Description

Method and apparatus for ion transport activation
Background of the invention
The present invention relates to a method of ion movement activation, especially through cell membranes and capillary walls in living organisms, and apparatus for application of this method.
Known ion movement methods are based on pulsed very low frequency electromagnetic field impact on living organisms. Magnetic fields with negligible electric component are generated by electric current pulses. A method and aparatus for ion movement through cell membranes is known from EP 0407006 European Patent Application. A method disclosed is based on a simultaneous activation of different ionic species, Ca++ and Mg++ in particular, using magnetic cyclotron resonance frequency. An effect of uniform very low frequency magnetic fields generated by sinusoidal electric current pulses of non-zero average value is used for this purpose, when field lines are parallel to the axis on which a part of the living organism is located. Sinusoidal electric pulses produce changes of magnetic flux at the cyclotron resonance frequency, determined by the equation fc = Bq/2πm, where fc - is fluctuating magnetic field frequency, in Hz; q/m - is ion charge-to-mass ratio, in C/kg; B - is average flux density along the axis, in Tesla.
An apparatus for using the method according the above patent application comprises a generator of sinusoidal electric pulses which is connected to a constant and defined direct current circuit and to an amplifier, outputs of both are controlled with the switch controlling a pair of Helmholtz coils which operate as electrical pulse to magnetic signal converter.
In another embodiment shown in European patent EP 0594655, a basic current pulse consisting of a square wave superimposed onto an exponentially increasing current is used for ion transportation, then an interruption as long as at least pulse duration follows. Pulses and interruptions form a 100 to 1000 Hz wave. Pulse amplitude is modulated with a 0,5 to 35 Hz signal, modulation envelope is triangular (close to an isosceles triangle). Modulated basic pulse string of constant polarisation forms a packet 0,3 to 1 second long, then a 0,7 to 5,0 seconds interruption follows. Pulse packets are converted into alternating magnetic field signals, electrodynamically and magnetomechanically influencing ions and especially protons to cause their transport through cell membranes.
An apparatus for ion transport as described in the patent discussed consists of a control desk connected to a microprocessor control unit and then, by an amplifier, with a transmitting coil which converts current pulses into magnetic signals. A control circuit consists of microprocessor, clock generator, memory, address generator and analog-to-digital converter.
Brief summary and objects of the invention
According to the present invention, a method of ion transport activation through cell membranes and capillary walls in live organisms is based on the effects of pulsed very low frequency electromagnetic field generated by electric current pulses. Two types of signals are used, as well as their combinations into consecutive packets, packet groups, packet group series, sets of packet group series, combined sets of packet groups series. They magnetomechanically and electrodynamically influence ions of different elements, giving rise to ion cyclotron resonance in live organisms cells. As a result of magnetic field electrodynamic impact on an approximately cylindrically shaped biological system, electric field is induced. Field intensity E depends upon induction change rate dB/dt according to the equation
E =
2 ώ where r is cylinder radius. The alternating field E induces inductive ion currents of density j as defined in the equation j = δ0 E where δ0 is electrical conductivity of the biological system. When 10 mA/m2 current density is exceeded, carbohydrates metabolism changes occur and lipid cell membranes permeablity changes, facilitating ion transport through cell membranes.
An effect of iόri cyclotron resonance is associated with ion eddy current phenomenon. Both pulsation ω and linear cyclotron resonance frequency fc = ϋ)J2π depend upon magnetic field induction B in a particular place of living organism and upon its charge q-to mass-m ratio according to the formula ωc = 2πfc = B -3- m
Magnetomechanical effect on a biological system consists in the creation of magnetomechanical force F, causing the movement of particles and atoms with non-compensated spins. Magnetomechanical force F is a result of magnetic field induction B gradient dB/dx and can be expressed as the equation
(μ '-- \\))VV dd_B
F B μ0 JY where:
V - is the volume of uncompensated spins μ is the relative magnetic permeability of a biological system μ0 - is the magnetic permeability of vacuum.
Characteristics of induction B as a function of time B = f(t) for both types of signals used in the present invention are open polygon lines, increasing from zero to Bmax. The characteristic of the first type of signal is an open polygon line consisting of seven sections of 3,0 to 9,4 ms total duration. Within its first section, induction increases linearly from zero to 1/3 Bmax during 0,5 to 1 ,6 ms. Within its second section, which is parallel to f axis, induction has constant value of 1/3 Bmax during 0,5 to 1 ,2 ms then, within its third section it increases linearly from 1/3 Bmax to 2/3 Bmax during 0,4 to 1 ,5 ms. Within its fourth section which is parallel to f axis, induction is kept constant on the 2/3 Bmax value during 0,1 to 0,5 ms. Within its fifth section, induction increases linearly to Bmax during 0,5 to 1,5 ms. Within its sixth section, which is nearly perpendicular to t axis, induction sharply decreases to zero during 0,1 ms or less, remaining at zero value within its seventh section during 0,5 to 1 ,5 ms. The characteristic of the second type of signal is shaped as an open polygon line consisting of five sections of 5.0 to 9,4 ms total duration. Within its first section, induction increases linearly to 1/2 Bmax value during 0,7 to 1 ,3 ms. Within its second section, which is parallel to f axis, induction is kept constant on the 1/2 Bmax value during 1 ,8 to 2,8 ms then, within its third section, it increases linearly to Bmax during 0,5 to 1 ,2 ms. Within its fourth section, which is nearly perpendicular to t axis, induction sharply decreases to zero within maximum 0,1 ms, remaining at zero value within its fifth section during 1 to 2 ms. For both types of signal, induction B does not overrun the effective value of Bsk =
