Effect of Nasturtium Extract on Oral Cancer.

Background: Considering the global prevalence of cancers and the complications of common cancer treatments, there is growing interest in using medicinal herbs to complement cancer treatments and reduce treatment's side effects. Therefore, we investigate the effect of the extract of Nasturtium on the viability of oral cancer cells.

Materials And Methods: In this experimental study, we prepared aqueous extract from Nasturtium leaves and human oral cancer cells (OCC-24) and normal fibroblast cells (HF2FF cell line) from a cell bank.

Correlation between WHO and Modified WHO Classification Systems in the Histopathologic Diagnosis of Oral Lichen Planus Using Intraobserver and Interobserver Variability.

Background: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a relatively common chronic autoimmune disease. In the present study, we tried to correlate the histopathological criteria of WHO and modified WHO (mod.WHO) classification systems using two methods, namely, intraobserver and interobserver observations in these samples.

New diagnostic markers in basal cell carcinoma.

Background: The clinical significance of plasma lipoprotein levels in the diagnosis and prognosis of certain diseases is known fact. Some studies have reported different and contradictory levels of blood lipoproteins in cancer patients. Therefore, we decided to compare lipid profiles in patients with basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and healthy individuals.

Micronucleus Assay of Buccal Mucosal Cells in Hairdressers: The Importance of Occupational Exposure.

Background and objective: Today, the chemical materials available in hair dyes are considered risk factors for many cancers, particularly oral cancer. This study was performed to study the effect of occupational exposure on micronucleus (MN) frequency of buccal mucosa cells in hairdressers. Materials and methods: This historical cohort study was performed on 28 hairdressers and 28 control samples.

Prognostic New Marker (Bone Morphogenetic Protein 7) in Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Aim: Despite advances in the treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), its prognosis is still poor. Therefore, it is important to identify the prognostic factors. The aim was to investigate the level of bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7) in SCC of tongue and its relationship with some clinicopathologic parameters.
