Impact of the International Tumor Budding Consensus Conference Recommendations in Oral Cancer.

Objectives: Tumor budding was suggested as a valuable prognostic factor in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) but lacks a standardized scoring system. This study evaluates tumor budding in OSCC using the scoring system recommended by the International Tumor Budding Consensus Conference (ITBCC) 2016.

Materials And Methods: The study included 114 patients with resected OSCC.

Functionalization of ZnAl-Layered Double Hydroxide with Ensulizole and Its Application as a UV-Protective Agent in a Transparent Polymer Coating.

In this study, we propose a promising photoprotective additive that combines the advantages of both organic UV absorbers and inorganic particles without compromising the properties of the paint material. This additive involves the intercalation of a well-known organic UV absorber, 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonic acid (PBISA), into zinc-aluminum layered double hydroxide (ZnAl-LDH). Three ZnAl-LDH intercalates with PBISA were prepared using various methods based on either anion exchange or direct synthesis.

Synthesis and Exfoliation of Calcium Organophosphonates for Tailoring Rheological Properties of Sodium Alginate Solutions: A Path toward Polysaccharide-Based Bioink.

Layered nanoparticles with surface charge are explored as rheological modifiers for extrudable materials, utilizing their ability to induce electrostatic repulsion and create a house-of-cards structure. These nanoparticles provide mechanical support to the polymer matrix, resulting in increased viscosity and storage modulus. Moreover, their advantageous aspect ratio allows for shear-induced orientation and decreased viscosity during flow.

Pattern of invasion of oral squamous cell carcinoma and its relation to the presence of nodal metastases - a review.

Squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity represent the largest group of malignancies in this area. Currently, there are many prognostic histopathological factors, according to which the maxillofacial surgeon in collaboration with the oncologist is able to determine the prognosis and subsequently also set an appropriate therapy. Nowadays, the squamous cell carcinoma invasion pattern in the area of the "invasive tumor front" seems to be a very important prognostic factor.

Evaluating the Use of TiO Nanoparticles for Toxicity Testing in Pulmonary A549 Cells.

Purpose: Titanium dioxide nanoparticles, 25 nm in size of crystallites (TiO P25), are among the most produced nanomaterials worldwide. The broad use of TiO P25 in material science has implied a request to evaluate their biological effects, especially in the lungs. Hence, the pulmonary A549 cell line has been used to estimate the effects of TiO P25.
