1. The output and composition of proteins in nerve stimulated saliva samples were compared. 2. Protein output upon parasympathetic stimulation was higher than following sympathetic stimulation and was accompanied by an obvious degranulation of acini with the former but not the latter. These events are the converse of those in the rat parotid gland. 3. Superimposition of sympathetic upon parasympathetic stimulation caused an augmented output of salivary protein. 4. Electrophoresis of salivas revealed differences between individual cats in protein composition but not between differently stimulated salivas.

Various approaches and techniques have been developed to address parotid neoplasms over the years. This article reflects on the integration, modification, and refinement of these techniques over a decade of clinical practice. This article provides a narrative description of the evolution of a head and neck oncologic surgeon's approach to parotid neoplasms.

Objective: A nanometer-sized vesicles originating from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs), called exosomes, have been extensively recognized. This study defines the impact of BMMSCs and their derived exosomes on proliferation, apoptosis and oxidative stress (OS) levels of CP-induced parotid salivary gland damage.

Methods: BMMSCs were isolated from the tibia of four white albino rats and further characterized by flowcytometric analysis.

Background: Salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) is a highly aggressive salivary gland malignancy with poor prognosis. The aim was to investigate the prognostic factors and survival outcomes in a cohort of SDC patients.

Materials And Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data of 61 SDC patients treated at the First Medical Center of the PLA General Hospital between January 2010 and December 2020.

Background: The rising incidence of parotid gland tumors, with a focus on pleomorphic adenomas (PMA) and Warthin tumors (WT), necessitates accurate preoperative distinction due to their treatment variability and PMA's malignant potential. Traditional imaging, while valuable, has limited accuracy. This study employs multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) radiomics coupled with serum alpha-L-fucosidase (AFU) levels to develop a diagnostic model aimed at elevating clinical discernment and precision therapy delivery.

Although sialoblastoma (SBL) is defined as a low-grade malignant salivary gland anlage neoplasm in the 2022 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Head and Neck Tumors, its histology, genetics, and behavior remain controversial due to the rarity of the tumor. Here, we performed the first comprehensive clinical, histologic, and molecular analyses of 8 SBLs to better understand their pathogenesis and prognosis. This cohort consisted of 5 boys and 3 girls, with ages ranging from birth to 9 years at diagnosis.
