Abstract

The subject of the study is human oral fluid. The goal is quantitative and qualitative assessment of the crystalline structure of the oral fluid of personal computer users using the theory of fractals. The task is to characterize qualitatively the crystals of the oral fluid of volunteers; apply a computer program to calculate the fractal dimension and area of oral fluid crystals. Methodology. Research work consists of two stages. In the first stage, a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the crystalline structure of users’ oral fluid was carried out over time without exposure to electromagnetic radiation from a computer. In the second stage, a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the crystalline structure of the users’ oral fluid in dynamics under the influence of electromagnetic radiation from a computer was performed. A laboratory analysis of oral fluid was performed according to physicochemical parameters: pH, buffer capacity, surface tension, total protein, inorganic phosphorus, ammonium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium and α-amylase. The type of structure of saliva microcrystals was determined using the method of P.A. Leus. Additionally, the structure of representative crystals was assessed. A fractal analysis of crystals was carried out (calculation of the fractal dimension and area of the crystals). Results. Qualitative and quantitative assessment of the state of users' oral fluid over time without exposure to electromagnetic radiation from a computer did not reveal statistically significant changes in physicochemical parameters and crystal structure. Based on the results of the second stage of research, the negative effect of the computer’s electromagnetic field on the oral fluid of users was established. Assessment of the crystalline structure of oral fluid according to the method of P.A. Leus did not reveal any negative changes against the background of computer radiation. However, a visual assessment of the representative crystals showed that there are disturbances in the structure of the crystal structures as a result of their destruction and loss of the first and second order axes, which was confirmed by fractal analysis. Conclusion. The negative impact of laptop electromagnetic radiation on the oral fluid of users has been revealed. Qualitative and quantitative crystallographic methods are complementary. Integration of these methods in the form of a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the crystalline structure of human oral fluid will allow the doctor to expand diagnostic capabilities in the field of saliva diagnostics.
