ABSTRACT

Abstract Objectives: Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS) a chronic idiopathic oral mucosal disease. But yet the etiology and pathogenesis of RAS are not exactly known, it is thought that inflammation play an important role in the pathogenesis. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the role of systemic inflammation among the possible etiological factors of RAS and to find the possible diagnostic correlation between Systemic Immune Inflammation Index (SII). Methods: Patients who were consulted the otolaryngology outpatient clinic and diagnosed with RAS between 2019-2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet/Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) and SII values were calculated based on the results of complete blood count. Demographic and hematological parameters between control and RAS groups were compared. The statistical significance level was considered as <0.05. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the control and RAS groups in terms of sex and age distributions (p = 0.566 and p = 0.173, respectively). SII, NLR and PLR values were significantly higher in the RAS group compared to the controls (p < 0.001, p < 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively). A very strong correlation between SII and NLR, moderately strong correlation between SII and PLR and moderate correlation between NLR and PLR values were detected (respectively ρ: 0.813, 0.719, 0.532; p-values <0.001). Conclusion: SII, NLR and PLR has significantly higher levels in the RAS group compared to the control group, that it supports the role of systemic inflammation in the etiopathogenesis of RAS. In addition, the results show that SII is a valuable marker for inflammation. Level of evidence: 4. HIGHLIGHTS RAS is a chronic, idiopathic, ulcerative oral mucosal disease. SII is a new and inexpensive biomarker that can easily be calculated using the platelet, neutrophil, and lymphocyte count. SII may be a valuable marker to demonstrate the role of systemic inflammation in RAS etiopathogenesis. Vascular, thrombotic, and inflammatory processes are thought to have a role in RAS activation.


Resumo Objetivo: A estomatite aftosa recorrente (EAR) é uma doença crônica idiopática da mucosa oral. Embora sua etiologia e patogênese não sejam totalmente conhecidas, acredita-se que a inflamação possa desempenhar um papel importante. O objetivo deste estudo é demonstrar o papel da inflamação sistêmica entre os possíveis fatores etiológicos da estomatite aftosa recorrente e encontrar uma possível correlação diagnóstica com o índice de inflamação imunológica sistêmica, SII. Método: Foram analisados retrospectivamente pacientes avaliados no ambulatório de otorrinolaringologia e diagnosticados com estomatite aftosa recorrente entre 2019-2021. A relação neutrófilos/linfócitos, a relação plaquetas/linfócitos e os valores de SII foram calculados com base nos resultados do hemograma completo. Parâmetros demográficos e hematológicos dos grupos controle e de pacientes foram comparados. O nível de significância estatística foi considerado como <0,05. Resultados: Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos controle e com estomatite aftosa recorrente quanto à distribuição por sexo e idade (p = 0,566 e p = 0,173, respectivamente). Os valores de SII, a relação neutrófilos/linfócitos e a relação plaquetas/linfócitos foram significantemente maiores no grupo de pacientes em relação aos controles (p <0,001, p <0,001 e p = 0,001, respectivamente). Foi detectada uma correlação muito forte entre SII e relação neutrófilos/linfócitos, uma correlação moderadamente forte entre SII e relação plaquetas/linfócitos e uma correlação moderada entre valores da relação neutrófilos/linfócitos e relação plaquetas /linfócitos (ρ: 0,813, 0,719, 0,532 respectivamente; p-valores <0,001). Conclusão: SII, relação neutrófilos/linfócitos e relação plaquetas/linfócitos apresentam níveis significantemente maiores no grupo com estomatite aftosa recorrente quando comparados ao grupo controle, o que corrobora o papel da inflamação sistêmica na sua etiopatogênese. Além disso, os resultados mostram que o SII é um marcador inflamatório valioso. Nível de evidência: 4. HIGHLIGHTS A estomatite aftosa recorrente é uma doença ulcerativa crônica idiopática da mucosa oral. O SII (do inglês Systemic Immune Inflammation Index) é um biomarcador novo e de baixo custo que pode ser facilmente calculado que usa a contagem de plaquetas, neutrófilos e linfócitos. O SII pode ser um marcador valioso para demonstrar o papel da inflamação sistêmica na etiopatogênese da estomatite aftosa recorrente. Acredita-se que processos vasculares, trombóticos e inflamatórios tenham um papel na ativação da estomatite aftosa recorrente.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Various therapeutic methods are employed to reduce thyroid gland compression of the trachea. Differences in the amount of shrinkage in the thyroid gland, in the amount of amelioration of tracheal compression, and in the amount of fibrosis after treatment may occur with these different methods. Although the compression of the trachea decreases after thyroidectomy, the number of studies showing the extent of this is limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of thyroidectomy performed due to tracheal compression, to reveal the extent of improvement using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and to evaluate our results. METHODS: In total, 30 patients, i.e., 24 women and 6 men, with tracheal compression secondary to thyroid gland enlargement and undergoing total thyroidectomy were included in this study. MRI performed before surgery and 6 months after surgery. The amount of deviation from the tracheal midline and the tracheal lateral and anteroposterior (AP) diameters were measured, compared, and subjected to statistical analysis. RESULTS: Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between pre- and postoperative tracheal deviations, and lateral and AP diameters (p<0.001, p<0.001, and p=0.006, respectively). Histopathologically, benign or malignant pathology caused no significant difference in the postoperative improvement of tracheal anatomy (p=0.348 and p=0.148, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Thyroidectomy performed due to tracheal compression provides significant improvement in tracheal anatomy. Due to its rapid and effective results, thyroidectomy should be one of the first options considered in the treatment of thyroid diseases with compression findings.
