Assessment of the efficiency of sialosis treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Was to determine changes in the levels of cytokines in the oral fluid in patients with type 2 diabetes and sialosis, depending on the level of glycemia and the duration of type 2 diabetes, as well as in the dynamics of basic and complex treatment. Forty patients with type 2 diabetes were enrolled in the study and divided into two groups according to disease duration: group 1 comprised 15 patients having diabetes for ≤5 years, group 2 - 25 suffering for more than 5 years. The study revealed changes in pancreatic cancer immunological parameters in patients with sialosis and type 2 diabetes. Long course of diabetes led to an increase in the level of IL-2 and a decrease in IFN-γ in oral fluid. The level of IL-1β was the highest in the group of patients with a duration of diabetes ≤5 years. According to the data presented, the content of IL-1β, IL-2 in patients with diabetes is higher, and INF-γ is lower than in healthy individuals. In patients with sialosis on the background of type 2 diabetes before treatment there is a decrease in the level of IFN-γ in the oral fluid and its increase to 7.3±0.2 pg/ml after treatment. At the same time, when enzyme therapy was included in the treatment regimen, the increase in the level of IFN-γ in the main group was more pronounced and averaged 8.3±0.1 pg/ml, which was 1.2 times higher than the initial level (p<0,05). The inclusion of enzyme therapy in the complex therapy of patients with sialosis against the background of diabets, unlike traditional methods of therapy, made it possible to provide faster positive clinical dynamics, namely, under the influence of this drug, the pain stopped in a short time, salivation increased and the feeling of dryness disappeared. Along with a faster relief of clinical symptoms, normalization of the levels of IL-1β, IL-2 and an increase in IFN-γ by the end of treatment were noted.
