Responses Of Astrocytes In Culture After Low Dose Laser Irradiation, David T. Yew, D. R. Zheng, C. Au, W. W. Y. Li Feb 1990

Responses Of Astrocytes In Culture After Low Dose Laser Irradiation, David T. Yew, D. R. Zheng, C. Au, W. W. Y. Li

Scanning Microscopy

The effect of Helium-Neon low dose laser on astrocytes was investigated in cultures of isolated astrocytes from albino neonatal rats. The laser appeared to inhibit the growth of astrocytes as exemplified by the smaller sizes of the cells and the decreased leucine uptake in each cell after treatment. Temporary decrease in the number of mitoses was also observed, but this trend was reversed soon after. Electron microscopic studies revealed an increase in buddings from cell bodies and processes (branches) after irradiation.

Aspen Bibliography

A 16-18 year-old aspen stand was harvested in 1969. Aerial biomass components were determined and soils evaluated. Treatments of fertilizer, irrigation, fertilizer + irrigation and control were applied over a seven year period following harvest. Stand measurements were taken periodically over 18 years. Fertilization produced growth increases of 45-55 percent. Height, diameter, and stems per acre were affected by treatments. Guidelines for fertilizer application were developed from leaf tissue analysis.
