Abstract
Reactions of microvessels and mast cells to laser irradiation were studied in rat mesentery by applying the method of intravital microscopy. An ultra-violet laser (gamma=337 nm) was used. The diameter of the laser beam was changed from 2 to 100 mum. Different irradiation doses provoked either an increase of vascular permeability or thrombus formation or hemorrhage. Apart from the vascular wall injury, factors accompanying the damage of red blood cells and other cells of the blood may play a role in the process of thrombus formation. Changes of the vascular diameter and permeability after laser irradiation of mast cells are probably connected with the release of histamine and serotonin contained in them.If you're having problem loading pages
