[Effect of laser radiation on a dystrophic process in the liver due to x-ray irradiation]

A stimulating effect of a helium-neon laser (in single radiation for 5 min daily) on a reparative process in the liver injured by x-ray radiation (in a single dose of 650) was studied by histological, cytophotometric and electron microscopic methods. It has been shown that after 3-20 sessions of laser therapy the architectonics of hepatic lobules regenerates, by the end of a therapeutic course a nearly complete regeneration of the intracellular structures of hepatocytes is noted. At the same time the level of nucleic acids and glycogen in the latter returns to normal.
