Saliva: The clear, viscous fluid secreted by the SALIVARY GLANDS and mucous glands of the mouth. It contains MUCINS, water, organic salts, and ptylin.Saliva, Artificial: A solution used for irrigating the mouth in xerostomia and as a substitute for saliva.Salivary Proteins and Peptides: Proteins and peptides found in SALIVA and the SALIVARY GLANDS. Some salivary proteins such as ALPHA-AMYLASES are enzymes, but their composition varies in different individuals.Salivation: The discharge of saliva from the SALIVARY GLANDS that keeps the mouth tissues moist and aids in digestion.Parotid Gland: The largest of the three pairs of SALIVARY GLANDS. They lie on the sides of the FACE immediately below and in front of the EAR.Salivary Glands: Glands that secrete SALIVA in the MOUTH. There are three pairs of salivary glands (PAROTID GLAND; SUBLINGUAL GLAND; SUBMANDIBULAR GLAND).Submandibular Gland: One of two salivary glands in the neck, located in the space bound by the two bellies of the digastric muscle and the angle of the mandible. It discharges through the submandibular duct. The secretory units are predominantly serous although a few mucous alveoli, some with serous demilunes, occur. (Stedman, 25th ed)Mouth: The oval-shaped oral cavity located at the apex of the digestive tract and consisting of two parts: the vestibule and the oral cavity proper.Sublingual Gland: A salivary gland on each side of the mouth below the TONGUE.Immunoglobulin A, Secretory: The principle immunoglobulin in exocrine secretions such as milk, respiratory and intestinal mucin, saliva and tears. The complete molecule (around 400 kD) is composed of two four-chain units of IMMUNOGLOBULIN A, one SECRETORY COMPONENT and one J chain (IMMUNOGLOBULIN J-CHAINS).Xerostomia: Decreased salivary flow.Streptococcus mutans: A polysaccharide-producing species of STREPTOCOCCUS isolated from human dental plaque.Dental Plaque: A film that attaches to teeth, often causing DENTAL CARIES and GINGIVITIS. It is composed of MUCINS, secreted from salivary glands, and microorganisms.Dental Pellicle: A thin protein film on the surface of DENTAL ENAMEL. It is widely believed to result from the selective adsorption of precursor proteins present in SALIVA onto tooth surfaces, and to reduce microbial adherence to the TEETH.Dental Caries: Localized destruction of the tooth surface initiated by decalcification of the enamel followed by enzymatic lysis of organic structures and leading to cavity formation. If left unchecked, the cavity may penetrate the enamel and dentin and reach the pulp.Histatins: A group of small, histidine-rich, cationic peptides in human SALIVA which are antibacterial and antifungal.Actinomyces: A genus of gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria whose organisms are nonmotile. Filaments that may be present in certain species are either straight or wavy and may have swollen or clubbed heads.Mouth Mucosa: Lining of the ORAL CAVITY, including mucosa on the GUMS; the PALATE; the LIP; the CHEEK; floor of the mouth; and other structures. The mucosa is generally a nonkeratinized stratified squamous EPITHELIUM covering muscle, bone, or glands but can show varying degree of keratinization at specific locations.Mucin-5B: A gel-forming mucin that is predominantly expressed by submucosal glands of airway tissues and the SUBLINGUAL GLAND. It is one of the principal components of high molecular weight salivary mucin.Proline-Rich Protein Domains: Protein domains that are enriched in PROLINE. The cyclical nature of proline causes the peptide bonds it forms to have a limited degree of conformational mobility. Therefore the presence of multiple prolines in close proximity to each other can convey a distinct conformational arrangement to a peptide chain.Secretory Rate: The amount of a substance secreted by cells or by a specific organ or organism over a given period of time; usually applies to those substances which are formed by glandular tissues and are released by them into biological fluids, e.g., secretory rate of corticosteroids by the adrenal cortex, secretory rate of gastric acid by the gastric mucosa.Kallidin: A decapeptide bradykinin homolog cleaved from kininogen by kallikreins. It is a smooth-muscle stimulant and hypotensive agent that acts by vasodilatation.Parasympathetic Nervous System: The craniosacral division of the autonomic nervous system. The cell bodies of the parasympathetic preganglionic fibers are in brain stem nuclei and in the sacral spinal cord. They synapse in cranial autonomic ganglia or in terminal ganglia near target organs. The parasympathetic nervous system generally acts to conserve resources and restore homeostasis, often with effects reciprocal to the sympathetic nervous system.Calcium: A basic element found in nearly all organized tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.Encyclopedias as Topic: Works containing information articles on subjects in every field of knowledge, usually arranged in alphabetical order, or a similar work limited to a special field or subject. (From The ALA Glossary of Library and Information Science, 1983)Love: Affection; in psychiatry commonly refers to pleasure, particularly as it applies to gratifying experiences between individuals.Music: Sound that expresses emotion through rhythm, melody, and harmony.Malus: A plant genus in the family ROSACEAE, order Rosales, subclass Rosidae. It is best known as a source of the edible fruit (apple) and is cultivated in temperate climates worldwide.Music Therapy: The use of music as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of neurological, mental, or behavioral disorders.Erwinia amylovora: A species of gram-negative bacteria, in the genus ERWINIA, causing a necrotic disease of plants.Alzheimer Disease: A degenerative disease of the BRAIN characterized by the insidious onset of DEMENTIA. Impairment of MEMORY, judgment, attention span, and problem solving skills are followed by severe APRAXIAS and a global loss of cognitive abilities. The condition primarily occurs after age 60, and is marked pathologically by severe cortical atrophy and the triad of SENILE PLAQUES; NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; and NEUROPIL THREADS. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1049-57)Amyloid beta-Peptides: Peptides generated from AMYLOID BETA-PEPTIDES PRECURSOR. An amyloid fibrillar form of these peptides is the major component of amyloid plaques found in individuals with Alzheimer's disease and in aged individuals with trisomy 21 (DOWN SYNDROME). The peptide is found predominantly in the nervous system, but there have been reports of its presence in non-neural tissue.Amyloid beta-Protein Precursor: A single-pass type I membrane protein. It is cleaved by AMYLOID PRECURSOR PROTEIN SECRETASES to produce peptides of varying amino acid lengths. A 39-42 amino acid peptide, AMYLOID BETA-PEPTIDES is a principal component of the extracellular amyloid in SENILE PLAQUES.Plaque, Amyloid: Accumulations of extracellularly deposited AMYLOID FIBRILS within tissues.tau Proteins: Microtubule-associated proteins that are mainly expressed in neurons. Tau proteins constitute several isoforms and play an important role in the assembly of tubulin monomers into microtubules and in maintaining the cytoskeleton and axonal transport. Aggregation of specific sets of tau proteins in filamentous inclusions is the common feature of intraneuronal and glial fibrillar lesions (NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLES; NEUROPIL THREADS) in numerous neurodegenerative disorders (ALZHEIMER DISEASE; TAUOPATHIES).Brain: The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.Pharmacies: Facilities for the preparation and dispensing of drugs.Journal Impact Factor: A quantitative measure of the frequency on average with which articles in a journal have been cited in a given period of time.RestaurantsAmbulances: A vehicle equipped for transporting patients in need of emergency care.Heart: The hollow, muscular organ that maintains the circulation of the blood.Chlorthalidone: A benzenesulfonamide-phthalimidine that tautomerizes to a BENZOPHENONES form.

