Objective: We have been performing glottoplasty using angiolytic laser, including pulsed dye laser (PDL) or potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) laser, for the treatment of sulcus vocalis. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed the treatment results of sulcus vocalis patients who had undergone glottoplasty using angiolytic laser and evaluated the efficacy and safety of this surgical technique. Methods: From January 2008 to April 2016, 79 patients with sulcus vocalis who underwent angiolytic LASER-assisted glottoplasty were enrolled in the study. Results: Of the 79 patients who participated in this study, 55 were male, and 24 were female. PDL was used for glottoplasty in 68 patients, and KTP was used in the remaining 11 patients. Seventy-seven patients underwent surgery for bilateral vocal cord lesions, and only 2 patients underwent surgery for unilateral vocal cord lesion. After glottoplasty using angiolytic laser, most patients showed continuous improvement of the GRBAS (grade, roughness, breathiness, asthenia, strain) score and Voice Handicap Index score until 6 months after the operation. In addition, we observed improvement of objective voice indices such as noise to harmonic ratio, jitter, shimmer, and maximal phonation time postoperatively. Conclusions: Based on these results, we confirmed the efficacy and safety of glottoplasty using angiolytic laser in sulcus vocalis patients. Further studies are needed to confirm appropriate laser settings such as frequency of treatments and total energy delivered to the lesion. Also, multi-institutional studies are needed to confirm the efficacy and safety of the operation.

High-frequency near-infrared diode laser provides a high-peak output, low-heat accumulation, and efficient biostimulation. Although these characteristics are considered suitable for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment, the effect of high-frequency near-infrared diode laser irradiation in in vitro or in vivo OA models has not yet been reported. Therefore, we aimed to assess the biological effects of high-frequency near-infrared diode laser irradiation on IL-1β-induced chondrocyte inflammation in an in vitro OA model. Normal Human Articular Chondrocyte-Knee (NHAC-Kn) cells were stimulated with human recombinant IL-1β and irradiated with a high-frequency near-infrared diode laser (910 nm, 4 or 8 J/cm2). The mRNA and protein expression of relevant inflammation- and cartilage destruction-related proteins was analyzed. Interleukin (IL) -1β treatment significantly increased the mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) -α, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) -1, MMP-3, and MMP-13. High-frequency near-infrared diode laser irradiation significantly reduced the IL-1β-induced expression of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MMP-1, and MMP-3. Similarly, high-frequency near-infrared diode laser irradiation decreased the IL-1β-induced increase in protein expression and secreted levels of MMP-1 and MMP-3. These results highlight the therapeutic potential of high-frequency near-infrared diode laser irradiation in OA.