100 μT. Its linear increase, shown on B = f(t) characteristics in a form of sections inclined relative to t axis, causes mainly electrodynamic and magnetomechanical effect.
On the other hand, induction which is kept constant on 1/3 Bmax, 2/3 Bmax and 1/2 Bmax levels and is shown on B = f(t) characteristics as sections parallel to axis, gives rise to ion cyclotron resonance mainly. Alternating magnetic field frequencies are ion resonance frequencies fc of different elements. Ratios of fc to induction B of alternating magnetic field are equal to the ratio of a particular element's ion electric charge to ion mass.
In the method according to the present invention signals of both types are combined into packets, each of which consists of consecutive particular signals string, an interruption is included between consecutive packets, duration of the interruption between consecutive first type signals is longer than duration ot the interruption between consecutive second type signals. Packets consisting of four first type signals and five second type signals are the most frequently used. The first type signal packet duration is 10 to 50 ms and interruption duration is 40 to 60 ms. The second type signal packet duration is 20 to 30 ms, interruption duration is 20 to 50 ms.
A combination of packets formed into packet groups of both signal types is also used. Each group consists of a particular type signal packet series, with an interruption between consecutive groups. The first type signal packets lasts for 250 to 400 ms, interruption duration is 40 to 60 ms.
The second type signal packets lasts for 140 to 300 ms, interruption duration is 80 to 200 ms. It is advantageous to use the first type signal packet groups containing at least five packets and the second type signal packet groups containing at least four packets. Moreover, combinations of packet groups into series and then combinations of series into sets is used. Each series consists of a particular signal packet groups sequence, the interruption appears between consecutive packet group series.
The first type signal packet group series duration is 7 to 10 s, an interruption between series lasts for 3 to 4 s.
The second type signal packet group series duration is 5 to 9 s, an interruption between series lasts for 2 to 4 s.
A series of the first type signal packet groups consists usually of twenty to twenty six groups, advantageously - of twenty four groups, when a series of the second type signal packet groups consists twenty to twenty four groups, advantageously
- of twenty two groups. Combination of series into sets is used, each set consists of a particular type signal packet group series sequences. The duration of first and second type signal packet group series lies between 90 and 240 s.
Positive and negative polarisation, usually alternating, is used for a set of packet group series of particular signal type. It is advantageous when the first type signal packet group series set consists of at least ten series and when the second type signal packet group series set consists of at least twelve series.
Signal amplitude in both type signal packet group sets is kept on a specified level not exceeding the effective value of Bsk = 100 μT, and/or is changed stepwise up in the consecutive series. Combinations of the first and the second type signal packet group series sets in a form of at least two first type signal packet groups series sets, after which at least two second type signal packet group sets follow, are the most frequently used. Different set polarisation of neigbouring sets is used.
An apparatus for ion transport activation according to the present invention consists of control and supervision panel with control pushbuttons and signal lamps, connected to a microprocessor control unit with a generator and memory, as further to an amplifier. The amplifier is connected to a converter and dummy load by a symmetrical current source and execution system. The execution system is directly connected to the microprocessor control system. A current pulse-to-electromagnetic signal converter is usually made as a magnetic applicator containing at least one electromagnetic coil generating the nonuniform magnetic field. The control and supervision panel is conected to an infrared radiation receiver, controlled by a remote controller. The microprocessor control unit contains a memory, advantageously of RAM type for direct control, and non- volatile EEPROM memory for external apparatus functions programming. RAM memory contains shapes of current signals of both types, their sequence of occurence, combinations and forms of packets, packet groups, packet group series, packet group series sets with time relations taken into consideration, and amplitude changes. The non-volatile EEPROM memory contains ready-made programs of signals combinations into packets, packet groups, packet group series and sets of packet group series with time relations and amplitude changes taken into consideration. The voltage amplifier contains two operational amplifiers. Voltage amplifier input is connected directly to the first operational amplifier non-inverting input and - by a resistor - to the second operational amplifier inverting input. The second operational amplifier, together with four resistors, forms a differential amplifier with its non-inverting imput connected to the first operational amplifier output. Parallel-connected circuits consisting of a resistor in series with a key are connected between ground and first operational amplifier inverting input to create first operational amplifier negative feedback circuit. Voltage amplifier output is the second operational amplifier output.
Voltage amplifier output voltage changes depend upon keys switched on, according to the formula:

