RESUMO
A saliva é fundamental para a homeostase digestiva. Alterações no seu volume e composição são correlacionadas com o refluxo laringofaríngeo (RLF). Estudos recentes demonstraram que pacientes com RLF apresentam acidificação do pH salivar. A síndrome de Sjögren (SS) foi eleita como modelo de hiposalivação, com objetivo de analisar as repercussões da diminuição salivar na laringe e faringe. CASUÍSTICA E MÉTODO:
Estudo clínico transversal de 19 sujeitos com SS e RLF comparados com 12 indivíduos saudáveis. Obtidas amostras de saliva total não estimulada (STNE) e saliva total estimulada por mastigação de parafilm M® (STE).RESULTADOS:
Todos os indivíduos eram mulheres, média de idade de 60 anos (estudo) e 44 anos. A prevalência de RLF foi 100 por cento. O pH médio na STNE foi 7,53 (grupo estudo) e 7,57(controle), aumentando para 7,87 e 7,93, respectivamente, após estimulação mecânica. Não houve diferença significante de pH entre os grupos. O volume salivar médio dos pacientes com SS foi 1,27mL (STNE) e 3,78mL (STE), sendo o volume salivar do grupo controle significativamente maior (4,02mL na STNE e 11,96mL na STE).CONCLUSÕES:
Todos os indivíduos estudados apresentaram RLF, fato provavelmente relacionado à queda uniforme observada no volume salivar e de todos seus componentes, não sendo observadas mudanças no pH salivar no grupo estudado. Isso sugere fisiopatogenias diferentes do RLF para indivíduos com SS.ABSTRACT
Saliva is one of the components for the digestive homeostasis. Recent studies have shown that patients with laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) present a drop in salivary pH. Patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) are a potential clinical research model for xerostomia and its laryngeal and pharyngeal consequences. The aim was to evaluate the characteristics of saliva of patients with SS and LPR. METHODS:
19 patients with SS plus LPR, and 12 healthy controls had their saliva studied prospectively for volume and pH. Two salivary samples were obtained from each participant whole unstimulated saliva(WUS) and whole stimulated saliva(WSS) while chewing parafilm M®. All the participants were females.RESULTS:
Mean age was 60 years (study group) and 44 years (control). LPR was diagnosed on all 19 subjects. The mean pH of WUS was 7.53 (SS) and 7.57 (controls), raising to 7.87 and 7.83 respectively after stimulation. The mean salivary volume of patients with SS was 1.27 mL (WUS) and 3.78 mL (WSS), whereas controls had a significantly higher salivary volume both before and after stimuli.CONCLUSION:
A very high prevalence of LPR was found in patients with SS, which is probably caused by a uniform drop in salivary volume and all its contents, rather than a specific deficiency in its components, as shown previously in patients without SS.Key words
