Purpose: To develop nature acellular submandibular gland scaffold materials and observe its ultrastructures.

Methods: The fresh submandibular glands of SD rats were cell-extracted by chemical detergent and observed with transmission and scanning electron microscope.

Results: Submandibular gland cells were dissolved and destroyed under transmission electron microscope. Normal submandibular gland cells were ball, but the shape of cells disappeared after cell-extraction under scanning electron microscope. Collagen fibers were arranged as net structure.

Conclusions: Submandibular gland cells disappeared and the arrangement of collagen fibres were normal by Triton X-100 cell-extraction.

Objective: For early diagnosis and inquiry into the pathophysiology of Sjögren disease (SjD), salivary secretion and component levels, and salivary glands' uptakes in sialoscintigraphy were examined, in this cross-sectional study.

Methods: Patients who visited our hospital with suspected SjD between April 2016 and March 2020 were checked for unstimulated salivary secretion and β2-microglobulin, Na+, and cortisol levels in saliva. The patients who showed any abnormal salivary test results underwent sialoscintigraphy; the uptakes in the parotid, submandibular, and thyroid glands were compared using paired t test.

Introduction: Ranulas are mucous cysts that arise from the sublingual gland due to ductal obstruction or trauma. Plunging ranulas, a rare variant, extend into the neck and often present diagnostic challenges. Definitive surgical management is necessary to prevent recurrence and ensure successful outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of transoral surgical management for complex submandibular gland (SMG) stones.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study of 240 patients treated for sialolithiasis between 2015 and 2018, focusing on 57 cases of SMG stones that underwent stone removal procedures. Treatment methods, success rates, and complications were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier analysis, Cox proportional hazards regression, and multiple logistic regression.

Background: The long-term effect of adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASCs) to restore radiation-induced salivary gland hypofunction in previous head and neck cancer patients have not been validated in larger settings.

Methods: The study was the 12-months follow-up of a randomised trial, including patients with hyposalivation. Patients were randomised to receive allogeneic ASCs or placebo in the submandibular glands.
