Radiation-induced xerostomia: objective evaluation of salivary gland injury using MR sialography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Xerostomia (dry mouth) is one of the serious complications of head and neck irradiation and has a strong influence on a patient's activities of daily living. MR sialography with salivary secretion stimulation provides additional functional information (salivary secretion reserve) and may contribute to the evaluation of the severity of xerostomia and predict the risk of de...
متن کاملMTA1 Expression in Benign and Malignant Salivary gland Tumors
Introduction: Salivary gland tumors (SGTs) are important parts of human neoplasms. The most common SGT is pleomorphic adenoma and the most common malignant SGTs are mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC). Metastasis-associated genes 1 (MTA1), a member of the nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylation complex, is one newly discovered gene which recruits histone deacetyl...
متن کاملNeoangiogenesis in Benign and Malignant Salivary Gland Tumors
Introduction: There are few studies investigating the role of neoangiogenesis in biological behavior of salivary gland tumors. CD105 expression has demonstrated greater accuracy for detecting new vessel formation compared with other pan-endothelial molecules. This study aimed to assess and compare intratumoral Micro-Vessel Density (MVD) through using immunohistochemichal expression of CD105 bio...
متن کاملConcise review: Adult salivary gland stem cells and a potential therapy for xerostomia.
The ability to speak, swallow, masticate, taste food, and maintain a healthy oral cavity is heavily reliant on the presence of saliva, the hugely important effect of which on our everyday lives is often unappreciated. Hyposalivation, frequently experienced by people receiving radiation therapy for head and neck cancers, results in a plethora of symptoms whose combined effect can drastically red...
متن کاملSalivary Gland Dysplasia in Fgf10 Heterozygous Mice: A New Mouse Model of Xerostomia
Xerostomia, or chronic dry mouth, is a common syndrome caused by a lack of saliva that can lead to severe eating difficulties, dental caries and oral candida infections. The prevalence of xerostomia increases with age and affects approximately 30% of people aged 65 or older. Given the large numbers of sufferers, and the potential increase in incidence given our aging population, it is important...
