Alternating Current (AC) Iontophoretic Transport across Human Epidermal Membrane: Effects of AC Frequency and Amplitude
We examine the mean flux across a homogeneous membrane of a charged tracer subject to an alternating, symmetric voltage waveform. The analysis is based on the Nernst-Planck flux equation, with electric field subject to time dependence only. For low frequency electric fields the quasi steady-state flux can be approximated using the Goldman model, which has exact analytical solutions for tracer c...
متن کاملCellular Permeation Pathways: Current focus of Permeation Enhancers for Effective Drug Delivery
Certain agents that enhance drug transport through the skin, including surfactants, bile salts, and fatty acids, have been shown to exert a similar effect on the oral mucosa. Oral drug delivery offers an attractive method of needle-free drug administration. Unfortunately, oral delivery is often hampered by the poor permeability of drugs across the intestinal epithelium. Although several single ...
متن کاملAlteration of Membrane Permeability of Bacteria and Yeast by High Frequency Alternating Current (HFAC)
AIMS Endox((R)) Endodontic System (Endox) is used for endodontic treatment by a high frequency alternating current (HFAC). This device damaged the envelopes of spores and vegetative organisms. If the integrity of the envelope is compromised, the transit of compounds in the two directions is possible. This latter aspect was investigated here. METHODS The instrument delivered a 60ms pulse at a ...
متن کاملTectorial membrane morphological variation: effects upon stimulus frequency otoacoustic emissions.
The tectorial membrane (TM) is widely believed to play an important role in determining the ear's ability to detect and resolve incoming acoustic information. While it is still unclear precisely what that role is, the TM has been hypothesized to help overcome viscous forces and thereby sharpen mechanical tuning of the sensory cells. Lizards present a unique opportunity to further study the role...
متن کاملElectrical stimulation using kilohertz-frequency alternating current.
Transcutaneous electrical stimulation using kilohertz-frequency alternating current (AC) became popular in the 1950s with the introduction of "interferential currents," promoted as a means of producing depth-efficient stimulation of nerve and muscle. Later, "Russian current" was adopted as a means of muscle strengthening. This article reviews some clinically relevant, laboratory-based studies t...
