While the work currently remains just a proof-of-principle, the researchers believe that their technique could ultimately provide an alternative to drugs in treating a range of heart conditions. 美国研究人员发现，如果人置身于磁场之中，可以减少患心脏病的几率，因为磁场可以让人全身的血流变得更加通畅。虽然现在这项研究仅仅处于原理验证阶段，但研究人员相信他们的技术最终能够发现一种手段，来替代一系列治疗心脏病的药物。 Heart attacks and strokes can strike for a variety of reasons. But research suggests that all such vascular conditions are linked by one common symptom – high blood viscosity. Drugs such as aspirin are frequently prescribed to help lower blood viscosity, but these can have unwanted side effects often related to irritation of the stomach. Now, an alternative to drugs may be at hand following recent work by Rongjia Tao at Temple University and his colleague Ke Huang at the University of Michigan. 心脏病和中风可能因为各种各样的原因发作。但是调查显示，所有的血管疾病都与一个普遍的症状有关，即高血粘度。医生经常开一些像阿司匹林的药物来帮助患者降低其血粘度，但是这种做法会带来不必要的副作用，这些副作用常常跟胃刺激有关。现在，根据坦普尔大学的陶荣佳（Rongjia Tao）和他密歇根大学的同事黄克（Ke Huang）的研究，一种取代药物的疗法在可能会出现。 In their experiment, Tao and Huang showed that applying a 1.3 T magnetic pulse to a small sample of blood can significantly reduce its viscosity. About 8 ml of blood with a viscosity of 7 centipoises (cp) – above healthy limits – was contained at body temperature (37 °C) in a test tube. The tube formed part of a device called a capillary viscometer used to measure viscosities. The sample was then exposed to a magnetic field applied parallel to the direction of flow of blood via a coil around the edge of the test tube. After one minute of exposure to the field, the bloods viscosity had been reduced by