C. lectularius, of temperate regions, is the common bedbug that attacks humans and is frequently a serious pest in houses, hotels, barracks, and other living quarters. Experiments have shown that bedbugs can transmit a variety of diseases, but they are not normal vectors under natural conditions. (From Dorland, 27th ed; Borror, et al., An Introduction to the Study of Insects, 4th ed, p272)Cimicidae: A family of wingless, blood-sucking insects of the suborder HETEROPTERA, including the bedbugs and related forms.

The two main types are RESPIRATORY ACIDOSIS and metabolic acidosis, due to metabolic acid build up.Complementary Therapies: Therapeutic practices which are not currently considered an integral part of conventional allopathic medical practice. They may lack biomedical explanations but as they become better researched some (PHYSICAL THERAPY MODALITIES; DIET; ACUPUNCTURE) become widely accepted whereas others (humors, radium therapy) quietly fade away, yet are important historical footnotes. Therapies are termed as Complementary when used in addition to conventional treatments and as Alternative when used instead of conventional treatment.Acidosis, Lactic: Acidosis caused by accumulation of lactic acid more rapidly than it can be metabolized.

Salivary mucin MG1 is comprised almost entirely of different glycosylated forms of the MUC5B gene product. (1/4630)

The MG1 population of mucins was isolated from human whole salivas by gel chromatography followed by isopycnic density gradient centrifugation. The reduced and alkylated MG1 mucins, separated by anion exchange chromatography, were of similar size (radius of gyration 55-64 nm) and molecular weight (2.5-2.9 x 10(6) Da). Two differently-charged populations of MG1 subunits were observed which showed different reactivity with monoclonal antibodies to glycan epitopes. Monosaccharide and amino acid compositional analyses indicated that the MG1 subunits had similar glycan structures on the same polypeptide. An antiserum recognizing the MUC5B mucin was reactive across the entire distribution, whereas antisera raised against the MUC2 and MUC5AC mucins showed no reactivity. Western blots of agarose gel electrophoresis of fractions across the anion exchange distribution indicated that the polypeptide underlying the mucins was the product of the MUC5B gene. Amino acid analysis and peptide mapping performed on the fragments produced by trypsin digestion of the two MG1 populations yielded data similar to that obtained for MUC5B mucin subunits prepared from respiratory mucus (Thornton et al., 1997) and confirmed that the MUC5B gene product was the predominant mucin polypeptide present. Isolation of the MG1 mucins from the secretions of the individual salivary glands (palatal, sublingual, and submandibular) indicate that the palatal gland is the source of the highly charged population of the MUC5B mucin.  (+info)

Salivary contribution to exhaled nitric oxide. (2/4630)

Dietary and metabolic nitrate is distributed from the blood to the saliva by active uptake in the salivary glands, and is reduced to nitrite in the oral cavity by the action of certain bacteria. Since it has been reported that nitric oxide may be formed nonenzymatically from nitrite this study aimed to determine whether salivary nitrite could influence measurements of exhaled NO. Ten healthy subjects fasted overnight and ingested 400 mg potassium nitrate, equivalent to approximately 200 g spinach. Exhaled NO and nasal NO were regularly measured with a chemiluminescence technique up to 3 h after the ingestion. Measurements of exhaled NO were performed with a single-breath procedure, standardized to a 20-s exhalation, at a flow of 0.15 L x s(-1), and oral pressure of 8-10 cmH2O. Values of NO were registered as NO release rate (pmol x s(-1)) during the plateau of exhalation. Exhaled NO increased steadily over time after nitrate load and a maximum was seen at 120 min (77.0+/-15.2 versus 31.2+/-3.0 pmol x s(-1), p<0.01), whereas no increase was detected in nasal NO levels. Salivary nitrite concentrations increased in parallel; at 120 min there was a four-fold increase compared with baseline (1.56+/-0.44 versus 0.37+/-0.09 mM, p<0.05). The nitrite-reducing conditions in the oral cavity were also manipulated by the use of different mouthwash procedures. The antibacterial agent chlorhexidine acetate (0.2%) decreased NO release by almost 50% (p<0.01) 90 min after nitrate loading and reduced the preload control levels by close to 30% (p<0.05). Sodium bicarbonate (10%) also reduced exhaled NO levels, but to a somewhat lesser extent than chlorhexidine acetate. In conclusion, salivary nitric oxide formation contributes to nitric oxide in exhaled air and a large intake of nitrate-rich foods before the investigation might be misinterpreted as an elevated inflammatory activity in the airways. This potential source of error and the means for avoiding it should be considered in the development of a future standardized method for measurements of exhaled nitric oxide.  (+info)

Decreased IgA1 response after primary oral immunization with live typhoid vaccine in primary IgA nephropathy. (3/4630)

INTRODUCTION: Patients with primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN) have an increased level of immunological memory to certain parenteral recall antigens. We recently found a deficient IgA1 immune response after intranasal challenge with a neo-antigen: cholera toxin subunit B. In the present study, we assessed the specific IgA1 and IgA2 antibody response in plasma, peripheral blood cells and mucosal secretions after primary enteral immunization. METHODS: Twenty eight IgAN patients, 26 patients with non-immunological renal disease and 32 healthy subjects were immunized orally with three sequential doses of live, attenuated, Salmonella typhi Ty21a. The humoral immune response in body fluids and antibody synthesis by circulating B cells was assessed in specific ELISAs and ELIPSAs respectively. RESULTS: Oral immunization resulted in significantly (P<0.0001) increased IgM, IgG, IgA, IgA1 and IgA2 responses in all groups, both in plasma and in circulating B cells in vitro. The IgA1 response in plasma was significantly (P<0.05) lower in IgAN patients, while no significant differences in IgM (P=0.36), IgG (P= 0.79) or IgA2 (P=0.45) responses were found as compared with matched control groups. The amount of IgA1 synthesized by circulating B cells tended to be lower in IgAN patients. No significant IgA response after oral immunization with S. typhi Ty21a was found in saliva (P=0.11) or tears (P=0.10). CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest an IgA1 hyporesponsiveness in patients with IgAN that is not only apparent after primary challenge of the nasal-associated lymphoid tissue but also after presentation to the gut. Previous results after parenteral recall immunization may be explained by assuming that IgAN patients require more frequent and/or longer exposure to IgA1-inducing antigens on their mucosal surfaces before they reach protective mucosal immunity. As a consequence, overproduction of IgA1 antibodies occurs in the systemic compartment, accompanied by an increased number of IgA1 memory cells.  (+info)

Undetectable urinary free cortisol concentrations in a case of Cushing's disease. (4/4630)

