title: [Effect of infrared laser radiation on sorption of dry cartilage and connective tissue preparations].
abstract: Cartilaginous and connective tissues were exposed to a moderate-intensity IR laser treatment with IR radiometric temperature control. The isotherms of water sorption by dry preparations of intact and laser-treated tissues were obtained and calculated in terms of well known models. It was shown that the sorption capacity of a monolayer of tissues decreases with increasing temperature during laser treatment. Changes in the supramolecular structure of the extracellular matrix of tissues (loss of regularity) upon IR laser exposure are discussed.
