Determination of the human salivary peptides histatins 1, 3, 5 and statherin by high-performance liquid chromatography and by diode-array detection.

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with diode-array detection for the quantification of several human salivary peptides is described. Sample pretreatment consisted of the acidification of whole saliva by phosphate buffer. This treatment produced precipitation of mucins, alpha-amylases and other high-molecular-mass salivary proteins, simultaneous inhibition of intrinsic protease activities and reduction of sample viscosity. Direct HPLC analysis by diode-array detection of the resulting acidic sample allowed one to quantify histatin 1, histatin 3, histatin 5, statherin, as well as uric acid, in normal subjects. Moreover, the groups of peaks pertaining to proline-rich proteins and cystatins were tentatively identified. The method can be useful in assessing the concentration of salivary peptides from normal subjects and from patients suffering oral and/or periodontal diseases.

[Clinico-statistical survey of neoplasms of the oral cavity in a Sardinian population].

The AA. examine 14,987 bioptic investigations comings from Anatomy and Pathologic Histology Institute of Cagliari University relieved during the period 1936-1968 (twenty-eight years). They stop on main data giving prominence to: incidence of stomatologic cases, of benignant and malignant tumours, of inflammatory and precancerous states in the mouth. They moreover describe neoplasia frequency in reference to histologic type, to sex, to age and to localization.

[Apicectomy and replantation. Report of a clinical case].

The AA. report a case treated with cyst-enucleation, apicaectomy and tooth replantation and then prosthetic management, which they control for the last twenty years, and beyond initial expectations, they could establish an astonishing result indeed.
