For this goal, high-tech modalities with high sensitivity, specificity and accuracy are to be worked out. Rаman fluorescent medical technologies (RFMT) can be successfully applied in the diagnostics of inflammatory and tumor diseases if to develop a specific algorithm for express analysis of histological, physiological, microbiological and other components of biological tissues. The given article presents a brief overview on the application of Raman fluorescence spectrometry in the diagnostics of diseases. This medical technology, which utilizes the phenomenon of tissue autoflorescence and Raman light scattering, is a promising tool for early diagnostics of different inflammatory and oncological pathologies. The described nоn-invasive method allows to make an express assessment of metabolic, morphometric and functional tissue parameters in intact and in pathological tissue. The present discussion is aimed to find out points for the application of Rаman fluorescence spectrometry and its various modifications; to assess its potentials for screening; to develop a specific algorithm for the diagnostics of inflammatory and tumor pathologies. RFMT is a promising modality for future applications so as to improve the quality of medical care by early detection of inflammatory and tumor diseases and early prescription of rational therapy.","PeriodicalId":10008,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Laser Medicine & Surgery","volume":"34 14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77238903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The processed cartilage samples were examined macroscopically and then histologically. Changes in the structure of ar[1] ticular cartilage after laser irradiation were assessed. Results. A two-second irradiation with two-wave laser light (λ = 0.97 μm / 30 W and λ = 1.55 μm / 15 W) causes a rapid “melting” of lesion margins without macroscopically visible carbonization with a wide thermally affected zone in the irradiated area.

The optimal combination for laser irradiation of the cartilage tissue in the saline solution environment which restores articular cartilage shape is two-wave laser light λ = 0.97 μm at power of 3 W and λ = 1.55 μm at power of 5 W from the distance of 1–2 mm under 2 sec exposure.

For laser irradiation, laser devise CO2-laser AKHIL with wavelength 10.6 μm, pulsed frequency 10–20 Hz and power 5–15 W was used.

In order to improve the physical performance of athletes, there is a constant search for new tools and methods. Aim: to study the effect of dietary supplements at the microcirculation system, both in isolated use and in combination with low-level laser therapy. Material and methods. The study included 28 highly qualififi ed male all-around athletes of the CMC and MS levels. To study the parameters of skin microcirculation, laser Doppler flfl owmetry (LDF) was used, device “LAKK-02” (NPP “LAZMA”). The following parameter was calculated: microcirculation index (MI) proportional to the number of red blood cells in the diagnosed volume and their average velocity. The received signal give the information about endothelial, neurogenic and myogenic active mechanisms of vascular tone regulation and passive mechanisms – respiratory and cardiac flfl uctuations in blood flfl ow; flfl ax index, specififi c oxygen consumption index by tissues, erythrocyte concentration index in the probed blood volume and the ratio of coenzymes of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and oxidized flfl avinadenine dinucleotide (FAD) (NADH/FAD). Results. After isolated use of dietary supplements, the level of perfusion increases signififi cantly by 48 % (p < 0.05), and the value of the flfl ax increases by 78 % (p < 0.05). More red blood cells by 22 % (p < 0.05) are released from blood depots into the microcirculatory bed. The tone of arterioles decreases by 48 % (p < 0.05), of precapillary sphincters – by 59 % (p < 0.05). In mitochondria, ratio of NADH/FAD coenzymes increases by 55 % (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Laser radiation in combination with dietary supplements optimizes recovery processes in the body of athletes who are subjected to heavy physical exertion. Under the combined effect, the intensity of microcirculation increases, oxygen output of erythrocytes by hemoglobin improves as well as its active diffusion from blood into tissues and participation in the ATP synthesis at the level of cell mitochondrial. It is worth noting that there is similarity in the isolated use of dietary supplements and in combination with low-energy laser radiation which enhances the mechanism of action of dietary supplements.

Given the extraction of eight teeth is a rather traumatic procedure, the authors proposed a technique for treating inflammatory processes in the mucous of maxillofacial area. To implement this technique in the postoperative period, they treated wound surface with photodynamic technique including a photoactive sensitizer. If upper and lower wisdom teeth were removed simultaneously, phototherapy with low-level laser light and bispectral nozzle was applied unilaterally on days 2, 3 and 5, while the other side was not treated at the rehabilitation period. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposed curative technique, scrapes from the wound surface of teeth holes were taken and examined cytologically on days 3, 7 and 12. Staining by Pappenheim and azur-eosin was applied. A randomized simple blind experiment was conducted; a double-blind experiment was a part of morphological examination.Results. Smears from the wound surface were examined on days 3, 7 and 12 to find qualitative and quantitative composition of cytological preparations.
