Application of 670 nm InGaP laser and microcurrent favors the healing of second-degree burns in Wistar rats

Abstract: The treatment of burn wounds has been a challenge due to their severity and associated multiple complications, and represents a major public health problem. This study investigated the effects of 670 nm InGaP laser irradiation and microcurrent (10 µA) stimulation on the healing of second-degree burns inflicted on the back of Wistar rats. Seventy-two animals were divided into four groups: no treatment (C); animals irradiated with a 670 nm InGaP laser (L); animals receiving microcurrent stimulation (10 µA/3 min)… Show more

“…Tissue repair is a process characterized by interrelated events, into sequential phases: inflammatory, proliferative and remodeling under the action of specific cells, cytokines and various growth factors [6]. The TGF-b1 (Transforming Growth Factor), especially released in the early stages of this process, is secreted by keratinocytes, fibroblasts and platelets, acting as chemotactic for neutrophils and monocytes at the wound site [7,8].…”

“…Chromophore located in the mitochondria seem to absorb the laser's red and infrared light triggering increased protein synthesis, ATP production, cell proliferation, and reorganization of collagen [12]. The LLLT has stood out among the many therapeutic methods [6,[13][14][15] and has demonstrated in various studies that improves tissue repair as it promotes collagen synthesis and deposition, increased vascularity, inflammation reduction, accelerating the wound remodeling. In this way, it is a promising work tool in the burn wounds therapy [1,8,[15][16][17][18][19][20].…”
