The present invention falls within the technical field of cell repair, and specifically relates to a method for repairing stem cells and a use thereof. On the basis of the original invention technology, following improvement, in the present invention, pulse wave-treated water having the function of repairing stem cells is obtained by means of pulse wave-treated water having pulse wave sequences with equal widths and unequal intervals, and the method has additive effects on multiple treated samples. Without influencing cell proliferation, a culture system prepared from the pulse wave-treated water can not only reduce the natural apoptosis effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (H-MSC), but also can inhibit injury-induced H-MSC apoptosis, and has a cell repair effect.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to methods and systems for treating irrigation water by introducing a propagating electromagnetic field into the irrigation water as it flows through an irrigation system. The treatments described herein may have a variety of beneficial effects on the water, including a significant increase in the percentage of the water that is maintained in the root zone of a given crop as plant-available water and the essential mineral, e.g. calcium and/or magnesium, uptake of that crop.

A purification apparatus includes a radio frequency (RF) signal source that generates an RF signal, first and second electrodes, and a conduit. The first electrode receives the RF signal and converts it into electromagnetic energy that is radiated by the first electrode. The conduit includes input and output ports and a chamber. The input and output ports are in fluid communication with the chamber, and the chamber is configured to receive an electrodeless bulb. The chamber is defined by first and second boundaries that are separated by a distance that is less than the wavelength of the RF signal so that the chamber is sub-resonant. The first electrode is physically positioned at the first boundary, and the second electrode is physically positioned at the second boundary. The first and second electrodes and the chamber form a structure that capacitively couples the electromagnetic energy into an electrodeless bulb within the chamber.
