Staphylococcus aureus is a major pathogen that causes clinical infections in humans and can also cause massively colonized in lesion skin, particularly in atopic dermatitis patients. This study investigated the effects of photodynamic inactivation with radachlorin and diode laser irradiation on the viability of S. aureus in vitro and assessed the effects of the dose of laser transmission. In the PDI group, 5 𝜇L of S. aureus suspension and 5 𝜇L of radachlorin were inoculated in a 55 mm petri dish (63.6 cm²). The samples were placed in a 37° incubator for 30 min and then irradiated with light (660 nm diode laser). After laser irradiation, the cells were stored for 24 h at 37° in an incubator with 5% CO2, and the number of colonies was counted. All CFU/mL of S. aureus were reduced by diode laser in the presence of radachlorin, with a killing rate of 87.9% at an energy dose of 9 J/cm². This study contribute to treat colonized with S. aureus in atopic dermatitis patients and wound infections by providing information on the optimal dose of laser transmission using PDI to eliminate S. aureus.

신경손상에 마치는 저출력 적외선 레이저의 효과를 백서의 좌골신경을 이용하여 조직학적으로 살펴 본 결과를 아래와 같이 요약한다. 1) 동일개체에서 레이저 치료군과 비치료군 사이에 뚜렷한 조직학적 차이는 발견할 수 없었다. 2) 레이저 치료군에서는 조직의 구조(tissue organization)가 비교적 잘 보존되어 있었으며, 혈관의 증식은 비치료군에 비해 풍부하였다. 3) 레이저 치료군과 비치료군의 좌골신경 지배 근육조직 소견에서 뚜렷한 차이는 발견할 수 없었으며, 양군 모두에서 부분적인 근육위축 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 4) 레이저 치료군에서는 비치료군에 비해 신경외막(epineurium)의 비후가 뚜렷하였다.

혈류량은 자외선 조사량 증가에 비례하여 증가되는 양상을 보였다. 홍반을 유발하는데 필요한 자외선량(MED)의 차이가 혈류량의 변화와 어떠한 관계가 있는지를 알아본 실험에서, MED가 30 mJ로 비교적 낮았던 피험자들의 경우, 혈류량은 MED를 지나서 급격하게 증가되는 양상을 관찰하였으나 30 mJ 이상에서 MED가 관찰되었던 피험자들의 경우에는 자외선 조사에 따른 혈류량의 변화가 급격한 변화 없이 계속 완만하게 증가되는 양상을 보였다.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the analgesic effect of a single application of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on spontaneous pain and pain on chewing after placement of initial archwires. Methods: Forty-two patients (26 women, 16 men) were randomly recruited for this split-mouth randomized clinical trial. Each patient received super-elastic nickel-titanium (NiTi) initial archwires (0.012, 0.014, 0.016, and 0.018-inch [in]) in the maxilla for leveling and alignment for an interval of 4 weeks between archwires. One side of the mouth was randomly designated as experimental, while the other side served as placebo. After insertion of each archwire, the experimental side was irradiated with a diode laser for 3 seconds each on 5 points facially and palatally per tooth, from the central incisor to first molar. On the placebo side, the laser device was held the same way but without laser application. A numerical rating scale was used to assess the intensity of spontaneous and masticatory pain for the following 7 days. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare pain scores between sides. Results: Patients in the LLLT group exhibited significantly lower mean scores for spontaneous pain after insertion of the initial two archwires (0.012-in and 0.014-in NiTi; p < 0.05), while there was no significant difference for 0.016-in and 0.018-in wires between the LLLT and placebo groups. LLLT significantly reduced chewing pain scores (p < 0.05) for all archwires. Conclusions: A single dose of LLLT considerably lessened postoperative pain accompanying the placement of super-elastic NiTi wires for initial alignment and leveling.

