Measurement of Electrode Potentials in Living and Dead Tissues

The Effect of Electric Current on the Healing time of Crural Fractures

“…Jahn put forward the hypothesis in Figure 1, based on Wolff's law and on Basset's theory (1966). It is well known that bioelectrical differences of potentials exist in tissue, and that these potentials may be related to the activity in the tissue and thus to the metabolism (Cater & Phillips 1954). Neurotransmission potentials and muscular potentials are well known in the clinic.…”

Clinical and Laboratory Studies of the Therapeutic Possibilities of Tritiated Synkavit, Mainly by Intra-Arterial Administration

“…I n these trials every patient receives the best possible treatment according to present knowledge. The critical importance of timing of the injection before irradiation has been confirmed by electrode potential measurements of the oxygen tension and oxidation-reduction potential in tumours and normal tissues (CATER and PHILLIPS, 1954;SILVER, 1956, 1957a, b andCATER, SILVER and WILSON, 1959).…”

Prodrugs in cancer chemotherapy

“…As tumour tissue, due to its metabolic differences, has a somewhat higher reducing capacity than normal tissue (Cater & Phillips, 1954), it may lead to preferential activation of such drugs. The design of drugs to make use of this property has given rise to the concept of bioreductive activation.…”
