- Figure 1.
Measurement of acinar diameter and surface area. Mean acinar diameter (A) and surface area (B) are increased in patients with sialadenosis. Differences did not reach significance.
- Figure 2.
Changes in the expression and distribution pattern of aquaporin 5 (AQP5) in sialadenosis tissues. Differences in the AQP5 distribution pattern were frequently observed in parotid tissues from patients with sialadenosis (#1-5 and 7-9) (see also Table I) compared with normal control tissues. No apical staining of AQP5 can be seen in the negative control of normal and sialadenosis tissues. Arrows indicate the apical region of acinar cells. Depicted in the first image are bars for size comparison.
