Профилактическая медицина Цель: исследовать влияние неионзирующего электромагнитного излучения на хрусталик глаза, с использованием культуры ткани хрусталика глаза. Методы: Хрусталики бычьего глаза были культивированы в течение 10 дней. Изучено 59 хрусталиков. Обработанные хрусталики были облучены 1.1 GHz, 2.22mW в течение 192 циклов по 50 минут с паузой 10 минут. Затем в контрольных и обработанных культуральных клетках хрусталика определяли активность ферментов. Результаты: Экспозиция 2.22mW и 1.1GHz повредила хрусталик глаза. Лучевое повреждение проявилось в эпителиальном слое хрусталика глаза, и сопровождалось изменениями активности эпителиальных ферментов. Выводы: Электромагнитное излучение имеет выраженное воздействие на хрусталик глаза Экспозиция описанными выше уровнями удельной энергии воздействует на эпителий хрусталика глаза, что выражается в изменении активности эпителиальных ферментов. Purpose: To investigate the effects of nonionizing electromagnetic radiation on the eye lens using a lens organ culture system. Methods: Bovine lenses were incubated in organ culture conditions for 10 days. 59 lenses were used in this study. Treated lenses were exposed to 1.1GHz, 2.22mW for 192 cycles of 50 minutes irradiation followed by 10 minutes pause. At the end of the culture period control and treated lenses were taken for enzyme analysis. Results: Exposure to 2.22mW at 1.1GHz caused damage to the lens. The radiation damage appeared at the lens epithelial layer accompanied by activity changes of lens epithelial enzymes. Conclusions: Electromagnetic radiation has a clear impact on the eye lens. Exposure above specific energy levels affects lens epithelium as demonstrated by changes in epithelial enzyme activities. 2005 Article Effects of electromagnetic radiation on intact bovine lens epithelium in culture conditions / E.

In connection with the level of anthropogenic
electromagnetic irradiation (EMI) increase they
have carried out a trial of electromagnetic
pollution on transport objects. The main
directions of research projects for the workers
and general population health protection from
(EMI) have been determined also. The staff of
the State Enterprise “Ukrainian Research
Institute for Transport Medicine” have worked
out normative and methodical documents both
for the industrial personnel and general
population and nearly 200 sanitary passports for
radio-technical objects.

radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields of
digital GSM mobile phones (902 MHz, 217 Hz

amplifier. The transmission lines generate uni-
form electric fields in the region of the lens. The
lenses were exposed to 1.1GHz with power of
2.2mW for 8 days (Dovrat et al 2005)
Lens epithelium morphology and enzyme
analysis
On day 12 of the culture period, lenses
were taken for morphological analysis by Hema-
toxylin and eosin staining and enzyme analysis.
Total flat preparations of the front capsule epi-
thelium monolayer of lenses from the different
treatments were evaluated. When evaluating the
different grade of differentiation was taken into
account, i.e. topographical features of central in-
termediate and equatorial zones. We followed
the histochemical localizations of the enzymes:
aldolase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydroge-
nase (G-6-PD) and analyzed SH-SS groups. For
analysis we used the classical methods of Pearse
A.G. (1972)
Quantitative analysis of the intensity of the
reactions at epithelial central and equatorial
zones was done by Image-Pro Plus program,
Version 4.0 for Windows, by measuring optical
density in each cell, following by mathematical
processing in Microsoft Excel. A change was
defined as significant if the difference between
control and treated groups reached value of P <
0.05.

Hematoxylin and eosin staining of lens ep-
ithelial cells on day 12 of the culture (Fig. 1) show
for the control lens (Fig. 1A) round cells which
contains homogenous blue staining of large nu-
clei. The cells for the electromagnetic radiation
exposed lens (Fig. 1B) demonstrate smaller cells
with condensed nuclei also damaged areas in the
nucleus and cytoplasm indicating damage to the
cells, pyknosis.
In contrast to the poor condition of the ep-
ithelial cells of lenses exposed to electromagnet-
ic radiation aldolase activity increased in these
cells (Fig. 2).
As a result of the electromagnetic exposure
aldolase activities increased at the center and
equators of the lens epithelium. Enzyme activa-
tion is greater at the center of the lens epitheli-
um.
The effects of the electromagnetic radia-
tion on G-6-PD activity are demonstrated in Fig.
3.
For G-6-PD electromagnetic radiation ex-
posure reduced enzyme activity at the center of
the lens epithelium and increased enzyme ac-
tivity at the equators. The reduced color of the
cells (Fig. 3ab) demonstrates damage to this
area of the epithelial layer.
ache, dizziness, fatigue, itching or tingling of the
skin, redness on the skin, and sensations of
warmth on the skin. The results did not reveal any
differences between exposure and non-expo-
sure conditions, suggesting that a 30-60 min
exposure to this RF field does not produce sub-
jective symptoms in humans. Inskip et al (2001)
examined the use of cellular telephones in a
case-control study of intracranial tumours of the
nervous system conducted between 1994 and
1998. Of 782 patients in hospitals in Phoenix, AZ;
Boston CT; and Pittsburgh PA; 489 had histolog-
ically confirmed gliomas, 197 had meningiomas
and 96 had acoustic neuromas. The 799 con-
trols were patients admitted to the same hospi-
tals as the patients with brain tumors for a varie-
ty of non-malignant conditions. There was no
evidence that the risks were higher among per-
sons who used cellular telephones for 60 or more
minutes per day or regularly for five or more
years. Their conclusion was that the data do not
support the hypothesis that the recent use of
hand-held cellular telephones causes brain tu-
mors, but data are insufficient to evaluate the
risks among long-term, heavy users and for po-
tentially long induction periods. In our experi-
mental study we exposed bovine lenses in organ
culture conditions to electromagnetic radiation
of 1.1 GHz-2.2mW for 192 cycles of 50 min irra-
diation and 10 min break and followed changes
in lens epithelial enzyme activities.
MethodsMethodsMethodsMethodsMethods
Organ Culture System
Bovine lenses (1 year old) were used in this
study. Each lens was placed in a glass and sili-
con rubber chamber containing 24ml of culture
medium (M 199) with Earl’s balanced salt solu-
tion, supplemented with 5.96g/L HEPES, 3% di-
alyzed fetal calf serum and antibiotics (penicillin
100 U/ml and streptomycin 0.1 mg/ml). Lenses
were completely immersed in culture medium
both below and above. The medium was
changed daily. The lenses were incubated at
35°C. Experimental treatments started after pre-
incubation of 24 hours (Dovrat et al 1986).
Electromagnetic radiation system
A computer-controlled microwave source
was built. It consists of a voltage-controlled os-
cillator generating a constant microwave pow-
er. The output is attenuated by two attenuators:
one is fixed and the other is variable, permitting
the desired degree of freedom regarding the ex-
posure intensity. The microwave signal is direct-
ed into a 30 dB amplifier which has a maximum
output of 1 W. A four arm power-splitter provides
each transmission line with a microwave signal
attenuated by 7 dB relative to the output of the

