Irradiation of the epithelial cells from human thymus (cell line HTSC) by arsenid-gallium laser (0.89 nm, 1500 Hz) induces an enhancement of thymic hormone production. The concentration of alpha-1-thymosin was substantially increased on the days 1 and 5 in culture after irradiation. The increase of thymulin level in cultural supernatants was less pronounced and displayed after irradiation during 3-4 minutes. Local laser irradiation of thymus region of rats (5 minutes, 10 times) induce the increase of serum concentration of alpha-1-thymosin and the decrease of serum level of thymulin 2 days after irradiation.

[The enhancement of immune suppression by local laser irradiation in rats exposed to cyclophosphane].

The authors experimentally studied where low-energy laser radiation (LELR) can be used to enhance cyclophosphanum-induced immunodepression. Preliminary LELR of the adrenal region and cyclophosphanum, 4 mg/kg, resulted in a more profound decrease in the intensity of a primary immune response as compared to the controls received a pseudoradiation and the cytostatic in the same dosage. The findings suggest that laser radiation can be applied to the adrenal region in the clinical setting to reduce a dose of the cytostatic administered and hence adverse effects, by preserving the therapeutical level of immunodepression.
