Rabbit erythrocytes were exposed in vitro to continuous wave (CW) and pulse-modulated X-band microwaves in wave guide exposure chambers. Erythrocytes were exposed as whole (heparinized) blood suspensions or as washed cells in 1:1 isotonic buffered K+-free saline suspensions. Statistically significant increases in K+ efflux relative to thermal controls were detected when red cells were exposed in whole blood suspensions to either CW or pulsed 8.42-GHz microwaves at SARs that resulted in equilibrium sample temperatures of approximately 24 degrees C. Under the same exposure conditions, no statistically significant K+ efflux occurred in the case of 1:1 red cell suspensions. Measured differences in sample heating rates and temperature gradients between microwave-exposed and heated control suspensions may account in part for the differential effect of microwave exposure but such effects do not appear to explain the results of this study fully.
将兔红细胞在波导暴露室中体外暴露于连续波（CW）和脉冲调制的X波段微波。红细胞以全血（肝素化）悬浮液形式或作为洗涤后的细胞在1:1等渗无钾缓冲盐悬浮液中进行暴露。当红细胞在全血悬浮液中暴露于8.42 GHz的连续波或脉冲微波，比吸收率（SAR）导致样品平衡温度约为24℃时，相对于热对照，检测到钾离子外流有统计学意义的增加。在相同的暴露条件下，1:1红细胞悬浮液的情况下未发生有统计学意义的钾离子外流。测量的微波暴露悬浮液与加热对照悬浮液之间样品加热速率和温度梯度的差异可能部分解释了微波暴露的差异效应，但这些效应似乎不能完全解释本研究的结果。
