[Effect of a low-intensity CO2 laser on the process of reparative regeneration of experimental wounds]. / Vliianie nizkointensivnogo CO2-lazera na protessy reparativnoi regeneratsii éksperimental'nykh ran.

The authors studied the effect of CO2 laser with an energy density ranging from 0.1 to 300 mVt/cm2 on reparative regeneration of experimental wounds. The criteria of the efficacy of laser therapy were the wound surface area, the surface of the necrotic area, cellular composition and the content of collagen and glycosaminoglycans in the granulation tissue. Laser radiation with an energy density of 0.5 and 4 mVt/cm2 and exposure of 2 min appeared to produce the most beneficial effect on reparative regeneration.

[Treatment of trophic ulcers and non-healing wounds with CO2 laser]. / Lechenie CO2-lazerom troficheskikh iazv i dlitel'no ne zazhivaiushchikh ran.

The authors used high and low intensity CO2 lasers for the treatment of 140 patients with trophic ulcers and continuously non-healing wounds. Choice of the method of treatment, parameters of laser radiation are based on concrete values of indices of the regeneration processes in the wounds and ulcers. In 83,6% of patients there was a complete recovery of the wounds, in 16,4% the recovery was partial.
