Fractional Photothermolysis: A New Concept for Cutaneous Remodeling Using Microscopic Patterns of Thermal Injury Tập 34 Số 5 - Trang 426-438 - 2004
Dieter Manstein, G. Scott Herron, R. K. Sink, Heather Tanner, R. R. Anderson
AbstractBackground and ObjectivesWe introduce and clinically examine a new
concept of skin treatment called fractional photothermolysis (FP), achieved by
applying an array of microscopic treatment zones (MTZ) of thermal injury to the
skin.Study Design/Materials and MethodsTwo prototype devices emitting at 1.5 μm
wavelength provided a pattern of micro‐exposures with variable MTZ density.

Photodynamic therapy in the treatment of microbial infections: Basic principles and perspective applications Tập 38 Số 5 - Trang 468-481 - 2006
Giulio Jori, Clara Fabris, Marina Soncin, Stefania Ferro, Olimpia Coppellotti, Donata Dei, Lia Fantetti, Giacomo Chiti, Gabrio Roncucci
AbstractBackground and ObjectivesPhotodynamic therapy (PDT) appears to be
endowed with several favorable features for the treatment of infections
originated by microbial pathogens, including a broad spectrum of action, the
efficient inactivation of antibiotic‐resistant strains, the low mutagenic
potential, and the lack of selection of photoresistant microbial cells.
Therefore, intensive studies ar... hiện toàn bộ
Laser thermal therapy: Real‐time MRI‐guided and computer‐controlled procedures for metastatic brain tumors Tập 43 Số 10 - Trang 943-950 - 2011
Alexandre Carpentier, Roger J. McNichols, R. Jason Stafford, Jean‐Pierre Guichard, D Reizine, Suzette Delaloge, Éric Vicaut, Didier Payen, Ashok Gowda, Bernard George
AbstractBackground and ObjectiveWe report the final results of a pilot clinical
trial exploring the safety and feasibility of real‐time magnetic
resonance‐guided laser‐induced thermal therapy (MRgLITT) for treatment of
resistant focal metastatic intracranial tumors.Study DesignIn patients with
chemotherapy, whole‐brain radiation, and radiosurgery resistant metastatic
intracranial tumors, minimally... hiện toàn bộ
Stem cell proliferation under low intensity laser irradiation: A preliminary study Tập 40 Số 6 - Trang 433-438 - 2008
Fernanda de Paula Eduardo, Daniela Franco Bueno, Patrícia Moreira de Freitas, Márcia Martins Marques, Maria Rita Passos‐Bueno, Carlos Eduardo, Mayana Zatz
AbstractBackground and ObjectivesPhototherapy with low intensity laser
irradiation has shown to be effective in promoting the proliferation of
different cells. The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the potential
effect of laser phototherapy (660 nm) on human dental pulp stem cell (hDPSC)
proliferation.Study Design/Materials and MethodsThe hDPSC cell strain was used.

MR‐guided laser‐induced thermal therapy (LITT) for recurrent glioblastomas Tập 44 Số 5 - Trang 361-368 - 2012
Alexandre Carpentier, Dorian Chauvet, Vincent Reina, Kévin Beccaria, Delphine Leclerq, Roger J. McNichols, Ashok Gowda, Philippe Cornu, Jean‐Yves Delattre
AbstractBackground and objectiveLaser‐induced thermal therapy (LITT), coupled
with magnetic resonance thermal imaging (MRTI) guidance, provides a minimally
invasive and safe approach to treat brain tumors, especially metastases. We
report here our experience using this treatment for recurrent
glioblastomas.Materials and MethodsFour patients, from 40 to 58 years old, were
diagnosed with glioblastom... hiện toàn bộ
Initiation of apoptosis and autophagy by photodynamic therapy Tập 38 Số 5 - Trang 482-488 - 2006
David Kessel, M. Graça H. Vicente, John J. Reiners
AbstractBackground and ObjectivesThis study was designed to examine modes of
cell death after photodynamic therapy (PDT).Study DesignMurine leukemia L1210
cells and human prostate Bax‐deficient DU145 cells were examined after
PDT‐induced photodamage to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Phase contrast,
fluorescence and electron microscopy were used to identify changes in cellular
morphology, chromati... hiện toàn bộ
Transcranial application of low‐energy laser irradiation improves neurological deficits in rats following acute stroke Tập 38 Số 1 - Trang 70-73 - 2006
Luis De Taboada, Vera Celic, Sandra Leichliter‐Martha, Uri Oron, Amir Oron, Jackson Streeter
AbstractBackground and ObjectivesLow‐level laser therapy (LLLT) has been shown
to have beneficial effects on ischemic skeletal and heart muscles tissues. The
aim of the present study was to approve the effectiveness of LLLT treatment at
different locations on the brain in acute stroked rats.Study Design/Materials
and MethodsStroke was induced in 169 rats that were divided into four groups:

Anti‐Inflammatory effects of low‐level laser therapy (660 nm) in the early phase in carrageenan‐induced pleurisy in rat Tập 40 Số 7 - Trang 500-508 - 2008
Emerson Soldateli Boschi, Carlos Eduardo Leite, Vasyl Custódio Saciura, Eduardo Caberlon, Adroaldo Lunardelli, Shanna Bitencourt, Denizar Alberto da Silva Melo, Jarbas Rodrigues de Oliveira
AbstractBackground and ObjectiveIn the classic model of pleurisy there is little
evidence about the anti‐inflammatory effects of low‐level laser therapy (LLLT)
as well the dosage characteristics, such as wavelength, total energy, number and
pattern of treatment. In this study we investigated the potential effects of
LLLT on modulating the pro‐inflammatory and anti‐inflammatory mediators of acute
