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: animal studies have shown that enteral stimuli play an important role in modulating gut-associated lymphoid tissue.
Objective: the main objectives of this study were 1) to evaluate the effect of 3-day fasting on secretory immunoglobulin A (S-IgA) in parotid saliva and 2) to determine the levels of lymphotoxin (LT) transcription in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNC) from healthy volunteers as a proxy for studying GALT health.
Methods: these adult volunteers had fasted for three days as part of a cultural ritual.

Background: Extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a relatively rare form of tuberculosis infection, accounting for approximately 15% of all tuberculosis infections. Lymph nodes are the most commonly affected sites, while involvement of the parotid gland is extremely rare.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 65-year-old male patient with a one-month history of a left parotid mass.

Unlabelled: Cadmium (Cd) is a potent environmental pollutant that causes functional and structural damage to the salivary glands. Tempol (TEM) has powerful antioxidant activity that can potentially preserve organ function.
Aims: This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of TEM on Cd-induced toxicity in rat parotid salivary glands.
