Incoherent polarized light in treatment of purulent wounds in pigs

Abstract

The treatment of wounds in surgery is one of the important problems that must be solved taking into account animal species, its general condition, the stage of the wound process, and also the type of wound. The aim of our research was to study the effectiveness of incoherent polarized light, the source of which is the Bioptron lamp, in combination with other medicines, in the treatment of purulent wounds in pigs and to monitor changes in their blood composition. The studies were carried out on large white pigs who were diagnosed with occasional purulent wounds of soft tissues in different parts of the body in the conditions of LLC “SPhU AGRO” in the village of Grozino, Korosten district of Zhytomyr region. A total of 675 pigs were examined .There were found 11 animals with purulent wounds out of which an experimental and control groups were formed and appropriate treatment regimens were prescribed. It was found that after applying the treatment regimen, which consisted of the use of incoherent polarized light, the source of which is the “Bioptron” lamp, gauze drainage with methyrulacil ointment and Nitacid ointment, as well as intramuscular injections of amoxicillin, the purulent wounds in the experimental pigs completely healed on average by Day 16-17, and in the control, where the traditional method of treatment was used (surgical treatment of the wound, drainage from a 3% of boric acid, 10 % Catosal, 5 % synthomycin emulsion; muscularly 15 % amoksikel), complete healing was observed on the 19-20th day. We attribute more rapid wound healing in observed animals with wound healing activity of Nitacid ointment in combination with irradiation by incoherent polarized light. Changes were found in pigs' blood tests on purulent wounds, in comparison with healthy animals, except: decrease in hemoglobin, erythropenia leukocytosis, significant increase in erythrocyte sedimentation and also decease in biochemical idicators. The use of medicinal treatment and physiotherapeutic procedures are needed to shorten the healing of purulent wounds in pigs. Further research will focus on the use of incoherent polarized light, radiated by the “Bioptron” lamp for the surgical pathology of animals. Key words: incoherent polarized light, “Bioptron” lamp, purulent wounds, pigs, wounds healing, blood.
