  • Title: [Regeneration of gastrocnemius muscle and state of immune system in radiated rats under the influence of He-Ne laser].
    Author: Buliakova NV, Azarova VS.
    Journal: Izv Akad Nauk Ser Biol; 2002; (1):38-50. PubMed ID: 12068437.
    Abstract:
    We studied the influence of a low-energy He-Ne laser on the regeneration of the transected gastrocnemius muscle and state of the thymus and bone marrow in adult mongrel rats irradiated at 6 Gy using the histological, morphometric, and cytogenetic methods. The laser influence on both rat hind limbs (at total doses of 9.0-10.8 J/cm2) during the first 14 days after transection enhanced the regenerative capacity of the skeletal muscle traumatized as a result of irradiation, and reduced cytogenetic damage in the bone marrow and thymus cells. The changes in the thymus mass and histology suggest that the functional load on the thymus increased under the experimental conditions.