Measurement of the 24-h urinary free cortisol is a valuable screening test of endogenous hypercortisolism and, although false positive results may occur in a few situations, for example endogenous depression, false negative results are unusual. We report a case of a 48-year-old lady with pituitary-dependent Cushing's disease, whose 24-h urinary free cortisol excretion was consistently undetectable in association with increased plasma and salivary cortisol concentrations and reduced dexamethasone suppressibility. The patient had chronic renal impairment (creatinine clearance 21 ml/min) as a consequence of hypertension, despite only modestly increased urea and creatinine concentrations. Urinary free cortisol measurements must be interpreted with caution in patients with renal impairment.  (+info)

Pathogenesis of cancrum oris (noma): confounding interactions of malnutrition with infection. (5/4630)

This study showed that impoverished Nigerian children at risk for cancrum oris (noma) had significantly reduced plasma concentrations of zinc (< 10.8 micromol/L), retinol (< 1.05 micromol/L), ascorbate (< 11 micromol/L), and the essential amino acids, with prominently increased plasma and saliva levels of free cortisol, compared with their healthy counterparts. The nutrient deficiencies, in concert with previously reported widespread viral infections (measles, herpesviruses) in the children, would impair oral mucosal immunity. We postulate, subject to additional studies, that evolution of the oral mucosal ulcers including acute necrotizing gingivitis to noma is triggered by a consortium of microorganisms of which Fusobacterium necrophorum is a key component. Fusobacterium necrophorum elaborates several dermonecrotic toxic metabolites and is acquired by the impoverished children via fecal contamination resulting from shared residential facilities with animals and very poor environmental sanitation.  (+info)

Human immunodeficiency virus antibody testing by enzyme-linked fluorescent and western blot assays using serum, gingival-crevicular transudate, and urine samples. (6/4630)

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible utilization of saliva and urine as alternative samples to serum for the diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. A total of 302 individuals participated in the study: 187 HIV-infected individuals (106 had Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] stage II infection, 19 had CDC stage III infection, and 62 had CDC stage IV infection) and 115 noninfected persons (46 of the noninfected persons were blood donors and 69 belonged to a group at high risk of HIV infection). Paired saliva and urine samples were taken from each of the participants in the study. The presence of HIV-specific antibodies was detected by an enzyme-linked fluorescent assay (ELFA), and the result was confirmed by Western blot analysis (WB). The ELFA with saliva gave maximum sensitivity and specificity values, while ELFA had lower sensitivity (95.2%) and specificity (97. 4%) values for detection of HIV antibody in urine samples. WB with all saliva samples fulfilled the World Health Organization criterion for positivity, while only 96.8% of the urine samples were confirmed to be positive by WB. Among the four reactivity patterns found by WB of these alternative samples, the most frequent included bands against three groups of HIV structural proteins (was ENV, POL, and GAG). The reactivity bands most frequently observed were those for the proteins gp160 and gp120. The least common reactivity band was the band for protein p17. The detection of HIV antibodies in saliva samples by means of ELFA with the possibility of later confirmation by WB makes saliva an alternative to serum for possible use in the diagnosis of infection. In contrast, HIV antibody detection in urine samples by the same methodology (ELFA) could be taken into consideration for use in epidemiological studies.  (+info)

Human herpesvirus 8 seroprevalence and evaluation of nonsexual transmission routes by detection of DNA in clinical specimens from human immunodeficiency virus-seronegative patients from central and southern Italy, with and without Kaposi's sarcoma. (7/4630)

In order to investigate the seroprevalence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection in central and southern Italy, sera from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-seronegative subjects, with and without Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), were analyzed by immunofluorescence assay, using BC-3, a cell line latently infected with HHV-8. High titers of antibody against HHV-8 lytic and latent antigens were detected in all 50 KS patients studied, while in 50 HIV-seronegative subjects without KS, 32 (64%) were found positive for HHV-8 antibodies. Titers in the sera of these patients were lower than those for KS patients. This data suggests that HHV-8 infection is not restricted to KS patients and that the prevalence of HHV-8 infection in the general population may be correlated with differing rates of prevalence of KS in different parts of the world. In view of these findings, possible nonsexual transmission routes were evaluated. Nested PCR was used to test for the presence of HHV-8 DNA in saliva, urine, and tonsillar swabs from KS and non-KS patients. In KS patients, 14 out of 32 tonsillar swabs (43.7%), 11 out of 24 saliva samples (45.8%), and just 2 out of 24 urine samples (8.3%) tested positive for HHV-8 DNA. In the control group, on the contrary, none of the 20 saliva and 20 urine specimens was positive for HHV-8 DNA; only 1 out of 22 tonsillar swabs gave a positive result. This data supports the hypothesis that HHV-8 infects the general population in a latent form. The reactivation of viral infection may result in salivary shedding of HHV-8, contributing to viral spread by nonsexual transmission routes.  (+info)

Fungal prophylaxis by reduction of fungal colonization by oral administration of bovine anti-Candida antibodies in bone marrow transplant recipients. (8/4630)

Candida overgrowth and invasion constitute a serious threat with a high mortality in BMT recipients. Currently available topical antifungal prophylaxis is largely ineffective, and as resistance to existing, absorbable drugs for systemic use is rapidly developing, new forms of therapy are needed. We investigated the effect of oral treatment of BMT recipients with a bovine immunoglobulin product derived from animals immunized against several Candida species. The natural Candida colonization was first followed in 19 patients to establish the colonization pattern. Half of the patients were found to be colonized prior to transplantation and altogether 72% were colonized at some point during follow-up. Those with a high pre-transplant concentration of Candida in saliva (>100 CFU/ml) remained colonized throughout the BMT treatment period. The therapeutic effect was monitored in two other patient groups. The first group consisted of nine patients, where, due to a low number of primary colonized patients, response in colonized patients was suggestive of a therapeutic effect. In the second group, 10 patients with a high level of colonization (>100 CFU/ml) were given 10 g daily of the product in three divided doses. The results suggest a treatment-related reduction in Candida colonization in a majority (7/10) of patients and one patient became completely negative. As no adverse effects were noted, our findings encourage additional studies in immunocompromised, transplant patients.  (+info)

The Cortisol Awakening Response in Patients with Poststroke Depression Is Blunted and Negatively Correlated with Depressive MoodThe Cortisol Awakening Response in Patients with Poststroke Depression Is Blunted and Negatively Correlated with Depressive Mood
It is important to reduce poststroke depression (PSD) to improve the stroke outcomes and quality of life in stroke patients, but the underlying mechanisms of PSD are not completely understood. As many studies implicate dysregulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in the etiology of major depression and stroke, we compared the cortisol awakening response (CAR) of 28 admitted PSD patients with that of 23 age-matched caregiver controls. Saliva samples for cortisol measurement were collected immediately, 15, 30, and 45 min after awakening for two consecutive days. Depressive mood status in PSD patients was determined with Beck Depression Inventory and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Salivary cortisol levels of PSD patients did not rise significantly at any sampling time, showing a somewhat flat curve. Caregiver controls showed significantly higher CAR at 15 and 30 min after awakening compared to PSD patients even though the two groups did not differ at awakening or 45 min
Salivary Biomarkers for Clinical Applications | SpringerLinkSalivary Biomarkers for Clinical Applications | SpringerLink
For clinical applications such as monitoring health status, disease onset and progression, and treatment outcome, there are three necessary prerequisites: (i) a simple method for collecting biologic samples, ideally noninvasively; (ii) specific biomarkers associated with health or disease; and (iii) a technology platform to rapidly utilize the biomarkers. Saliva, often regarded as the mirror of the body, is a perfect surrogate medium to be applied for clinical diagnostics. Saliva is readily accessible via a totally noninvasive method. Salivary biomarkers, whether produced by healthy individuals or by individuals affected by specific diseases, are sentinel molecules that could be used to scrutinize health and disease surveillance. The visionary investment by the US National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, the discovery of salivary biomarkers, and the ongoing development of salivary diagnostic technologies have addressed its diagnostic value for clinical applications.

