Salivary mucin MG1 is comprised almost entirely of different glycosylated forms of the MUC5B gene product. (1/1221)

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)

Biochemical and cytochemical studies on adenylate cyclase activity in the developing rat submandibular gland: differentiation of of the acinar secretory compartment. (2/1221)

To investigate membrane changes in development of the exocrine cells of the rat submandibular gland (SMG), biochemical and cytochemical studies of adenylate cyclase activity were performed on prenatal and postnatal glands. SMG rudiments and glands were studied from 15 days of gestation op to birth and 1, 2, 3, 4 and 24 weeks after birth. Glands were chemically assayed for adenylate cyclase activity using the procedures of Salomon and coworkers and cytochemically studied using a procedure which was verified biochemically. At 15-16 days of gestation basal adenylate cyclase activity was low and no staining could be observed. Adenylate cyclase activity rose six-fold from the 16th to the 18th day of gestation. Adenylate cyclase staining became evident along the surface of most of the cells of the rudiment at this time. Basal adenylate cyclase activity remained relatively constant from the 18th day of gestation up to 24 weeks of age. However, sequential changes were seen in the cytochemical localization, especially in relation to the apical plasma membrane of the developing secretory cells.  (+info)

EGF precursor mRNA and membrane-associated EGF precursor protein in rat exorbital lacrimal gland. (3/1221)

This study was designed to demonstrate the presence of epidermal growth factor (EGF) in the rat exorbital lacrimal gland. EGF precursor gene transcription was demonstrated first by RT-PCR analysis of lacrimal gland RNA using a set of specific primers and second by Northern blot analysis of rat lacrimal gland mRNA. A rabbit polyclonal antibody (rEGF2) directed against rat submaxillary gland EGF was used to detect EGF-containing proteins by RIA. Results indicate that the rat lacrimal gland does not contain detectable soluble and mature EGF but that the EGF immunoreactivity is associated with the membrane-enriched fraction. Analysis of the detergent-solubilized membrane proteins by gel filtration shows that membrane-associated EGF immunoreactivity was present as a high-molecular-mass protein. Moreover, as shown by Western blot analysis, a specific anti-rat EGF precursor antibody (ppEGF1) can immunoprecipitate a 152-kDa EGF-containing protein. Taken together, these results demonstrate for the first time both EGF precursor gene transcription and EGF precursor protein expression in a lacrimal tissue, i.e., the rat exorbital lacrimal gland. The demonstration that EGF appears to be stored only as its full-length membrane precursor may provide important information to study the regulation of its secretory process.  (+info)

Nasopharyngeal-associated lymphoreticular tissue (NALT) immunity: fimbriae-specific Th1 and Th2 cell-regulated IgA responses for the inhibition of bacterial attachment to epithelial cells and subsequent inflammatory cytokine production. (4/1221)

To investigate the antibacterial activity of mucosal Th1 and Th2 immune responses induced nasally and orally, mice were immunized with mucosal vaccine containing fimbrial protein of Porphyromonas gingivalis, a causative agent for a destructive chronic inflammation in the periodontium, and cholera toxin (CT) as mucosal adjuvant. Nasal vaccine containing low doses of fimbriae (10 micrograms) and CT (1 microgram) induced Ag-specific Th1/Th2-type response in CD4+ T cells in mucosal effector tissues, including nasal passage and submandibular glands, which accounted for the generation of Ag-specific IgA-producing cells. In contrast, oral immunization required higher amounts of fimbriae and CT for the induction of Ag-specific IgA responses. Fimbriae-specific IgA mAbs generated from submandibular glands of nasally immunized mice inhibited P. gingivalis attachment to and reduced subsequent inflammatory cytokine production from epithelial cells. These findings suggest that nasal vaccination is an effective immunization regimen for the induction of Ag-specific Th1 and Th2 cell-driven IgA immune responses that possess the ability to inhibit bacterial attachment to epithelial cells and subsequent inflammatory cytokine production.  (+info)

Dynamics of parenchymal cell division, differentiation, and apoptosis in the young adult female mouse submandibular gland. (5/1221)

The submandibular salivary gland of the young adult female mouse has two secretory cell types, acinar and granular duct, which are separated by intercalated ducts. Based on the occurrence of autologous cell division in these cells, they have been traditionally classified as expanding populations. However, differentiation from stem or progenitor cells in the intercalated ducts, usually associated with renewing populations, has also been detected. The question of renewing or expanding populations is resolved by quantitating and integrating the rates of autologous cell division, differentiation, and apoptosis for each cell type. The integrated data shows that both acinar and granular duct cell populations exhibit a substantial positive growth index, whereas the growth index for the intercalated duct cells is moderately negative. On balance, it suggests that the submandibular gland of the young adult female mouse is still growing. Comparison of young female mice with older females suggests that, although overall parenchymal growth slows with age, there is no longer a net loss of intercalated duct cells. Comparison with young adult male submandibular glands indicates that gender differences exist in the rates and mechanisms used for maintaining the different cell populations. The acinar and granular duct cell populations in young adult female mouse submandibular glands are expanding at the expense of the intercalated duct cell population, which appears to be contracting.  (+info)

