The study is to explore the possible relationship between the level of trace element zinc in serum and periodontitis with Kidney deficiency. The level of serum zinc in 40 cases of periodontitis and in 19 normal controls was examined by atomic absorption spectrum analysis. The results indicated that there was only a descending trend of serum zinc in periodontitis group as compared with normal group. But further analysis revealed that according to the severity of periodontitis and the theory of Syndrome differentiation in TCM, it showed that the drop of serum zinc had not only a negative correlation with the severity of periodontitis, but also was co-related to whether there was Kidney deficiency or not. Serum zinc of periodontitis with Kidney Deficiency group was significantly lower than that of normal control group as well as the group of periodontitis without Kidney deficiency (P < 0.05). The data suggested that the decline of serum zinc level is closely related to the occurring and development of periodontitis with Kidney Deficiency.
本研究旨在探讨血清微量元素锌水平与肾虚型牙周炎之间的可能关系。采用原子吸收光谱分析法检测40例牙周炎患者和19例正常对照者的血清锌水平。结果显示，与正常组相比，牙周炎组血清锌仅呈下降趋势。但进一步分析表明，根据牙周炎的严重程度和中医辨证理论，血清锌的下降不仅与牙周炎的严重程度呈负相关，还与是否存在肾虚有关。肾虚型牙周炎组的血清锌显著低于正常对照组以及非肾虚型牙周炎组（P<0.05）。数据提示，血清锌水平的下降与肾虚型牙周炎的发生发展密切相关。
