[Atmospheric electromagnetic field oscillations and the nature of the proliferative process in the focus of acute inflammation].

Experiments were conducted on 300 rats kept in a warm room (16-18 degrees C) in the cold season of a year to study the influence of a signal effect of atmospheric processes, namely changes in of atmospheric electricity parameters, on the early proliferative reactions in a focus of acute inflammation. The results of 50 experiments on which a geomagnetic storm was superimposed were excluded form the analysis subsequently. Inflammation was modelled by implanting a 3 x 4-mm piece of a cover glass under the skin. Following 48 hours the number of hematogenic and histiogenic cells superimposed on one surface of the implanted glass was counted. These were fibroblasts, macrophages, polynuclear and giant cells. An analysis showed that frosty weather, the existence and direction of a wind, atmospheric-electrical processes preceding the passage of meteorological fronts influenced the nature of proliferative responses. The authors revealed the efficacy of electromagnetic screening of the animals, which mitigated the effect of the atmospheric electromagnetic waves.