Caffeine does not inhibit substance P-evoked intracellular Ca2+ mobilization in rat salivary acinar cells. (6/1221)

We used the Ca2+-sensitive fluorescent dye fura 2, together with measurements of intracellular D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate [Ins(1,4,5)P3], to assess the inhibitory effects of caffeine on signal transduction via G protein-coupled receptor pathways in isolated rat mandibular salivary acinar cells. ACh, norepinephrine (NE), and substance P (SP) all evoked substantial increases in the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). Responses to ACh and NE were markedly inhibited by prior application of 20 mM caffeine. The inhibitory effect of caffeine was not reproduced by phosphodiesterase inhibition with IBMX or addition of cell-permeant dibutyryl cAMP. In contrast to the ACh and NE responses, the [Ca2+]i response to SP was unaffected by caffeine. Despite this, SP and ACh appeared to mobilize Ca2+ from a common intracellular pool. Measurements of agonist-induced changes in Ins(1,4,5)P3 levels confirmed that caffeine inhibited the stimulus-response coupling pathway at a point before Ins(1,4,5)P3 generation. Caffeine did not, however, inhibit [Ca2+]i responses evoked by direct activation of G proteins with 40 mM F-. These data show that caffeine inhibits G protein-coupled signal transduction in these cells at some element that is common to the muscarinic and alpha-adrenergic signaling pathways but is not shared by the SP signaling pathway. We suggest that this element might be a specific structural motif on the G protein-coupled muscarinic and alpha-adrenergic receptors.  (+info)

Cloning of Trp1beta isoform from rat brain: immunodetection and localization of the endogenous Trp1 protein. (7/1221)

The Trp gene product has been proposed as a candidate protein for the store-operated Ca2+ channel, but the Trp protein(s) has not been identified in any nonexcitable cell. We report here the cloning of a rat brain Trp1beta cDNA and detection and immunolocalization of the endogenous and expressed Trp1 protein. A 400-bp product, with >95% homology to mouse Trp1, was amplified from rat submandibular gland RNA. Rat-specific primers were used for cloning of a full-length rat brain Trp1beta cDNA (rTrp1), encoding a protein of 759 amino acids. Northern blot analysis demonstrated the transcript in several rat and mouse tissues. The peptide (amino acids 523-536) was used to generate a polyclonal antiserum. The affinity-purified antibody 1) immunoprecipitated human Trp1 (hTrp1) from transfected HEK-293 cells, 2) reacted with a protein of approximately 92 kDa, but not with hTrp3, in membranes of hTrp3-expressing HEK-293 cells, and 3) reacted with proteins of 92 and 56 kDa in human and rat brain membranes. Confocal microscopy and cell fractionation demonstrated that endogenous and expressed hTrp1 and expressed hTrp3 proteins were localized in the plasma membrane of HEK-293 cells, consistent with their proposed role in Ca2+ influx. The data demonstrate for the first time the presence of Trp1 protein in a nonexcitable cell.  (+info)

Occurrence of permanent changes in vaginal and uterine epithelia in mice treated neonatally with progestin, estrogen and aromatizable or non-aromatizable androgens. (8/1221)

Female mice of the C57 Black/Tw strain were injected daily with 100 microng testosterone, 50 microng testosterone propionate (TP), 100 microng 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (DHT) or 50 microng 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone propionate (DHTP), for 10 days from the day of birth. Two other groups of female mice were given neonatal injections with 20 microng estradiol-17 beta and 100 microng progesterone for 10 days, respectively. All mice were ovariectomized at 60 days of age and killed at 90 days. In 100% of neonatally estrogenized or androgenized, ovariectomized mice, the cranial part of the vagina was lined with stratified epithelium with either cornification or parakeratosis or mucification. Stratification only or stratification with superficial squamous metaplasia or cornification took place in the uterine epithelia of 18% of the TP-treated, 75% of the DHT-treated and 50% of the DHTP-treated, ovariectomized mice. In contrast, neonatally estrogenized, ovariectomized mice did not show the estrogen-independent, persistent uterine changes. Neonatal progesterone treatment failed to induce the permanent changes in the vaginal and uterine epithelia.  (+info)

