氦氖激光的“针刺样”作用——激光针生物学效应的临床与实验研究

<正> 自1975年以来,低功率氦氖激光照射穴位(简称激光针)的临床报道与日俱增,但其临床与动物实验的生物学效应在国内未见系统报道。本文侧重报道应用激光针治疗近视眼等五种疾病和家兔尺桡骨双折等两组动物实验,同时采取用脑血流图,同位素磷~(82)代谢试验等七项客观指标观察激光针的生物学效应。结果发现激光针具有针刺样调整作用。激光应用TX-74-A型氦氖激光理疗机(鸡东激光仪器厂出品),波长6328输

ACUPUNCTURE-LIKE ACTION OF HYDROGENHELIUM LASER

In recent years, hydrogen-helium laser of low power has been used in medical treatment. But reports about its biological effect are rare. This paper recorded rheoencephalograms, volume pulse ways of finger and/or toe, skin temperatures, pain tolerance thresholds and two-point discrimina- tions of myopia and hypertension before and after the laser treatment. And it recorded the changes in X-ray examination, radioactive isotope ex- amination and pathological examination of ulna's and radiu's fracture of rabbits before and after laser treatment to observe the biological effect of laser acupuncture. The results were as follows: 1. Laser acupuncture could improve the organ circulation. 2. Laser acupuncture could raise the skin temperature of the body as a whole. 3. Laser acupuncture could heighten the thresholds of pain and two points discrimination. 4. Laser acupuncture might help to strengthen resistance of the bady, to relieve pain, to diminish inflammation and to improve fracture inten tion. The above results indicated that hydrogen-helium laser of low power did have acupuncture-like action. On the other hand, the impairment of spinal cord in patient and animal could impede this action. Therefore, we preliminarily suppose that acupuncture-like action of laser is accomp- lished through autonomic nerve-medium-blood vessel reaction system. As we all know, laser is a radiation of light. Besides the acupuncture-like action, laser has the action of electromagnetic induction and light-chemical reaction, which remain to be further investigated.
