“…2 We have shown that, for the first 30-60 min after a local exposure of the volunteers' body surface to polychromatic visible and IR polarized (VIP) light (480-3400 nm) at a therapeutic dose, changes develop in the structural and functional state of all types of peripheral blood cells; the plasma growth factor level rises and, as a consequence, plasma mitogenic (growth-promoting) activity for lymphocytes, keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and endotheliocytes increases. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The above changes are also recorded after direct irradiation of blood samples of the same volunteers in vitro and after mixing the irradiated blood with a much greater volume of nonirradiated autologous blood, which simulates events in the systemic circulation after a local irradiation of the body's surface. Such similarity has allowed us to conclude that the systemic effects developed after exposure to light can be a consequence of transcutaneous photomodification of small amounts of blood and the action of photomodified blood on its entire circulating volume.…”

Exposure of a small area of the human body to light leads to a fast decrease in the elevated pro-inflammatory cytokine plasma content and to an increase in the the anti-inflammatory factor concentration, which may be an important mechanism of the anti-inflammatory effect of phototherapy. These changes result from transcutaneous photomodification of a small volume of blood and a fast transfer of the light-induced changes to the entire pool of circulating blood.

“…Physicians have found that illumination of burns (1, 2) and wounds (3, 4) with PL accelerated their healing, and eczema psoriasis ceased after exposure to PL (5). There are also some reports on a positive effect of PL upon biostimulation in human organism (6 − 8). Other effects of PL on the biology of living systems have also been described (9, 10).…”

The 1-to 2-h illumination of xylanase with visible polarized light (PL) prior to the action of that enzyme upon beechwood xylan significantly increased its activity. The activity only negligibly decreased on 3 months storage. The hydrolysis of xylan proceeded in three well-distinguished stages. In the first and fastest stage the effect of illumination was only slightly positive. The effect of the stimulation was noted in the second, slower stage. Enzyme stimulated with PL, preferably by means of the 2-h illumination, performed better than enzyme stimulated with nonpolarized light and non-stimulated enzyme. In the last, the slowest stage, the rates of the reaction were nearly the same using either stimulated or non-stimulated enzyme. IntroductionRecent increase in interest is noted in various modes of applications of polarized light (PL). Physicians have found that illumination of burns (1, 2) and wounds (3, 4) with PL accelerated their healing, and eczema psoriasis ceased after exposure to PL (5). There are also some reports on a positive effect of PL upon biostimulation in human organism (6-8).Other effects of PL on the biology of living systems have also been described (9, 10).Polarized light also influences living processes in flora. Navez and Rubenstein (11) found that PL influences the hydrolysis of starch, an effect that was associated with the activation of hydrolases. Semmens (12), who observed the effect of moonlight upon starch hydrolysis, has interpreted that observation in terms of the polarized nature of moonlight.Recently, the stimulating role of white, linearly polarized light upon all R-amylase in starch R-amylolysis (13), chitosanase and chitinase in the degradation of chitosan and chitin, respectively (14), cellulase in the hydrolysis of cellulose (15), glucosyltransferase in the production of cyclodextrins (16, 17), and the modification of the physicochemical properties of cellulose (17, 18) has been demonstrated. In this paper an extension of the application of white, linearly polarized light for stimulation of xylanase on the degradation of xylan is presented.Xylan was selected for the study because it is one of the most abundant polysaccharides in nature. It consists mainly of linear chains of D-xylosyl residues (19). Hydrolysis of xylan involves two major types of enzymes: endo-1,4--xylanases and -xylosidases. Endoxylanases split nonselectively -1,4-linkages between xylosyl residues in the xylan chains, whereas -xylosidases release xylosyl residues only from the non-reducing ends (20). Complete breakdown of such complex structure as xylan requires additional involvement of a number of debranching enzymes, i.e., acetylxylan esterase, R-L-arabinofuranosidase, and R-glucuronidase (21), all removing xylan substituents.In recent years, xylanases attracted attention due to their application in the food, fodder, and pulp industries (22, 23). The pulp industry produces carcinogenic chlorinated phenolics released into the environment on the use of chemical bleaching agents. Pretreatment of pulp w...

“…Medical cases being treated with polarized light include severe second degree burns (1,2), wound healing (3), leg ulcers, psoriasis, egzema (4,5), as well as cosmetic applications for fine lines and coarse pores on the face. The illumination of skin with polarized light led to the improvement of immunological response of blood (6). The biostimulating action of low-energy laser light, which is widely used in medicine, could be attributed to the polarization of laser light (7).…”

The R-amylolysis of potato, corn, waxy corn, and amaranthus starches with porcine pancreatic R-amylase upon illumination with visible polarized and nonpolarized light was studied. Samples were illuminated for 1 h either directly after blending the enzyme with starch or the enzyme solutions were illuminated for 1 h prior to the admixture of starch. Independently of the mode of illumination, no significant change in the hydrolysis kinetics was noted for corn, waxy corn, and amaranthus starches. The illumination of potato starch in the presence of R-amylase with polarized and nonpolarized light significantly accelerated the hydrolysis. In the first 5-h step the hydrolysis rate increased from 12.0 to 60.0 g kg -1 h -1 . Preillumination of enzyme in solution resulted in an increase in the rate of hydrolysis to 151.6 and 131.4 g kg -1 h -1 after illumination with polarized and nonpolarized light, respectively. Circular dichroism spectra of R-amylase solutions stored in the dark and illuminated with visible polarized and nonpolarized light provided evaluation of the protein conformation, whereas exposure of enzyme solutions to the nonpolarized did not change the secondary structure of the protein. The illumination of the R-amylase solutions with polarized light significantly changed the amounts of R-helix and β-form vs unilluminated samples: 42.3% and 25.5% vs 36.6% and 30.2%, respectively.
