Introduction: Polymeric substances, which are used in medicine, can lead to the development of pathological conditions. Therefore, in toxicological evaluation of polymeric materials for medical purposes the primary task is the creation of the appropriate adequate methods of study. The aim: To study the acini of the rats’ submandibular salivary glands in normal condition and after exposure of 1% methacrylate. Material and methods: Were studied 50 white rats during the influence of 1% methacrylate on the mucosa of the oral cavity. Histological sections of the rats’ submandibular salivary glands in normal condition, on day 14 and 30 of experiment were studied using the UMPT – 7 ultramicrotome of Sumy PA “Selmi”. Results and conclusions: The morphometric study has established that in control group the values of the outer diameter of the submandibular glands’ acini, the diameter of the lumen and the height of the acini epithelial cells was 36,27±2,17 μm, 9,47±0,63 μm and 14,18±1,05 μm, respectively. Histological specimens showed that the acini cells had a prominent basophilia of the cytoplasm and the basally located nucleus. Numerous large homogeneous granules were located in the apical pole of the cells. After influence of the 1% methacrylat there is an increase in the activity of secretory cells, which is confirmed by an increase in the height of epitheliocytes by 25.04% and is a compensatory metacrylate reaction. The increase in salivation further leads to complete depletion of the secretory apparatus of the seromucosal cells, which is confirmed by a decrease in the outer and inner diameters with a decrease in the height of the mandibular salivary glands acini cells by 24.40%.
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.
