The relationship of hemodynamic parameters of periodontal microvascular bed and lipid peroxidation products in adolescents with arterial hypertension

Abstract

Of the study was to establish the relationship of hemodynamic parameters of periodontal tissues and lipid peroxidation products in adolescents with arterial hypertension (AH). The study included 132 adolescents (average age 14.51±1.91 years), from which 2 clinical groups (1 - the group with AH without periodontal disease (n=19, average age - 15±1.53 years) and 2 - the group with AH with periodontal diseases (n=57, average age - 14.7±1.89 years)) and 2 comparison groups (3 - the comparison group without AH and periodontal diseases (n=19, average age - 13.82±1.89 years) and 4 - comparison group without AH and with periodontal diseases (n=37, mean age - 14.57±2.01 years)) were formed. Hemodynamic analysis of the periodontal microcirculatory bed using the Doppler ultrasound method and the level of lipid peroxidation products using spectrophotometric and fluorometric methods was performed. In adolescents with hypertension without and with inflammatory periodontal diseases as a whole, unidirectional changes in the hemodynamics of the vascular bed of the periodontium were observed in the form of increased values of the maximum blood flow velocity in systole and an increase in the peripheral resistance index. At the same time, the group with hypertension and periodontal disease was distinguished by lower values of these indicators. In the system of lipid peroxidation, increased values of ketodienes and conjugated trienes occurred in patients with hypertension without periodontal disease and end products that actively reacting with thiobarbituric acid in patients with hypertension and periodontal disease. Correlation analysis showed the presence of intersystem relationships between the hemodynamic parameters of the vascular bed of periodontal adolescents with hypertension without periodontal disease. In the group of adolescents with arterial hypertension and periodontal disease, there was a decrease in the correlation coefficients between intersystem parameters by almost two times, as well as the appearance of pathological dependencies between toxic metabolites of the lipid peroxidation process - products that actively reacting with thiobarbituric acid and vascular blood flow indicators. It has been noted that in adolescent patients with hypertension and periodontal diseases on the background of lower vascular blood flow and accumulation of end toxic metabolites, pathological dependencies occur between them, which may contribute to more intense damage to the tissues of the periodontal complex in the presence of hypertension.