Background: The purpose of the present study was to elucidate whether myoepithelial cells proliferate mitotically during regeneration of rat submandibular glands after atrophy.. Methods: The excretory duct of the right submandibular gland of rats was doubly ligated near the hilum with metal clips, which were removed after 7 days of ligation (day 0). The regenerating right submandibular glands were removed from 0 to 14 days after removal of the clips. The removed tissue was examined with immunohistochemical double staining for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) as a marker of proliferating cells and actin as a marker of myoepithelial cells, as well as with transmission electron microscopy (TEM).. Results: The PCNA-positive myoepithelial cells were observed at the periphery of transitional duct-acinar structures, ducts and acini in the regenerating glands at every time-point, and the PCNA-labeling index of myoepithelial cells increased greatly especially between day 2 and 4. The mitosis of ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Calcium‐dependent enhancement by carbachol of the VIP‐induced cyclic AMP accumulation in cat submandibular gland. AU - ENYEDI, PETER. AU - FREDHOLM, BERTIL B.. PY - 1984/4. Y1 - 1984/4. N2 - The interaction of two coexisting transmitters in the cat submandibular gland has been elucidated by studying effects of VIP and carbachol on cyclic AMP accumulation in isolated acini from the gland. Carbachol was found to potentiate the cyclic AMP increase induced by VIP by an atropine sensitive mechanism. The effect of carbachol on cyclic AMP accumulation was abolished by including EGTA in the incubation medium as was the carbachol mediated potentiation of VIP responses. The calmodulin inhibitor trifluoperazine had a similar, but less marked effect. The effect of carbachol was mimicked by phenylephrine (30 μM) and by the calcium inophore A 23187 (3 μM), and also by ethanol in a concentration reported to enhance membrane fluidity. The phospholipase A2 inhibitor, mepacrine, tended to ...
The aim of this research I to determine, at the ultrastructural level, the localization and distribution of individual sugar sugar moieties and terminal sialylated sequences of the secretory products of the mouse SMG of both sexes. We therefore investigated the lectin receptors of control and sialidase-treated sections by a post-embedding approach using horse radish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugates (PNA, DBA, LTA, WGA, Con A), anti-HRP antibody and protein A-gold. Qualitative and quantitative differences occurred in the acinar products of males and females. Sialidase digestion revealed that the acceptor sugar for terminal sialic acids exhibit a different expression in the electron-lucent granules of acinar cells. The occurrence of terminal sialic acid-alpha-N-acetylgalactosamine disaccharide was prominent in male acinar cells in contrast to a modest presence in female. In addition, the terminal sequence sialic acid beta-galactose showed a homogeneous location in the male secretory products and a ...
Mouse submandibular gland (SMG) begins its development at embryonic day 11 when oral epithelium grows into the underlying mesenchyme. The metabolic pathway of protein N-glycosylation is critical for SMG development and partial inhibition of DPAGT1, the gene that initiates N-glycosylation, drives cytodifferentiation of ductal structures. We have shown that DPAGT1 is a target of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway and that DPAGT1 regulates E-cadherin-mediated cell-cell adhesion, required for the survival of differentiating duct cells. Recently, the Hippo pathway has been shown to be critical for tissue development by regulating Wnt signaling and establishing apical-basal polarity. TAZ is a Hippo pathway transcription factor and polarity enhancer that also serves as a mechanosensor of the extracellular matrix. Objective: We investigated whether the Hippo pathway participated in SMG development and if it interacted with the metabolic pathway of N-glycosylation. Method: SMGs were dissected from mice ...
Head and neck cancers are common in several regions of the world and the treatment usually includes radiotherapy. This treatment can generate adverse effects to the salivary flow, with a relationship between the dose and the damage caused. Salivary gland cells are highly permeable to water and therefore, they express aquaporins (AQPs). This study analyzed changes in the expression and location of these proteins and identified morphological changes induced by low radiation in rat submandibular gland. Female rats were divided into control and irradiated groups. Immunohistochemistry analysis allowed confirming the presence of AQP1 in the blood vessel endothelium. Intense and steady labelling granules were also observed in the cytoplasm of submandibular gland ductal cells. In addition, there was AQP5 positive labelling in ductal cells delimiting the lumen of intercalated duct, in the cytoplasm and membrane of acinar cells. Finally, the decrease of AQP labelling in irradiated animal glands validated ...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate protein content of saliva produced in vitro by samples of human submandibular gland following stimulation with the muscarinic agent carbachol. DESIGN: Tissue samples, obtained at surgery from seven patients and showing normal morphological appearance, were tested for 30 min: in absence of carbachol and atropine; in presence of carbachol (10 microM); in presence of carbachol (10 microM) and atropine (20 microM); or in presence of just atropine (20 microM). Medium was analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass-spectrometry. Neither before nor during surgery were the patients exposed to drug treatments that were likely to influence the in vitro secretion. RESULTS: Proline-rich proteins (PRP)-1 and -3, peptide PC and PB, statherin, cystatins SN, S1 and S2 were invariably found in control gland tissue medium. Mean concentrations of these proteins/peptides in the medium were non-proportionally elevated following carbachol exposure to the gland tissues. Difference ...

