parotitis/albumin

The concentrations of total protein, albumin, amylase, IgA, lactoferrin, lysozyme and kallikrein in parotid saliva from 17 children with juvenile recurrent parotitis (JRP) in a non-active phase of disease and in healthy controls of the same number, sex and age were analysed after gustatory

By means of acrylamidgelectrophoresis parotid secretions of patients with acute and chronic parotitis were examined. Thereby significant changes in protein patterns of electrophoretic separation were found. Especially two bands are described in detail. One in the cathodal near gel region, the

The right parotid duct of rats was instilled five to eight times with bovine serum albumin at daily intervals. Acute parotitis developed in non-sensitized animals, while chronic destructive sialoadenitis ensued in preimmunized rats. The morphological changes were reminiscent of those found in the

IgG4-related disease preferentially involves the kidney by tubulointerstitial nephritis with IgG4-positive plasma cell filtration and/or membranous glomerulonephritis. We reported the case of a 68-year-old man with IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis combined with antiphospholipase A2 receptor

Sialochemistry was performed on the stimulated parotid secretion of a group of patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS) having a Grade 4 lymphocytic infiltrate of their minor labial salivary glands and a normal control group. Parameters examined included flow rate, and concentration of sodium,
