THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NARROW BAND INFRARED BEAM ON PRIMARY WOUND HEALING

This experimental study was planned to explore the effectiveness of infrared beam on primary wound healing in rats. The healing of incisional wound was studied by the mean of the scala of histologic analyses and wounds strength breaking off in both experiment and control groups. The biomechanical study was done between experimental and control groups starting from first post operative three days, seven days and from the third post operative day for continuous seven days, where one session of 10 minutes duration of infrared radiation was performed daily. There was no significant statistical difference in the biomechanical study between the above mentioned groups (p < 0.001). But the tissue healing was noticed to be quicker in the experimental group than the control group. Healing of the wound was also correlated between the two groups, and showed a significant difference(p>0.05). In the histopathologic analyse it is also observed that the tissue healing is speeded up according to the experimental and control groups.

DAR BANTLI ÝNFRARUJ IÞINININ PRÝMER YARA ÝYÝLEÞMESÝNE ETKÝSÝ

Çalýþmamýz, sýçanlarda infraruj ýþýnýnýn primer yara iyileþmesine etkisini araþtýrmak amacýyla planlanmýþtýr. Deney ve kontrol grubundaki sýçanlarda oluþturulan insizyonel yaranýn iyileþmesi, histolojik analiz skalasý ve yaranýn kopma kuvveti yöntemi ile incelenmiþtir. Post-operatif ilk 3 gün, ilk 7 gün ve post-operatif 3. günden sonra baþlamak suretiyle 7 gün boyunca, günde bir seans ve 10 dakika süreyle uygulanan infraruj ýþýný sonrasýnda deney ve kontrol gruplarý arasýnda biomekanik inceleme sonucunda yaranýn kopma kuvveti açýsýndan istatistiksel fark bulunmazken (p > 0.05), deney ve kontrol gruplarýnýn kendi aralarýndaki kýyaslamada yara iyileþmesi yönünden ileri düzeyde anlamlý fark bulunmuþtur(p<0.001). Ayrýca histopatolojik inceleme sonucunda, deney grubunda kontrol grubuna göre doku tamirinin hýzlandýðý görülmüþtür.
