Содержание субстанции Р, эндотелина-1 и вазоактивного интестинального пептида в сыворотке крови детей с рекуррентными бронхитами и вертебробазилярной недостаточностью

Abstract

The recurrent bronchitis (RB) course is caused by the bronchi secretory-evacuation mechanisms state, which provide clearance from pathogens. This mechanism can be disrupted by vegetative reflexes and neuropeptides imbalance that develops in children with the syndrome of the vertebrobasilar arterial system (SVBAS). The objective: study of the neurogenic maintenance of the RB pathogenesis in children with SVBAS by studying the serum content of substances affecting of the bronchial mucosa secretory-evacuation function and inflammatory activity (substance P, vasoactive intestinal peptide - VIP and endothelin-1 - ET-1). 90 children aged 7 to 11 years were examined, 3 observation groups were formed: Group 1 – children with RB and SVBAS (n=30); Group 2 – children with SVBAS without RB (n=30); Group 3 – children with RB without SVBAS (n=30). In the Group 1, compared with the 2nd and 3rd, there was an increase in the children number with high serum content of substance P (by 66.7% and 50.0%, respectively, p<0.05) and ET -1 (by 23.3% and 40.0%, respectively, p<0.05), low content of VIP (by 46.7% and 23.4%, respectively, p<0.05). Children with RB and SVBAS have serum level imbalance of the pro-inflammatory substance P, ET-1 and anti-inflammatory VIP as the bronchitis severe course basis.