A gel-based proteomics approach was used to screen for proteins of differential abundance between the saliva of smokers and those who had never smoked. Subjecting precipitated proteins from whole human saliva of healthy non-smokers to two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) generated typical profiles comprising more than 50 proteins. While 35 of the proteins were previously established by other researchers, an additional 22 proteins were detected in the 2-DE saliva protein profiles generated in the present study. When the 2-DE profiles were compared to those obtained from subjects considered to be heavy cigarette smokers, three saliva proteins, including interleukin-1 receptor antagonist, thioredoxin and lipocalin-1, showed significant enhanced expression. The distribution patterns of lipocalin-1 isoforms were also different between cigarette smokers and on-smokers. The three saliva proteins have good potential to be used as biomarkers for the adverse effects of smoking and the risk for inflammatory and

AIMS--To assess the reliability of saliva samples as a means of testing for HIV-antibodies outside clinic settings. METHODS--Men taking part in a non-clinic longitudinal study of homosexually active men provided samples of saliva and blood. Sera were screened using a competitive ELISA (Wellcozyme) and positive sera were confirmed by an indirect ELISA (Abbott). Saliva samples were screened either using an IgG captive radioimmunoassay or an amplified ELISA. RESULTS--A total of 534 paired saliva and blood samples were tested. Overall sensitivity was 96.2% and specificity was 100%. None of the saliva tests were falsely positive for HIV-1 antibodies. CONCLUSIONS--HIV-1 saliva tests can reliably be used in a non-clinic or field setting. However, if results are to be given to respondents, it is necessary to offer adequate counselling and consider the mechanisms for referral and follow-up for those that are found to be HIV-1 antibody positive.. ...

Evaluation of Tissue Expression and Salivary Levels of HER2/neu in Patients with Head and Neck Squamous cell CarcinomaEvaluation of Tissue Expression and Salivary Levels of HER2/neu in Patients with Head and Neck Squamous cell Carcinoma
Introduction: HER2/neu, a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family, has been shown to be over-expressed in some tumors. The purpose of this study was to determine the salivary levels and tissue expression of HER2/neu in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and their correlation with clinicopathologic parameters. Materials and Methods: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were used to evaluate the salivary levels of HER2/neu and immunohistochemistry was used to measure tissue expression of HER2/neu in 28 patients with HNSCC and 25 healthy control subjects. Results: The salivary levels of HER2/neu in patients with HNSCC were not significantly higher compared to healthy control subjects. There was no apparent correlation between salivary HER2/neu levels and clinicopathological features such as age, sex, tumor grade, tumor size and nodal status. All HNSCC specimens were positive (membranous or/and cytoplasmic) for HER2/neu, except one sample. Only one

Two rapid methods for the detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in saliva from congenitally and perinatally infected children were assessed by comparison with traditional virus isolation in tissue culture (TC). The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to amplify a 300-bp segment of the CMV gB gene which was detected in ethidium bromide-stained agarose gels. A centrifugation-enhanced microtiter culture method with a monoclonal antibody for the detection of early-antigen fluorescent foci (DEAFF) was also used. Saliva specimens were collected with mouth swabs from children who were between the ages of 1 month and 14 years and who had either prenatal or perinatal CMV infection. One hundred sixty samples were tested by PCR and TC; 65 (40.6%) were found positive by TC, and 58 (36.8%) were found positive by PCR. Although four samples were found positive by PCR and negative by TC, saliva from seronegative and seropositive TC-negative adults were never found positive by PCR. One hundred fifty-two ...

An adrenal saliva test can measure Hashimotos hypothyroidism progress - Functional Health NewsAn adrenal saliva test can measure Hashimoto's hypothyroidism progress - Functional Health News
By measuring circadian rhythm, precursor hormones (DHEA and 17 hydroxyprogesterone), and cortisol levels, the adrenal saliva test can tell you whether you are in the "alarm reaction" of high adrenal hormones, in adrenal exhaustion, or somewhere in between. Contrary to popular belief, one does not necessarily progress from alarm reaction to adrenal fatigue; adrenal function can jump around between phases, or stay in one phase for years.. The adrenal saliva test also measures total SIgA (secretory antibodies). SIgA levels measure the impact of stress on the immune system. When SIgA is low, it means a person is more susceptible to food intolerances, infections, and other assaults on the immune system. This is important to know when managing your Hashimotos hypothyroidism.. A variety of herbal and nutritional compounds can profoundly influence adrenal function, but they are not the first line of defense. You and your doctor must first ferret out what is causing your adrenal stress and make ...

Current evidence on the therapeutic management of primary-2002 SjS patients is based on 9 RCTs (only four including ≥100 patients randomised to drug/PLA), 18 prospective cohort studies (all including ≤30 patients per study) and 5 case-control studies.. For oral topical therapies, available evidence is limited to five studies carried out in SjS patients (only one in primary-2002 patients) and one Cochrane SLR that assessed the management of dry mouth. Xerostomia is a subjective symptom with wide interindividual variation, and a satisfactory output of unstimulated whole saliva in one patient may lead another to complain of symptoms of dry mouth. All studies have shown significant within-group improvement in comparison with baseline subjective oral outcomes. Mechanical stimulation (chewing gum) was associated with increased saliva production in patients with residual capacity, but there is no evidence that gum may have more or less efficacy than saliva substitutes in reducing dry mouth ...
Saliva: The Unsung Hero Of Oral Health | LAKE CREEK DENTALSaliva: The Unsung Hero Of Oral Health | LAKE CREEK DENTAL
Our bodies make two to four pints of saliva a day. That means that over a lifetime, a person will create enough saliva to fill two swimming pools! So, why is saliva important? Well, theres more than one answer to that. Besides allowing us to give wet willies or make spit wads when we were kids, our saliva has many important functions.. First, saliva aids in digestion. It begins the process of breaking down food and helps us chew, taste and swallow. In fact, without our spit, we wouldnt be able to taste at all!. Additionally, saliva is essential to maintaining our oral health. Our spit contains antimicrobial agents that protect teeth and defend against bacteria. It also contains minerals such as calcium and phosphate that remineralize our teeth, strengthening the enamel.. Your saliva plays an especially important role after eating and drinking. It washes away that extra food and debris left in your mouth that contributes to decay. It also helps neutralize the acids created by bacteria that ...
Mason researchers developing saliva test for COVID-19 antibodies | GMU College of ScienceMason researchers developing saliva test for COVID-19 antibodies | GMU College of Science
A multidisciplinary team of George Mason University scientists is developing a saliva test to detect antibodies to COVID-19 and could begin screening student, faculty and staff volunteers as early as this summer. Mason will be one of the first universities to offer COVID-19 antibody research screening for students, faculty and staff. Screening for incoming volunteers in the fall will be coordinated by the College of Health and Human Services (CHHS) along with the College of Science (COS). "All the different parts of the Mason research ecosystem are bringing their expertise together for this worthy purpose," said Lance Liotta, the lead researcher and the co-director and co-founder of Masons Center for Applied Proteomics and Molecular Medicine (CAPMM). "The goal is to evaluate if saliva can be used instead of blood for ease of screening for COVID-19 antibodies." The project is an extension of an ongoing international collaboration with Italian microbiologists directed by Alessandra Luchini, the ...
Array-Based Whole-Genome Survey of Dog Saliva DNA Yields High Quality SNP DataArray-Based Whole-Genome Survey of Dog Saliva DNA Yields High Quality SNP Data
Background Genome-wide association scans for genetic loci underlying both Mendelian and complex traits are increasingly common in canine genetics research. However, the demand for high-quality DNA for use on such platforms creates challenges for traditional blood sample ascertainment. Though the use of saliva as a means of collecting DNA is common in human studies, alternate means of DNA collection for canine research have instead been limited to buccal swabs, from which dog DNA is of insufficient quality and yield for use on most high-throughput array-based systems. We thus investigated an animal-based saliva collection method for ease of use and quality of DNA obtained and tested the performance of saliva-extracted canine DNA on genome-wide genotyping arrays. Methodology/Principal Findings Overall, we found that saliva sample collection using this method was efficient. Extractions yielded high concentrations (∼125 ng/ul) of high-quality DNA that performed equally well as blood-extracted DNA on the

