Oral Papillomatosis: Its Relation with Human Papilloma Virus Infection and Local Immunity-An Update.

Oral papilloma lesions may appear as a result of HPV infection, or not, and only special molecular methods could differentiate them. Low-risk and high-risk HPV types could induce oral HPV papillomatosis with different natural evolution, clearance and persistence mechanisms. The pathogenic mechanisms are based on the crosstalk between the oral epithelial and immune cells and this very efficient virus.

Oxidative Stress and Inflammation Interdependence in Multiple Sclerosis.

The study aims to explore the oxidative status related to inflammation in peripheral blood of stable relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with low disability. In this study, 31 people were included and divided into two groups: an MS group in which 16 relapsing-remitting MS patients with a low disability level (age 38.9 ± 7.

Molecular and cellular stratagem of brain metastases associated with melanoma.

Tumors of the central nervous system are the most prevalent complications of melanoma, especially in the late stage of disease. Melanoma, lung and breast cancer are the leading cause of secondary tumors in the brain, the majority of them having a poor outcome. Brain dissemination is developed in half of stage IV melanomas and these cases can increase up to 75%, having a major impact on the quality of life.

Histopathological and immunohistochemical study of laterocervical lymph node metastases of unknown primary origin.

In this study, we examined histopathologically and immunohistochemically 24 cases of laterocervical lymph node metastases with unknown primary origin. For immunohistochemical study, we used a large panel of antibodies represented by CK7, CK19, CK20, CKAE1/AE3, CK34betaE12, TTF1, HBME-1, CEA, MUC5AC and EBV. In the cases studied tumors accompanied by seemingly primitive adenopathies were located in the thyroid, lung, esophagus, stomach, rhinopharynx, hypopharynx, oropharynx and larynx.