Age and/or disease may compromise salivary gland function. In order to gain insight into the role of calorie restriction (CR) on immunoglobulin (Ig) production, we determined the effect of ad libitum (AL) feeding and CR in young (3 months) and old (18-24 months) C57BL/6 mouse submandibular glands (SM). The SM tissues were fragmented and cultured in the absence (control) or presence of either Th-1 cytokines, such as interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ), or Th-2 cytokines, e.g. IL-4 and IL-5, for seven days. Culture supernatants were then analyzed for immunoglobulin A (IgA), IgM, and IgG(2α) ...

Runx1 mediates the development of the granular convoluted tubules in the submandibular glands[1] The mouse granular convoluted tubules (GCTs), which are only located in the submandibular gland (SMG) are known to develop and maintain their structure in an androgen-dependent manner. We previously demonstrated that the GCTs are involuted by the epithelial deletion of core binding factor β (CBFβ), a transcription factor that physically interacts with any of the Runt-related transcription factor (RUNX) proteins (RUNX1, 2 and 3). This result clearly demonstrates that the Runx /Cbfb signaling pathway is indispensable in the development of the GCTs. However, it is not clear which of the RUNX proteins plays useful role in the development of the GCTs by activating the Runx /Cbfb signaling pathway. Past studies have revealed that the Runx /Cbfb signaling pathway plays important roles in various aspects of development and homeostatic events. Moreover, the Runx genes have different temporospatial ...

Aluminum absorption leads to deposits in several tissues. In this study, we have investigated, to our knowledge for the first time, aluminum deposition in the salivary glands in addition to the resultant cellular changes in the parotid and submandibular salivary glands in a model of chronic intoxication with aluminum citrate in rats. Aluminum deposits were observed in the parotid and submandibular glands. Immunohistochemical evaluation of cytokeratin-18 revealed a decreased expression in the parotid gland with no changes in the submandibular gland. A decreased expression of α-smooth muscle actin was observed in the myoepithelial cells of both glands. The expression of metallothionein I and II (MT-I/II), a group of metal-binding proteins, which are useful indicators for detecting physiological responses to metal exposure, was higher in both glands. In conclusion, we have shown that at a certain time and quantity of dosage, aluminum citrate promotes aluminum deposition in the parotid and submandibular
Submandibular gland removal is surgery to take out a saliva gland below the lower jaw. The gland may have been removed because of infection, a tumour, or a blocked saliva duct. A saliva duct is a tube that carries saliva from the gland into the mouth.. The area below your jaw may be sore for several days after your surgery. The area also may be slightly swollen or bruised. It will probably take 1 to 2 weeks for the cut (incision) the doctor made to heal.. If you have stitches in your incision, your doctor may need to remove them, or they may dissolve on their own. Ask your doctor about this. If your incision was closed with glue, the glue will peel off on its own in the weeks after your surgery.. ...

Airway obstruction caused by pharyngolaryngeal swelling after intraoral removal of a submandibular gland stone Satomi Sugiyama, Toshinori Iwai, Nobuhide Ohashi, Senri Oguri, Makoto Hirota, Kenji Mitsudo Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery/Orthodontics, Yokohama City University Hospital, Yokohama, Japan Abstract: Intraoral removal of a submandibular gland stone is less invasive than submandibulectomy, with no life-threatening airway complications reported until now. We report a case involving airway obstruction caused by pharyngolaryngeal swelling after intraoral removal of a submandibular gland stone. A 31-year-old man with a left submandibular gland stone underwent intraoral removal of the stone under general anesthesia and was discharged 1 day after surgery. That night, he was transported back to our hospital by ambulance for dyspnea. Because computed tomography showed pharyngolaryngeal swelling, he was intubated and managed by a ventilator.

The majority of glands in the face are related to salivation and mastication, the exception being the lacrimal glands that lie in the superior and lateral aspect of the orbits. These produce tears than flow medially and drain through the puncta into the lacrimal sac and into the nasopharynx.. The salivary glands are the parotid, sublingual, and submandibular. The parotid gland lies just anterior to the ear, while the sublingual gland is within the floor of the mouth, and the submandibular glands live under the mandible. The parotid gland drains through Stensens duct which runs from the gland along the edge of the masseter and empties into the mount opposite by the second upper molar - this duct can often be disrupted by trauma. The submandibular glands are emptied by Whartons duct, exiting by the frenulum of the tongue.. ...

