  • Title: [Effect of low-intensity laser radiation on neutrophils from cervical discharge of women with mycoplasma infection].
    Author: Dolgushin II, Gizinger OA.
    Journal: Vopr Kurortol Fizioter Lech Fiz Kult; 2008; (4):29-31. PubMed ID: 18822484.
    Abstract:
    Effect of low-intensity laser radiation on the main effector functions of neutrophils from the cervical discharge was studied in women with mycoplasma infection and dysfunction of neutrophil granulocytes manifest in the first place as a reduced number of phagocytic cells and decreased intensity of phagocytosis. The fraction of intracellular active forms of oxygen in cervical neutrophils from infected women was smaller than in healthy ones. Irradiation by low-intensity laser light increased both activity of pagocytosis and intracellular generation of active oxygen forms. It is concluded that low-intensity laser radiation normalizes disturbed neutrophil function.
