Neuropathic pain (NP) is caused by damage to the nervous system due to reactive oxygen spices (ROS) increase, antioxidants reduction, ATP production imbalance, and induction of apoptosis. In this investigation, we applied low-level laser 660 nm (photobiomodulation therapy) as a new strategy to modulate pain. In order to study the effects of photobiomodulation therapy (660 nm) on NP, chronic constriction injury (CCI) model was selected. Low-level laser of 660 nm was used for 2 weeks. Thermal and mechanical hyperalgesia were measured before and after surgery on days 7 and 14, respectively. Paw withdrawal thresholds were also evaluated. Expression of p2x3, Bax, and bcl2 protein was measured by western blotting. The amount of glutathione (GSH) was measured in the spinal cord by continuous spectrophotometric rate determination method. The results are presented as mean ± SD. Statistical analysis of data was carried out using SPSS 21. CCI decreased the pain threshold, 2-week photobiomodulation therapy significantly increased mechanical and thermal threshold, decreased P2X3 expression (p < 0.001), and increased bcl2 expression (p < 0.01), but it was not effective on the Bax expression. We speculated that although photobiomodulation therapy increased ROS generation, it increased antioxidants such as GSH. Increase in bcl2 is another mitochondrial protection mechanism for cell survival and that pain relief and decrease in P2X3 expression confirm it.

Electronic address:

A growing body of evidence supports the modulation of pain by light exposure. As such, phototherapy is being increasingly utilized for the management of a variety of pain conditions. The modes of delivery, and hence applications of phototherapy, vary by wavelength, intensity, and route of exposure. Read More

Enhancement of Wound Healing by Conditioned Medium of Adipose-Derived Stromal Cell with Photobiomodulation in Skin Wound.

Authors:
In-Su Park

Int J Stem Cells 2021 Feb 28. Epub 2021 Feb 28.

Cell Therapy Center, Ajou University School of Medicine, Suwon, Korea.

Background And Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate whether conditioned medium from photobiomodulation (PBM) irradiated adipose-derived stromal cell (ASC) spheroids prior to implanting could stimulate angiogenesis and tissue regeneration to improve functional recovery of skin tissue in an animal skin wound model.

Methods And Results: ASC were split and seeded on chitosan-coated 24 well plate at a density of 7.5×10 cells/cm, and allowed to adhere at 37°C. Read More

Fatemeh Ramezani Ali Neshasteh-Riz Alireza Ghadaksaz Seyedalireza Moghadas Fazeli Atousa Janzadeh Michael R Hamblin

Lasers Med Sci 2021 Feb 24. Epub 2021 Feb 24.

Laser Research Centre, Faculty of Health Science, University of Johannesburg, Doornfontein, 2028, South Africa.

Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) previously known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been used for over 30 years, to treat neurological diseases. Low-powered lasers are commonly used for clinical applications, although recently LEDs have become popular. Due to the growing application of this type of laser in brain and neural-related diseases, this review focuses on the mechanisms of laser action. Read More

J Biophotonics 2021 Feb 22:e202000496. Epub 2021 Feb 22.

Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of Qatar, Doha, Qatar.

The study of any intervention able to counteract SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is considerably envisaged. It was previously shown, in in vitro models of infections, that the LED blue light is able to decrease the viral load of HSV-1 and ZIKV. In our study, LED photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) at blue wavelengths (450, 454 and 470 nm) was tested in an in vitro model of SARS-CoV-2 infection, employing 3 experimental settings: SARS-CoV-2 was irradiated and then transferred to cells; already infected cells were irradiated; cells were irradiated prior to infection.

Nanotechnology 2021 Feb 22. Epub 2021 Feb 22.

Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences - Institute of Physics, Al Lotnikow 32/46, 02-668 Warsaw, Warsaw, POLAND.

In this work we adapt rare earth ions doped NaYF4 nanoparticles coated by silicon oxide shell (NaYF4:20%Yb,0.2%Tm@SiO2) for biological and medical applications (for example: imaging of cancer cells and therapy at the nano-dimension). Wide upconversion emission range under 980 nm excitation allows to use the nanoparticles for the cancer cells (4T1) photodynamic therapy (PDT) without any photosensitizer. Read More