Uwy - is amplifier output voltage, and Uwe - is amplifier input voltage.
A method according to the present invention of ion transport activation through living organisms cell membranes under the influence of nonuniform very low frequency magnetic field ensures an increase in number of transported ions of a particular element and in number of types of elements, ions of which are transported. This effect is a result of introduction of two types of magnetic signals with characteristics shaped according to the present invention, resulting in simultaneous occurence of three effect types: electrodynamic effect, magnetomechanical effect and ion cyclotron resonance effect.

An essential merit of such a solution is the possibility of remotely switching the apparatus on with no exposure of personnel on the long-term magnetic field influence. The binary-controlled voltage amplifier with parallel-connected resistor and key series circuits guarantees that output amplitude control depends upon program chosen. Moreover, fitting the apparatus with dummy-loaded execution circuit enables the simulation of apparatus operation.

Detailed description of preferred embodiments
Example 1
A method of ion transport activation consists in the application of two signal types and their combinations in a form of consecutive packets, packet groups, packet group series, packet group series sets and combinations of packet group series sets. For both signals, characteristics of induction B changes as a function of time f are shaped as two different open polygon lines.
The line for the first type signal as shown in Fig.1 is formed of seven a, b, c, d, e, f, g sections of T., = 5,33 ms total duration. Within its first section a of t, = 1 ,2 ms duration, induction increases linearly from zero to 1/3 Bmax = 30 μT, then it remains constant at this value for time t2 = 0,8 ms within section b. Within section c, induction increases to 2/3 Bmax = 60 μT during t3 = 1 ,0 ms, then it remains constant at this value for time t4 = 0,3 ms within section d. Further on, induction B increases linearly within section e up to Bmax = 90 μT during t5 = 0,95 ms, then within section f it sharply decreases to zero during t6 = 0,08 ms, remaining within section g at zero value during t7 = 1 ms. The line for the second type signal as shown in Fig.2 is formed of five k, I, m, n, r sections of T2 = 5,53 ms total duration. Within its section k of t,'= 0,9 ms duration induction increases linearly from zero to 1/2 Bmax = 40 μT, then remains constant at this value for time t2 - 2,3 ms within section I. Within section m it increases linearly to Bmax = 80 μT during t3' = 0,75 ms, then sharply decreases within section n to zero during t4' = 0,08 ms and remains zero within section r during t5' = 1 ,5 ms. The linear induction increase as shown within a, c, e sections of the first type signal characteristic and k, m sections of the second type signal characteristic gives rise to electrodynamic and magnetomechanical effects mainly. The constant induction within b, d sections (B = 30 μT and B = 60 μT respectively) for the first type signals and within I section (B = 40 μT) for the second type signal gives rise to ion cyclotron resonance mainly, of which frequencies fc for ions of different elements are equal to frequencies of alternating magnetic field. The ratio of fc frequencies to induction B of alternating magnetic field is equal to the ratio of a given element's ion electric charge q to its mass m = 1 B m

