[Effect of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on invasion of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line Cal-27].

Purpose: To investigate the effect of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) on invasion of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cell line Cal-27 and its mechanism.

Methods: hBM-MSCs and Cal-27 were cultured respectively, and the morphology of the cells was observed under an inverted microscope. The co-cultured Cal-27 cells were obtained by co-culture of hBM-MSCs and Cal-27.

Tongue lipoma in an older male: A case report and literature review of patients with tongue lipoma reported in China.

Lipoma is the most common benign tumor that occurs at any region where adipose tissue is present. However, as the tongue is devoid of adipocyte it is an extremely rare site for a lipoma to develop, particularly in China. The present study reports the presence of a tongue lipoma in a 78-year-old man that measured 2.

[Clinical anatomy of iliac bone grafts used for mandibular reconstruction and dental implantation].

Objective: To investigate the anatomical features of iliac bone grafts used for mandibular reconstruction and dental implantation.

Methods: Sixteen cadavers were dissected. The length, width, height and cortical thickness of the iliac bone were measured with respect to points determined by the relative dimensions of the bone.
