verify whether millimeter wave has effect of frequencyspecific.Twomonth old BALB/c mice were separately irradiated by millimeter wave with frequencies of 374 ̄60 GHz at power densities of 1 ̄8 mW/cm2 for 2 h daily from the 6th to 15th day of gestation.The test of learning capacity and memory of adult offspring were employed on Ytype electric maze.The quantity of MR and its affinity to ligand in the brain of the fetuses at term, adult offspring were measured by using RBA.The results revealed that: with frequencies of 374 and 422 GHz, millimeter wave irradiation at power densities of ≥5 mW/cm2 lowered learning capacity and memory of adult offspring; It significantly increased the quantity of MR in hippocampus of adult offspring.With frequencies of 53 and 60 GHz, millimeter wave irradiation at power densities of ≥3 mW/cm2 lowered learning capacity and memory of the adult offspring; It significantly increased the quantity of MR in hippocampus of adult offspring.Millimeter wave irradiation didn′t significantly increased the skin temperature of the pregnant mice.It is suggested that the thresholds of fetuses injury induced by millimeter wave irradiation to pregnant mice with frequencies of 374 GHz, 422 GHz and 53 GHz, 60 GHz are between 3 mW/cm2 ̄5 mW/cm2, 1mW/cm2 ̄3 mW/cm2 separately.The mechanism that millimeter wave irradiation lowered learning capacity and memory of the adult offspring is closely related to a reduction of cholinergic nervous function in the hippocampus.There is the athermal effect of millimeter wave.There isn′t the effect of frequencyspecific.
