[The value of imaging methods in diagnosis of submandibular gland diseases].
Shanghai Kou Qiang Yi Xue
April 2009
Purpose: To retrospectively analyze the advantages and disadvantages of imaging methods commonly used for diagnosis of gland submandibular diseases.
Methods: One hundred and eighty-two patients with submandibular gland surgery were retrospectively studied to compare the accuracy rate between preoperative imaging and postoperative diagnosis.The data were analyzed using SAS8.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the levels of interferon-alpha in the blood of patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) and to examine the relationship between pSS and interferon-alpha levels.
- Using ELISA and real-time PCR, researchers found that 43.24% of pSS patients had detectable levels of interferon-alpha, while all control subjects showed undetectable levels, indicating a significant difference.
- Results also showed that the mRNA expression of the interferon-alpha gene was higher in patients with pSS, suggesting an overall overexpression of interferon-alpha in these individuals.
[Diagnostic value of magnetic resonance sialography for submandibular sialolithiasis].

February 2009
Purpose: To evaluate the role of MR Sialography(MRS) in diagnosis of submandibular sialolithiasis.
Methods: Twenty-one patients with submandibular sialolithiasis were scanned by MRS, the results of MRS were compared with those after proper treatment.
Results: The results of MRS were consistent with those after proper treatment.
