title: [A study of the functional activity of macrophages of peritoneal exudate of mice exposed to low-intensity laser radiation in vitro and in vivo].
abstract: The effect of low-intensity laser radiation generated by semiconductor devices in the red (650 nm) and infrared (850 nm) regions of the spectrum in vitro and in vivo on the phagocytic activity and synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines by peritoneal macrophages during the phagocytosis of bacterial cells has been studied. A culture of the clinical strain of the enteropathogenic bacterium Escherichia coli was used as an object. The radiation dose was varied by changing the power and duration of exposure. The results obtained indicate that infrared low-intensity laser radiation has a stimulating effect on the phagocytic activity of macrophages. It was shown that the effect of low-intensity laser radiation on the activity of the phagocytic process, the enhancement of the adhesion of bacteria by macrophages, killing of bacteria, and the production of proinflammatory cytokines is dose-dependent. The exposure to the rays of the red region of the spectrum on phagocytizing macrophages induced a decrease in their activity; as the dose was increased, the destruction of cells was registered.
