Estimation of Serum Lipid Profile in Gutkha chewers and Oral Sub Mucous Fibrosis patients – A Comparative study

چکیده
Aim: The role of blood cholesterol level variations in diagnosis and treatment has been extensively worked on in many studies. However, studies on alteration in serum lipid profile among OSMF patients are limited. The present study was performed to estimate serum lipid profile in OSMF patients and gutkha chewers. Material and Methods: The study sample comprised of 45 cases, which included 15 clinically diagnosed OSMF patients (group I), 15 persons with gutkha chewing habit (group II) and 15 controls. The serum levels of Total serum cholesterol (TC), Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL), High Density Lipoproteins (HDL), Very Low Density Lipoproteins (VLDL) and Triglycerides (TG) were analyzed. The data was analyzed using Post hoc Dunnett’s t-test and P<0.05 was studied as statistically significant. Results: On analysis serum lipid profiles progressively lowered in Gutkha chewers and OSMF patients. There was significant decrease in TC (P<0.0001), TG (P<0.0002), LDL (P<0.0007) and VLDL (P<0.0004), HDL (P=16) in gutkha chewers and OSMF patients as compared to controls. Conclusion: This reduction in serum lipid levels can be used as a support for diagnosis and prognosis of oral premalignant and malignant lesions. Further studies with larger sample size and long term follow up and estimation of lipid profiles with regular intervals is required to prove correlation between conversions from precancerous condition to malignancy.

Palmar dermatoglyphics among gutkha chewers with and without oral submucous fibrosis
Background: Palmar dermatoglyphics has been and is being studied in many diseases and alterations in normal patterns have been noted. It has been an accepted fact that genetics plays an important role in determination of palmar dermatoglyphic patterns. Millions of people chew gutkha, but all of them do not suffer from oral submucous fibrosis (o.s.m.f.) It seems likely that a genetic predisposit...

AIMS Prevention of oral precancer is most desirable and should take precedence over its diagnosis and therapy. As both, mast cell counts in connective tissue and serum lipids are altered in Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSF), so study of both the factors is vitally important in OSF. METHODS A total of 50 persons were included in the study of which 40 were OSF patients and 10 controls. Tissue secti...

BACKGROUND Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is a chronic insidious disease of the oral mucosa, commonly seen in South East Asia. It occurs mainly due to the habit of quid or gutkha chewing. There is a clear dose dependent relationship between gutkha chewing and development of OSMF, also due to continuous chewing for larger intervals of time unnecessary forces are exerted on the muscles mainly the...
