Jaw deformity caused by juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and its correction.

An underdeveloped mandible and resulting micrognathia and malocclusion may occur in some children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Combined orthodontic and surgical procedures can now greatly improve esthetics and function in such children. We describe corrective treatment and followup of 7 patients.

Reserpinization: effects on parotid gland function.

Chronic reserpinization of mice and rabbits affected parotid gland function; cholinergic and beta-adrenergic-stimulated amylase release were significantly reduced, and cyclic-AMP and cyclic-GMP levels were significantly elevated above control-stimulated levels. Amylase released by dibutyryl-c-AMP was also reduced, suggesting a defect in stimulus-secretion coupling subsequent to c-AMP formation.