Treatment with low-dose follicle-stimulating hormone and laparoscopic laser vaporization is associated with a high rate of ovulation in anovulatory women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), but it is not clear which is better. We undertook a randomized controlled study to compare the effects of urinary FSH and hMG using a low dose regimen and laparoscopic laser vaporization of ovaries in sixty women with PCOS. Ovulation occured in 65% subjects and in 71.1% of cycles induced with FSH and in 70% of women and 76% of cycles of those treated with hMG and in 80% of women in laparoscopic laser vaporization of ovaries. A single dominant follicle developed in 62.2% (FSH) and 60% (hMG) of cycles, respectively. Eight singleton pregnancies occured in FSH, hMG group and 12 singleton pregnancies occured in laparoscopic laser vaporization. This study shows that selected patients with PCOS and by induced to ovulate and subsequently conceive by laparoscopically partially vaporizing their ovaries with laser energy.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to measure the dose distribution of Photodynamic therapy(PDT) laser with 635 nm wavelength using GafChromic film. Method & Result: We made each output 300 J by changing mW and sec using the laser beam radiation mode such as C.W(Continuous Wave) mode, Pulse mode and Burst Pulse mode and measured the does at 0 mm and 5 mm of distance from optic fiber catheter end to the film, and at 5 mm distance by changing the angle of the end of the optic fiber catheter as $0^{\circ}$ and $0.5^{\circ}$. The radiated film was scanned and OD(Optical Density) was compared. And two-dimensional isodose curves were obtained and the consistency of shapes was compared. It was confirmed that there was consistency between optic density and the dose radiated on the film when we radiated GafChromic film by changing distance and angle of 300 J output in each radiation mode coordinating mW and sec. Conclusion: In this study, we could identify the stability according to changes in laser beam modes, changes in output according to distance, changes in uniformity according to angle, and beam profiles using GafChromic film, and we could also get two-dimensional isodose curve. It was found that small change in the distance and angle that is made when optic fiber catheter was contacted on the treatment area did not make big effects on the output of beam and the uniformity of dose, and it was also found that GafChromic film could be utilized for the purpose of QA of PDT laser beam.

Low-level laser therapy including laser acupuncture has been widely used for non-specific chronic low back pain in primary Korean medical clinics. However, there is no critically appraised data regarding which treatment conditions are most effective. A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine effective treatment conditions using 12 databases (PubMed, Ovid, CENTRAL, KoreaMed, KMBASE, KISS, NDSL, KISTI, OASIS, CNKI, CiNII, and J-STAGE). There were 1,019 studies retrieved and 13 studies included in this review. It was determined that when the power output was ≥ 50 mW, the beam size was increased to ≥ cm², the energy dose was increased to ≥ 4 J per point, the treatment interval was increased to ≥ 3 times a week, and the number of treatment sessions was increased to ≥ 10 treatments, these conditions appeared to increased treatment effectiveness.

본 논문에서는 격자 공정 중에 KrF 엑시머 UV 레이저 노출시간에 따른 광섬유 브래그 격자의 $Co^{60}$ 감마방사선 영향을 연구하였다. 광섬유 브래그 격자는 게르마늄이 첨가된 일반 광섬유를 이용하였으며, UV KrF 엑시머 레이저 노출시간(30, 60, 90, 120초)을 달리하여 제작하였다. 제작된 광섬유 브래그 격자에 106 Gy/min 선량률로 총 선량 34.3 kGy 감마선을 조사한 후 방사선에 의한 온도감도 계수와 브래그 파장 변화를 분석하였다. 실험결과를 통하여, 격자 공정을 위한 UV 레이저 노출시간이 광섬유 브래그 격자의 방사선 민감도에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 레이저 노출조건 변화에 따른 방사선에 의한 광섬유 브래그 파장의 변화는 최대 50 % 이상의 차이를 보였다.

The purpose of this study were to determined the effect of laser irradiation on the fibroblast activity. Cultures of 3T3 fibroblasts were subjected to Helium Neon laser(632.8 nm) irradiation of various energy density. On one, two and three consecutive days the fibroblast monolayers wert irradiated for period from 0 to 32 minutes with 8 mW of average output power. The fibroblast activity was determined by the quantitative assay of MTT, SRB and NR after incubation of the fibroblasts for 24 hours. Results show that exposure duration from 2 min to 32 min could increase MTT at three consecutive days, whereas control and 1 min, one and two days irradiation had were not inclosed. The SRB and NR were inclosed at two and three consecutive days from 2 min to 32 min, whereas control and 1 min, and once radiation were not increased. These result demonstrate that energy density from 0.48 to 7.64 J/cm could increase cellular protein contents and fibroblast activity at more than twice irradiation of laser, whereas low energy density (less than 0.24 J/m) and once irradiation of laser had no effect. The results suggest that the beneficial effect of the He-Ne laser with adequate dose on fibroblast activity in vitro.
