The present work was undertaken in order to investigate the effects of static magnetic field (SMF) on growth rates, hematopoiesis, plasmatic proteins levels, glucose concentration, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and transaminases activities in male rats. Sub-acute exposure of rats during 5 consecutive days to SMF (1h/day at 128mT) induced an increase of plasma LDH activity (+38%, p<0.05), and glucose concentration (+31%, p<0.05), whereas haematological parameters, protein levels, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities remained unchanged. SMF exposure of rats during 30 consecutive days (1hour/day at 128mT) decreased significantly growth rates by the second week and increased significantly the plasmatic total protein levels (+62%, p<0.05), hemoglobin (+10%, p<0.05), red blood cells (+7%, p<0.05), white blood cells (+17%, p<0.05), and platelet number (+10%, p<0.05). Sub-chronic exposure to SMF increased also LDH (+43%, p<0.05), AST (+ 41%, p<0.05) and ALT activities (+95%, p<0.05). In contrast, the glucose concentration was unaffected. These changes suggested that exposure to SMF had a possible effect on the proliferation of blood cells and enzymes release within blood indicating tissue alterations.

This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of a homogenous and uniform static magnetic field (SMF) on the main blood cell counts in vitro experiment. Fresh blood samples were collected from albino rats and exposed to SMF (2.4, 6, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mT) versus 15–60 min. Results showed a significant change of blood counts under the low field effects. A 2.4 mT was a trend of white blood cells (WBCs) count increase non-linearly. However, a 6 mT exposure reduced WBCs with about 39%. Other variations fluctuated within 30%. The 25 mT decreased red blood cells (RBCs), hemoglobin, and hematocrit levels with 13% similarly. The lower exposure field, (2.4 and 6) mT, and effects on RBCs were 6% fluctuation. The 6 mT reduced platelet counts with half in comparison to control blood samples. About 20% increase obtained due to 50 mT exposure during all period. None of 75 and 100 mT exposures dominated blood counts alterations. The quiet magnetic field exposure for a certain time can be interesting to control blood cell count-related diseases.

In this study, we investigated the effect of the static magnetic field (SMF) on white blood cells (WBCs) for female albino rats using a fabricated exposure system of SMFs. Five main groups of animals exposed to 2.4±0.2 milli-Tesla (mT) for four weeks continuously. Five main groups (each group = 4 subgroups) have exposed to a different time of exposure; 1hr, 2hrs, 4hrs, 6hrs and 8hrs/day, respectively. Collected blood samples examined and compared with control values. The results proved that the time of exposure influences the WBCs significantly. One hour of exposure has increased the WBCs counts tremendously (from 50%-79%) in all weeks. However, the 8hrs of exposure reduced WBCs counts highly (from 71%-51%). The 3 weeks exposure trend was an increase, except the 8hrs/day exposure.

FTIR spectroscopy was used to investigate the alterations of the vibration bands in the mid-infrared region of Polyethylene oxide in aqueous solution at 25 mg/mL concentration under exposure up to 4 h to a static magnetic field at 200 mT. FTIR spectroscopic analysis of PEO solution in the range 3500–1000 cm−1 evidenced the stretching vibrations of ether band, C–H symmetric-antisymmetric and bending vibrations of methylene groups, and the C–O–C stretching band. A significant decrease in intensity of symmetric and asymmetric stretching CH2 vibration bands occurred after 2 h and 4 h of exposure, followed by a significant decrease in intensity of scissoring bending in plane CH2 vibration around 1465 cm−1. Finally, the C–O–C stretching band around 1080 cm−1 increased in intensity after 4 h of exposure. This result can be attributed to the increase of formation of the intermolecular hydrogen bonding that occurred in PEO aqueous solution after SMF exposure, due to the reorientation of PEO chain after exposure to SMF. In this scenario, the observed decrease in intensity of CH2 vibration bands can be understood as well considering that the reorientation of PEO chain under the applied SMF induces PEO demicellization.

The parametric excitation of Alfvén waves by two magnetosonic waves, which propagate obliquely to the static magnetic field, is analysed. The theoretical model used is the uniform, unbounded, ideally conducting and compressible one-fluid plasma, with suitable resonance conditions. Our consideration is restricted to determining the conditions under which some initially small perturbation grows, so that the magnetosonic pump wave is regarded as constant. It is found that, both in the case of the standing and the propagating pump, the growth rates of the excited waves depend not only on the pump power but also on β, and that the threshold pump intensities are proportional to β. In the case of the standing pump, the threshold pump intensity of the oscillating instability is zero at perfect matching.
