xerostomia/프롤린

Acidic proline-rich proteins (APRP) were quantitated immunochemically in salivary secretions from groups of: caries-resistant (CR) and caries-susceptible (CS) subjects; heavy- and light-calculus-formers; and patients with Sjögren's Syndrome, drug-induced xerostomia, and recurrent parotitis. In all

In an ongoing attempt to investigate qualitative salivary parameters in diseases affecting salivary glands, patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were examined. Patients were selected from the Oslo RA register for the present study if they fulfilled the following criteria: age 52-74 years, disease

Clinical trials are reviewed, involving proteins and peptides derived from milk (predominantly bovine), with the exception of lactoferrin, which will be the subject of another article. The most explored milk fraction is α-lactalbumin (LA), which is often applied with glycomacropeptide (GMP) - a

UNASSIGNED This study investigated the dental health problems and saliva characteristics of children under psychostimulant therapy for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). UNASSIGNED One hundred and twenty children aged 7-12 years were divided into three groups. Groups 1-2 comprised

BACKGROUND Salivary gland dysfunction has traditionally been associated with old age, and complaints of xerostomia are common in an elderly population. Measurement of certain salivary constituents can provide information about the functional ability of discrete areas of the salivary gland. To our

Xerostomia, also known as dry mouth, is caused by a reduction in salivary secretion and by changes in the composition of saliva associated with the malfunction of salivary glands. Xerostomia decreases quality of life. In the present study, we investigated the effects of peptides derived from

Aquaporins are a family of homologous membrane proteins that function as highly selective water channels. Aquaporin-5 (AQP5) is uniquely present in lacrimal and salivary glands, where it accounts for normal tear and saliva production. We tested the hypothesis that orally administered human

Salivary research is at a critical crossroads regarding the clinical application of basic knowledge. Studies by numerous salivary researchers over the last 5 years using advanced technologies (e.g., protein chemistry, molecular biology, and biophysics) have demonstrated that the structural

<p>Salivary gland hypofunction, also known as xerostomia, occurs as a result of radiotherapy for head and neck cancer, autoimmune diseases, or aging. Xerostomia leads to oral health problems and thus affects the quality of life. Biological salivary gland tissue

Radiotherapy administrated to patients with head and neck malignancies and prior to bone marrow transplantation often results in severe xerostomia. We evaluated the expression of early response proto-oncogenes (c-fos and jun B), tissue specific genes (proline rich protein [PRP] and kallikrein), and

A feeling of mouth dryness occurs from actual drying of the oral surfaces or from sampling astringent substances such as polyphenols (e.g., tannins in brewed tea and wine), which bind proline-rich proteins in saliva to reduce its lubricity. Here we investigated the interactions between physical

Cyclic antidepressants are still a dominating group of psychotherapeutic drugs used in the treatment of depression. One of their major side effect is salivary gland dysfunction (oral dryness, xerostomia), leading in humans to increased oral disease and dysfunction of speech, chewing, swallowing and
