摘要
Mononuclear cell (MNC), polymorphonuclear cell (PMNC) and serum zinc levels were studied in 17 oral surgical patients with intermaxillary fixation. Serum copper, iron, selenium and bromide concentrations were also measured together with common indices of nutritional status. Nine patients received nutritional counselling. Eight patients had, in addition, oral supplementation with a commercial formula. No changes in intracellular or serum zinc levels were seen during the study period. A statistically significant decrease was seen in mean body weight with subsequent changes in anthropometry. Maximal mean weight loss was 6.0 +/- 3.8% in control group and 3.8 +/- 2.7% in supplemental group. The impaired oral intake due to intermaxillary fixation does not interfere significantly with zinc status as estimated by MNC, PMNC or serum zinc levels. The reduction in body weight and anthropometric indices in the relatively short fixation period may be clinically significant in some patients. Supplementation with a commercial formula helps to maintain the nutritional status of these patients.
