This study was designed to examine whether the sublingual gland parenchyma is influenced by the development of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The sublingual glands of rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes were examined by light and electron microscopy. In order to define the limiting membrane of mucous granules in more detail, samples processed by rapid freezing following by freeze-su...

In feline idiopathic cystitis, morphological changes were found mainly in the mucosa and submucosal layer of bladder wall. They are characterized by hyperplasia congestion blood vessels. Morphometric assessment main structures wall cats with cystitis revealed an increase thickness mucous membrane due to a decrease muscular membrane. When using anti-stress therapy on 14th day from start treatmen...

Oral mucous membranes may be affected by a variety of blistering mucocutaneous diseases. In this paper, we review the clinical manifestations, typical microscopic and immunofluorescence features, pathogenesis, biological behaviour and treatment of mucous membrane pemphigoid (MMP). As MMP is a relatively common condition, the general dentist must be able to diagnose, treat and monitor the progre...

Pemphigoid and pemphigus vulgaris (PV) are autoimmune diseases that cause potentially debilitating erosions and blistering of the skin and/or mucous membranes. In bullous pemphigoid (BP), autoantibodies target components of the basement membrane zone (BMZ), most importantly the hemidesmosomal proteins, BP180 and BP230. Research efforts have uncovered some of the complex mechanisms that cause th...

AIM To determine microbial prevalence in the mucous membrane and prosthesis of denture wearers with and without denture stomatitis and to study its relationship with potential clinical cofactors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Saliva was collected from 200 patients (100 female and 100 male) wearing dental prosthesis for measurement of pH. Oral samples of the mucous membrane and of dentures were taken ...
