The feasibility of welding thin-walled microvessels by laser has been established. This report summarizes our experience using laser welding to repair thick-walled, high-pressure, 4 to 8-mm canine arteries using C02, Nd:YAG, and argon lasers. The C02 laser did not produce seals that could withstand

Previous studies have indicated that laser can selectively affect the biological functions of cells. In the present study, the role of a thermal component in laserinduced alterations in the biology of human skin fibroblasts was examined. Cells were cultured on 96-well tissue culture plates, subjecte
Fibroblasts and lymphocytes are the most widely used cells for studying the so-called biostimulative effect of low-power laser in vitro. In contrast, stimulation of cancer cells by laser light has not been investigated extensively. The present study attempted to evaluate whether or not human tumor c
The human melanoma cell line SKmel-23 has been used to investigate the sub-lethal damage that can occur as a result of exposing melanin containing cells to light (532 nm) from a frequency doubled Q-switched (Nd:YAG) laser. A dose response curve was obtained, which indicates that at energy levels of