The ability of foetal rat salivary epithelium, particularly from the parotid gland, to develop morphogenetically and functionally (amylase activity) in various mesenchymes, and the quantitative effects of altering mesenchymal mass on the development of the parotid epithelium, have been studied in vitro.. Both parotid and submandibular epithelial rudiments were able to undergo morphogenesis and subsequent cytodifferentiation in their own and in the reciprocal mesenchyme. The growth of the explant and the arrangement of the acini were governed by the mesenchyme, submandibular mesenchyme supporting the development of more acini, which were more closely packed, than parotid mesenchyme. The functional product of the epithelium was not qualitatively affected, amylase activity being developed only by parotid epithelium, whether in its own or in submandibular mesenchyme.. Amylase activity was greater when the epithelium from a single parotid rudiment was recombined with submandibular mesenchyme than ...
A membrane protease possessing thrombin-like activity was purified to homogeneity from mitochondria of rat submaxillary gland. The molecular mass of the enzyme was determined to be 45 kDa by SDS/PAGE under reducing conditions and by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-100 column. The enzyme is a glycoprotein and has an isoelectric point of 3.25. Maximum activity was observed at pH 10.5. Inhibition by di-isopropyl fluorophosphate, benzamidine, aprotinin and antipain suggested the enzyme to be a serine protease. Other inhibitors such as EDTA, soya-bean trypsin inhibitor, lima-bean trypsin inhibitor, TosLysCH2Cl and chymostatin did not alter the activity. The enzyme showed affinity towards different synthetic substrates (p-nitroanilide derivatives) containing arginine at the P1 position. Kinetic studies revealed that kcat./Km was highest with the substrate N-Bz-Phe-Val-Arg-p-nitroanilide. The enzyme exhibits significant plasma-coagulating activity. The coagulation initiated by the enzyme was not altered ...

Michael, did those research studies mention anything on time frames...?. While my time on here, not every one lost their saliva, so I guess dry mouth is a matter of interpretation. Definitely not 100% completely lost salivary function permanantly, or even temporary for that matter.. Most have and did lose some if not all salivary function as a result of rads. But many of those like myself, and several others have gotten nearly all (if not all) of their saliva back. A few didnt lose it, and at least one I think said it increased.... For me I have around 90 - 95% back I would say... I only get dry during sleep at night. The rest of the time I think Im probably 100% or close enough I cant tell.. Studies are usually geared with an objective and agenda (from what I have found)... And one thing youll hear here often, we are all different... Personally from my four plus years on here, the odds of losing your saliva long term enough to be significant is very low.. Are you or most going to lose ...

ImSAIDs are a class of peptides being developed by IMULAN BioTherapeutics, LLC, which were discovered to have diverse biological properties, including anti-inflammatory properties. ImSAIDs work by altering the activation and migration of inflammatory cells, which are immune cells responsible for amplifying the inflammatory response.[10][11] The ImSAIDs represent a new category of anti-inflammatory and are unrelated to steroid hormones or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories. The ImSAIDs were discovered by scientists evaluating biological properties of the submandibular gland and saliva. Early work in this area demonstrated that the submandibular gland released a host of factors that regulate systemic inflammatory responses and modulate systemic immune and inflammatory reactions. It is now well accepted that the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems communicate and interact to control and modulate inflammation and tissue repair. One of the neuroendocrine pathways, when activated, results in the ...
The kinetics of K+ release from an in vitro system of rat submaxillary gland slices were studied after stimulation with parasympathomimetic secretagogues. The slices were incubated at 37degreesC in an oxygenated, enriched Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate medium in the presence and in the absence of Ca++ and of ouabain and, in some experiments, in the presence of the specific antagonists atropine (5 x 10(-6) and 2 x 10(-5) M), phentolamine (2 x 10(-5) M) or propranolol (2 x 10(-5) M. K+ release was elicited by the addition of acetylcholine (2 x 10(-5) M), pilocarpine (2 x 10(-5) M) and carbamylcholine (10(-9) to 2 x 10(-5) M). The results demonstrate that: 1) The selective stimulation of cholinergic receptors induces a rapid net release of K+ from the slices. After 10 minutes of incubation, the percent K+ released after a 2 x 10(-5) M dose of each of the three secretagogues was, respectively, 20.8%, 15.5%, and 19%. 2) The response to carbamylcholine does not occur when Ca++ is absent from the medium and ...

