Abstract
Relative stability of mineral elements in tissues is necessary for health. High static magnetic fields (HiSMFs) have been widely used in biomedical research and industry. However, the bioeffect of HiSMFs on animals is still unclear. In this study, we investigated the effects of HiSMF exposure on the levels of Mg, Fe, Zn, Ca, and Cu in the main organs of mice. The 8-week male C57BL/6 mice were treated by 2-4 T, 6-8 T, 10-12 T HiSMFs for 28 days. The mass fractions of Mg, Fe, Zn, Ca, and Cu in the liver, brain, kidney, and heart in mice were respectively measured by atomic absorption spectroscopy, and used to evaluate mineral element content in tissues. The 2-4 T HiSMF exposure has increased the Mg, Fe, and Ca content in the kidney, as well as the Zn content in the brain. The 6-8 T HiSMF exposure has increased the Zn level in the liver; Mg, Fe, and Ca levels in the kidney; and Fe level in the heart, while the Zn in the kidney, and Zn and Ca in the heart was decreased by 6-8 T HiSMF exposure. For the 10-12 T HiSMF exposure, the Mg in the kidney, the Fe in the liver and kidney, and Cu in the brain have been increased significantly. However, the Zn in the kidney and the Ca in the brain and the heart were reduced by 10-12 T HiSMF exposure. The HiSMF exposure for 28 days can alter the Mg, Fe, Zn, Ca, and Cu content in mice, and change with the different magnetic flux density of HiSMFs (2-4 T, 6-8 T, 10-12 T), elements, and organ types.

Abstract
Ubiquitous and ever increasing use of mobile phones led to the growing concern about the effects of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) emitted by cell phones on biological systems. The aim of this study is to explore whether long-term RFR exposure at different frequencies affects DNA damage and oxidant-antioxidant parameters in the blood and brain tissue of rats. 28 male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into four equal groups (n = 7). They were identified as Group 1: sham-control, Group 2: 900 MHz, Group 3: 1800 MHz, and Group 4: 2100 MHz. Experimental groups of rats were exposed to RFR 2 h/day for 6 months. The sham-control group of rats was subjected to the same experimental condition but generator was turned off. Specific absorption rates (SARs) at brain with 1 g average were calculated as 0.0845 W/kg, 0.04563 W/kg, and 0.03957, at 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, and 2100 MHz, respectively. Additionally, malondialdehyde (MDA), 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), total antioxidant status (TAS), and total oxidant status (TOS) analyses were conducted in the brain tissue samples. Results of the study showed that DNA damage and oxidative stress indicators were found higher in the RFR exposure groups than in the sham-control group. In conclusion, 900-, 1800-, and 2100-MHz RFR emitted from mobile phones may cause oxidative damage, induce increase in lipid peroxidation, and increase oxidative DNA damage formation in the frontal lobe of the rat brain tissues. Furthermore, 2100-MHz RFR may cause formation of DNA single-strand breaks.

Abstract
The most important problems of modern dentistry cover not only the early diagnosis but also prevention of dental caries, including the one based on the use of various hygienic products and therapeutic agents. Normally, the processes of re- and demineralization in the oral cavity are in a state of dynamic. However, in the presence of cariogenic factors, the balance is shifted towards demineralization. In the event of initial caries, enamel remineralization is possible only to a certain extent, and specifically, for a reversible degree of carious lesion. There was an idea about structural changes in polymer-based consumable dental materials including toothpastes. The purpose of the study is to increase the efficiency of dental caries prevention based on the activation of metabolic processes in dental hard tissues with the use of R.O.C.S. Active Calcium toothpastes (Russian-Swiss "DRC-Group" company) modified by an electromagnetic field. As a result of the experimental part of the study, certain changes in the properties of the R.O.C.S. Active Calcium toothpastes under the electromagnetic field influence including microstructural transformation of the toothpaste (an increase in the size of the polymer matrix particles and a decrease in the distance between them confirmed by the electron microscopy findings), confirmed by the transmission electron microscopy results. The investigations with the help of X-ray microanalysis made it possible to clarify the chemical composition of the surface layer of the tooth enamel, for the first time to reveal in detail the concentration of micro- and macroelements of organic and inorganic nature, to trace the changes occurring under controlled tooth cleaning with the R.O.C.S. Active Calcium toothpaste treated with an electromagnetic field. The obtained results promote the further studies of laws in change of physical and mechanical properties of treatment-and-prophylactic means under the electromagnetic field influence in respect of dental caries preventive maintenance efficiency increase.

Clinical and laboratory evaluation of microstructural changes in the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of dental filling materials under the influence of an electromagnetic field.

Abstract
Restorative filling materials used for dental caries prevention and treatment consist of various components including monomers or oligomers, which play a significant role in forming the main structure of these materials, as well as in characterising their physical, mechanical and chemical properties. The necessity for the development and improvement of structural characteristics of polymeric dental filling materials intended for caries prevention and their life duration increase served as the initiating factor of our research. According to the research purpose and challenges, we studied the changes in the physical, mechanical and chemical properties of composite filling materials with and without electromagnetic field influence. The investigations in vivo include the study of microstructural features of polymeric filling materials by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the investigations in vitro include the study of sealed and extracted human teeth chips by using X-ray spectral analysis. We also evaluated the changes in the strength characteristics of dental filling materials with and without electromagnetic field influence. The analysis of the obtained data indicates the presence of structural changes in polymeric dental filling materials, including the material microstructure condensation confirmed by the SEM results, an increase in the strength and adhesion characteristics and certain regularities of the chemical elemental composition concentration change in the area of hard tooth tissue and dental filling material. These scientific data will provide tooth caries prevention and promote the increase of treatment quality.