BACKGROUND:. OBJECTIVE: Hundreds of scientific publications are produced annually that involve the measurement of cortisol in saliva. Intra- and inter-laboratory variation in salivary cortisol results has the potential to contribute to cross-study inconsistencies in findings, and the perception that salivary cortisol results are unreliable. This study rigorously estimates sources of measurement variability in the assay of salivary cortisol within and between established international academic-based laboratories that specialize in saliva analyses. One hundred young adults (Mean age: 23.10 years; 62 females) donated 2 mL of whole saliva by passive drool. Each sample was split into multiple- 100 µL aliquots and immediately frozen. One aliquot of each of the 100 participants saliva was transported to academic laboratories (N = 9) in the United States, Canada, UK, and Germany and assayed for cortisol by the same commercially available immunoassay.. RESULTS: 1.76% of the variance in salivary ...

The very small concentrations of salivary hormones (only 1 - 5% of the total hormone levels that include protein-bound hormone found in serum) necessitate extremely sensitive assay methods. This is a particular issue for estrogens, which are present in very minute quantities in saliva, especially in older populations such as postmenopausal women. ZRT is unique as the only commercial laboratory using extracted saliva testing for estrogens. Extraction removes contaminants that interfere with the assay and concentrates the sample, significantly improving assay sensitivity compared to the "direct" assay methods available commercially14. In fact, poor correlations between serum tests and non-extraction salivary estradiol assays have unfortunately led to some skepticism about saliva testing. Also, because of the extremely sensitive assays, it is important to avoid blood contamination of saliva as a result of oral injury, therefore tooth brushing must be avoided before collecting saliva for testing. ...

Six Ways Saliva Helps Your Mouth and Body Stay Healthy - Delaura DentalSix Ways Saliva Helps Your Mouth and Body Stay Healthy - Delaura Dental
While it doesnt garner the star power of blood, saliva is still an important bodily fluid. A true multi-tasker, saliva contributes in many ways to the function and health of the body, from stronger teeth to more efficient digestion.. Here are six ways saliva helps your mouth and body function properly and stay healthy.. The mouths natural cleanser. Bacteria are responsible for much of the dental disease that plagues us, particularly tooth decay and gum disease. Saliva clears the mouth of food remnants, bacterias primary feeding source, after we eat. This leaves a cleaner mouth and fewer bacteria to cause infection.. The immune systems partner. Saliva contains an antibody called Immunoglobulin A (IgA) that attacks disease-causing microorganisms. Along with secreting other antibacterial agents like lactoferrin and lyzozyme that curb the growth and development of bacteria, saliva serves as the bodys first line of defense against pathogens entering through the mouth.. Acid neutralizer. The ...
Saliva testing - WikipediaSaliva testing - Wikipedia
Saliva testing is a diagnostic technique that involves laboratory analysis of saliva to identify markers of endocrine, immunologic, inflammatory, infectious, and other types of conditions. Saliva is a useful biological fluid for assaying steroid hormones such as cortisol, genetic material like RNA, proteins such as enzymes and antibodies, and a variety of other substances, including natural metabolites, including saliva nitrite, a biomarker for nitric oxide status (see below for Cardiovascular Disease, Nitric Oxide: a salivary biomarker for cardio-protection). Saliva testing is used to screen for or diagnose numerous conditions and disease states, including Cushings disease, anovulation, HIV, cancer, parasites, hypogonadism, and allergies. Salivary testing has even been used by the U.S. government to assess circadian rhythm shifts in astronauts before flight and to evaluate hormonal profiles of soldiers undergoing military survival training. Proponents of saliva testing cite its ease of ...

New York, Dec 13 (IANS) A non-invasive saliva test can detect human papilloma virus-16 - the strain associated with oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) - showing promise for earlier and easier detection of mouth and throat cancer, report researchers.. The novel technique detected OPC in whole saliva in 40 per cent of patients tested and 80 per cent of confirmed OPC patients.. OPC has an approximate incidence of 115,000 cases per year worldwide and is one of the fastest-rising cancers owing to increasing HPV-related incidence, especially in younger patients.. "It is paramount that surveillance methods are developed to improve early detection and outcomes," said co-lead investigator Tony Jun Huang from Duke University in the US.. Cancers that occur in the back of the mouth and upper throat are often not diagnosed until they become advanced, partly because their location makes them difficult to see during routine clinical exams..

How to Clean and Reduce Plaque With Saliva | Intelligent DentalHow to Clean and Reduce Plaque With Saliva | Intelligent Dental
The salivary defensive system functions continuously, but its secretion becomes greatest and most active during foodstuff ingestion. For the rest of the day, although the salivary flow is low, it is extremely important. In healthy individuals at rest (with no stimulated saliva), there is a constant slow flow of saliva which moistens and helps to protect the teeth, tongue and the cells in the mouth. It has the lowest flow rate during the sleep period of the daily 24-hour cycle. Since a greatly reduced saliva flow with plaque and food debris provides ideal conditions for cavities, the most important time of the day to clean teeth is at night before going to sleep.. The defense functions of the saliva are part of the total bodys ability to maintain homeostasis, for example the ability to resist routine daily challenges by chemical and bacterial agents, and to repair limited amounts of tissue damage typical of the wear and tear of daily life. It is only when the bacterial challenge exceeds the ...

