Evaluation of bone healing following Er:YAG laser ablation in rat calvaria compared with bur drilling

The Er:YAG laser is currently used for bone ablation. However, the effect of Er:YAG laser irradiation on bone healing remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate bone healing following ablation by laser irradiation as compared with bur drilling. Rat calvarial bone was ablated using Er:YAG laser or bur with water coolant. Er:YAG laser effectively ablated bone without major thermal changes. In vivo micro‐computed tomography analysis revealed that laser irradiation showed significantly higher bone repair ratios than bur drilling. Scanning electron microscope analysis showed more fibrin deposition on laser‐ablated bone surfaces. Microarray analysis followed by gene set enrichment analysis revealed that IL6/JAK/STAT3 signaling and inflammatory response gene sets were enriched in bur‐drilled bone at 6 hours, whereas the E2F targets gene set was enriched in laser‐irradiated bone. Additionally, Hspa1a and Dmp1 expressions were increased and Sost expression was decreased in laser‐irradiated bone compared with bur‐drilled bone. In granulation tissue formed after laser ablation, Alpl and Gblap expressions increased compared to bur‐drilled site. Immunohistochemistry showed that osteocalcin‐positive area was increased in the laser‐ablated site. These results suggest that Er:YAG laser might accelerate early new bone formation with advantageous surface changes and cellular responses for wound healing, compared with bur‐drilling.

Biological effects of Er:YAG laser irradiation on the proliferation of primary human gingival fibroblasts

We investigated the biological effects of Er:YAG laser (2940‐nm; DELight, HOYA ConBio, Fremont, California) irradiation at fluences of 3.6, 4.2, 4.9, 6.3, 8.1 or 9.7 J cm^?2 at 20 or 30 Hz for 20 or 30 seconds on primary human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs). Irradiation at 6.3 J cm^?2 promoted maximal cell proliferation, determined by WST‐8 assay and crystal violet staining, but was accompanied by lactate dehydrogenase release, on day 3 post‐irradiation. Elevation of ATP level, Ki67 staining, and cyclin‐A2 mRNA expression confirmed that Er:YAG affected the cell cycle and increased the number of proliferating cells. Transmission electron microscopy showed alterations of mitochondria and ribosomal endoplasmic reticulum (ER) at 3 hours post‐irradiation at 6.3 J cm^?2, and the changes subsided after 24 hours, suggesting transient cellular injury. Microarray analysis revealed up‐regulation of 21 genes involved in heat‐related biological responses and ER‐associated degradation. The mRNA expression of heat shock protein 70 family was increased, as validated by Real‐time PCR. Surface temperature measurement confirmed that 6.3 J cm^?2 generated heat (40.9°C post‐irradiation). Treatment with 40°C‐warmed medium increased proliferation. Laser‐induced proliferation was suppressed by inhibition of thermosensory transient receptor potential channels. Thus, despite causing transient cellular damage, Er:YAG laser irradiation at 6.3 J cm^?2 strongly potentiated HGF proliferation via photo‐thermal stress, suggesting potential wound‐healing benefit.

Bactericidal action of high-power Nd:YAG laser light on Escherichia coli in saline suspension

Infra-red light (1064 nm) from a high-power Nd:YAG laser caused more than 90% loss of viability of Escherichia coli during exposures that raised the temperature of PBS suspensions of the bacteria to 50 C in a thermocouple-equipped cuvette. In contrast, there was minimal loss of viability after heating the same suspensions to 50 degrees C in a water-bath, or in a PCR thermal cycler. The mechanism of laser killing at 50 degrees C was explored by differential scanning calorimetry, by laser treatment of transparent and turbid bacterial suspensions, and by optical absorbency studies of E. coli suspensions at 1064 nm. Taken together, the data suggested that the bactericidal action of Nd:YAG laser light at 50 degrees C was due partly to thermal heating and partly to an additional, as yet undefined, mechanism. Scanning electron microscopy revealed localized areas of surface damage on laser-exposed E. coli cells.

Laser power dependence of mechanoluminescence in metals

Mechanoluminescence (ML) glow is produced on the back side when the front of a metal sample is irradiated with infrared Nd:YAG laser pulses. An incident laser beam with a power density below the plasma‐flare onset threshold causes a rise in temperature in the studied metal. As the incident laser power density increases, the intensity of the ML glow signal also increases. On the basis of the laser power density‐induced temperature, an expression is derived for the temperature‐induced thermal stress. An expression is derived for the correlation between thermal stress and laser power density, which indicates that the temperature‐induced thermal stress is directly related to the incident laser power density. In the region of plastic deformation, temperature‐induced thermal stress is related to the strain and, consequently, to the emitted ML intensity. Finally, an expression is derived for the laser power dependence of the ML intensity, and good agreement is found between the theoretical and experimental results.

Low level laser therapy induces increased viability and proliferation in isolated cancer cells

Objectives

Low level laser therapy (LLLT), which stimulates natural biological processes in the application region, is frequently used in dental treatments. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of LLLT which could activate precancerous cells or increase existing cancerous tissue in case of clinically undetectable situations.

Materials and methods

Saos‐2 osteoblast‐like osteosarcoma cells and A549 human lung carcinoma cells were used. Twenty‐four hours after preparation of cell culture plates, laser irradiation was performed 1, 2 and 3 times according to the test groups using Nd:YAG laser with the power output 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 W. Cell proliferation analysis was performed by MTT assay at the 24th hour following the last laser applications.

