Identification, characterization and microRNA expression profiling of side population cells in human oral squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cell lines.

The present study aimed to evaluate the stem cell markers, characteristics and biological functions of cancer stem‑like side population (SP) cells in human oral cancer. SP cells were isolated from the human oral squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cell line by Hoechst 33342 fluorescence dye and flow cytometry. The colony forming and proliferative capability of SP and non‑SP cells were detected using a live‑cell analysis system in vitro.

[Changes of cementum endotoxin levels in different teeth with periodontitis treated with root conditioning].

Purpose: To observe the changes of endotoxin levels after different teeth with periodontitis were treated with different methods. METHODS： Six healthy premolars extracted for orthodontic reasons and 36 posterior teeth extracted due to severe periodontitis were selected. Each tooth was processed from two 4 mm×4 mm×1 mm cementum pieces 2 mm under the cementum-enamel junction, each tooth with periodontitis was numbered.

Subcellular location and photodynamic therapeutic effect of chlorin e6 in the human tongue squamous cell cancer Tca8113 cell line.

The present study aimed to investigate the distribution and photodynamic therapeutic effect of chlorin e6 (Ce6) in the human tongue squamous cell carcinoma Tca8113 cell line . The distribution of Ce6 in the Tca8113 cells was observed combined with mitochondrial and lysosomal fluorescent probes. Next, 630-nm semiconductor laser irradiation was performed.
