title: [Morphologic changes in popliteal lymph nodes subjected local irradiation with low energy red laser].
abstract: Changes of morphological parameters of relative area of structural components on histological section, submicroscopic peculiarities of cells from regional and contralateral popliteal lymph nodes (LN) of albino rats were found to correlate with the dose of irradiation of low power laser (LPL) (3-30.0 J/cm2). It was proven that 3.0 J/cm2 irradiation stimulates LN. It is essential that local action of LPL causes similar reaction in the contralateral right popliteal LN, which indicates systemic reaction of the immune system to this physical factor.
