The Impact

Some reports state that the morphology, histochemistry and innervation of mucous membrane in rats are quite similar to that in humans. Most experimental studies on the impact of certain factors on the human body involve laboratory animals, rats in particular. In our previous experimental studies we used rats to study the effect of acrylic monomer on salivary glands in order to further extrapolate data to the morphological features of minor salivary glands of rats and humans. This study was aimed at investigating morphology of glandular area of the hard palate mucosa of intact albino rats with subsequent extrapolation of the results obtained to human body. The experimental studies were conducted on adult Wistar rats aged 1 to 1.5 years. The light microscopy (slight magnification) of transverse sections of the hard palate mucosa samples of albino rats revealed the mucous membrane and well-developed submucous layer with numerous minor salivary glands within its structure. The findings confirm the similarity between the structure of minor salivary glands of rats and humans that supports the rational choice of experimental animals for subsequent extrapolation of the resulting data.

The aim: The paper presents the findings of the study of the 3 month-long effect of the monomer of the “Ftorax” denture base acrylic resin on the structural organization of the mucous membrane and the condition of the salivary glands of the albino rats’ hard palate during the experiment. Materials and methods:To achieve this goal, experimental studies involved mature rats, whose hard palate mucosa was smeared with 2% aqueous solution of the monomer of the “Ftorax” denture base acrylic resin twice a day in the morning and evening. The animals were sacrificed on day 30 of the experiment and following 3 months. Results: The findings of the studies of the structural organization of the mucous membrane and the analysis of the micropreparations of the mucous membrane of the hard palate of the animals of Group III have revealed substantial pathological changes both in the covering epithelium and in the lamina propria. The comparison between the intact animals and group of animals subjected to the 3 month-long effect of the monomer showed a significant thickening of the epithelial layer; a decrease in the mitotic index in the basal layer; impaired stratification of the cellular elements of the spinous layer; manifestations of exudative purulent inflammation, cystic and sclerotic changes in the excretory ducts; increase in the amount of connective tissue in the lobules of the salivary glands; decrease in the volume of the secretory parenchyma. Conclusions: Based on the findings of the study we can conclude that the prolonged effect of the monomer of the denture base acrylic resins leads to disorder of the structural organization of the glandular zone of the hard palate; in its submucous layer the total volume of the salivary glands decreases, which, in turn, significantly reduces secretion and leads to hyposalivation.

The objective of the work is to demonstrate the signs of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the minor salivary glands in pediatric patients on a clinical example.Clinical case. In August 2017, a girl of 9 years old appeared in the area of the right half of the hard palate. The dentist at the place of residence diagnosed an abscess in the area of the hard palate, performed the lancing and drainage of the “abscess”, prescribed antibiotic therapy. After 3.5 months (in December 2017), hyperemia and an increase in the volume of the mucous membrane reappeared in the same zone. Reapplied to the dentist. The girl was sent to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, where the hard palate formation was removed on 23.01.2018; according to histological examination a highly differentiated tumor of the hard palate was diagnosed. The girl was sent for a consultation to the N. N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology, where histological preparations were reviewed: a fragment of the mucous membrane of the hard palate covered with squamous epithelium, with the growth of low-grade mucoepidermoid cancer (from the minor salivary glands of the hard palate). A biopsy of the postoperative scar 3 mm long and of the formation of a hard palate 1 mm in diameter was performed; during histological examination of the biopsy material tumor cells were not detected (the material was represented by fibrous tissue). Despite the biopsy results, taking into account the medical history, the results of a review of histological preparations, the rarity and high aggressiveness of the tumor, poor prognosis for relapse, lack of data for regional and distant metastases, at the concilium it was accepted the decision to conduct repeated surgery. In the Surgical Department No. 1 of the Research Institute of Pediatric Oncology and Hematology, N. N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology on 13.03.2018 a resection of the hard palate was performed with plastic surgery of the defect with a mixed skin-muscle flap on the vascular pedicle.Conclusion. Mucoepidermoid cancer of the minor salivary glands of the hard palate in children and adolescents can be manifested by the presence of a slowly growing, painless, pale blue tumor. For a correct clinical and morphological diagnosis, a biopsy of the tumor is necessary, further the removal of the tumor is recommended with resection of the hard palate, in view of the high risk of tumor spreading in the thickness of the bone.

Adenoid cystic carcinoma is a relatively uncommon tumour of salivary, glands and is characterised by a prolonged clinical course and a fatal outcome. It was first described as `cylindroma' by Billroth in 1859. Half of these tumors occur in glandular tissues other than the major salivary glands; principally in the hard palate, but they can also arise in the tongue and minor salivary glands. Unusual locations include the external auditory canal, nasopharynx, lacrimal glands, breast, vulva, esophagus, cervix and Cowper glands. The long natural history of this tumor and its tendency for local recurrence are well known. JMS 2012;15(1):76-77.

