Abstract:Dense infiltration of plasma cells in the gingiva may be an isolated granuloma or diffusely involve the gingiva caused due to a variety of edible allergens. Prerequisite diagnosis of plasma cell gingivitis is important in order to differentiate it from other analogous malignancies. Here we have documented a case of plasma cell gingivitis due to the indiscriminate use of an herbal product. A 26 year old male presented with enlarged and edematous gingiva. A series of CD (cluster of differentiation) markers were used to confirm diagnosis and to distinguish between malignant and non malignant lesions.Key words: Antigens, Cell Differentiation, Gingiva, Gingivitis, Granuloma.
It was observed that the amplitudes of DPOAE were significantly lower in tinnitus patients than that of persons without complaint of tinnitus, at a frequency of 1281-1560, 5120-6250, 7243-8837 Hz, which imply that decrease of DPOAEs amplitudes may be related to the presence of tinnitus. It can be concluded that there is association between tinnitus and reduced OHC activity which indicate the OHC of cochlea are involved in the generation of tinnitus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
