Evaluation of the bactericidal effect of electromagnetic radiation against purulent-inflammatory skin diseases in an experiment

For modern medicine and veterinary science, it is important to create new methods to heal purulent wounds and burns with high bactericidal activity. The experiment involved 28 rabbits at the age of two-three months divided into two groups. In the experimental group (n=14), wounds were treated with local electromagnetic radiation using the device “TOP” three times a day every day. In the control group (n=14), purulent and burn wounds were treated with 0.9 % saline solution two times a day every day. After wound modeling, the size of animals was measured daily using the planimetric method. The bacteriologic culture technique was also applied every day. The duration of the experiment was 14 days. Statistical processing of the data was carried out by the SPSS 17.0 program. From day 5, the experimental group demonstrated the wound healing rate statistically significantly higher (p<0.05). Different staphylococcus cultures were absent in the bacteriologic cultures of the experimental group on day 14, whereas in the control group they were found in 12 (85.7 %) animals. Along with the increasing rate of proteus destruction on the wound surface, burn wounds healed faster in the experimental group (p<0.05). In the test group of animals, Pseudomonas aegyposa was eliminated at day10 in 10 (71.4 %) animals. At the same time, we identified a positive correlation between the rate of wound healing and the degree of destruction of this microorganism. Against the normal reactivity of the macroorganism, the mechanism of the wound-healing effect of electromagnetic radiation consists in the creation of sterile conditions on the surface of purulent wounds and burns.