Several investigators have recently shown interest in measuring the HIV-RNA level in different mucosal compartments, including seminal plasma [1-4] and saliva [1,4,5]. However, techniques are poorly standardized and range widely in sensitivity. In addition, whereas the quantification of HIV-1 in the semen and the impact of highly active antiretroviral therapy (ART) on the viral load of seminal plasma have been relatively well documented [6-9], similar features have not been studied so extensively in the saliva compartment.. A total of 46 sets of samples of blood, semen and saliva were taken on the same day from 40 HIV-1-infected men (aged 21-64 years) after written informed consent was obtained. Thirty-three of the men had been undergoing antiretroviral therapy for at least 3 months: with two and three drugs in 11 and 18 cases, respectively. The semen and saliva specimens were diluted (v/v) in phosphate buffered saline and centrifuged; all supernatants were stored at −80°C until use. Blood ...

Objectives: Few studies have addressed the natural course of, or prognostic factors for the salivary and lacrimal function in primary Sjögrens syndrome (SS). Except for early stages, glandular function has been seemingly stable, and SSA seropositivity and hypocomplementemia may predict a decline in the van Bijsterveld score. The aim of the present study was to assess the natural course of the exocrine function in a larger cohort based on the American-European consensus criteria for SS, and to address possible predictive factors for a declining exocrine function.. Methods: Retrospective cohort study. 141 patients were investigated with the Schirmers I test and unstimulated whole saliva (UWS). Historical data regarding these tests and focus score were collected from the files of 111 patients. Median time from diagnosis to follow-up investigation was 5.0 years..

This image shows Xinshu (Grace) Xiao and David Wong in Dr. Wongs laboratory.. (Photo Credit: Reed Hutchinson/UCLA). Circular RNAs function in saliva is not entirely understood, although it does serve as a sponge for tiny RNA molecules called microRNAs, which bind to it.. "Circular RNAs in saliva may be protecting other RNAs," said Xiao, who also is a faculty member in the UCLA College and a member of UCLAs Molecular Biology Institute. Its likely, she said, that circular RNAs in saliva protect microRNAs from being degraded.. MicroRNAs, which once seemed to be little more than molecular noise, play important roles in many cell types, and have been implicated in cancers and other diseases, Xiao said. One microRNA can regulate hundreds of genes, she said.. The scientists compared microRNA levels in saliva to those in the blood and other body fluids, and found the levels of microRNA in blood and in saliva are very similar - indicating that a saliva sample would be a good measure of microRNAs in ...

Saliva Hormone TestsSaliva Hormone Tests
Saliva is produced primarily by the parotid, sublingual and submandibular glands. Salivary fluid may contain various amounts of hormones, depending on the ability of these hormones to leave the blood, penetrate through or around the salivary cell membranes, and diffuse into the saliva. Lipid-soluble hormones can pass directly through cell membranes via passive diffusion and are commonly found in the saliva. Small, water-soluble hormones may be able to enter the saliva through the tight junctions between salivary cells in a process called ultrafiltration. Salivary cells do not appear to use active transport to place hormones into the saliva.. Salivary tests may help to identify hormonal imbalances in either females or males which can occur at any age and effect how a person feels on a daily basis. The slightest dysfunction of an individuals hormones can result in weight gain, mood changes, low libido, poor memory or concentration, depression, bone loss, migraines or headaches and sleep ...
Salivary testosterone levels in preadolescent children | BMC Pediatrics | Full TextSalivary testosterone levels in preadolescent children | BMC Pediatrics | Full Text
The most of studies on salivary testosterone in children dealt with the onset of puberty in boys [7-9, 13]. Only few reports are available as far as salivary testosterone in younger healthy preadolescent children are concerned, though the first reports on determination of testosterone in saliva appeared as early as in seventies [6]. This is mainly due to the fact that availability of assays with sufficient sensitivity is restricted. In Butlers study [7] salivary testosterone in 84 boys was determined, but only 11 subjects were younger then 10 years. In Albertson-Wiklands study [18] 12 prepubertal boys were examined. In the recent report of Granger et al. [14] 90 boys and 85 girls aging 8-12 years have been investigated for salivary testosterone by adapting a commercially available serum testosterone kit, reaching the detection limit below 1 pg/ml.. In our study of 126 boys and 77 girls the younger age categories were investigated. The youngest age categories numerically overrepresented the ...

A nationally representative survey of the US population used 85.2 nmol/l (15 ng/ml) serum cotinine as a cut off for distinguishing smokers from non-smokers.17 Heavy exposure to secondhand smoke, however, may produce saliva concentrations as high as 177.8 nmol/l (31.3 ng/ml).10 Given the high exposures in bar workers,9 10 and as salivary concentrations are 25% higher than serum concentrations,18 we defined non-smokers as those who reported being former smokers or who had never smoked and had salivary cotinine concentration , 113.6 nmol/l (20 ng/ml).

Background An adverse psychological environment (e.g. stressful events or depression) has been shown to influence basal cortisol levels and cortisol response to stress. This differs depending on the adverse stimuli, but also varies across individuals and may be influenced by genetic predisposition. An insertion/deletion polymorphism in the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) is a strong candidate in this regard. Objective To investigate how stressful life events and depression are associated with diurnal cortisol levels in community-dwelling elderly and determine whether this varies according to genetic variability in the 5-HTTLPR. Methods This population-based study included 334 subjects aged 65 and older (mean (SD) = 76.5 (6.3)). Diurnal cortisol was measured on two separate days, under quiet (basal) and stressful conditions. The number of recent major stressful events experienced during the past year was assessed from a 12-item validated questionnaire as an index of cumulative recent
A mathematical study of the role of calcium in the regulation of saliva secretionA mathematical study of the role of calcium in the regulation of saliva secretion
Xerostomia is estimated to affect 30% of adults over the age of 65. The condition is characterised by a lack of saliva secretion, resulting in a range of health problems. A rise in the concentration of free cytosolic calcium (Ca²⁺) is essential to initiate saliva secretion. We construct mathematical models of saliva secretion and Ca²⁺ dynamics in salivary acinar and duct cells. We investigate how the distribution of K⁺ channels affects the rate of primary saliva secretion. Maximum saliva secretion is hypothesised to occur when a small amount of K⁺ conductance is located in the apical membrane, with the majority in the basolateral membrane. Apical K⁺ channels have since been experimentally located. For a range of applied agonist, the concentration of Ca²⁺ in salivary cells is seen experimentally to oscillate and to travel in waves across the cytosol. We construct a model of Ca2+ oscillations in parotid acinar cells that requires paired oscillations of IP₃. This ODE model ...

