The prevalence of macrophotographically documented sialadenitis in the palatal mucosa of 184 probands, aged 23 yr or older, was studied in the Koster Health project. A total of 75 (mean age 58.9) revealed inflammatory changes around the duct orifices of the palatal glands. In 10, biopsies were performed for histomorphologic analyses to confirm the diagnosis of sialadenitis. Statistics with matched pairs showed a significantly higher ratio of tobacco use among individuals with sialadenitis than among those with clinically unchanged palatal gland orifices. A relationship between the use of diuretics and sialadenitis was also statistically significant. It can be concluded that tobacco use and diuretics may induce inflammatory changes in the palatal glands and that macrophotography of the palatal mucosa may serve as a valuable, non-invasive method for scoring sialadenitis.
在科斯特健康项目中，对184名年龄在23岁及以上的先证者腭黏膜进行微距摄影记录的涎腺炎患病率进行了研究。共有75人（平均年龄58.9岁）显示腭腺导管口周围有炎症变化。其中10人进行了活检以进行组织形态学分析，以确诊涎腺炎。配对统计显示，患涎腺炎的个体中吸烟比例显著高于腭腺口临床无变化的个体。利尿剂的使用与涎腺炎之间的关系在统计学上也具有显著性。可以得出结论，吸烟和使用利尿剂可能会诱发腭腺的炎症变化，并且腭黏膜微距摄影可作为一种有价值的非侵入性方法来评估涎腺炎。
