[Dentofacial injuries (1)].

A significant percentage of people suffer dental traumatims along his life. In view of aesthetic and functional importance of dental traumatisms we carry out a aethiological and epidemiological revision, with a study of classification and localization of these lesions.

[Changes in the glycolytic pathway in patients with essential arterial hypertension].

The defect of the sodium pump of the blood cell membrane in patients with essential blood hypertension, can induce changes in the metabolic use of ATP, especially at glucolytic pathway level. We studied the blood levels of ATP (32.51 +/- 10.80 mg/100 ml), 2,3-DPG (0.82 +/- 0.47 mumol/ml), piruvate (0.36 +/- 0.16 mg/100 ml) and lactate (18.88 +/- 4.53 mg/dl), of a group of 50 patients with essential blood hypertension and of 50 healthy persons in the control group (17.09 +/- 6.37 mg/100 ml, 0.45 +/- 0.23 mumol/ml, 0.33 +/- 0.15 mg/100 ml and 17.32 +/- 3.85 mg/dl respectively). There were statistically significant differences between ATP (p less than 0.0005) levels and 2,3-DPG and lactate (p less than 0.05). These results force us to study the presence of those changes on peripheral tissues to see whether they play an important role in hypertension complications, especially in respect of the vascular wall.

[Intraerythrocyte levels of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in patients with essential arterial hypertension and persons with normal blood pressure. Modifications after nifedipine therapy].

We evaluate the levels of intra-erythrocytes glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (G6PD) in a group of 50 patients with essential blood hypertension (EBH) (214.76 +/- 38.31 mU/ml) and in a group of 50 healthy persons (130.11 +/- 49.50 mU/ml) (p minor of 0.0005). At the same time, we have analysed the intraerythrocyte levels of G6PD of 34 healthy sons and daughters of hypertensive parents, detecting high levels in 13 of them. We observed a significant decrease of G6PD after the therapy with nifedipine in 20 hypertensive patients (p less than 0.0005). We conclude that measurement of G6PD enzyme activity can prove to be a good marker of essential hypertension. This change occurs at an early stage and is noticeable in high risk persons with family predisposition. It is possible to modify levels by working on cation changes through membrane cells by calcium-antagonist.
