Effect of Visible and Infrared Polarized Light on the Healing Process of Full-Thickness Skin Wounds: An Experimental Study

Abstract

In conclusion, this specific fraction of polarized light seems to have beneficial effects on wound healing, leading to faster epithelialization and qualitatively better wound healing.

Genome-wide gene expression study indicates the anti-inflammatory effect of polarized light in recurrent childhood respiratory disease

“…This seems to support also the early findings by Feny} o [4] that polarized light treatment evoked an increase in the local T-lymphocyte count in wounded skin during the healing process [4]. Numerous additional studies confirm earlier results [5,6] by proving the accelerating effect of polarized light on wound healing. Well-established clinical observations have demonstrated the effect of polarized light on the significant acceleration of epithelialization, increase in collagen production, and the reorganization of the extracellular matrix [7].…”

Benznidazole, itraconazole and their combination in the treatment of acute experimental Chagas disease in dogs

“…The difference between the number of cell nuclei present in the infected animals and that observed in uninfected animals determined the normal pattern of inflammatory cells. Data were expressed as mean number ± standard deviation of nucleated cells, as described by Maltos [15]. Collagen deposition was carried out by qualitative comparative analysis in tissues stained with Masson trichrome stain.…”

Laserterapia e microcorrente na cicatrização de queimadura em ratos: terapias associadas ou isoladas?

“…The tissue analysis was performed by a blind evaluator with the use of a Nikon® (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) optical microscope. All the criteria applied in the semi-quantitative histological analysis [16][17] were verified through scores in a scale from 0 to 3 (Table 1). Figure 1.…”
