Abstract

Background: The parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands, as well as the smaller subsidiary glands, are all the examples of the salivary glands. The likelihood of the salivary glands being impacted by snuff components increases due to this close proximity of the salivary glands to the mouth when snuff is used. The aim of this study was to evaluate the salivary glands of the Sudanese snuff-dippers. Methods: Sixty-five adult snuff-dippers (research group) and 36 adult nonusers (control group) were enrolled in the study. Sonography of the submandibular and parotid glands was performed; size, blood flow, echogenicity, echotexture, and any other pathological changes were evaluated. The study was conducted in the ultrasound unit at our institution from June 2021 to June 2022. Results: The result of the study showed that the average size of the left submandibular gland and left and right parotid glands of snuff-dippers was significantly greater than the average size of nonusers. Blood supply and tissue characteristics were normal. Conclusion: The study concluded that the snuff use could affect the parotid and submandibular glands; ultrasonography is a modality of choice in the examination of the salivary glands of snuff users and other tobacco users.

苏丹鼻吸者唾液腺的超声评估

背景:腮腺、下颌骨和舌下腺，以及较小的附属腺，都是唾液腺的例子。唾液腺受到鼻烟成分影响的可能性增加，因为使用鼻烟时唾液腺靠近嘴巴。本研究的目的是评估苏丹鼻烟的唾液腺。方法:选取65名成人吸鼻烟者(研究组)和36名成人不吸鼻烟者(对照组)。行颌下腺和腮腺超声检查;评估大小、血流、回声性、回声结构和任何其他病理改变。本研究于2021年6月至2022年6月在我院超声科进行。结果:研究结果显示，吸鼻烟者的左颌下腺和左右腮腺的平均大小明显大于不吸鼻烟者的平均大小。血供及组织特征正常。结论:鼻烟使用对腮腺和颌下腺有影响;超声检查是鼻烟使用者和其他烟草使用者唾液腺检查的一种选择。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Medical Ultrasound is the peer-reviewed publication of the Asian Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, and the Chinese Taipei Society of Ultrasound in Medicine. Its aim is to promote clinical and scientific research in ultrasonography, and to serve as a channel of communication among sonologists, sonographers, and medical ultrasound physicians in the Asia-Pacific region and wider international community. The Journal invites original contributions relating to the clinical and laboratory investigations and applications of ultrasonography.