Aside from the blenderized diet, he overall is doing well except for some severe choking. Dear Sons throat muscles have deteriorated with is progressive disease and he is unable to process his own secretions. Normal people swallow their own saliva throughout the day but he cant swallow (which is why he uses a feeding tube) so he is choking on his own saliva. We have tried the normal treatments of Robinul and even botox injections in 2008 for him but they both failed. We had been using a Scopolamine patch for many years up until the manufacturing shortage. Once we stopped the patch, we learned that it was actually causing seizures for Dear Son. When we tried the patch after the manufacturing issue was resolved, we could tell that it was causing seizures for him so now we cant use that. We met with an ENT to discuss the possibility of the removal of his submandibular glands and one of his parotid glands. I thought perhaps since Dear Son was healthy, this might be a good time to consider this ...

Proximal femoral focal deficiency, PFFD, is a congenital anomaly of the pelvis and proximal femur which causes hip deformity and shortening and altered function of the involved lower extremity. The condition may be unilateral or bilateral and is often associated with other congenital anomalies. Embryology: The developing human embryo first shows evidence of limb buds at the 5 millimeter crown-rump stage.As the apical mesoderm proliferates the limb is laid down in a proximo-distal fashion to be complete at the 12 millimeter stage. Elements of the ileum and proximal femur develop from a common cartilaginous anlage, with subsequent cleft formation to create a joint cavity. This means that if an acetabulum is seen in radiograph at any time in the first year of life a femoral head and neck will be present also, even if not evident in the radiograph. Etiology: Numerous agents including irradiation, anoxia, ischemia, mechanical or thermal injury, bacterial toxins, viral infection, chemicals and ...

N2 - In this case report we describe a rare tumor - Oncocytic variant of Mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the submandibular salivary gland with a review of the literature. Oncocytic metaplasia in salivary glands is a benign change that is associated with increasing age and also seen in a few salivary gland neoplasms, which include oncocytoma, Warthins tumor, and the rare, oncocytic carcinoma. Oncocytic differentiation in mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is uncommon. Only twelve well-documented cases of oncocytic MEC have been reported previously all of which occurred in the parotid gland. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma involving the submandibular salivary gland. The recognition of this ...
mouse epidermal growth factor binding protein: four different mouse proteins have been identified as EGF-BP; each is a kallikrein that associates with EGF to form a high molecular weight complex in male mouse submandibular glands (separate SCRs for each of four proteins exist)
Medical definition of submandibular ganglion: an autonomic ganglion that is situated on the hyoglossus muscle above the deep part of the submandibular gland, receives preganglionic fibers from the facial nerve by way of the chorda tympani, and sends postganglionic fibers to the submandibular and sublingual glands -called also submaxillary ganglion.

The Ren-1 locus of mice encodes the protease renin, which with converting enzyme processes angiotensinogen to the potent vasopressor angiotensin II. Some strains of mice appear to carry a duplication of the renin structural gene (Ren-2) near the Ren-1 locus. Strains with the gene duplication can exhibit as much as 100-fold higher levels of submaxillary gland renin compared to strains with a single gene copy. In contrast, kidney renin levels appear to be unaffected by the gene duplication. Sequence analysis of a 319 bp renin cDNA recombinant isolated from a kidney library from the two-gene strain DBA/2Ha corresponds to a transcript of the Ren-1 gene. Moreover, a single base substitution of A for G at residue #996 in the kidney renin mRNA creates a potential glycosylation recognition site that may, in part, account for the differential glycosylation of kidney and submaxillary gland renins. In addition, our tissue surveys indicate that mature mRNAs from the Ren loci are detectable in adrenal gland ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution and diffusion of sodium taurocholate-phospholipid micelles with mucin in order to provide the foundation for understanding the transport of ingested fat and poorly water-soluble drugs through the intestinal mucous layer. Methods. Sodium taurocholate NaTC was dispersed with egg phosphatidylcholines PC to yield mixed micelles of a specific size and concentration. A preliminary study was conducted to determine the time required for equilibration of PC/TC micellar solutions with mucin. PC/TC micellar solutions were dialyzed against fixed and variable concentrations of bovine submaxillary mucin after which the concentration of PC and NaTC was measured by an assay for total phosphorus and by HPLC, respectively. In addition, a quantitative assay of TC and PC by ...
It has been reported that immunization against tonin normalizes blood pressure, and that sialoadenectomy, during which the tonin-rich salivary glands are removed, decreases blood pressure in one-kidney, one-clip hypertension. To investigate the role of tonin on this form of hypertension further, we actively immunized one-kidney, one-clip hypertensive rabbits with tonin and measured both the blood pressure response and the titer of antibodies raised against tonin. In addition, because sialoadenectomy may alter food intake, we assessed the effect of sialoadenectomy on the blood pressure of one-kidney, one-clip hypertensive rats fed a liquid diet to facilitate eating. After immunization, all rabbits developed antitonin-antibody titers ranging from 1:300 to 1:56,000. However, in none of the rabbits did the blood pressure decrease significantly (114 +/- 3 mm Hg before immunization; 129 +/- 6 mm Hg at 16 weeks after immunization). In one-kidney, one-clip hypertensive rats, sialoadenectomy did not ...
To elucidate the role of extracellular matrix and basement membrane associated proteins at the ectodermal-ectomesenchymal interface of developing salivary glands, human fetal submandibular glands (n=100), gestational age varying from 10 to 40 weeks, were evaluated for expression of tenascin, type IV collagen and laminin by using immunohistochemical methods and the results were compared with their expression in adult glands (n=20). Immunoreactive tenascin was present in the epithelial-mesenchymal interface of developing salivary ducts beginning from 10 weeks of gestational age during the early developing stages. In the late developmental stages, the intensity of immunoreaction was reduced around the proximal striated ducts and no immunoreaction was seen around the intercalated duct and acinar cells. Adult submandibular glands had immunoreactive tenascin confined to the periductal connective tissue of distal segment of striated and excretory ducts. Type IV collagen and laminin were observed in the ...

