Smac/DIABLO protein acts as an independent prognostic factor in oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) poses significant health risks with increasing incidence and mortality rates. In this context, there is an urgent need to explore novel biomarkers to enhance therapeutic strategies and improve survival. Understanding apoptotic evasion in cancer pathogenesis, this pioneering study aims to investigate the correlation between a pro-apoptotic protein Smac/DIABLO and patient prognosis within the OSCC cohort.

Tumor budding is a prognostic factor in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: A comprehensive meta-analysis and trial sequential analysis.

Background: Mortality is linked to tumor budding (TB) in certain neoplasms. TB as a relevant histopathological feature is conditioned by tumor site, a specific study on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is needed.

Methods: A comprehensive meta-analysis was undertaken to investigate the relationship between TB and HNSCC-related outcomes.

Correlation of Bcl-2 expression with prognosis and survival in patients with head and neck cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a growing disease, affecting more than 700.000 cases per year and ranking as the sixth most prevalent type of cancer worldwide. The impossibility of properly entering into apoptosis directly influences uncontrolled growth and consequently tumor development and progression.

Caspase 3 and Cleaved Caspase 3 Expression in Tumorogenesis and Its Correlations with Prognosis in Head and Neck Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is an ascending and agressive disease. The search for new molecular markers is emerging to solve difficulties in diagnosis, risk management, prognosis and effectiveness of treatments. Proteins related to apoptotic machinery have been identified as potential biomarkers.

Efficacy of Ciprofloxacin, Metronidazole and Minocycline in Ordered Mesoporous Silica against for Dental Pulp Revascularization: An In-Vitro Study.

Pulp revascularization of teeth with necrotic pulp has become an alternative treatment in cases with immature apex. Microbial control is essential to achieve a successful outcome and continued root development. Enterococcus faecalis (E.

Allergic rhinitis improvement after septorhinoplasty in a sample of allergic rhinitis patients with septal deviation: a quasi-experimental study.

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects almost 30% of the adult population.

Objective: To describe and compare the evolution of symptoms in patients diagnosed with AR and septal deviation prior to and following septoplasty (STP).

Design And Setting: Quasi-experimental study developed in A Coruña University Hospital.

Efficacy of different formulations of nystatin in an experimental model of oral candidiasis in sialoadenectomized rats.

Background/purpose: Oral candidiasis is the most common fungal infection of the oral cavity and has become a focus of attention in recent years because of its association with highly topical immunosuppressive conditions. The aims of this study were to determine the value of microbiological, clinical and histological parameters of colonisation of the dorsal tongue surface as indicators of disease severity, and to evaluate therapeutic response to different formulations of nystatin.

Materials And Methods: We used 84 males, 2-month-old Sprague-Dawley sialoadenectomized rats.

Analysis of the unpredictable migration of impacted mandibular third molars: A pilot study.

Background: Eruption of an impacted mandibular third molar (3MM) is often unpredictable. The objective of this study was to establish the radiographic parameters of migration in patients whose 3MMs evolved unpredictably.

Material And Methods: This was a retrospective observational study.

Comprehensive Genomic Review of TCGA Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCC).

The aim of this present study was to comprehensively describe somatic DNA alterations and transcriptional alterations in the last extension of the HNSCC subsets in TCGA, encompassing a total of 528 tumours. In order to achieve this goal, transcriptional analysis, functional enrichment assays, survival analysis, somatic copy number alteration analysis and somatic alteration analysis were carried out. A total of 3491 deregulated genes were found in HNSCC patients, and the functional analysis carried out determined that tissue development and cell differentiation were the most relevant signalling pathways in upregulated and downregulated genes, respectively.

miRNAs expression of oral squamous cell carcinoma patients: Validation of two putative biomarkers.

microRNA expression patterns have provided new directions in the search of biomarkers with prognostic value and even in the search of novel therapeutic targets for several neoplasms. Specifically, miRNAs profiling in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) represents a web of intrigue in the study of oral carcinogenesis. The objective of the present study was twofold:The first study phase comprised case-control groups: A) 8 OSCC-affected patients and 8 healthy controls.
