Abstract: This article contains information on principle of operation, technical parameters and possible application of Orbita {transliteration from Russian} apparatus for hemodynamic, fibrinolytic and peripheral perfusion disorders treatment. A single exposure to terahertz waves emitted by Orbita apparatus, corresponding to frequencies of molecular absorption and emission spectra of atmospheric oxygen (129.0 GHz), completely cures coagulant and fibrinolytic disorders of animals with acute immobilization stress. A course of treatment with electromagnetic waves corresponding to frequencies of molecular absorption and emission spectra of nitrogen oxide (150.176 - 150.664) leads to normalization of disrupted peripheral tissue perfusion parameters of animal undergoing treatment and stimulates basal and induced output of nitrogen oxide. This leads to decrease in peripheral vascular resistance to microcirculation and increase in blood flow to microvasculature. Experimental data provided in this article serves as a proof of viability of Orbita apparatus for treatment of coagulant, fibrinolytic and tissue perfusion disorders.

Introduction
Nowadays, development of new drug-free methods of hemodynamic disorder treatment is a subject of intense study. One of such methods is application of low-intensive millimeter and submillimeter radiation [1-4].
In recent years, a new branch of information therapy has emerged - terahertz therapy [5]. Terahertz frequency band makes for an interesting research subject because molecular absorption and emission spectra (MAES) of various cell metabolites (NO, CO, active forms of oxygen etc.) belong to this band [6].
Our experimental studies resulted in creation of Orbita {transliteration from Russian} apparatus whose principle of operation is based on application of terahertz electromagnetic waves, corresponding to frequencies of molecular absorption and emission spectra of nitrogen oxide (150.176 - 150.664 GHz) and atmospheric oxygen (129.0 GHz) [7], emitted by special terahertz wave generators created for the first time.
There is evidence of positive effect of the said frequencies energy deposition on rheological properties of blood and platelet functional activity [8, 9], coagulant and fibrinolytic activity [10], blood gas and electrolyte concentration [11], lipid peroxidation
and antioxidative activity [12, 13], functional status of thyroid body [14], primary indices of metabolic status [15], concentration of adrenocorticotropic hormone in blood [16], receptor system of formed blood elements [17], state of vascular endothelium [18] and microcirculation [19].
The aim of this research work is to study the effect of emission produced by Orbita apparatus on peripheral tissue perfusion as well as coagulation and fibrinolytic activities of blood of white rats affected by acute and continuous immobilization stress.
Material and Methods
A group of 120 male non-pedigree albino rats with average weight of 180 - 220 g was chosen as a test subject. All animals were exposed to similar conditions. An acute and continuous immobilization stress caused by a single or daily 3-hour long immobilization performed to test animals for 5 consecutive days was chosen a model system of coagulation and fibrinolytic activities and microcirculation disorders.
The studied animals were divided into 3 groups of 15 animal each: 1st group - control group, 2nd group - comparison group (animals with acute and continuous immobilization stress), 3rd group was comprised of animals exposed to a single terahertz
radiation (generated by Orbita apparatus) equal to frequency of atmospheric oxygen (129.0 GHz) for 5, 15 and 30 minutes (respectively) during acute stress and daily terahertz radiation equal to frequencies of nitrogen oxide (150.176-150.664 GHz) after every 3-hour long immobilization for 5 consecutive days.
Orbita, a terahertz therapy apparatus, contains two radiation heads: one emitting 129 GHz frequency bands and the other 150 GHz ones. 129 GHz frequency band is one of spectral lines in second zone (120...132 GHz) of molecular absorption spectrum of nitrogen oxide (NO). [6]
The apparatus electrical power is supplied by (220±22)V power networks with standard frequency of (50.0±0.5) Hz.
Maximal electrical power consumption of this apparatus does not exceed 15 VA. The apparatus climate class conforms to boreal climate requirements as prescribed by category 4.2 of GOST {translit} (Russian State Standard) no. 15150: working temperature range - 10 to 35°C, maximal relative humidity - 80% at 25°C; ambient pressure range - 84.0 to 106.7 kPa (630 to 800 mmHg).

