    Abstract In modern oncology, therapies are based on combining monotherapies to overcome treatment resistance and increase therapy precision. The application of microsecond-pulsed electric fields (PEF) is approved to enhance local chemotherapeutic drug uptake within combination electrochemotherapy regimens. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in anticancer effects, and cold physical plasma produces vast amounts of ROS, which have recently been shown to benefit head and neck cancer patients. PEF and cold plasma technology have been linked to immunogenic cell death (ICD) induction, a regulated cell death accompanied by sterile inflammation that promotes antitumor immunity. To this end, we investigated the combined effect of both treatments regarding their intracellular ROS accumulation, toxicity, ICD-related marker expression, and optimal exposure sequence in a leukemia model cell line. The combination treatment substantially increased ROS and intracellular glutathione levels, leading to additive cytotoxic effects accompanied by a significantly increased expression of ICD markers, such as the eat-me signal calreticulin (CRT). Preconditioned treatment with cold plasma followed by PEF exposure was the most potent treatment sequence. The results indicate additive effects of cold plasma and PEF, motivating further studies in skin and breast tumor models for the future improvement of ECT in such patients.

    Abstract The potential of electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was demonstrated for the investigation of microstructural properties of osseous tissue. Therefore, a deep neural network (DNN) was implemented for a sensitive assessment of different structural features that were derived on the basis of dielectric parameters, especially relative permittivities, recorded over a frequency range from 40 Hz to 5 MHz. The advantages of the developed method over conventional approaches, including equivalent circuit models (ECMs), linear regression and effective medium approximation (EMA), is the comprehensive quantification of bone morphologies by several microstructural parameters simultaneously, such as bone volume fraction (BV/TV), bone surface-volume-ratio (BS/BV), structure model index (SMI), trabecular number (Tb.N) and trabecular thickness (Tb.Th). The comparison of predictions of the DNN with an analysis of µCT-images confirmed a high accuracy for different microstructural parameters, which was indicated by corresponding Pearson correlation coefficients, especially for Tb.Th (r = 0.89) and BS/BV (r = 0.80). Concurrently, the approach was able to unambiguously discriminate anatomically similar bone regions (femoral head, greater trochanter and femoral neck) and therefore was capable to determine the morphological status of osseous tissue in detail. The classification was more discriminative than one based on classical linear discriminant analysis (LDA), due to the distinguishing features extracted by the DNN model. Accordingly, the method and model can serve as a potential tool for evaluating bone quality and bone status.

    Abstract A universal strategy for the sensitive investigation of cell responses to external stimuli, in particular nanosecond pulsed electric fields (nsPEFs), was developed based on electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in combination with a multi-peak analysis for the distribution of relaxation times (DRT). The DRT method provides high resolution for the identification of different polarization processes without a priori assumptions, as they are needed by more conventional approaches, such as an evaluation by equivalent circuit models. Accordingly, the physical properties of cells and their changes due to external stimuli can be uncovered and visualized and dispersion mechanisms introduced by Schwan et al. clearly identified. These are in particular relaxation processes at about 100 kHz that are associated with cell membrane characteristics and dominating respective changes of the distribution function for epithelial cell monolayers after exposure. A relatively moderate evolution at about 10 kHz may represent the polarization of extracellular matrices. Relaxation processes at around 1 MHz were suggested to be associated with intracellular changes. Conversely, the distribution of relaxation times can aid the optimization of the experimental design with respect to intended responses by an external stimulus.
