Abstract

Despite the large number of studies that examine the impact of chronic alcohol intoxication on the morphological and functional status of internal organs with mechanical trauma, including trauma of the abdomen, systematically, there have not been conducted any research with the use of a complex of modern laboratory studies. The purpose of the study was to develop a set of criteria to evaluate the effects of chronic alcohol intoxication on the morpho-functional state of the internal organs (liver and pancreas) in women with mechanical trauma biochemical blood indices. Material and methods. Research materials are medical records and patient ambulatory persons of 24 patients with chronic alcoholism, who appealed for help to the regional drug treatment clinic, patient medical records and outpatient injured 38 people who applied to hospital. We used biochemical methods: a) blood chemistry: study of total protein, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, glucose, cholesterol, total, direct and indirect bilirubin, alpha -amylase, b) forensic blood chemistry, urine for alcohol content. Results and discussion. As a result, our research has established that the most likely among the best biochemical indicators to assess the functional state of the liver, which suffers the most under the influence of chronic alcohol intoxication was alaninaminotransferase, aspartataminotransferase, total and direct bilirubin, which significantly raised during abuse of alcohol. Pathology of the pancreas state studied by the enzyme α- amylase rose in alcoholic and traumatic injuries. During the study we found that the biochemical parameters of blood in women statistically significantly different between all study groups (p <0.05). The first group consisted of women who died nonviolently and had the history of chronic alcohol intoxication; the second group consisted of women who died from mechanical injury with histories of chronic alcohol intoxication; the third comprised women who died from mechanical injury. The level of total protein in the first group studied women with chronic alcohol intoxication. It was on average 70,05 ± 0,69 g/l (median, 70.0), which was not statistically different from the amount of total protein in the second studied group of women who died from injuries and patients with chronic alcohol intoxication. The third group of women died from injuries in the absence of chronic alcohol intoxication, and accordingly was on average, 70.41 ± 0.67 g/l and 69.95 ± 0,90 g/l (median 70.0). Significant differences were P1 -2=0.59, P1 -3=0.92, P2 -3=0.52. The level of alanine aminotransferase in the first group was studied in women with chronic alcohol intoxication. It was on average 9.45 ± 0.44 mmol / l (median 9.0), which was statistically significantly higher than in the second group 7.39 ± 0.28 mmol / L (median, 7.0). The third group where the content of alanine aminotransferase was on average 0.57 ± 0.03 mmol / L (median, 0.60), (P1-2 = 0.0005, P2-3 and P1-3 <0.0001). The content of aspartate aminotransferase in the first group studied in women with chronic alcohol intoxication was on average 3.84 ± 0.21 mmol/l (median 4.0) which was statistically insignificant lower than in the second group where the number of aspartate aminotransferase was on average 4.12 ± 0.19 mmol / l (median 4.0) and statistically insignificant higher than the third group, where the content of aspartate aminotransferase was on average 0.37 ± 0.02 mmol / l (median, 0.35), with a significance level of differences were as follows: P1-2 was 0.37, P2-3 and P1-3 <0.0001. The amount of glucose in the first group was studied in women with chronic alcohol intoxication. It was on average 4.38 ± 0.21 mmol / L ( median, 4.80 ), which was not statistically different from the amount of glucose in the third group of women who died from injuries in the absence of chronic alcohol intoxication. The amount of glucose in the third group was on average 4.83 ± 0.12 mmol / L ( median 4.75) and statistically significantly higher than in the second group of women who died from injuries and patients with chronic alcohol intoxication where the glucose concentration was on average 4.0 ± 0.21 mmol / L (median 3.75). Significant differences were as follows: P1 -2=0.36, P1 -3=0.35, R2=0.018. Cholesterol level in the first group of women with chronic alcohol intoxication was on average 7.7 ± 0.33 mmol / l (median 8.0), which was statistically significantly higher than in the second group. The content of cholesterol in the second group was equal to 6.73 ± 0.24 mmol / l (median 7.0). The third group had cholesterol level on average 5.12 ± 0.09 mmol / l (median 4.95). Significant differences were as follows: P1 -2 = 0.003 , P1 -3 and P2 -3 < 0.0001. The content of total bilirubin in the first group of women with chronic alcohol intoxication was on average 21.39 ± 0.31 mmol / l (median 22.0) , which is statistically insignificant higher than in the second group in which the number of total bilirubin was on average 20.75 ± 0.38 mmol / l (median 22.0) and statistically significantly higher than the third group, where the content of total bilirubin was on average 10.18 ± 0.38 mmol / l (median 10). The significance level of differences was as follows: P1 -2 is 0.41, P2 -3 and P1 -3 < 0.0001. The content of direct bilirubin in the first group of women with chronic alcohol intoxication was on average 14.54 ± 0.43 mmol / l (median 14.0), which is statistically insignificant higher than in the second group. The amount of direct bilirubin was on average 13.45 ± 0.57 mmol / l (median 15.0) and statically significantly higher than in the third group. Here the content of direct bilirubin was on average 4.63 ± 0.13 mmol / l (median 5.0). The significance level of differences was as follows: P1 -2 is 0.16, P2 -3 and P1 -3 < 0.0001. The content of indirect bilirubin in the first group of women with chronic alcohol intoxication was on average 15.59 ± 0.66 mmol / l (median 16.0), which was statistically insignificant higher than in the second group. The content of indirect bilirubin was on average 14.0±0.52 mmol / l (median 15.0) and statistically significantly higher than the third group. The third group women had on average 10,58 ± 0, 45 mmol / L (median, 10.0) of indirect bilirubin. The significance level of differences was as follows: P1 -2 is 0.008 , P2 -3 and P1 -3 < 0.0001. α- amylase concentration in the first group of women with chronic alcohol intoxication was on average 43.05 ± 0.57 mmol / l (median 45.0). This is statistically significantly higher than α- amylase concentration in the third group of women who died from injuries in the absence of chronic alcohol intoxication. It was on average 34.95 ± 0.90 g / l (median 35) and not statistically different from those in the second group of women who died from injuries. Patients with chronic alcohol intoxication had average α- amylase level of 43,8 ± 0,24 g / l (median 47). Significant differences were as follows: P1 -2 = 0.012, P1 -3 = 0.34, R2- 3 = 0.35. Conclusions. The obtained results showed that the most statistically significant differences were characterized by values of ALT, AST, total and direct bilirubin which were significantly higher than in women with chronic alcohol intoxication, women who received mechanical injury in the state of alcohol intoxication than injured women who were drunk.
