摘要

光生物调节疗法(冷激光或低水平激光治疗)在人类和小动物医学中得到了评价;然而,人们对光生物调节疗法在爬行动物康复和释放中的作用缺乏了解。本研究使用计算机断层扫描(CT)中的可量化单位Hounsfield单位(骨密度测量)来评估光生物调节治疗在接受和光生物调节治疗组和未接受光生物调节治疗组之间是否显示出显著的愈合差异。这项研究包括20只东部箱龟(Terrapene carolina),它们被送到一个康复中心,在没有穿透体腔的情况下持续发生壳骨折。他们都接受了类似的治疗,除了光生物调节组接受250赫兹的红色激光,每次3分钟,每周3次,持续8周。在两个月的治疗过程中,对海龟进行了评估。在治疗前、治疗中点(损伤后1个月)和研究结束时(损伤后2个月)分别进行计算机断层扫描。采用非参数方法评估骨折的平均Hounsfield单位,即Wilcoxon/ Kruskal-Wallis测试(排序和),发现光生物调节组和对照组在扫描期间的壳密度没有显著差异。这项研究确实发现,两组在治疗前后扫描的骨折宽度方面存在显著差异(p = 0.0455)。本研究发现,光生物调节组在治疗前和治疗后测量的骨折部位宽度明显减小,表明光生物调节可能是一种相对简单有效的促进骨折龟壳愈合的治疗方法。

The Effects of Photobiomodulation Therapy on the Healing of Eastern Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina) Shells
Photobiomodulation therapy (cold laser or low-level laser therapy) has been evaluated in human and small animal medicine; however, there is a lack of knowledge about the role photobiomodulation therapy could play in reptile rehabilitation and release. This study used a quantifiable unit, Hounsfield units (bone density measurement), in computed tomography (CT) to evaluate if photobiomodulation therapy showed a significant healing difference between groups treated with photobiomodulation and those that were not. This study included 20 eastern box turtles (Terrapene carolina) presented to a rehabilitation center that sustained shell fractures without penetrating the coelom. They all received similar medical treatments, except that the photobiomodulation group received 250 Hz of red light laser for three minutes three times a week for eight weeks. The turtles were evaluated over the course of two months of therapy. Computed tomography scans were performed prior to therapy, at the midpoint of treatment (one month postinjury), and at the end of the study (two months postinjury). The average Hounsfield units of the fractures were evaluated using nonparametric means, the Wilcoxon/Kruskal–Wallis tests (ranked sums), and found that there were no significant differences in shell density between the photobiomodulation and control groups amongst the scans. This study did find that there was a significant difference (p = 0.0455) between the two groups in regard to the width of the fracture between pre- and post-treatment scans. This study found that the photobiomodulation group had a significantly decreased width of the fracture site between pre-treatment and post-treatment measurements, showing that photobiomodulation could be a relatively easy and effective treatment to promote healing of fractured turtle shells.
