title: [Morphologic validation of the use of laser puncture in myopathies].
abstract: Conditions of hypokinesia from 10 to 150 days were produced in 24 4-month-old male rats. Biologically active points were irradiated by a helium-neon laser. Microscopically visualized destructive changes of muscle fibers were most pronounced on the 50-th day of hypokinesia (43.4% of muscle fibers). After laser puncture destructive changes reduced by the 50-th day to 7.2%. It was also established that after laser treatment microcirculation increased development of intramuscular connective tissue showed a delay, regenerative processes became activated. It is concluded that in the hypokinesia variant of myopathy laser puncture plays a structure-saving role and increases the restorative processes in the muscles.
