[Experimental and clinical substantiation of laser therapy of wounds and trophic ulcers].
The authors have studied the results of 120 experiments on 60 guinea-pigs and 110 rabbits who received the treatment of modelled fenestrated musculocutaneous wounds and trophic ulcers respectively on the replanted extremity and on the back with helium and neon laser until they healed completely. The authors have demonstrated that the laser therapy accelerates the process of reparative regeneration. In 50 intact rabbits who received local irradiation with helium and neon laser there was an increase in the activity of lysosome enzymes and in the protein metabolism values in the blood serum. The use of the helium and neon laser with the specific density of the irradiation rate of 2.5 mWt/cm2 and the exposition during 5 minutes in the treatment of trophic ulcers and persistent wounds in 56 patients as well as in 38 patients with consequences of injuries to the main blood vessels, the nerve trunks, the muscles and the tendons of the extremities before and after the reconstructive operations testifies to its high efficacy.
