Effects of amber LED on inflammatory and regulatory monocytes and lymphocytes.

The primary objective of the present study was to assess the impact of amber LED photobiomodulation (PBM) on human monocytes and lymphocytes that were polarized into proinflammatory and regulatory/reparative phenotypes. Human leukocytes were polarized with LPS or LPS + IL-4 for 2 h and irradiated after 2 and 6 h with amber LED (590 nm). Cell absorbance spectrum and gene and protein expression of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, TNF-α and IFNγ determined after 24 h.

Effects of the invasive and non-invasive systemic photobiomodulation using low-level laser in experimental models: A systematic review.

Systemic photobiomodulation (PBM) of the blood or over blood vessels has been associated with bio-stimulating, vasodilating, and anti-inflammatory properties. This treatment modality has been used for modulating inflammatory processes, tissue repair, atherosclerosis, and systemic arterial hypertension, and is described more often in clinical studies than experimental models. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to conduct a literature review regarding the effect of systemic PBM involving the intravascular laser irradiation of blood (ILIB) or non-invasive vascular photobiomodulation (VPBM) using low-level laser (LLL) in experimental (animal) models.

Photobiomodulation increases uprighting tooth movement and modulates IL-1β expression during orthodontically bone remodeling.

This study investigated the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) in acceleration of orthodontic movement of inferior molar uprighting movement. Thirty-four individuals, with indication of molar uprighting movement for oral rehabilitation, were randomly divided in two groups: verticalization + PBM (808 nm, 100 mW, 1 J per point, 10 points and 25 J/cm ) or verticalization + PBM simulation. Elastomeric chain ligatures were changed every 30 days for 3 months.

Vascular photobiomodulation increases muscle fiber diameter and improves the gait during compensatory hypertrophy of plantar muscle in rats.

The local photobiomodulation (LPBM) has demonstrated positive effects during compensatory hypertrophy (CH) in skeletal muscle as a response to an overload. The aim was to compare the effects of the transcutaneous vascular photobiomodulation (VPBM) and the LPBM on muscle fiber size, gait functionality, and on mechanical sensitivity during the CH model in rats. VPBM was administered over the rat's main tail vein and LPBM was applied over the plantar muscle region.