Ion cyclotron resonance frequencies fc for selected ions of living organisms body fluids as a function of alternating magnetic field induction are shown in Table 1. Table 1

Total packet group duration is Tg2 = 215,6 ms with interruption between packet groups being of tg2 = 130 ms duration.
Packet groups are combined into first type signal packet group series. The first type signal packet group series as shown in Fig. 7 consists of twenty four groups, five packets each. Total series duration is Ts1 = 8,5 s with interruption between series of ts1 = 3,5 s duration. The second type signal packet group series as shown in Fig. 8 consists of twenty two groups, four packets each.

Example 5
The apparatus for ion transport activation as shown in Fig. 17 consists of control and supervision panel PS with control pushbuttons and signal lamps, connected to a microprocessor control unit MUS with a generator as well as with RAM and EEPROM memories, and followed by amplifier W. Amplifier W is connected by symmetrical current source IS and execution system UW to the converter PA and dummy load PL. Execution system UW is connected directly to the microprocessor control unit MUS. The control and supervision panel PS is connected to the infrared radiation receiver IR, controlled with the use of remote controller P. Microprocessor control unit MUS contains RAM memory for direct control operations and an additional non-volatile EEPROM memory for equipment functions programming from the outside world. RAM memory contains shapes of current signals of two types, their sequence of occurence, combinations of signals into packets, packet groups, packet group series and packet group series sets, taking into consideration their time relations and amplitude changes. Non-volatile EEPROM memory contains ready-made programs of packet group series sets combination blocks, time relations and amplitude changes taken into consideration.
Voltage amplifier as shown in Fig. 18 contains two operational amplifiers W1 and W2. Voltage amplifier input WE is direcltly connected to the first operational amplifier W1 non-inverting input (+) and is connected by the resistor R1 to the second operational amplifier inverting input (-). Operational amplifier W2 together with four resistors R1 operates as differential amplifier with its non- inverting (+) input connected to the first operational amplifier W1 output.
Between ground and first amplifier W1 inverting (-) input, circuits consisting of keys K1, K2, K3....Kn series connected with R, R/2, R/4, ...R/2"-1 resistors are connected in parallel as the first operational amplifier W1 negative feedback circuit. Output of the second operational amplifier W2 serves as WY output of voltage amplifier W simultaneously. Voltage amplifier W output voltage U^ is changed depending upon K1 , K2, K3....Kn keys switched on, according to the formula
Uwy = Uw,∑2-1 for n > 1
1 and U^ = 0 for n = 0 where:
U^ is amplifier W output voltage, and
Uwe is amplifier W input voltage.
The apparatus is started after program is chosen and pushbuttons on control panel PS or remote controller P are switched on. Microprocessor control unit MUS generates two pulse types and their combinations into packets, packet groups, packet group series, packet group series sets and combinations of packet group series sets, stored in RAM and EEPROM memories in a digital form. Signal amplitude is controlled by binary controlled amplifier W. Amplifier output voltage U^ is changed depending upon the status of K1 ,
K2,...Kn keys in feedback circuitry. Voltage amplifier W drives the symmecthcal current source IS, which enables non-contact polarisation switching of pulses which drive PA converter through execution circuit UW when operated in its basic state. Current pulses are converted in PA converter into signals of alternating magnetic field that effect a living organism. When the apparatus operation is simulated, execution circuit UW is switched into the second state, in which it is loaded with dummy load PL.
