Abstract

The motion properties of the sanals of the primo vascular system were investigated under a low static magnetic field of 100 Oe. Sanals of about 1 μm were selected and separated from the primo vessels and nodes on a rabbit's organ surface. The average velocity of five sanals in a physiologic saline solution parallel and perpendicular to the direction of the applied magnetic field was approximately 1.0 pixel/second in random directions, which implies that the rotating motion of sanals with nuclei composed of DNA containing many inorganic magnetic elements such as manganese and cobalt is monotonically weakened by increasing an applied magnetic field.

Main findings

Sanals (~1 μm) from rabbit primo vessels/nodes were observed under a low static magnetic field of 100 Oe. The average velocity of five sanals in saline solution, measured parallel and perpendicular to the applied field, was approximately 1.0 pixel/second in random directions; the authors interpret this as rotating motion being monotonically weakened with increasing applied magnetic field.

Outcomes measured

  • Sanal motion/velocity in physiologic saline solution
  • Effect of magnetic field direction (parallel vs perpendicular) on motion

Limitations

  • Only five sanals were measured
  • Velocity reported in pixels/second (no physical unit conversion provided)
  • Exposure described as 100 Oe static magnetic field; details on field gradients, exposure setup, and any comparison condition are not provided in the abstract
  • Mechanistic explanation (DNA with inorganic magnetic elements) is speculative/interpretive in the abstract
