Objective: To study the expression of P63 in human salivary gland development and the existing of salivary gland stem cells.
Methods: 24 embryonic salivary gland samples in different stage, 10 normal salivary gland samples were collected. HE-stained and immunochemistry stain were used.
Results: It could be seen on the HE-stained sections that the epithelial buds proliferated to form the epithelial branches and duct systems, finally the terminal cells differentiated into ductal, myoepithelial and acinous. During the development of salivary gland, the expression of P63 was gradually reduced. In normal adult salivary gland samples, the positive cell interspersed in the basal layer of intercalated duct, secretory duct and excretory duct.
Conclusion: P63 plays an important role in human salivary gland development. The result of our experiment shows the distributive characteristic of salivary gland stem cells, which exist abroad in bud stage, but decrease and only exist in the basal layer of ducts in normal adult salivary gland.

The non-invasive detection of crack/cocaine and other bioactive compounds from its pyrolysis in saliva can provide an alternative for drug analysis in forensic toxicology. Therefore, a highly sensitive, fast, reagent-free, and sustainable approach with a non-invasive specimen is relevant in public health. In this animal model study, we evaluated the effects of exposure to smoke crack cocaine on salivary flow, salivary gland weight, and salivary composition using Attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy.

Basal cell adenomas (BCAs) are benign epithelial tumors of the salivary gland, characterized by the proliferation of basaloid and luminal cells. In addition, a distinctive spindle cell stroma, that is immunohistochemically-positive for S100, is often observed in BCAs. Based on the ultrastructural findings, the S100-positive stroma was presumed to originate from neoplastic myoepithelial cells.

Background: Primary pulmonary hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a rare type of primary salivary gland-type tumor of the lung. HCCC is characterized by unique pathological features, including nests, cords, or trabeculae of clear or eosinophilic tumor cells infiltrating a mucinous or hyalinized stroma. Additional analyses of this carcinoma have revealed positive epithelial markers via immunophenotyping and gene translocation through genetic testing.

Introduction: Thyroid lesions are one of the most common diseases observed in clinical practice in the North India. These diseases have distinct cytological morphology and thus FNAC is done frequently. Here we report a case of adenomatoid goitre mimicking adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) of salivary gland on cytology.

This study aims to investigate the diagnostic values of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and frozen section (FS) in evaluating parotid gland masses subjected to parotidectomy. A retrospective analysis of data from 274 patients who underwent parotidectomy for parotid gland masses was performed at the Department of Otolaryngology of the University Hospital between 2013 and 2019. We compared the preoperative FNAC and intraoperative FS records with the definitive histopathological diagnoses obtained from the surgical resection specimens.