Background/Aim: Sampling for salivary cortisol (SC) determination is a pain free procedure and thus useful in the pediatric age group. Our aim was to compare Low Dose ACTH (LDST) salivary test with the classical blood test as well as the diurnal variation in salivary cortisol concentration for the assessment of HPA axis activity of asthmatic children on ICS.. Methods: LDST was performed in 62 asthmatic children (43 males, median age 7.9 yrs) before and after 3 months treatment with ICS. During the test, samples for SC were obtained simultaneously with serum samples (at 0-30-60 min). Patients sampled their own saliva between 09:00 and 21:00 hours (every three hours) for a whole day before and after treatment.. Results: A significant positive correlation was found between salivary and serum cortisol levels at 0 30 and 60 after ACTH administration (R:0.818, p,0.001). Circadian rhythm cortisol parameters: cortisol awakening response, mean level and range of diurnal changes, correlated with serum ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Gender differences in the validity of testosterone measured in saliva by immunoassay. AU - Shirtcliff, Elizabeth A.. AU - Granger, Douglas A.. AU - Likos, Andrea. PY - 2002/8. Y1 - 2002/8. N2 - We rigorously evaluated gender differences in the measurement validity of salivary testosterone. Matched serum, saliva, and finger stick blood spot specimens were collected from 40 (20 males) young adults (aged 18-27 years). Saliva was assayed for testosterone by two independent (isotopic and non-isotopic) immunoassay methods. Serum was assayed by commercially available immunoassay kits for free and total testosterone. An immunoassay was developed for the measurement of testosterone in dried blood spots and is presented in detail so as to be reproducible from this report. Regardless of assay method, salivary testosterone levels are modestly correlated with serum levels for males but not necessarily for females. Blood spot assay results were highly correlated with serum total and free ...
Salivary Diagnostics Can Help Bridge Systemic Health for Dental Hygienists - Todays RDHSalivary Diagnostics Can Help Bridge Systemic Health for Dental Hygienists - Today's RDH
Periodontal disease − Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory response of the periodontium to bacterial plaque deposited on teeth. Porphyromonas gingivalis is most closely associated with periodontal disease. Salivary biomarkers used for diagnosis and prognosis of periodontal disease include inflammation-mediating enzymes, epithelial keratins, immunoglobulins, salivary ions, and hormones.. Levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are elevated in periodontal disease. AST can be used as a marker to monitor periodontal disease.7 Researchers have developed saliva kits based on an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to specifically detect AST in saliva in 90 seconds with 92% sensitivity and 96% specificity.. Caries activity − Saliva has preventive functions like flushing and neutralizing the oral cavity (called salivary clearance).1 The helpful buffers in saliva are directly proportional to flow rate, meaning that low unstimulated salivary flow rate can lead ...
Roundup: Saliva Test Could Help Detect Concussions in Young PeopleRoundup: Saliva Test Could Help Detect Concussions in Young People
Researchers have found five molecules, called microRNAs, in saliva that could identify concussive symptoms in children, teens and young adults, according to a new study.. The findings focus on these microRNAs, or fragments of genetic material, that are easily detectable in blood, cerebrospinal fluid and saliva, according to the studys researchers from Penn State College of Medicine.. A test that measures microRNAs in saliva was nearly 90 percent accurate in identifying children and adolescents who had concussion symptoms persisting for at least a month, according to the study published this week in JAMA Pediatrics. That compares to a concussion survey commonly used by doctors that was right less than 70 percent of the time.. As a result of the findings in the latest study, a saliva test may someday be able to diagnose a concussion and predict how long symptoms last, particularly in young people. Concussions most often affect children, teens and young adults who dont usually demonstrate obvious ...
Diurnal saliva cortisol levels and relations to psychosocial factors in a population sample of middle-aged Swedish men and womenDiurnal saliva cortisol levels and relations to psychosocial factors in a population sample of middle-aged Swedish men and women
Whereas psychosocial risk factors increase the risk for disease, psychosocial resources reduce this risk. To examine a possible pathway for these effects, the relations between saliva cortisol levels and psychosocial factors were studied in a random sample of 257 men and women aged 30 to 64 years. Saliva samples were collected at home on waking, 30 min after waking, and in the evening. A flatter diurnal rhythm of cortisol, that is, lower deviations between awakening and evening cortisol levels, was related to high levels of psychosocial risk factors (cynicism, depression, and vital exhaustion), whereas a steeper diurnal rhythm was related to psychosocial resources (social support and coping), general health, and well-being (all p < .05). Our results support earlier suggestions that the capacity of the hypothalamic-pituitary- adrenal-axis to dynamically respond to stress is 1 pathway for observed effects of psychosocial factors regarding risk for disease development.

CONCLUSION: The reported results are in line with prior research on hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysregulation in patients suffering from somatoform disorders on the one hand (low cortisol levels) and high cortisol levels in depression on the other. It is remarkable that our sample of patients of whom all received the same diagnosis, i.e., FGD, can be subdivided according to functional gastrointestinal symptoms, which correspond to the two types of cortisol alterations. The data provide evidence for psychobiological subgroups in FGD patients. As a consequence, the predominant symptoms reported by patients with FGD should carefully be taken into account to specify (psychotherapeutic) treatment. ...

Background The composition of the salivary microbiota has been reported to differentiate between patients with periodontitis, dental caries and orally healthy individuals. To identify characteristics of diseased and healthy saliva we thus wanted to compare saliva metaproteomes from patients with periodontitis and dental caries to healthy individuals. Methods Stimulated saliva samples were collected from 10 patients with periodontitis, 10 patients with dental caries and 10 orally healthy individuals. The proteins in the saliva samples were subjected to denaturing buffer and digested enzymatically with LysC and trypsin. The resulting peptide mixtures were cleaned up by solid-phase extraction and separated online with 2 h gradients by nano-scale C18 reversed-phase chromatography connected to a mass spectrometer through an electrospray source. The eluting peptides were analyzed on a tandem mass spectrometer operated in data-dependent acquisition mode. Results We identified a total of 35,664 unique peptides

The role of saliva in oral and systemic health - Dentistry.co.ukThe role of saliva in oral and systemic health - Dentistry.co.uk
Saliva is a vital body fluid, without it, continued healthy functioning of the oral cavity would not be possible. The multiple functions of saliva relate both to its fluid characteristics and specific components. As a fluid, saliva facilitates mastication, bolus formation, swallowing, lubrication of the mucosa and speech. Specific components of saliva contribute to antimicrobial activity, buffering actions, digestion and the protection and maintenance of mucous membrane.. Its major components, water and mucin, serve as a cleansing solvent and lubricating fluid. In addition it contains digestive enzymes: lingual lipase and ptyalin (salivary amylase), mucins, and electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride). It maintains the normal antimicrobial factors, epidermal growth factor, minerals and buffering systems. It maintains normal balance of the oral flora, protecting mucosa from overgrowth of potentially pathogenic organisms, most notably Candida species. The viscosity of saliva is much higher than ...

Lower socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with higher levels of life stress, which in turn affect stress physiology. SES is related to basal cortisol and diurnal change, but it is not clear if SES is associated with cortisol reactivity to stress. To address this question, we examined the relationship between two indices of SES, parental education and concentrated neighborhood disadvantage, and the cortisol reactivity of African-American adolescents to a modified version of the Trier Social Stress Test. We found that concentrated disadvantage was associated with cortisol reactivity and this relationship was moderated by gender, such that higher concentrated disadvantage predicted higher cortisol reactivity and steeper recovery in boys but not in girls. Parental education, alone or as moderated by gender, did not predict reactivity or recovery, while neither education nor concentrated disadvantage predicted estimates of baseline cortisol. This finding is consistent with animal literature showing
Interpreting Saliva Fern Test for You! - BabyndexInterpreting Saliva Fern Test for You! - Babyndex
Every female body is experiencing a cyclical transformation every month. Depending where you are in your ovulation cycle, things change in your body. One of those is the level of estrogen, which increases near your time of ovulation. If we are able to spot this increase in estrogen, we can find out when we are entering our most fertile window - and we can find the answer in a single drop of dried saliva.. When our saliva dries, it causes crystals, but when we have increased estrogen - which happens 4-5 days before the ovulation - the crystals form a fern-shaped form. We can observe this with a dedicated handy ovulation microscope. If we put a saliva on the glass, allow it to dry and then look through the microscope, we can observe different patterns that saliva crystals make. What you would normally see are dots and circles, a full or partial fern or a combination of all the previously mentioned things. This all depends on where you are in your monthly cycle.. However, this might be somewhat ...

