The Biostimulating Effect of Laser Beam

Abstract

Report of our earlier experiences gained in clinical and experimental results on wound healing. We could prove the stimulating effect of low power Ruby, He-Ne and Argon laser-beams on different biological systems as follows:

• 1/ serial light and electronmicroscopical studies,

• 2/ examinations on the radioactivity of the collagen precursors,

• 3/ chemical transfer of stimulating substrate on human leucocyte population,

• 4/ enzymhistochemical studies,

• 5/ on the tensile strength of sutured wounds,

• 6/ neovascularization with the “ear chamber” technique,

• 7/ prostaglandin E₂ and F₂ α-production,

• 8/ biochemical demonstration of the RNA, DNA, protein synthesis on fibrocyte cultures,

• 9/ skin homotransplantation of mice and

• 10/ acetylcholine releasing effect on Auerbach’s plexus.
