Background: The implication of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in human cancers has aroused much concern. In this study, we investigated the function of circ_0000745 and its potential functional mechanisms in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) to further understand OSCC pathogenesis.

Methods: The expression of circ_0000745, miR-488 and cyclin D1 (CCND1) mRNA was measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).

Objective: To explore the effect of MSH3 knock-down on sensitivity of tongue cancer cells to cisplatin.

Methods: Three small interfering RNA (siRNA) fragments targeting MSH3 CDS region were synthesized and transfected into CAL27 cells via Lipofectamine. Real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to assess the efficiency of MSH3 silencing.

Purpose: To investigate and analyze the depression of patients with chronic periodontitis.

Methods: The subjects were divided t into two groups-those with chronic periodontitis and those with healthy periodontal (control group). Each subject was evaluated by questionnaire, the value of each questionnaire with Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (DEQ) and Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) was obtained and the average value of each group's DEQ-A (dependent factor), DEQ-I (self-criticism factor) and SDS was calculated.

Purpose: To investigate the clinical effect of peripheral branch evulsion of trigeminal nerves on trigeminal neuralgia, especially on the aspect of odynolysis and recurrence.

Methods: 136 patients with trigeminal neuralgia underwent peripheral branch evulsion of trigeminal nerves were retrospectively reviewed with three years follow-up period. The odynolysis and recurrence of pain were observed.