A gland is an organ in an animals body that synthesizes a substance for release such as hormones, often into the bloodstream (endocrine gland) or into cavities inside the body or its outer surface (exocrine gland). Humans have a large variety of glands, from the pituitary gland in the brain, to sweat glands over the bodys skin that release perspiration to regulate the bodys temperature. Other well known glands include the adrenal glands, the prostate gland, the thyroid gland, the pineal gland, the thymus and mammary gland. Two other paired glands are the parotid glands and submandibular glands, both involved in saliva production.

MCMV has broad tissue tropism, and can infect the hosts epithelial cells such as salivary gland tissue, as well as macrophages and lymphoid cells. In natural infections, no clinical symptoms may be detected. The submandibular salivary gland is the primary site of lesions; other salivary glands are rarely involved. A substantial percentage of infected mice may eventually develop latent infections, and the virus may be transmitted to other mice through biting ...
The basement membrane separates the epithelium from the surrounding mesenchyme and plays an essential role in the development of various epithelial-mesenchymal organs. Among these, the submandibular salivary gland (SMG) has been chosen to review the expression patterns and roles of the epithelial...
Epithelia from lung rudiments in which secondary bronchial buds are already established (14th and 13th gestational day for rat and mouse respectively) are able to undergo branching morphogenesis and cytodifferentiation in submandibular mesenchyme in vitro, whereas lung epithelium from one day younger foetuses rarely gives a morphogenetic response to submandibular mesenchyme and usually differentiates into primary (non-budding) bronchial epithelium.. The failure of 13-day rat lung epithelium to respond to submandibular mesenchyme can be prevented by peeling off the submandibular mesenchyme from the lung epithelium after 2½ days culture and replacing the same mesenchyme, or renewing it with fresh salivary mesenchyme ex vivo. Changes in the epithelial contour are visible by 10 h and buds form within 24 h; this is followed by branching morphogenesis in more than 66% of the samples.. The number of cells in S-phase in the epithelium is doubled within 3 to 5 h after the operation and the number of ...
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 ...
Purified epidermal growth factor (EGF), isolated from mice submaxillary glands, was used to study regeneration of rabbit corneal epithelium. The progressive decrease in area of standardized 7 mm. central comeal epithelial wounds was determined by serial standardized photography. The projected fluorescein-stained area was measured by planimetry. It has been found that EGF in the concentrations studied (0.05 mg. per milliliter; 0.5 mg. per milliliter; and 2.0 mg. per milliliter) when given topically four times daily, increased the corneal epithelial healing rate compared to saline controls. A 40-fold variation of EGF concentrations failed to effect a statistically significant change in corneal epithelial healing rate. No sign of toxicity was detected clinically and histologically with topical application of EGF on rabbit corneas with intact epithelium and on corneas denuded of epithelium ...

Intranasal Administration of Mesenchymoangioblast-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Abrogates Airway Fibrosis and Airway Hyperresponsiveness Associated with Chronic Allergic Airways Disease Researchers assessed the in vivo efficacy of induced pluripotent stem cell and mesenchymoangioblast-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MCA-MSCs) on airway remodeling in a murine model of chronic allergic airways disease/asthma. Apart from epithelial thickness, all other parameters measured were significantly, although not totally, decreased by intravenous delivery of MCA-MSCs to ovalbumin-injured mice.

