RESUMEN
La terapia con láser de baja potencia ha demostrado tener propiedades analgésicas antiinflamatorias, bioestimulantes y promotoras de la respuesta tisular al daño. El propósito de este estudio fue determinar el efecto que el láser de baja potencia tiene sobre el hueso alveolar dañado. Se utilizaros 13 ratas Sprage Dawley, en las cuales se realizó una lesión estandarizada del hueso alveolar, posterior a lo cual una muestra aleatoria de 7 ratas fue sometida a un protocolo de irradiación de 6 J/cm2, tres veces por semana durante cuatro semanas. Las muestras obtenidas del sitio lesionado en ratas expuestas y no expuestas a la terapia fueron procesadas para hematoxilina eosina, contabilizándose el número de osteonas al microscopio óptico con aumento de 40x. Los resultados muestran un aumento en el número de osteonas en el grupo irradiado, diferencia que resultó estadísticamente significativa (p<0,01), con una alta fuerza de asociación estadística (O.R=5,6 ). Estos resultados sugieren que la terapia láser de baja potencia favorece la respuesta del hueso alveolar dañado.
The Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) has demostrated to have analgesic, antiinflamatory, bioestimulant and promoters from the tissues responses properties to the damage. The purpose of this study was determinate the Low Level Laser Therapy effect in the damaged alveolar bone. Thirteen Sprage Dawley rats were used. Total number of animals alveolar bones a standarized lesion was made, later an aleatory sample of seven rats was subjected to the irradiation protocol 6 J/cm², three times per week during four weeks. The obtained samples of the injured area, of exposed and not exposed rats to the laser therapy were processed for hematoxilin & eosin, being the osteon number count by optic microscope with increase of 40x. The result show an increase in the osteon number in the irradiated group, this differentiated was statistically significant (p<0.01), whit a high strength of statistical association (OR=5.6). These result suggest that the therapy laser of low power favors the answer of the damaged alveolar bone.

Day 9 rat embryos were exposed to 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers; nifedipine (NIF), nicardipine (NIC) or nitrendipine (NIT), for 48 hr in the whole embryo culture system. There were dose-dependent growth retardation and abnormalities, predominantly in cardiovascular system. The three compounds exhibited very similar pattern of dysmorphogenic effects, but the potency of these compounds were quantitatively different. The incidences of embryos with the abnormalities were 100%, 100% and 85% following either exposure of NIF, NIC or NIT at concentration of 300, 8 and 15 microM, respectively. This study was to investigate whether these blocker-induced embryotoxicity was due to calcium channel blocking properties themselves in the embryos. Day 9 rat embryos were co-exposed to 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium channel agonist, Bay k 8644 (BAY) and each calcium channel blocker under the same culture condition. The retarded embryonic growth induced by 200 or 300 microM of NIF, 8 microM of NIC and 15 microM of NIT nearly of completely ameliorated when embryos were co-exposed with BAY at one-third or half concentration of each calcium channel blocker. Supplementation of BAY reduced the incidence of abnormalities by NIF-, NIC- and NIT-alone. These results suggested that one of mechanisms for embryotoxicity induced by calcium channel blocker was directly related to channel blocking property of the chemicals.
