The use of mobile phones is widespread since the beginning of 1990s. A great debate exists about the possible damage that the Radio Frequency - RF radiation from mobile phones exerts on different organs. The objective of this study was to investigate the possible histopathological effects of 2100 MHz RF radiation on rat ductus epididymis tissue using a light microscopy and immunohistochemical method after one or two month exposure.
The study was performed on 36 adult Wistar albino rats. 2100 MHz RF radiation was used with a specific absorption rate (SAR) of 0.36 W/kg for 30 min/day, 6 days per week for one or two months. There were 3 groups (n = 6 for each group): one month RF exposed group, two months RF exposed group, and the control group.
At the end of the study, the structural changes in ductus epididymis tissue were evaluated. In both 2100 MHz RF exposed groups, the rat ductus epididymis sperm were not observed in some channels, a reduction in sperm density in some of the channels drew an attention. The loss of connective tissue and edematous areas were observed in cross channel interstitial connective tissue. In addition, it was observed that vascularization was highly increased with respect to the control group in cross-channel interstitial connective tissue.
2100 MHz RF exposure resulted in some structural changes in the male genital ducts of rats (Tab. 1, Fig. 5, Ref 20).
自20世纪90年代初以来，手机的使用十分广泛。关于手机发出的射频辐射对不同器官可能造成的损害，存在着激烈的争论。本研究的目的是在暴露一或两个月后，使用光学显微镜和免疫组织化学方法，研究2100兆赫射频辐射对大鼠附睾管组织可能产生的组织病理学影响。
本研究对36只成年Wistar白化大鼠进行。使用2100兆赫射频辐射，比吸收率（SAR）为0.36瓦/千克，每天照射30分钟，每周6天，持续一或两个月。共有3组（每组n = 6）：1个月射频暴露组、2个月射频暴露组和对照组。
在研究结束时，对附睾管组织的结构变化进行了评估。在两个2100兆赫射频暴露组中，在一些通道中未观察到大鼠附睾管精子，一些通道中精子密度的降低引起了注意。在交叉通道间质结缔组织中观察到结缔组织丧失和水肿区域。此外，观察到交叉通道间质结缔组织中的血管生成相对于对照组高度增加。
暴露于2100兆赫射频导致大鼠雄性生殖管道出现一些结构变化（表1，图5，参考文献20）。