Results

Generally, it was observed that the proliferation rates increased as the number of applications increased, when compared to the controls, especially in those cases in which the irradiation was performed 2 or 3 times more.

Conclusion

The findings of this study have led to the conclusion that LLLT increases cancer cell proliferation, depending on the power output level of the laser and the number of applications. In addition to the proliferation and mitotic activity of the cancer tissue cells, we concluded that LLLT, which is frequently used in dental practice, could activate precancerous cells or increase existing cancerous tissue.

Defining Health‐Related Obesity in Prepubertal Children

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop percentage of fat and waist circumference cut‐points in prepubertal children with the intention of defining obesity associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Research Methods and Procedures: A cross‐sectional analysis of 87 prepubertal children aged 4 to 11 years was used. Percentage of body fat was determined by DXA. Waist circumference was measured to the nearest millimeter. Receiver Operating Characteristic analyses of percentage of fat and waist circumference were used to develop cut‐points for individuals with adverse levels of CVD risk factors. Results: The risk factors selected for analyses (i.e., fasting insulin, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol/high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol) were significantly related to percentage of body fat and waist circumference. Likelihood ratios were used to identify percentage of fat and waist circumference cut‐points associated with adverse cardiovascular risk profiles. Two cut‐points, an upper cut‐point of 33% body fat and a lower cut‐point of 20% body fat, were derived. Waist circumference cut‐points indicative of adverse and normal risk‐factor profiles were 71 cm and 61 cm, respectively. Discussion: The data indicate that children with ≥33% body fat and children with a waist circumference ≥71 cm were more likely to possess an adverse CVD risk‐factor profile than a normal risk‐factor profile. The likelihood of children with <20% body fat or a waist circumference <61 cm possessing an adverse CVD risk‐factor profile as opposed to a normal risk‐factor profile was small. The cut‐points describe an adequate health‐related definition of childhood obesity.

Characterization of laser produced plasma using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy

The plasma parameter studies of the Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet, Nd:Y₃Al₁₅O₁₂) crystal by using the fundamental (1064 nm) and second (532 nm) harmonics of Nd:YAG laser are reported. The electron temperature (T _e ) and electron number density (N _e) were determined using the Boltzmann plot method and the Stark-broadened line profile, respectively. An increase in the plasma parameters have been observed with an increase in the laser irradiance for both laser modes. The electron temperatures were calculated in the range of 0.53–0.66 eV for 1064 nm and 0.47–0.60 eV for 532 nm, and the electron number densities were determined in the range of 7.43 × 10¹⁵–3.27 × 10¹⁶ cm^?3 for 1064 nm and 1.35 × 10¹⁶–3.97 × 10¹⁶ cm^?3 for 532 nm in the studied irradiance range of 1.19–12.5 GW/cm². However, the spatial evolution of the plasma parameters investigated up to 2.75 mm away from the target surface at a fixed laser irradiance of 6.51 GW/cm2 showed a decreasing trend. In addition, the estimated values of the inverse bremsstrahlung (IB) absorption coefficients at both laser wavelengths showed that the IB process is dominant for the 1064-nm laser.     

Wavelength dependence of cell cloning efficiency after optical trapping.

A study on clonal growth in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells was conducted after exposure to optical trapping wavelengths using Nd:YAG (1064 nm) and tunable titanium-sapphire (700-990 nm) laser microbeam optical traps. The nuclei of cells were exposed to optical trapping forces at various wavelengths, power densities, and durations of exposure. Clonal growth generally decreased as the power density and the duration of laser exposure increased. A wavelength dependence of clonal growth was observed, with maximum clonability at 950-990 nm and least clonability at 740-760 nm and 900 nm. Moreover, the most commonly used trapping wavelength, 1064 nm from the Nd:YAG laser, strongly reduced clonability, depending upon the power density and exposure time. The present study demonstrates that a variety of optical parameters must be considered when applying optical traps to the study of biological problems, especially when survival and viability are important factors. The ability of the optical trap to alter either the structure or biochemistry of the process being probed with the trapping beam must be seriously considered when interpreting experimental results.     

The Sex and Race Specific Relationship between Anthropometry and Body Fat Composition Determined from Computed Tomography: Evidence from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Background

Few studies have investigated the relationship of anthropometric measurements with computed tomography (CT) body fat composition, and even fewer determined if these relationships differ by sex and race.

Methods

CT scans from 1,851 participants in the population based Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis were assessed for visceral and subcutaneous fat areas by semi-automated segmentation of body compartments. Regression models were used to investigate relationships for anthropometry with visceral and subcutaneous fat separately by sex and race/ethnicity.

Results

Participants were 50% female, 41% Caucasian, 13% Asian, 21% African American, and 25% Hispanic. For visceral fat, the positive relationship with weight (p = 0.028), waist circumference (p<0.001), waist to hip ratio (p<0.001), and waist to height ratio (p = 0.05) differed by sex, with a steeper slope for men. That is, across the range of these anthropometric measures the rise in visceral fat is faster for men than for women. Additionally, there were differences by race/ethnicity in the relationship with height (p<0.001), weight (p<0.001), waist circumference (p<0.001), hip circumference (p = 0.006), and waist to hip ratio (p = 0.001) with the Hispanic group having shallower slopes. For subcutaneous fat, interaction by sex was found for all anthropometric indices at p<0.05, but not for race/ethnicity.

Conclusion

The relationship between anthropometry and underlying adiposity differs by sex and race/ethnicity. When anthropometry is used as a proxy for visceral fat in research, sex-specific models should be used.
