lower than the wavelength of the used radiation. They also allow detecting small
changes of structural and functional characteristics.
Taking into consideration the results of the analysis, made in Sects. 2.2.1 and
2.2.2, there appeared the interest in the study of optical characteristics of nerve
fibers by highly sensitive noninvasive contactless method of holographic interference
microscopy. Such method did not exist before, it had to be developed and adapted to
the medical and biological studies by Leonid Tanin and his colleagues.
2.2.3 Development of the Method of Laser Acupuncture
and Intravenous Blood Irradiation for Lumbar
Osteochondrosis Neurological Manifestation Treatment
Depending on the character and peculiarities of the disease, there were used different
methods with different localization of exposure: locally (on supposed lesion focus),
on the corresponding reflexogenic zone and acupuncture points. The most effective
method, according to our studies, was the method of laser acupuncture.
The development and use of absolutely new coherent-optical methods and devices
for medical diagnostics of the peripheral nervous system diseases required the
detailed study of the influence of laser, magnetic fields, pressure from 10
−4 to
hundreds of atmosphere on separate nerve cells, fibers, nerve fibers in nerve trunk,
living muscle fibers. In particular, according to literary data, low-intensive laser irradiation is successfully used as one of the phototherapy types, in biology and medicine.
Stimulating influence of low-power laser irradiation on biologically different objects
during the experiment resulted in its wide use for the treatment of different diseases
[240–243]. In the works [244, 245], we studied the influence of laser irradiation on
animals during treatments simulation—a wound, inflammatory processes, burns and
fractures.
The analysis of the works [246–248] showed that low-energy laser irradiation
under certain irradiation conditions activates physiological functions in the organism,
improves metabolism, takes vasorelaxant action, stimulates erythrogenesis, glycogen
synthesis, anagenesis and so on.
Theoretical arguments about the mechanisms of laser influence on biological
tissues are quite different. There are a lot of hypotheses, which explain light influence
and are based on the study of the characteristics of biological membranes, enzyme
system, endogenous and opioid systems and other [249–251]. The majority of the
studies has only one common thing: Radiation action of all low-power, low-intensive
laser is based on the effect of selective absorption of light energy by definite cell
structures, and as a result, biosynthesis processes are stimulated [240, 241, 252, 253].
The method of laser acupuncture for the treatment of some diseases becomes
widely spread in clinical practice. The methods of reflex therapy are used for the
treatment of allergic diseases, sharp and chronic inflammatory processes, and also
for the increase of body resistance under the influence of infections. There is a number
