Optical simulations of a noninvasive technique for the diagnosis of diseased salivary glands in situ.

A simulation experiment for three-dimensional (3D) imaging of exogenous fluorescinated antibodies that specifically bind to infiltrating lymphocytes in minor salivary glands was carried out. Small (approximately 1 mm3 volume) rhodamine targets, which mimic diseased minor salivary glands labeled with fluorescent antibodies to infiltrating lymphocytes in Sjøgren's syndrome, were embedded in a highly scattering tissue phantom consisting of a thick Delrin disk covered by index matched Delrin slabs of various thickness. In this way the variation of fluorescence profiles on the surface of tissue could be examined corresponding to the range of depths of the salivary glands in vivo. Surface images were obtained for different target depths and radial distances from laser excitation to target fluorophore. These images were analyzed and compared to calculations based on random walk theory in turbid media, using previously determined scattering and absorption coefficients of the Delrin. Excellent agreement between the surface profiles experimentally measured and those predicted by our random walk theory was obtained. Derivation of these theoretical expressions is a necessary step toward devising an inverse algorithm which may have the potential expressions to perform 3D reconstruction of the concentration distribution of fluorescent labels within tissue.

Polycystic disease of salivary glands.

Polycystic disease of salivary glands is a rare condition which hitherto has been reported only in the parotid glands. We report a case in which an accessory salivary gland had evidence of polycystic disease.

Bilateral and multicystic major salivary gland disease: a rare presentation of primary Sjögren's syndrome.

We present a case of a 15-year-old girl with bilateral parotid and sub-mandibular salivary gland enlargement as the sole presentation of primary Sjögren's syndrome. The clinical, radiological, immunological and pathological features have been discussed. The relevant literature has been reviewed. To our knowledge this is the only reported case of Sjögren's syndrome presenting as multicystic disease with bilateral major salivary gland involvement.

[The role of mumps in the development of chronic salivary gland diseases].

Examinations of 47 patients with various forms of chronic sialadenitis have demonstrated that the epidemic parotitis virus is not the principal factor in the development of this condition. Analysis of the epidemiologic anamnesis and comprehensive examinations carried out after abatement of the acute process help eliminate diagnostic errors. Both epidemic parotitis and chronic sialadenitis may run a latent course.
