The objective of this review was to analyze original articles about the effects of therapy with LED in experimental models of calcaneal tendon lesions of rats. The search was performed in the period from February to May 2018, in the following electronic databases: MEDLINE, SciELO, and LILACS, besides the Google Scholar, using the descriptors “Achilles tendon”, “Rats”, “LED”, “Tendinopathy”, and “Low-level Light Therapy”, as well as their matching parts in the Portuguese and Spanish languages, related to and in association with the relevant terms to the content sought. From the descriptors used 215 works were found. After application of eligibility criteria 8 works were selected, in which positive results were found after the application of the LED. Regarding the main results found with phototherapy, we observed a significant reduction in inflammation. Only one article mentioned little reduction of inflammation. In relation to the number of sessions, there was wide variation, with an average of approximately 5 sessions every 24 hours. Studies in this review pointed out, therefore, positive results in the repair of the calcaneal tendon after therapy with irradiation LED; however, carrying out more experimental studies that help the standardization of parameters to be used in this therapy for further clinical studies becomes necessary.

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi realizar um levantamento dos principais parâmetros de aplicação da fotobiomodulação proveniente da Terapia a Laser de Baixo Intensidade (TLBI) e/ou da terapia com diodos emissores de luz (LEDT) empregada sobre a FM, além de propor sua empregabilidade clínica por meio de protocolos que apresente evidências científicas. Foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico nas bases de dados do PUBMED, utilizando as palavras-chaves disponíveis nos DESCs: “Photobiomodulation Therapy”, “PBTM”, “Low-Level Light Therapy”, “LLLT”, “Light-Emitting Diode Therapy”, LEDT”, “Phototherapy”, “Exercise”, “Fatigue”, “Performance”, “sport” em diferentes combinações e associadas aos descritores booleanos. Foram considerados os seguintes critérios de inclusão: ensaios clínicos controlados e randomizados, publicados na língua inglesa, período de publicação entre os anos 2017 a 2020. Com isso, foi feita a leitura aprofundada dos artigos e mediante a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, restaram somente dez artigos publicados. A terapia de fotobiomodulação realizada por meio da utilização da TLBI e LEDT é capaz de atrasar o processo de FM e consequentemente aumentar a performance. Contudo os parâmetros ideais de aplicação dessa ferramenta ainda continuam demostrando muitas variáveis. Exceto pelo comprimento de onda, que é o único parâmetro de aplicação que demostra uma tendência.

Abstract Objective To investigate the treatment efficacy of low-level light therapy on dentin hypersensitivity. Materials and methods Following the PRISMA guideline, six electronic databases supplemented with bibliographies were searched till December 2020. Two reviewers performed the screenings independently with a reliability assessment. Studies fulfilling the pre-registered eligibility criteria were included for risk-of-bias assessment and data synthesis. Results Thirty-five articles ultimately informed this systematic review based on the eligibility criteria and underwent risk-of-bias assessment (ĸ = 0.86). Quantitative results were deduced by meta-analysis of 20 randomised controlled trials: LLLT showed favourable outcomes compared to placebos for immediate (SMD: 1.09, 95% CI: 0.47 to 1.70), interim (SMD: 1.32, 95% CI: 0.41 to 2.23), and persistent efficacies (SMD: 2.86, 95% CI: 1.98 to 3.74). However, substantial heterogeneity existed among included studies (I2: 64–95%). Regarding comparisons with other desensitising strategies, LLLT showed no significant benefits in DH alleviation over others except fluorides for interim efficacy (SMD: 0.31, 95% CI: 0.10 to 0.52) and persistent efficacy (SMD: 0.45, 95% CI: 0.03 to 0.86). Conclusions This systematic review shows that LLLT has positive immediate, interim, and persistent DH-treatment efficacies compared with placebo. No superior treatment effects of LLLT were observed except fluoride agent use. Further studies are warranted—RCTs with low risk of bias, consistent technical settings, comprehensive assessments, and long follow-up periods. Clinical relevance This systematic review bridges a critical research gap by analysing clinical evidence in the DH-alleviating efficacy of LLLT in comparison with placebo and other in-office desensitising strategies.

The article presents the results of two full vegetation growing seasons for Svyatogor F1 cucumber plants sort in photoculture conditions. The studies were carried out on an experimental research hydroponic installation (ERHI) under photosynthetically active photon irradiance EPPFD = (250 ± 10) μmol/s·m2. In the experiment, we used phyto-irradiators (PI) with high-pressure sodium lamps (HPSL) of the DNaZ type, as well as light emitting diode (LED) phyto-irradiators of the combined spectrum. A methodological approach to photobiological research (PBR) in the artificial climate laboratory at the Ogarev Mordovia State University was developed, which allowed us to determine the effect of the radiation of the LED PI combined spectrum on the productivity of cucumber plants under photoculture conditions. On the basis of the conducted experimental studies, it was found that the quality of seedlings grown under a phyto-irradiator with a HPSL of the DNaZ type is better than under a LED PI of the combined spectrum. From the point of view of the productivity of cucumber plants of this variety, the spectrum created by the radiation of white LEDs and radiation of LEDs with peak wavelengths λ = 660 nm and λ = 730 nm turned out to be more favourable. It was revealed that radiation, acting on the photoreceptors of a plant and thus triggering cascades of physiological and biochemical processes, can cause its ambiguous reaction. The practical significance of the results obtained was shown.
