Abstract
Preoperative planning of medical attention is crucial in minimally-invasive laser, microwave and radiofrequency treatments. For this purpose, it is important to determine accurately the parameters of biological tissues that describe its changes that occur during hyperthermia procedures.
A method providing spatially uniform heating was developed during which changes in the modulus of the electrical admittance of the sample at a frequency of 10 kHz corresponding to the β-dispersion region which is most sensitive to degradation processes were recorded. Highly sensitive fiber Bragg gratings were used for temperature measurements.
Amplitude modulation of optical radiation power (20 W at 970 nm) enabled the separation of reversible and irreversible changes occurring during the heating process. Reversible changes are related to the temperature dependence of the ionic conductivity, and irreversible ones are related to cell lysis and protein coagulation.
Experimental data were obtained for chicken liver samples. The data were analyzed using the Arrhenius formalism describing the irreversible degradation process of biological tissue. The values of the critical temperature and the logarithm of the frequency factor were obtained.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Thermal Biology publishes articles that advance our knowledge on the ways and mechanisms through which temperature affects man and animals. This includes studies of their responses to these effects and on the ecological consequences. Directly relevant to this theme are:
• The mechanisms of thermal limitation, heat and cold injury, and the resistance of organisms to extremes of temperature
• The mechanisms involved in acclimation, acclimatization and evolutionary adaptation to temperature
• Mechanisms underlying the patterns of hibernation, torpor, dormancy, aestivation and diapause
• Effects of temperature on reproduction and development, growth, ageing and life-span
• Studies on modelling heat transfer between organisms and their environment
• The contributions of temperature to effects of climate change on animal species and man
• Studies of conservation biology and physiology related to temperature
• Behavioural and physiological regulation of body temperature including its pathophysiology and fever
• Medical applications of hypo- and hyperthermia