Concentration of SH-SS groups in proteins
of the lens epithelial cells show reduction of SH
groups at the center and also at the equators of
the lens epithelium (Fig. 4 a).
After electromagnetic exposure there is no
difference between SH and SS groups at the
center of the lens epithelium however at the
equators there is difference between SH and SS
groups (Fig. 4 b).

Our results show that electromagnetic ra-
diation has a clear impact on the eye lens.
Adey et al (2000) in a 2-year bioassay, ex-
posed Fischer 344 rats to a frequency-modulat-
ed signal (836.55 MHz) and tested for effects on
spontaneous tumorigenicity of central nervous
system tumors in the offspring of pregnant rats
and also for modified incidence of primary tu-
mors in rats treated with a single dose of the neu-
rocarcinogen ethylnitrosourea (ENU) in utero.
Intermittent field exposures began on gestation
day 19 and continued until weaning at 21 days,
resuming thereafter at 31 days and continuing
until experiment termination at 731-734 days.
Energy absorption rates (SARs) in the rats’
brains were similar to localized peak brain expo-
sures of a phone user. Of the original 540 rats,
168 died before the termination of the experi-
ment. In these rats, ENU significantly reduced
survival. There were no effects on survival attrib-
utable to FM field exposure. Spontaneous tumor
incidence in control groups was 1.1-4.4% but
sharply higher in rats re-
ceiving ENU. Chou et al
(1992) investigated the
effects of long-term (25
months), low-level (144
mW) microwave irradia-
tion on 100 male rats.
They found significant
changes in serum corti-
costerone and a near
fourfold increase of pri-
mary malignancies.
Gos et al (2000) ex-
posed yeast cells to 900-
MHz fields at specific ab-
sorption rates (SAR) of
0.13 and 1.3 W/kg and ex-
amined the genotoxic po-
tential. They claim that no
mutagenic or recombino-
genic effects were detect-
ed as compared with
known mutagen. Li et al.
(2001) exposed murine
C3H 10T(1/2) fibroblasts
to3.2-5.1 W/kg specific
absorption rate (SAR) ra-
dio frequency fields. The
cells in cultures were ex-
posed to 847.74 MHz

dence for induction of
DNA single-strand breaks
in human blood lym-
phocytes exposed for 2 h
in vitro to pulsed-wave
2450 MHz radiofrequen-
cy radiation, as compared
with cells exposed to
gamma-ray source that
were used as controls.
The cells were tested ei-
ther immediately or at 4 h
after exposure. (Vijayal-
axmi et al 2000.( Lai and
Singh (1996) investigated
the effects of acute (2h)
exposure to pulsed and
continuous wave 2450-
MHz radiofrequency
electromagnetic radiation
on DNA strand breaks in
brain cells of rat. The spa-
tial averaged power den-
sity of the radiation was
2mW/cm2, which pro-
duced a whole-body av-
erage-specific absorption
rate of 1.2W/kg. They
measured single and
double-strand DNA
breaks in individual brain
cells at 4h post-exposure
using a microgel electro-
phoresis assay.

SummarySummarySummarySummarySummary
Purpose: To investigate the effects of non-
ionizing electromagnetic radiation on the eye
lens using a lens organ culture system.
Methods: Bovine lenses were incubated in
organ culture conditions for 10 days. 59 lenses
were used in this study. Treated lenses were ex-
posed to 1.1GHz, 2.22mW for 192 cycles of 50
minutes irradiation followed by 10 minutes
pause. At the end of the culture period control
and treated lenses were taken for enzyme anal-
ysis.
Results: Exposure to 2.22mW at 1.1GHz
caused damage to the lens. The radiation dam-
age appeared at the lens epithelial layer accom-
panied by activity changes of lens epithelial en-
zymes.
Conclusions: Electromagnetic radiation
has a clear impact on the eye lens. Exposure
above specific energy levels affects lens epithe-
lium as demonstrated by changes in epithelial
enzyme activities.
