The potential mechanism of WT1-associated protein-induced N-6-methyladenosine modification of colony-stimulating factor 2 in the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma by JAK/STAT3 pathway regulation.

Colony-stimulating factor 2 (CSF2) plays a regulatory role in numerous cancers. However, there is needed to investigate the role of CSF2 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) malignant phenotype and the specific mechanisms of CSF2 N-6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. Therefore, we investigated the regulatory mechanism of m6A-modified CSF2 by WT1-associated protein (WTAP) in OSCC via qRT-PCR, western blot, WTAP and CSF2 overexpression in OSCC.

A study on related factors affecting dental fear in preschool children.

This study aims to examine the manifestations of dental anxiety (DA) and its influencing factors during dental visits among preschool children. The data of 166 preschool children who visited the Department of Dentistry of our hospital from April 2021 to April 2023 with oral problems were retrieved. Their DA performance was investigated using the Children's Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS).

A study on the mechanism of agonists in regulating transcriptional level of pIgR in salivary gland epithelial cells.

The aim of the present study was to explore the mechanism of agonists in regulating transcriptional level of polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR) in salivary gland epithelial cells, thus revealing the defense effect of salivary immune on bacteria in the oral cavity. Sixty patients with oral bacterial infection and 70 patients suffering from oral diseases without bacterial infection were selected randomly from patients in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from April 2015 to April 2017. Ribonucleic acid (RNA) was extracted from salivary gland epithelial cells of all patients.
