Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of our research is to identify causative metals of oral lichen planus by PIXE method. Subjects were 72 patients with oral lichen planus (pOLP group), and 12 patients with oral lichenoid lesion (OLL group) chosen from pOLP group. The control is elemental data of 100 healthy persons (control group). As to appearance ratio of elements in oral mucosa, levels of Au and Y were significantly higher in pOLP group than in control group. The contaminating elements in oral mucosa of pOLP group had a lower appearance ratio than the control but each of the contaminating elements was more abundant. Tendencies were seen for contaminating elements to be more abundant in saliva than in serum and for essential elements to be more abundant in serum than in saliva. In OLL group, as to appearance ratio of elements in oral mucosa, the levels of Au were significantly higher and as to the concentration of elements, Al and Ti were more abundant than in control group.
