A characteristic of mast cells is the degranulation in response to various stimuli. Here we have investigated the effects of various physical stimuli in the human mast-cell line HMC-1. We have shown that HMC-1 express the transient receptor potential channels TRPV1, TRPV2 and TRPV4. In the whole-cell patch-clamp configuration, increasing mechanical stress applied to the mast cell by hydrostatic...

Aromatic plants and laser beam wavelength in the red range of visible spectra (623.8 nm), most commonly used for treating plant species, were selected. As there is not much information references, it necessary to set a scale with qualitative partially quantitative evaluations results. Specimens thyme seed (Thymus vulgaris) selected as aromatic studying effect low-power lasers on development, co...

The paper presents a study of the formation holographic diffraction gratings in thin films chalcogenide glassy semiconductors. recording process at argon-laser radiation wave length 488 nm and chemical etching that enables а relief grating are analysed. optimum conditions for arsenic sulfide As2S3 defined. It is shown an argon laser exposure comes to ∼5–8 J/cm2. At stage quasi-phase (relief-pha...

Introduction: Depression is a common psychiatric disorder and about one in five people experience depression during their lifespan. Despite the anti-depressive effects of drug therapy, problems such as non-targeting and dose-resistant lead to more effective approaches. Transcranial Photobiomodulation (TPBM) or transcranial low-level laser (TLLL) therapy is a novel and neuropro...

We aim to visualize the external physical damages and distinct external phenotypic effects between mechanical and laser-assisted immobilized human spermatozoa using scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Human spermatozoa were immobilized mechanically or with laser assistance for SEM examination and the membrane integrities were checked on both types of immobilized spermatozoa. We found evidence...

In article number 2100060, Wenge Xiao, Guojun Zheng, Jianrong Qiu, and co-workers prepared far-red-emitting composite ceramics with near-unity internal quantum efficiency zero-thermal quenching via pressureless glass crystallization, where the inside light scattering is finely tuned by controlling grain growth undesired concentration alleviated to achieve strong absorption. Furthermore, a high-...

PURPOSE To test the feasibility of scanning laser densitometry with a modified Rodenstock scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) to measure the rod and cone photopigment distribution in patients with retinal diseases. METHODS Scanning laser densitometry was performed using a modified Rodenstock scanning laser ophthalmoscope. The distribution of the photopigments was calculated from dark adapted ...
