Alteraciones bucales asociadas al riesgo de intoxicación y plaguicidas en saliva humana
Resumen
Oral disturbances associated with poisoning risk and pesticides in human saliva
Abstract
In Venezuela the pesticides have been marketed and applied indiscriminately by farmers. Those facts along with the lack of evaluation andmonitoring cases of poisoning have aggravated the situation of population health. An important strategy for solving the problem is to have apremature diagnostic method, easy-to-manage, accessible economically and non-invasive to the human body. Objectives: the researchers seeks tooffer health workers, farmers and the general population, a diagnosis method to classify the alterations oral associated with risk factors and poisoningby organophosphate and carbamates pesticides, determined by a chemical colorimetric test. This test will allow determining inhibition levels of theacetylcholinesterase enzyme present in human saliva, which is a phenomenon associated with poisoning pesticides in the body. Methods: thisresearch was experimental with a of cross-section analytical component with individuals exposed. The population was formed by 12,500 individuals,from which we took a sample of 177 people. An oral examination was performed to detect nicotinic alterations, muscarinic or neurological, as well asother not associated diseases. Samples of saliva, venous blood and oral mucosa cells were analyzed to perform validation of salivary test. Results:percentages of AChE inhibition increases progressively, the higher were for the group of over 70%. Authors found 156 (89.14%) people withpercentages of AChE inhibition over 20% which indicates a state of intoxicated. Oral disturbances related with muscarinic syndrome (67.35%),nicotinic (77.78%) and neurological (64.21%), as well as congenital disorders (72.22%) presented greater association with risk factors. Conclusion:A significant association at 0.05 Chi-square was found with relation to risk factors analyzed as a whole. Significant statistical relationship betweenoral disturbances with the percentages of AChE inhibiting and the individual intoxicated condition with pesticides could not be established. You maybe required to increase the sample size for most significant relationships
