background: in cancers of prostate, breast, oropharynx, lung, hypopharynx and skin, human tissue kallikreins has been demonstrated as a main role in these problems. there are many research works in which some human tissue kallikreins are expressed in salivary glands. in the present study, the main goal was to determine expression of human tissue kallikreins 4, 8, 10, 11 and 13 in pleomorphic ad...

abstract a 71-year-old male with a long history of diabetes and hypertension was admitted with mild azotemia and recurrent hyponatremia. he was diagnosed with a pituitary gland cystic tumor. on careful evaluation, his hyponatremia was found to be due to cerebral salt wasting. the patient made a full recovery following treatment for cerebral salt wasting.

Introduction: Cyfra 21 is a serum-soluble fragment of cytokeratin19. Increased Cyfra 21 serum levels and their benefit as a tumor marker have been shown in some malignancies. This study aimed to evaluate the serum levels of Cyfra 21 in patients with benign and malignant salivary gland tumors. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the serum level of Cyfra 21 in 44 patients with m...

Abnormalities of the thyroid gland are among the most frequent endocrine complications observed in childhood cancer survivors. We report an 11 years old girl who developed central hypothyroidism and ACTH deficiency during the chemotherapy for CNS relapse of acute lymphoblastic leukemia before receiving radiotherapy. Keywords: Thyroid gland, hypothyroidism, chemotherapy, acute lymphoblastic leu...

Warthin’s tumor is the most common monomorphic adenoma of parotid gland. It can be coexistent with other salivary gland tumors or metachronous, multifocal, unilateral, bilateral which perplexes diagnosis hence delaying over/under treating ailment. Rare cases are described in young population especially non-smoker females. We present a case arising left 20-year-old female.

Background and objective: Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of salivary gland lesions is an accepted and useful diagnostic tool to differentiate between benign and malignant lesions. Majority of the neoplasms are benign, and specific diagnosis on cytology can be made in most of the cases. However, the utility is limited by the overlapping and heterogeneous morphol...

  Tannins are plant-derived polyphenolic compounds that are widely found in foods, particularly in fruits and beverages. These materials are water-soluble and able to precipitate proteins from aqueous solutions. It had been shown that feeding some animals such as rat and mouse with tannins mimicks the effects of isoproterenol on salivary glands. Tannins stimulate β-receptors by some indirect me...

Salivary glands are exocrine that secrete saliva, which plays an important role in the maintenance of oral health. Few reports exist on contralateral salivary gland is not directly affected when one by sialolithiasis, radiation therapy, or a tumor. In present study, we investigated changes submandibular mice following excision unilateral gland. Outcomes this study showed and sublingual resectio...

growth of the prostate gland, also development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is an androgen-dependent functions. Testosterone plays a major role in the prostate gland. Rat prostate gland is one of the most widely used models of animals in investigation. The rat prostate gland consisted of five lobes; the ventral, anterior, dorsal, lateral type 1 and latteral type 2. The goal of present ...
