Study May Help Head and Neck Cancer Patients Find Relief From Dry Mouth

Cancer patients usually undergo radiation therapy. The article explains that in the cases of head and neck cancer, the radiation therapy affects the patient’s salivary flow, this causing dry mouth. Doctors have been searching for new drugs and other kinds of treatments that might help restore adequate salivary flow in patients under radiation therapy secondary to head and neck cancer. These people’s salivary glands had been damaged by radiation treatment as the radiation causes as much damage to healthy salivary glands and tumor cells. By the late 1980s doctors turned their attention to gene transfer. The treatment is also sometimes called gene therapy. The concept behind this therapy relies on transferring a fluid-transporting gene into the damaged salivary glands of the patient that can be clearly seen under usb-microscope. Resaerchers and doctors believe so that it could potentially restore some degree of salivary flow and secretion into the mouth. The problem they faced however was how to deliver a gene into a salivary gland. The doctors found that the process might be possible to put a gene and its viral vector into a syringe and infuse them directly into the gland through its opening in the mouth. (more…)

This article tells of some scientists characterizing ion channel in the salivary glands. The article explains the calcium activated potassium channels today are known to play various crucial physiological roles in the human body. The said channels have first been described in red blood cells in the late 1950s. The channels tasks are important. They include several roles such as the maintaining vascular tone to red blood cells. They are also responsible for regulating the firing rate of neurons and for controlling the secretion of the salivary gland that can be seen under usb-microscope. (more…)

New Model for Salivary Gland Tumors

The article tells of a new model for salivary gland tumors. Salivary gland tumors that can be clearly seen under usb-microscope are uncontrolled growth of cells that started in saliva producing glands. Structures like the tongue, cheeks, and palate contain many glands that produce saliva. There are enzymes in the saliva that can be seen clearly under usb-microscope. They even act as catalysts that speed up metabolic processes. They are known to be responsible in beginning the digestion of food while it is still in the mouth. There are three big pairs of salivary glands. The major glands are the parotid glands, submandibular glands and sublingual glands. They are the large and paired salivary glands. The parotids are located inside the cheeks below the ears. The submandibular glands on the other hand are located on the floor of the mouth,. They are specifically on the inner side of each part of the lower jaw. Lastly, the sublingual glands are also in the floor of the mouth, under the tongue. (more…)

Study Correlates Antimicrobial Peptides and Tooth Decay in Children

In this article it stressed that antimicrobial peptides, which is also called host defense peptides, are an evolutionarily conserved component of the innate immune response and are found among all classes of life. These said peptides are powerful, broad-spectrum antibiotics, which demonstrate potential as novel therapeutic agents. Antimicrobial peptides have been demonstrated to kill Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria that can be clearly seen under a usb-microscopes which includes strains that are resistant to conventional antibiotics according to scientists, mycobacteria alsoincluding Mycobacterium tuberculosis, envelopes viruses, fungi and even transformed or cancerous cells as they call it. Dissimilar the preponderance of conventional antibiotics it appears as though antimicrobial peptides may also have the ability to enhance immunity by functioning as immunomodulators. Antimicrobial peptides can be clearly seen under usb-microscopes. (more…)
