Effects of Low Magnetic Irradiation on Morphology and Ultrastructure of Parotid Glands in Rats and Amelioration by Vitamin E

Hoda H. Anan, Magdy F. Gawish, Mona G. Amer and Nahla E. Ibrahimm

Background: Human is daily exposed to electromagnetic field from different source in modern societies with associated health impacts. This experiment aims to study the histological structure of parotid gland after exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic field ELF-MF associated with utility grid 50/60 Hertz (Hz) and to detect the possible role of Vitamin E supplementation.
Materials and methods: Thirty adult male albino rats were classified into three groups: Group (I) was control animals, group (II) and (III) were exposed to ELF-MF (50 Hz and 100 – 300 mili Tesla (mT)). Animals of group III were supplemented with daily doses of vitamin E directly before exposure to ELF-MF. Light and electron microscope examination of parotid glands were done.
Results: Degeneration of parotid gland acini and ducts together with cellular infiltrations, fibrosis and mucous transformation of the acinar cells were detected after exposure to ELF-MF. These changes were limited with vitamin E supplementation in group III. So, exposure to ELF-MF leads to parotid gland affection which could be tolerated with vitamin E supplementation.

Granulomatous Mastitis: A Cytological Dilemma

Vidyavathi K, Udayakumar M, Suresh TN and Sreeramulu PN

Granulomatous mastitis (GM) is a rare, chronic inflammatory breast disease of unknown etiology that can mimic malignancy on clinical examination. The cytological features of GM, though consists of epithelioid cells, giant cells and inflammatory cells is not specific and can mimic many other conditions. A thorough work up is essential, as GM is usually a diagnosis of exclusion. We report cytological findings of a case of GM in a 50 yr old female which mimicked carcinoma clinically.