Lethality: Ras signaling promotes the excretory duct cell fate, and mosaic analysis suggested that loss of this one specific cell can account for the zygotic lethality of let-60 null mutants (Yochem et al., 1997). The excretory duct cell is required for osmoregulation (Nelson and Riddle, 1984). let-60 loss-of-function mutants, which lack the excretory duct cell, die as rod-like larvae with a fluid-filled appearance (Figure 2). let-60 gain-of-function mutants sometimes have two excretory duct cells (Yochem et al., 1997). Ras signaling may have other (maternally-rescued) essential roles in addition to excretory duct formation, since mutations in let-23/EGFR, egl-15/FGFR and ptp-2/SHP-2 cause distinct scrawny and lethal defects that are rescued by constitutive forms of LET-60 Ras (DeVore et al., 1995; Gutch et al., 1998; Koga and Ohshima, 1995). Hyperactivation of egl-15/FGFR or let-60/Ras can also lead to lethality with a Clear, fluid-filled appearance (Kokel et al., 1998; Schutzman et al., ...
The rat kallikrein family consists of multiple closely related proteins. A method for demonstration and identification of kallikrein-like proteins has been developed based on their differences in isoelectric point and their immunological similarity. The method, which involved separation in flat-bed isoelectro-focusing gels (pH range 3-9) and detection by immunoblotting using polyclonal antiserum against one of the family members, has been used in the present study to detect kallikrein-like proteins in the rat prostate. Nine immunoreactive kallikrein-like protein bands were detected with pI ranging from 5.30 to 8.35. Of these, six were completely purified and three were partially purified. Two proteins (pI 5.30 and 6.75-6.90) corresponded to protein bands in gels of rat submandibular-gland extracts, and were identified by partial amino acid sequence analysis as rK8 and rK9 respectively. In addition, sequence analysis revealed complete sequence similarity between rK9 and the immunoreactive ...
An additional reported adverse effect of CBD management is an undesirable dry sensation in the mouth. This impact seems to be brought on by the involvement of the endocannabinoid system in the restraint of saliva secretion. A study published by Argentinean researchers back in 2006 showed that cannabinoid receptors (kind 1 and also 2) exist in the submandibular glands which are in charge of generating saliva. The activation of these receptors changes the salivary manufacturing; bring about mouth dryness (likewise referred to as cotton-mouth ...
Results The mean age was 51.1±11 years, median disease duration of 6.1 years, 92.8% were females and 92.8% had oral symptoms. The global B-mode score was 22.2 points (13-44) and the RTS global score 2.5 (1.64-3.28) m/seg. We found a correlation between the RTS global score and the global B-mode score (t=0.53, p=0.001), the RTS global score between both parotids (t=0.58, p=0.0001) and both submandibulars (t=0.50, p=0.0001); but not between parotids and submandibular glands. The RTS global score correlated with the NSWSF (t=-0.53, p=0.001), ESSDAI (t=0.31, p=0.03), glandular ESDDAI domain (t=0.36, p=0.02), C4 levels (t=-0.32, p=0.04), but not with the rest of serological variables, chemokines and cytokines levels.. We found fibrosis in 7 patients (26.9%), and these patients were not different when compared to the group without it, regarding the RTS global score, B-mode global score, age and chemokine and cytokines levels, but tended to have a longer disease duration. At the linear regression ...

Salivary glands are located in the jaws of the lower part of the head, and are at the edges of the head (Brain) CT scans simulated in this study. Extension of the scan range inferiorly includes more or even the entire glands into the head scans. The dose to the glands can be 7.5 times of the default dose after an inferior extension of 3 cm for new-born (0-year-old) patients. For older patients, a 3-cm extension can still increase the dose to the glands by more than 2 times. With a 1-cm inferior extension or a 1-cm superior retraction, the dose to the glands can be doubled or halved, indicating the salivary gland dose is very sensitive to the location of the inferior edge of the head scan. Comparing the doses with 3cm superior retraction and the doses with 3cm inferior extension of the inferior range, the changes in salivary gland dose can be 27 times for newborn patients and 13 times for adults. The inferior extension of head scan range increases the salivary dose, and the extension is up to 8cm ...

DIAGNOSIS: Once exposed and infected with EHV-1 the virus may be detected in blood and nasal swabs for 21 and 14 days respectively in laboratory settings. Virus shedding maybe more transient and difficult to detect in the latter stages of disease and in clinical outbreaks. Nasal shedding may be prolonged (21+ days) in cases infected with certain neuropathic strains of EHV-1. Horses can develop clinical signs as early as 1 day after exposure to the virus, although clinical signs can be delayed up to 10 days after exposure. Typically EHM develops 5 to 6 days after the primary infection. Infection usually develops following exposure to a horse shedding the virus but in a small percentage of cases, infection occurs by reactivation of latent virus. EHV-1 typically causes a biphasic fever peaking on day 1 or 2 and again on day 6 or 7. With respiratory infections there is often significant nasal and ocular discharge, but not a lot of coughing. There may be some persistent enlargement of submandibular ...
