The aim of this study is to look into the roles of iron and zinc metals in etiopathogenesis of recurrent tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy by evaluating the levels of iron and zinc elements in the palatine tonsillar tissue.
In total, 40 patients who underwent a tonsillectomy to treat recurrent tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy were included in the study. Patients were classified into two groups, recurrent tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy, determined by the results of clinical and histopathological examination. The levels of iron and zinc elements were determined for each tonsillar tissue sample.
There was a significant difference in the iron and zinc concentrations (p<0.001) between the tonsillar hypertrophy and recurrent tonsillitis groups. The levels of iron and zinc were significantly lower in the recurrent tonsillitis group.
This study suggests that low tissue concentrations of iron and zinc may lead to recurrent tonsillitis.
本研究旨在通过评估腭扁桃体组织中铁和锌元素的水平，探讨铁和锌金属在复发性扁桃体炎和扁桃体肥大的病因发病机制中的作用。
本研究共纳入40例因复发性扁桃体炎和扁桃体肥大而接受扁桃体切除术的患者。根据临床和组织病理学检查结果，将患者分为复发性扁桃体炎和扁桃体肥大两组。测定每个扁桃体组织样本中铁和锌元素的水平。
扁桃体肥大组和复发性扁桃体炎组之间的铁和锌浓度存在显著差异（p<0.001）。复发性扁桃体炎组中铁和锌的水平显著较低。
本研究表明，铁和锌的组织浓度低可能导致复发性扁桃体炎。
