| Abstract | Here, we demonstrates the influence of the pulsing sequence of repetitive nanosecond pulsed electric fields on the viability of human cancer cells. A commercially available repetitive magnetic pulse compression generator was used to deliver 70 ns-long high voltage pulses to cultured HeLa cells in a 4 mm-gap cuvette electrode. Two kinds of pulsing sequential patterns, simply repetitive ns pulses and repetitive burst pulses, were used. The repetition frequency is varied from 0.01 to 250 pulses per second (pps), which corresponds to the interval from 100 to 0.004 s, respectively. The electric field and the number of pulses were fixed at 25 kV/cm and 25, respectively, so that the cells were subjected to the sub-lethal condition. Propidium iodide (PI), which fluoresces in red only when being intercalated to DNA, was used to identify dead cells in a population. Statistical analysis of the death ratio in thousands of cells was done with a flow cytometer. The experiment using the simply repetitive pulses shows the cell viability was changed with the repetition frequency even though the electrical dissipated energy in the medium was the same for all conditions. We found that the death ratio was increased with decreasing the pulse repetition frequency down to 0.33 pps, whereas the ratio is decreased with decreasing the frequency below 0.1 pps. Generally speaking, biological processes advance in their own time constant, for instance, the resealing mechanism of nanopores caused by the application of ns pulses lasts for minutes. The dependence of the cell viability on the pulsing sequence might be associated with time constants of biological processes related to the recovery from the field-induced damage. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
