[Appearance of entodermal antigen in the mouth mucosa of dogs in recurrent spontaneous stomatitis].

An additional component absent in the same areas of the mouth under normal conditions appeared in dogs with spontaneous stomatitis in the ectodermal derivatives (mucosa of the cheeks, tongue and the hard palate). This component proved to be fully identical to the antigens of the mucosa of the soft palate, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine, which were entodermal derivatives. No entodermal antigen was revealed in the other organs and tissues under study.

[Regeneration of mouth mucosa in the buccal plane following graft procurement for reconstruction of bulbar urethral stenoses].

The use of free buccal mucosal grafts in the treatment of urethral strictures has become very popular. In 1996 and 1997 we harvested free buccal mucosal grafts up to 7 cm long and 4 cm wide from 12 patients who underwent urologic surgery for urethral strictures. In 2 patients the donor site was closed primarily by sutures. Four patients received Lyodura and another 4 patients received Syspurderm as temporary wound coverage. In 2 patients Ethisorp patches were used. Donor site pain was judged by the patients on a visual analogue scale during the first postoperative week. The 2 patients who received the Ethisorp patches complained of more intense pain, probably caused by the rigidity of the material. In all patients regeneration of the donor site mucosa was good. During the follow-up period of 4-18 months scar formation at the lower vestibulum was noticed as the only complication. Permanent limitation of mouth opening, stenosis of the parotid duct or hypesthesia did not occur.

[Degree of inflammation of the mouth mucosa in leukemia patients under cytostatic therapy].

The aim of this study is the registration and the chronological control of inflammatory alterations in the oral mucosa of patients with acute leukaemia under cytostatic treatment. Thirteen patients with acute myeloid leukaemia or acute lymphatic leukaemia were investigated in three oral regions (gingiva, buccal and palatine mucosa) before, during and after cytotoxic drug application for a period of 4-6 weeks by means of exfoliative cytology. Before therapy, patients with leukaemia showed a significant increase in the number of cells from deeper epithelial layers and a significant decrease of the keratinization index for all investigated regions. This is a consequence of the general inflammatory alteration in all mucosal areas. During cytotoxic drug application these findings were modified only for the palatine mucosa. Immediately after the end of cytotoxic drug application only the buccal mucosa showed a slight but not significant tendency for normalization. At this time, only for the palatine mucosa was there a significant tendency toward regression. The study underlines the necessity for intensive dental care of patients with acute leukaemia after treatment with cytotoxic drug, even when the oral mucosa is clinically inconspicuous, as the inflammatory activity may take place subclinically in strongly stressed or vulnerable regions of mucosa.