The radiation heads consist of brass hull with waveguide channel with 1.6 x 0.8 mm section implanted with Gunn diode with in-feed.
Radiation-producing waveguide flange has a thread that can be used to attach a PTFE safety cap transparent for terahertz waves (quenching - 0.3±0.1 dB). Radiation head hull is encased in protective shroud with an identification nameplate containing a six-digit code.
Head power supply is provided by regulated power supply source of control and display unit. Pulse operation of radiation head is provided by switching on impulse power supplied to Gunn diode. In the process of operation the head produces terahertz radiation.
Coagulation and fibrinolytic properties of blood of white affected by acute immobilization stress were studied with a series of tests performed on CGL 2110 "Solar" (Minsk, Belarus) turbidimetric coagulation meter using reagents provided by NPO (research and production association) "RENAM" (Moscow, Russia).
Primary characteristics of hemostatic system coagulation include activated partial thromboplastin time (APPT), prothrombin time, international normalized ratio (INR), fibrinogen concentration, thrombin time and factor XIII activity in blood plasma. Anticoagulant blood potency was studied by determination of activity of natural anticoagulants such as antithrombine-III and protein C contained in blood plasma. Fibrinolytic blood potential was studied with Hageman-dependent and streptokinase-induced euglobulin fibrinolysis by calculating plasminogen reserve index.
Disruption of dermal microvasculature was studied by laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) on the 6th day since the start of tests with 2nd version of «LAKK-02» {transliteration from Russian} blood flow laser analyzer (produced by NPP (research and production enterprise) "Lazma"", Russia) and LDF 2.20.0.507WL software
program. In order to immobilize tested animal, it was injected (intramuscularly) with a combination of zoletyl (produced by Virbac Sante Animale», France; doze: 0.05 ml/kg) and xylazine (produced by "Interchemie», France; doze: 1 ml/kg). Sensor of laser blood flow analyzer is attached to the back surface of right foot with an atraumatic plaster. Standard record time was 7 minutes.
Statistical analysis of obtained data was performed with the help of Statistica 6.0 program. Distribution type hypothesis were checked (Shapiro-Wilk test). A majority of obtained data does not comply with Gaussian distribution law, thus, Mann-Whitney U-test was used to compare data.
Results and Discussion
Exposure of animals affected with immobilization stress to terahertz radiation equal to frequency of atmospheric oxygen (129.0 GHz) for 5 minutes did not cause significant changes of disrupted coagulant and fibrinolytic parameters as evidenced by a lack of statistically significant discrepancies between characteristic parameters of coagulation cascade and fibrinolysis in comparison to non-involved animals. However, there is a statistically significant discrepancy between values of primary characteristics of hemostatic system coagulation and fibrinolytic activity of blood in comparison to non-involved animals (Tables 1 and 2).
It should noted that exposure of animals affected with acute immobilization stress to electromagnetic waves from the aforementioned range for 15 minute lead to partial normalization of characteristic parameters of coagulation cascade and fibrinolysis, i.e. APPT and thrombin time were recovered completely and had no statistically significant discrepancies with the same parameters measured for non-involved animals. However, all other hemostatic parameters had statistically significant discrepancies of those of noninvolved animals (Tables 1 and 2).

According to test results, perfusion parameter (M) of male rats, affected by continuous stress and exposed to a series of treatment with Orbita apparatus, recovered completely despite having statistically significantly discrepancies from the same parameter measured for animals in control group (Table 3). A statistically significant increase of root mean square deviation of perfusion parameter and variation coefficient is observed for animals of the aforementioned group compared to animals affected with continuous stress and not exposed to terahertz wave radiation (Table 3). It should also be noted that the value of root mean square deviation of
perfusion parameter and variation coefficient did not reach the control group value which is an evidence of incomplete recovery of micro blood flow modulation and mechanisms of its regulation.
According to results of amplitude-frequency analysis of LDF-charts, a statistically significant increase of amplitudes of vasomotor and endothelial oscillations was observed for male rats, affected by continuous stress and subjected to a series of exposure to electromagnetic waves equal to frequencies of molecular absorption and emission spectra of nitrogen oxide, compared to animals affected with continuous immobilization
stress and not exposed to terahertz wave radiation (Table 4). This means that vasodilating activity of endothelium increased (by activation of basal nitrogen oxide production) and peripheral resistance decreased. Amplitudes of respiratory and pulse (cardiac) oscillation also increased (Table 4) which evidences an increment of blood flowing to microvasculature.
Conclusion
Thus, exposure to radiation emitted by Orbita apparatus is an effective method of non-drug treatment of blood perfusion disorders and normalization of coagulant and fibrinolytic acitivites of blood.
