RESUMO
The objective of the present study was to estimate the efficacy of pulsed laser radiation from a matrix radiator for the treatment of patients suffering osteoarthrosis of the knee joint. A total of 25 patients aged from 50 to 75 years with I-II stage gonarthrosis (GA) were enrolled (20 without synovitis and 5 with mild synovitis). Nineteen patients presented with oligoosteoarthrosis and six with polyosteoarthrosis. The state of capillary blood flow was assessed from the results of laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) using a LAKK-01 laser analyzer of surface capillary blood flow (NPP "LAZMA", Russia). Prior to the treatment, all the patients with gonarthrosis had microcirculatory disturbances; based on their character, the patients were allocated to two groups in accordance with the classification proposed by V.I. Makolkin. Group 1 was comprised of the patients (92%) with the hyperemic type of microcirculation while group 2 included patients (8%) with its normnnocirculatory type. A single course of pulsed laser therapy resulted in the appearance of the signs of normalization of capillary blood flow. LDF revealed a physiological response of microvessels to pulsed laser radiation that manifested itself in the first place as the improvement of active mechanisms of regulation of microcirculation.

We've studied morphofunctional peculiarities of 47 young sportsmen-rovers. 25.6% of the young sportsmen suffered from the 1st degree arterial hypertension and 8.5% had high--normal blood pressure. Profound clinical and dynamic checkup proved that in the group of rovers with high blood pressure the indices of arterial blood pressure compared to those of the group of sportsmen having normal blood pressure there is certain enlargement of ventriculus sinister cordis myocardium mass and deterioration of functional reserve.
