ABSTRACT
Experimental data are presented, validating the use of low-intensity laser irradiation at a wave length of 633 nm for the treatment of chronic recurrent herpetic stomatitis. Clinical trials were carried out in 167 children. Laser exposure with the optimal stimulating parameters was found to be an effective means for the treatment of children suffering from this condition.

The ATP content of human fibroblasts increases or decreases depending on the mode of exposure (local and whole-body irradiation at 180 and 8 mW/cm2, respectively). Irradiation gives rise to conjugative changes in the monolayer density of cells and ATP accumulation in them.

In experiments in vivo it was shown that local laser irradiation of the parietal region of the rat head changed the activity of principal enzymes of glutamic acid metabolism both in the brain and in the liver, whereas peripheral irradiation of epigastric region caused changes in the activity of the studied enzymes in the affected site only.
