The
inflammatory response is observed in many diseases. This response
to tissue injury is a complex of vascular-tissue changes whose function
is to limit the damage area and remove (or prevent the spread of)
a pathogenic agent. The anti-inflammatory action of polychromatic
and monochromatic polarized BIOPTRON-light has two phases. In the
first (promoting inflammation) phase, the process of formation of
reactive oxygen species on the cell membranes is stimulated, the
release of cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-a), which promote inflammation,
is observed and peroxidation is enhanced. The vessel wall is damaged,
platelet aggregation is inhibited, and the parietal assembly of
cell elements occurs. However, the antioxidant protection is also
activated at the same time, which to some extent suppresses the
damage processes.
Local
vasodilation takes place and arterial hyperaemia is stimulated under
the influence of the subsequent sessions using BIOPTRON-light. The
content of angiogenesis (vascular endothelial) growth factor (VEGF)
is increased, and the migration of endothelial and stem cells is
stimulated. The growth of micro-vessels and increased microcirculation
lead to improved oxygenation of stagnant areas in the focus of inflammation
and to the elimination of breakdown products.
After
this the polarised light stimulates the final phase of inflammation,
proliferation (reparative regeneration) and self-limitation of the
process. This increases the production of anti-inflammatory hormones,
anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, which transforms the TGF-ß
growth factor. The chaperon (HSP-70 proteins) content, the "repair"
proteins that restore the spatial structure of a protein molecule,
is increased in the wound.
This
stimulates the division of many cell types (fibroblasts, monocytes,
lymphocytes, endothelial and stem cells, thymocytes, myocytes, chondrocytes,
keratinocytes, osteoblasts, and others.). The components of the
respiratory chain (cytochrome-c-oxidase, flavoproteins, and adenine
nucleotides) are activated; the content of adenosine triphosphaten
mitochondria is increased. The regeneration of peripheral nerves,
receptors and synapses is stimulated which prevents the development
of neurogenic dystrophy. The volume of the focus of inflammation
decreases gradually from the periphery to the centre, destroyed
tissue is replaced by newly formed analogues or scar tissue.
Thus
polarized light stimulates the triggering mechanisms of the inflammatory
response and restricts it in later phases when restoring the structure
and function of the damaged tissue by optimising the inflammatory
response. In some cases, BIOPTRON-light, which causes significant
recovery processes including for wound injuries, can be considered
as a means of monotherapy.
Clinical
observations conducted by the National Kyiv and Kharkiv Medical
Academies of Postgraduate Education of the Ministry of Health of
Ukraine, by Kiev and Odessa State Medical Universities of the Ministry
of Health of Ukraine and by the leading medical institutions of
Ukraine, have revealed the effectiveness of BIOPTRON-light for the
treatment of diseases with associated inflammation, pain, immunodeficiency,
spastic, swelling, neurotic, poly-traumatic and wound syndromes.
Among
the large array of publications on the BIOPTRON-light therapy, research
dissertations are considered to carry the most weight. An author
has to perform the research in accordance with the prescribed rules
of procedure, to publish the results in top-rated journals, to pass
through the sieve of multi-stage review and to publicly defend the
fundamental provisions. The topics of research dissertations containing
sections on BIOPTRON-light therapy are given below:
- Chronic
inflammation of supramaxillary cavities due to the effects of
radiation exposure;
- Immune
status in bronchial asthma combined with chronic fatigue syndrome;
- Respiratory
disorders in children with the consequences of radiation exposure;
- Adaptive
disorders in children (including acute respiratory viral diseases);
- Prevention
and treatment of wound infections in obstetrics;
- Surgical
purulent-septic complications in drug abuse and AIDS cases;
- Chronic
posttraumatic osteomyelitis of the long bones of the limbs;
- Experimental
graduated burn injury and monotherapy with BIOPTRON-light;
- Bronchial
asthma and expired breath condensate indicators in background
immunotherapy;

- Generalised
periodontitis with cryodestruction;
Zona serpiginosa (herpes zoster);
- Reproductive
function in patients with endometriosis genitalis;
- Discirculatory
encephalopathy and haemostasis markers;
Neuro-humoral mechanisms of the systemic effects of physical factors
of electromagnetic origin (including prostate diseases);
- Vegetative-vascular
and necrotic disorders in transport drivers;
- Hypogalactia
in women with anaemia of pregnancy;
- Ectopia
of uterine cervix in nulliparous women;