Summary. The aimof the study is to develop a method of sealing the sutured of the small intestine anastomosis in conditions of high risk anastomosis leakege by stopping the inflammation’ cascade in experiment. Materials and methods.The work was experimental in nature, was performed in the SI «ZIGUS NAMSU» in collaboration with the Scientific Research Institute of Biology V. N. Karazin KhNU in the period from 2018 to 2019. To increase the tightness of the intestinal anastomoses applied under conditions of laparatomy, experimental studies were conducted on laboratory animals. The studies were carried out after the permission of the ethics committee SI «ZIGUS NAMSU» in compliance with all ethical requirements for the humane treatment of animals.Surgical operations in two series of experiments were performed under operating conditions under general anesthesia on 10 white sexually mature linear rats – Wistar males, 12-18 months old, weighing about 250 grams. All morphological material (the first and second series of experiments) was marked and fixed in a 10% solution of neutral formalin. Subsequently, paraffin sections were prepared according to the generally accepted histotechnical method and stained with hematoxylin - eosin; according to Van Gieson and Mallory, an immunohistochemical study was used to study microenvironment factors. Results and Discussion. Immunohistochemical examination of the intestine was carried out in several stages, at the first stage we took intestinal tissue during the surgery to form the intestinal anastomosis, before the introduction of allogeneic cell transplants. Also carried out immunohistochemical studies of the emerging mucous membrane at various times after the formation of insolvency of intestinal anastomoses in both studied groups. When using a cell allograft, the mechanisms of repair of the intestinal mucosa include the appearance of cells that carry the expression of markers of mesenchymal and epithelial differentiation (Vim, CD34, CKW, Ecad), and are usually localized in the walls of blood vessels of granulation tissue, as well as in areas of the repairing epithelium. In addition, in the main group, only 7 days after the reaction to cytokeratins (CKW) and Ecad, areas of the repairing epithelium were detected, while the visualization of the epithelium in the control group did not begin even after 10 days. The analysis of immunophenotypes of repairing cells allows us to suggest the participation of mesenchymal-epithelial transformation mechanisms in this process. Conclusions.Thus, studies have shown that the use of cell transplantation of culture of allogeneic cells of the intestine leads to the reconstruction of the intestinal mucosa in a fairly short time. Conducted histological and immunohistochemical studies showed that in the vast majority of animals (77.2%) 10-14 days after the operation, an almost unchanged mucous membrane forms with the preservation of its elasticity.

Retention Cysts

Mucocele is a clinical term that basically includes two phenomenon i.e. mucus extravasation and mucus retention. Cysts arising in connection with minor salivary glands are common and about 90 per cent of cases are of the mucous extravasation type. These lesions are typically painless, dome-shaped, and fluctuant; they appear blue in colour secondary to the presence of mucin under the mucosa. The vesicular appearance created by the superficial nature of the mucin spillage, causes a separation of the epithelium from the connective tissue. The pathologist must be aware of this lesion and should not mistake it microscopically for a vesiculo-bullous lesion, especially mucous membrane pemphigoid. Here, we present a case report on mucocele with a brief review.

The mouth is the common aperture to the aerodigestive tract. With the coordinated assistance of the tongue and lips it contributes to the formation of meaningful sound whilst the presence of intact dental arches allow for mastication. The oral cavity proper represents the atrium beyond the lips reaching to the palatoglossal arches posteriorly, where the oropharynx begins beyond the oropharnygeal isthmus. It is restricted by the cheeks laterally, the hard and soft palate superiorly and the mobile tongue resting on the mylohyoid muscle inferiorly. The paired major salivary glands drain into the oral cavity along with numerous minor salivary glands. The tongue is a thick, mucosa covered muscular structure concerned with mastication, taste, talking and swallowing. The palate is the roof of the mouth, separating the oral and nasal cavities and participating in speech and swallowing. It can be divided into two parts: a bony anterior hard palate and soft posterior palate.

Abstract BackgroundAcute and chronic stresses affect the salivary glands which are the source of plasma BDNF during stressful conditions. Pumpkin is a medicinal plant with an evident antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and potential antidepressant effects. This work was conducted to assess the impact of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) on the structure of albino rats’ salivary glands and evaluate the role of pumpkin extract (Pump) in ameliorating this effect. MethodsFour groups (n=10 each) of male albino rats included in this study; the control, CUMS, CUMS+fluoxetine and (CUMS+Pump). Corticosterone, pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α & IL-6) and the oxidant/antioxidant profile were all assessed in the serum. BDNF mRNA level was measured in the salivary glands using qRT-PCR. Histopathological changes of the salivary glands were also assessed. ResultsDepression was confirmed behaviorally and biochemically. Exposure to CUMS significantly (p< 0.001) up-regulated the level of serum corticosterone. CUMS induced degenerative changes in the secretory and ductal system, atrophy of acini and increased apoptosis of the acinar and ductal cells. Both fluoxetine and Pump significantly up-regulated (p<0.001) BDNF expression in the salivary glands and ameliorated the CUMS-induced histopathological alterations in the salivary glands. Pumpkin significantly (p<0.001) increased the serum levels of antioxidant enzymes SOD, GPX and CAT and reduced the serum levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-6.ConclusionPumpkin ameliorates chronic stress-induced depression in rats by exerting a promising anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-depressant-like effects in rats exposed to CUMS. Pump subsequently improved stress-induced structural changes in the salivary glands that might be due to the glands up-regulation of BDNF expression.Trial registrationNot applicable.
