Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cryoablation are alternative forms of therapy used widely in various pathological states, including treatment of carcinogenesis. The reason is that ablation techniques have ability of modulating the immune system. Furthermore, recent studies have applied this form of therapy on tumor microenvironment and in the systematic circulation.

However, pathological alterations caused by inflammatory insults might impact the regenerative capacities of these cells. Bone-marrow-derived human mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) would accelerate alveolar bone regeneration by transplantation, compared to PDLSCs.

Nine patients with advanced oral carcinoma were treated with Nimotuzumab combined with docetaxel-cisplatin-fluorouracil regimen (test group). The treatment was given as follows: Nimotuzumab 200 mg, given as intravenous infusion once a week for 6 weeks; docetaxel and cisplatin, 75 mg/m(2) each, on day 1 only; 5-fluorouracil, 750 mg/m(2) infused continually for 8 h, used from day 1 to 5; the total cycle was for 21 days.

- The study evaluated the effectiveness of (125)I radioactive seed implantation combined with a prosthetic denture in treating patients with glandule palatine malignancy.
- Ten patients underwent tumor removal, followed by implantation of radioactive seeds and fitting of a dental prosthesis to address tissue defects.
- Results showed no tumor recurrence or metastasis in the follow-up period, along with significant improvements in speech, chewing, and facial aesthetics, indicating a successful treatment approach.
[Clinical observation of Foley pressurized bladders in treating 32 cases of maxillary comminuted fractures].

Purpose: To discuss the application of Foley pressurized bladders with rigid internal fixation in treating 32 cases of maxillary comminuted fractures and analyze the clinical advantages.
Methods: All the 32 cases of maxillary comminuted fractures were approached with maxillary vestibular or coronary incision. The infraorbital border and maxillary forehead were replaced and fixed with titanium plate.
