Bibliometric analysis of 100 most cited papers on oral proliferative verrucous leukoplakia.

Background: Bibliometric analysis of highly cited papers in a particular discipline brings forward the impactful papers published, the significant journals and the researchers in the field. These studies help in identifying research trends and research lacunae in the field, thus guiding the future research works. Oral proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (OPVL) is a challenging lesion with no uniform diagnostic criteria.

Immunohistochemical analysis of p53 and p63 in selected odontogenic cysts and tumours.

Background: It is a well-recognized fact that abnormal cell proliferation plays a crucial role in the development of odontogenic lesions. p53 is a tumour-suppressor gene which assists in cell cycle regulation and p63 is a homolog of p53 responsible for ectodermal differentiation and maintenance of stratified epithelial progenitor-cell. Analysing the tissue expression of p53 and p63 in odontogenic lesions may provide us with an insight into their potential role in the development of these lesions.

Predominantly oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma of palate: A case report.

Oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinoma (OMEC) is an uncommon variant of mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Histopathologically, it is characterised by the predominance of cells with large polygonal morphology and with an abundance of eosinophilic granules. We present a rare case of OMEC manifested as painless palatal swelling in a 25-year-old young male.

Evaluation of CYP1B1, oxidative stress and phase II detoxification enzyme status in oral cancer progression model.

Background: Tobacco is one of the main etiological factors for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD). CYP1B1 is an enzyme which plays a major role in the phase I detoxification of tobacco, the byproducts of which are subsequently detoxified by phase II enzymes Glutathione S Transferase (GST). We attempted to evaluate the L432V polymorphism and tissue expression of CYP1B1, along with the oxidant-antioxidant status in OSCC progression model.

Bibliometric analysis of highly cited papers on oral mucosal lesions in COVID-19: Trends and impact in medical literature.

Objective: Bibliometric analysis of highly cited papers facilitates researchers in formulating strategic research possibilities and addressing gaps in specific domains. In this context, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to identify published papers on "oral mucosal lesions in COVID-19" within medical literature.

Methods: A comprehensive search was performed in the Scopus database in July 2023.

Hepatic oxylipin profiles in mouse models of Wilson disease: New insights into early hepatic manifestations.

Hepatic inflammation is commonly identified in Wilson disease (WD), a genetic disease of hepatic and brain copper accumulation. Copper accumulation is associated with increased oxidative stress and reactive oxygen species generation which may result in non-enzymatic oxidation of membrane-bound polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). PUFA can be oxidized enzymatically via lipoxygenases (LOX), cyclooxygenases (COX), and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (CYP).

Clinico-pathological and prognostic overview of metastasizing ameloblastoma: An overview of the systematic reviews.

Background: Metastasizing Ameloblastoma (MA) is an aggressive variant of ameloblastoma (AM) with the ability to metastasize without cytological malignant changes. Thus it aims to comprehensively review the clinico-pathological and prognostic aspects of MA through integration of current literature.

Methods: Electronic searches were conducted in PubMed-MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar.
