[Neutrophil and macrophage functional activity during the irradiation of an intestinal anastomosis with a low-intensity laser in the infrared spectral range].

The influence of different methods of treatment of intestinal anastomosis in rabbits (group 1: common single-row sutures; group 2: sutures treated with cyanacrylate glue CO-4; group 3: low-intensity laser irradiation through the skin in the infrared spectral range) on the phagocytic and oxidase activity of cells in the peritoneal washings and peripheral blood on days 2, 4 and 7 after the operation was studied. Laser irradiation of the suture was shown to produce a stimulating effect on the macrophagal-phagocytic system of the blood. The oxidase activity of phagocytes in peritoneal washings in the group of animals subjected to laser irradiation was considerably lower than in two other groups.
