[A marker and prognostic test for phospholipase A2 in periodontal inflammatory diseases]. / Markernyi i prognosticheskii test na fosfolipazu A2 pri vospalitel'nykh zabolevaniiakh parodonta.

Phospholipase A2 is one the main enzymes determining cell membranes morphological and functional condition. Close correlation has been revealed between the activity of this enzyme and clinical state of inflammatory process in periodontium. According to the obtained data phospholipase A2 can be a precise diagnostic and prognostic marker of the periodontal tissues condition in pathology.

[The use of immobilized and native proteolytic enzymes in treating inflammatory periodontal diseases]. / Primenenie immobilizovannykh i nativnykh proteoliticheskikh fermentov pri lechenii vospalitel'nykh zabolevanii parodonta.

.1% solution of native terrilytin, a proteolytic enzyme, and 5% profezyme, an immobilized enzyme, were used in the treatment of periodontal inflammations. To enhance the efficacy of enzyme therapy, the latter agent was combined with an antiseptic and pyrimidine-based methychlozyme paste including 5% of profezyme, 0.2% of chlorohexidine bigluconate, 0.2% of methyluracil, 30% of glycerin, and zinc oxide 74.6%. Use of immobilized and native proteolytic enzymes in therapy of patients with gingivitis and periodontitis permitted reducing the number of sessions 1.5-fold. Multiple-modality treatment was conducive to prolongation of the process remission up to 2 years in 52.31% of patients whereas in conventional therapy such remissions could be achieved in only 20%.