In man the saliva is a more or less turbid and slighty viscid fluid, generally of an alkaline reaction, and is secreted by the parotid, submaxillary,​ and sublingual glands. In the mouth the saliva is mixed with the secretion from the buccal glands. The secretions from the individual salivary glands have their own special characteristics,​ and these are not the same in all animals. In man and many animals mixed saliva, i.e, saliva composed of the secretions of all three of the salivary glands, is an important degestive fluid on account of the presence of the peculiar [[enzyme]], ptyalin ...

BACKGROUND: Targeted capture of genomic regions reduces sequencing cost while generating higher coverage by allowing biomedical researchers to focus on specific loci of interest, such as exons. Targeted capture also has the potential to facilitate the generation of genomic data from DNA collected via saliva or buccal cells. DNA samples derived from these cell types tend to have a lower human DNA yield, may be degraded from age and/or have contamination from bacteria or other ambient oral microbiota. However, thousands of samples have been previously collected from these cell types, and saliva collection has the advantage that it is a non-invasive and appropriate for a wide variety of research.RESULTS: We demonstrate successful enrichment and sequencing of 15 South African KhoeSan exomes and 2 full genomes with samples initially derived from saliva. The expanded exome dataset enables us to characterize genetic diversity free from ascertainment bias for multiple KhoeSan populations, including new ...

For the study, the authors screened 229 children younger than 3 who had ECC and 242 children who did not have them. "The whole process started in 2004 and we began in 2006," noted Dr. Yoon, an associate professor at the Columbia University School of Dentistry. The study was performed at a clinic serving the northern part of Manhattan: Harlem, Washington Heights, and Inwood. All participants had never been to a dentist and all still had all four maxillary primary incisors.. In the course of the study, a dental assistant gathered information to complete the CAT. The researchers then assessed the childs visible plaque and evidence of decalcification and caries, in addition to collecting saliva samples. They assigned plaque scores to the childs four teeth and classified them as having or not having caries.. MS levels were ascertained with unstimulated saliva samples gathered using a tongue depressor. After being pressed into an MS-selective agar medium, the samples were incubated for 48 hours. ...

The challenge of diagnosing OI in clinical practice is heightened when there is a lack of family history for the condition or its characteristic features. While bilateral blue sclerae are a phenotypic characteristic of OI, the differential diagnosis of this clinical sign includes numerous other conditions including Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Marfans syndrome. OI is a diagnosis of exclusion, and there are no minimum diagnostic criteria. The key diagnostic assessment for OI is genetic testing of blood or saliva specimens for COL1A1 mutations (6) (dermal fibroblast culture from skin biopsies (to identify pro-collagen expression) can also be useful diagnostically (2) (3)). Genotyping for suspected cases of OI is an expensive investigation and should be considered carefully in each suspected case. Genetic testing is often indicated when there is clinical suspicion of OI associated with some atypical features.

98.88%--99.49%. In May 2008, fewer false-positive tests occurred; in that month, five (0.11% of 4,749 oral fluid tests) were found to be false positive (specificity: 99.89%). During this second instance of increasing numbers of false-positive oral fluid tests, the clinics continued offering immediate follow-up finger-stick whole-blood rapid tests for all patients with reactive oral fluid tests. The usefulness of the NYC DOHMH policy was affirmed by the strong correlation between results from whole-blood rapid tests and confirmatory Western blot tests. During December 2005--May 2008, 1,720 patients had reactive oral fluid rapid tests, and definitive Western blot results were recorded for 1,664 (Figure 2). Missing Western blot results (24 patients) and inconclusive Western blot results (32 patients) were excluded from additional analysis. Of these 1,664 patients, 1,194 also provided a finger-stick specimen; 850 (71.2%) had a reactive finger-stick test, of whom 840 (98.8%) were positive by Western ...
Radioimmunologic determination of androstenedione and the effect of physical training on its levels in human blood and salivaRadioimmunologic determination of androstenedione and the effect of physical training on its levels in human blood and saliva
Abstract: A radioimmunoassay (RIA) of androstenedione in biological fluids was developed. The sensitivity of the method was 30 pg/ml. The efficiency of the standard detection in blood and saliva was 98.2%. The intra- and interassay variations were 5.6% and 12,7%, respectively. Specificity pf the antiserum was determined in cross reactions using 17 steroids. The specificity depended upon the method used, the duration of immunization and the quantity of the antigen. Mathematic methods were used for definition of optimal values of the main parameters and conditions for RIA. 60 different regimes were investigated. The influence of regular physical exercises on androstenedione content in blood and saliva was investigated in 100 athletes. Physical exercises increased androstenedione concentration in men and women blood and saliva. Concentration of androstenedione was increased 1.3- and 2.2-fold in men blood and saliva, respectively, the concentration of androstenedione was increased 1.6-fold in women ...

Association of Diurnal Patterns in Salivary Cortisol with All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality: Findings from the Whitehall II Study - J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2011 Feb 23 - We assessed all-cause, cardiovascular, and noncardiovascular death. Results: There were 139 deaths, 32 of which were deaths due to cardiovascular disease, during a mean follow-up period of 6.1 yr. Flatter slopes in cortisol decline across the day were associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio for 1 sd reduction in slope steepness 1.30; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.09-1.55). This excess mortality risk was mainly driven by an increased risk of cardiovascular deaths (hazard ratio = 1.87; 95% confidence interval = 1.32-2.64). The association with cardiovascular deaths was independent of a wide range of covariates measured at the time of cortisol assessment. There was no association between morning cortisol, the cortisol awakening response, and mortality outcomes. Conclusions: These findings ...

Dry mouth syndrome is an affection that hinders your glands and lowers the production of saliva. Although it is common that at night the mouth is a little dry, some patient can suffer from dry mouth all day. The reason can be vary, from hormones and infections to a simple bad diet. That is why one of the first things I always suggest to our patients is to keep a balanced diet. Try to eat more vegetables and fruits.. Most important of all is to keep drinking water. Try drinking at least 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. Another thing you can do to avoid having a dry mouth is to keep your distance from alcohol. Alcoholic beverages tend to dehydrate the body, thus making your mouth to produce less saliva. The same goes for tobacco, those two are the worst habit you can have if you want a healthy beautiful smile.. On the same note, be sure to be careful with sugar. I am positive that eating candies and drinking sodas it very delicious. But keep in mind that sugar can make saliva to become thi ...
