APPLICATION INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY IN THE SURGICAL TREATMENT CARCINOMA OF THE TONGUE
Infrared spectroscopy of oral fluid was performed in 36 patients with carcinoma of the tongue before the surgery and on the first, third, fifth, 10’s day after hemiglossektomy. The study was performed with a hardware-software complex "IKAR", there were checked the indexes of transmittance (%) and the average bandwidth for each of the 9 channels was calculated. The results of spectrometry were compared with clinical data of healing of patients with post-resection wounds of tongue and the results of spectrometry of control group of volunteers with an intact oral mucosa. The most informative in predicting the nature of healing of post-resectiion wounds of tongue were the changes of indexes of transmission that occurred in the wavelength ranges: 2120-1880 cm -1, 1543-1396 cm -1 and 1087-963 cm-1 in the IR spectrum on 3, 5, 10 days after operation. With the values of the transmission parameters, on the third day after surgery, in the range of 2120-1880 cm-1, 1543-1396 cm-1 and 1087-963 cm-1, not more than 57,9 ± 2,58%, 34,8 ± 2 34%, 30,8 ± 1,55%, respectively, it is predicted the "favorable" development of wound healing, and for values of 77,3 ± 3,50%, 61,9 ± 2,05%, 57,1 ± 1,36% - the complicated course of wound healing.
