STRUCTURE OF GASTROENTEROLOGICAL PATHOLOGY OF CHILDREN WITH GOITER

 

 

The problem of deficiency iodine diseases comes into all more notice in the whole world in connection from considerable prevalence and unfavorable mediko- social consequences of pathology, related to the deficit of iodine and is one of primary tasks of health protection population on the whole and child in particular.

In clinical practice plenty enough of information is accumulated that deficit of thyroidin hormones be what degree negatively influences on child's organism, is the factor of high risk of violation of growth and development for children, forming of chronic pathology and growth of socially meaningful illnesses. On a background iodine insufficiency there are violations of neuro-psychological development of, which have a wide spectrum - from the decline of intellect of easy degree to the heavy forms of endemic cretinism. In the districts of iodine deficit found out the low particle of schoolboys which have harmonious development of personality, in third of children rejections are registered in sexual development, and there are violations of indexes of reproductive health in the halves of girls.

Consequently high-frequency of endemic goiter among child's population and decline of function of thyroid gland subject to the condition iodine deficit show by itself a serious threat to the somatic (specifically gastrointestinal tracts), psychical and reproductive health. As Bukovina behaves to territories with the deficit of iodine, remonitoring of deficiency iodine diseases for children that development of modern approaches to their prophylaxis is both social and medical the issue of the day.

To examine prevalence and structure of gastroenterological pathology of children with goiter.

The program of inspection foresaw the statistical analysis of school age (500 persons) children’s case report with pathology of gastrointestinal tract, with the selection of clinically instrumental and laboratory researches.

Determination of concentration of iodine in urine of children from the different climate-geographical areas of Bukovina showed that in most children excretion of iodine with urine is reduced. A median of ioduria in inspected population on the whole is 58,1 ± 3,2 mkg/l, for children Chernivtsi 69,8 ± 2,87 mkg/l, mountain area - 29,08 ± 2,14 mkg/l, flat area - 66,4 ± 3,22 mkg/l mkg/l.

General frequency of goiter for the children of Bukovina from data of palpation research is 53,3% and as a result of US 30,08%, both for boys and the goiter of I of degree prevails for girls, for certain high-frequency of goiter and predominance of his heavy degrees it is registered for the children of mountain area of dwelling.

The laboratory signs of subclinical hypothyroidism were observed in 3,4% all population of the inspected children. 34,6% children of basic group (with the different degrees of goiter) were characterized the changes of indexes of thyroid type of, which go out outside age-old parameters, 18,8% have signs of subclinical hypothyroidism. Children from the mountain area of dwelling had the most wide vibrations of maintenance of hormones of the hypophysial-thyroid system.

It costs to notice that as a result of research not a single child from the inspected group does not use marine products, rich on maintenance of iodine, iodized salt is used only by a 1 family from 50, but also they use and keep salt without the observance of elementary hygienical requirements.

In the structure of gastroenterological pathology among children with the goiter of 1-2 degrees first place has chronic gastroduodenitis - 86,6%. Characteristic of this pathology is a decline of amount of hypertrophic gastroduodenitis with the displays of lymphofollicular hyperplasia, increase of erosively destructive affection of gullet, stomach and duodenum. The erosive - hemorrhagica affection of tunica mucosa is registered in 15,5% schoolchildren. Primarily these kids are more frequently boys that live on endemic territory (1-2 degrees of endemic goiter). The clinical picture of such patient border is not determined between the periods of aggravation and remission, there is no clear localization of pain that has stable character and does not depend on the reception of meal. Classical basic therapy does not give a positive clinical result and prolonged effect.

Morphologically superficial gastritis is confirmed in 34% of cases, gastritis with the affection of glands without atrophy - in 28%, moderate atrophy - in 18%, expressed atrophy - in 3,7%.

Pays attention on itself increase of frequency of gastric and duodenum ulcers. Thus, if in 2000 year ulcer of stomach and duodenum registered in 4,6% children, than in 2008 year - in 9,7%. In 88,7% of sick children with pathology that is associated with Heliobacterium that it is confirmed with express method and cytological research.

Among concomitant pathology of this contingent of children the pathological changes of liver (67,7%) of different level of affection prevailed often in combination with affection of the bile-excreting system, kidneys and intestine.

More than half of children had allergic affection: allergic dermatitis and food allergy. Chronic gastroduodenal pathology had 60% of children with prolonged syndrome of “chronic unspecific intoxication”. There are fewer occurrences of combined affection of gastroduodenal zone with pathology of pancreas.

Analysing the results of laboratory examination was discovered that such children had increased amylase in blood. At the same time ultrasonic research of sign of dyspacreatism was registered in 90% of children with gastroenteritis pathology. We consider such state as reactive involvement of pancreas to the pathological process in connection with the uneven arcade of bile in duodenum because 87% of children were found with various deformations of gallbladder. There was S-form deformation of gallbladder in third part of patients. A ponderable part (35%) included various refluxes.

Thus, there is considerable growth of gastroenterological pathology among school age children that live in the zone of endemic goiter.
