“…However, other researchers have used other effective acupoints and acupuncture methods in human beings and reported favourable therapeutic responses (Hu 1998, Maa and others 2003, Milojevic and Kuruc 2003. These methods and those used in the present study should be compared in well designed studies involving larger numbers of dogs with tracheal collapse.…”

“…Methods of treatment using alternative and complementary techniques, such as acupuncture (Jeong andothers 2002, Maa andothers 2003), laser acupuncture (Gruber andothers 2002, Milojevic andKuruc 2003) and moxibustion (Lai and others 2001) have been reported to be effective in the treatment of human patients with asthma. However, the therapeutic effect of acupuncture on tracheal collapse has not been investigated.…”

“…He [1] w swoich badaniach uzyskał istotną poprawę parametrów wentylacyjnych w 33 przy padkach na 48 przy zastosowaniu stymulacji laserem niskiej energii u pacjentów z astmą w porównaniu do grupy kontrolnej niestymulowanej (20 przypadków poprawy na 48). Milojevic i Kurc [2] porównywali zmiany parametrów 50 pacjentów z astmą oskrzelową, podzielonych na 2 grupy, których leczenie różniło się zastosowaniem w jednej z nich stymulacji laserowej BAP. Uzyskali oni poprawę parametrów wentylacyjnych, zwłaszcza w trzecim i dziesiątym dniu terapii.…”

“…He [1] achieved a signifi cant improvement of the spirometric parameters in 33 of 48 asthma cases he studied and treated with low energy laser and compared with a control group that had not been stimulated (improvement in 20 of 48 cases). Milojevic and Kurc [2] compared variations of the spirometric parameters in a group of 50 patients with bronchial asthma, whom they divided into two subgroups and only one of subgroups were subjected to laser stimulation of the BAP. They observed an improvement of the spirometric parameters, especially on the third and tenth day of the therapy.…”

Streszczenie:Cel i założenia. Celem przeprowadzonych badań było wykazanie wpływu stymulacji laserem niskiej energii biologicznie aktywnych punktów (BAP), odpowiedzialnych za odruchową regulację funkcjonowania oskrzeli i płuc, na wybrane parametry opisujące czynność wentylacyjną pacjentów z zaostrzeniami POChP. Materiał i metoda. Badania przeprowadzono na 40 pacjentach podzielonych na 2 grupy: kontrolną i badawczą, w której obok standardowego leczenia zastosowano stymulację laserową. W analizie statystycznej posłużono się testem istotności kolejności par Wilcoxona oraz testem U Manna-Whitneya. Wnioski. Uzyskane wyniki badań: istotna poprawa (p < 0,01) parametrów FVC, FEV 1 , PEF w grupie badawczej sugerują celowość włączenia stymulacji laserowej do kompleksowej fi zjoterapii oddechowej pacjentów z zaostrzeniami POChP.Słowa kluczowe: laseroterapia, czynność wentylacyjna płuc. Abstract:Aims and assumptions. The aim of this study was to show the impact of low level laser stimulation of BAP (Biologically Active Points), responsible for involuntary control of the bronchi and lungs, on selected spirometric parameters characterising respiratory capacity in patients with acute stages of COPD. Material and method. The study was conducted on a group of 40 patients, who had been divided into two subgroups -the control group and the research group, which, apart from the standard treatment, had been subjected to laser stimulation. Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Signed-Ranks Test and Mann-Whitney U Test were used for the purposes of statistical analysis. Conclusions. Findings showed a signifi cant improvement (p < 0.01) of FVC, FEV 1 and PEF in the research group, which confi rms that inclusion of laser stimulation in rehabilitation of patients with acute stages of COPD might be benefi cial.

Recent studies show that low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has an important anti-inflammatory action in acute lung inflammation. The present work explored if laser therapy is able to antagonize eosinophils and allergic inflammation induced by oxidative stress in Balb/c mice. Forty-eight hours after challenge, the leukocyte counting, ROS and nitrite/nitrate level, RANTES, CCL3, CCL8 as well as eotaxins were measured in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of laser-treated mice or not. Into the lung, some chemokines receptors, the iNOS activity and mRNA expression, and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, gluthatione, NADPH oxidase activities and thiobarbituric acid reactive species (T-Bars) were measured. Laser-treated allergic mice presented reduction of both the ICAM-1 and eosinophil in the lungs. RANTES, CCL8, CCL3 and eotaxins were reduced in BALF of laser-treated allergic mice. In allergic mice lung LLLT decreased the CCR1 and CCR3 and restored the oxidative stress balance as well. Laser decreased the lipidic peroxidation in allergic mice lung as much as increased SOD, GPx and GR. It shows that LLLT on allergic lung inflammation involves leukocyte-attractant chemokines and endogenous antioxidant. Based on results, LLLT may ultimately become a non- invasive option in allergic lung disease treatment. The top figure illustrates the laser decreasing the eosinophils migration into BALF and the bottom figure shows the laser upregulating the expression of heme-oxygenase (anti-oxidant enzyme) in lung tissue anti-oxidant.
