A Kink-Soliton Model of Charge Transport Through Microtubular Cytoskeleton

Abstract. Contemporary trends in science and technology are characterized by integration of biological and technical systems, like in nanotechnology, nanobiology, and quantum medicine. In our case, we were motivated by a necessity to understand charge transport through microtubular cytoskeleton as a constitutive part of acupuncture system. The high frequency component of acupuncture currents, widely exploited in microwave resonance stimulation of acupuncture system in the past decade, implies that explanation of the cytoplasmatic conductivity should be sought in the framework of Frohlich theory. Accordingly, in this paper we critically analyze the problem of the microwave coherent longitudinal electrical oscillations as a theoretical basis for understanding soliton phenomena in microtubules, showing that charged kink-soliton nonlinear microtubular excitations might be a good candidate for charge transport in microtubules. Introduction Ionic acupuncture currents, and accompanying electromagnetic fields, have both ultralow frequency (ULF) [1] and microwave (MW) [2] components, i.e. the MW component is modulated by the ULF one, this being in overall agreement with the frequency and power windowing in tissue interactions with weak electromagnetic fields The Ukrainian-Russian research and clinical practice in quantum-like microwave resonance therapy (MRT) at ~ 50-80 GHz, fundamentally quantum-informationally efficient even in very serious psychosomatic diseases In this paper the problem of microwave coherent longitudinal electrical oscillations is considered as a theoretical basis for understanding the charged kink-soliton phenomena in microtubules, implying simultaneously the very nature of nondisipative MW electrical signals alongside microtubular cytoskeleton of acupuncture channels in MRT therapy

In vitro and in vivo investigation of collagen - C-60(OH)(24) interaction

In this paper both theoretical and experimental approach to a possible interaction between collagen hydrolyzate and fullerole C-60(OH)(24) have been considered. In vitro and in vivo experiments were performed. Based on FT-IR spectroscopy, bands of amide I, II and III, from collagen hydrolyzate were analyzed, as well as the characteristic bands of fullerole. Based on experimental results, torsion types of interaction between collagen hydrolyzate and fullerole C-60(OH)(24) have been considered. According to in vivo experiments, fullerole initiates fibroblast cells production and after a two-month skin treatment it improves collagen and elastin production. This indicates that fullerole effects intermolecular communications from collagen fibers through integrines and microtubules to cell nucleus

New functional polymers obtained by amination of PVC

A new procedure for introduction of aromatic diamines into polymer, in particular into poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) molecule, was developed. Produced materials have attractive properties such as combination of good film-forming, coating and adhesive features (especially adhesion to hard-to-adhere substrates, as glass) and functionalization possibilities. Free pendent amine groups enable nucleophilic additions with fullerene molecule C-60, for creating especial properties of such a film

Water Hydrogen Bonds Study by Opto-Magnetic Fingerprint Technique

Hydrogen bond has dual property, classical (electrostatic interaction based on Coulomb's law) and quantum (wave function based on Schrödinger equation). Since Planck's constant is one of the main criteria for decision which process is quantum, or how much is close to be quantum, we use electrical and magnetic forces of valence electrons, as point of departure, to develop method for opto-magnetic fingerprint of matter. During the study of different type of matter we observed phenomena from spectral convolution data of digital images which characterize matter from both covalent and non-covalent bonding. Since water is matter that is most abundant with hydrogen bonds, we present results of 18.2 MΩ water investigation on different temperature and under influence of constant and variable magnetic fields by opto-magnetic method. Bearing in mind that Linus Pauling, in his book Nature of the Chemical Bond (Cornel University Press, 1939), for the first time presented the systematic concept of the hydrogen bond to the molecular world and its machinery, this paper is written in honor to him and 70th anniversary of one of the most important scientific paradigm

Epidermal Layers Characterisation by Opto-Magnetic Spectroscopy Based on Digital Image of Skin

According to the most literature data, the skin is usually observed as a simple structure with equivalent electrical model, which includes general properties of epidermis, basal membrane and dermis. In this paper, we analyzed the skin structure as a more complex system. Particularly we analyzed epidermis based on layers approach and its water organization in lipids ordered in sub-layers. Using opto-magnetic spectroscopy method, which is very sensitive to paramagnetic/diamagnetic properties of the tissue, we found out that nanowater structure ordering in lipids of epidermal layers play very important role in skin properties. We use bioimpedance as complementary and compatible method to opto-magnetic spectroscopy in skin characterization. In our investigation we found out the difference of the skin properties of the people who are drinking two different type of water (Z and N). We observed the significant difference in middle part of stratum granulosum, where water-lipid sub-layers exists. These results indicate importance of water nanolayers presence in epidermis and type of drinking water reflecting on human skin properties
