Electroosmosis interstitial channels

In order to explain all the salient features of the key experimental results on ECT (viz. listed as 1. to 6. at the beginning of Section II, Phenomenology of ECT), Vijh25 proposed a detailed electrochemical mechanism in which electroosmosis of the tissue (and thence water movement from anode to cathode) and electrode reactions (thence necrosis of the tissue, pH changes etc.) play the dominant roles. In particular, he presented a model and some quantitative considerations that delineate Nordenstrom s idea of electroosmosis through the narrow interstitial channels lined with fixed charges as the mechanism of the electrochemical destruction of the tumor tissue.10 Also he examined the role of electrode reactions and other events as possible contributory factors, as follows25 in Section III.2.
