[On Individualization of Therapeutic Doses of Optical Radiation according to Changes in Parameters of Blood Oxygenation].

The effect of in vivo laser irradiation by optical radiation on blood from different patients is studied. The objects of research were three series of blood samples from patients whose treatment course included extracorporeal UV blood irradiation, intravenous laser blood irradiation and supra-venous blood laser irradiation. Before and after irradiation the results on optic oximetry and gas content of venous blood were compared.

Oxygen quenching of excited singlet and triplet states of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the vapor phase.

The quenching rate constants of excited singlet (k(S)(O2)) and triplet (k(T)(O2)) states by oxygen were investigated in the vapor phase for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons having distinguishing oxidation potentials E(ox). The significant spread in the rate constants was found (4x10(5)s(-1)Torr(-1) View Article and Find Full Text PDF

Photoinduced gas-phase electron transfer reactions.

The electron transfer quenching process, when a reactive excited state is singlet or triplet, for gas-phase systems (benzophenone and anthraquinone with amines and pyridine as well as carbazole with halomethanes) was systematically investigated using time-resolved fluorescence. Bimolecular rate constants were obtained. Variable-temperature measurements were performed for eight donor-acceptor pairs.
