Lymph nodes in oral squamous cell carcinoma: a comprehensive anatomical perspective.
Clin Exp Metastasis
December 2024
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) often exhibits a propensity for metastasis to lymph nodes (LNs), significantly influencing prognosis. Neck dissection (ND) is an important part in the treatment of OSCC. Variations in the preference for and pathways of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in different regions of the oral cavity have been observed.

- Neck dissection is a common treatment for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), but it can lead to complications that affect patient quality of life and immune response.
- This study analyzed literature on lymph node metastasis (LNM) in OSCC, identifying 17 relevant studies and calculating LNM frequencies across different neck levels.
- The findings suggest low LNM frequencies at certain levels and indicate that more conservative treatment approaches could be beneficial, helping doctors optimize surgical decisions while preserving lymph nodes.
Article Synopsis
- mRNA vaccines show high effectiveness against COVID-19 and potential for treating various cancers, but the understanding of key components like adjuvants is still limited.
- The development of adjuvants is in early stages, and current adjuvant platforms and drug delivery systems (DDS) may need a new definition due to their novel immunostimulatory properties.
- The review highlights challenges in using cancer mRNA vaccine adjuvants, including immune-related side effects and effectiveness in older adults, and suggests strategies to enhance their design and application.
Postoperative volume maintenance rate of microvascular free flap in oral and maxillofacial region: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
J Stomatol Oral Maxillofac Surg
September 2024
Background And Objectives: The resorption of flap's volume can be frequently observed in the transplantation of microvascular free flaps, which could significantly affect postoperative function. Therefore, it's essential to comprehend the postoperative flap volume and the mechanisms behind before making clinical decisions.
Methods: Literature search was conducted from database on PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Chinese database and Google Scholar.
BACKGROUND Chewing dysfunction is one of the most common serious complications after a stroke. It may be influenced by the hardness of the masseter muscle and masticatory performance; however, the association between these 2 factors is not explicit. Thus, it is meaningful to explore the functional status of the masseter muscle among stroke patients.

J Phys Condens Matter
April 2012
The magnetopolaron is formed via electron-acoustic deformation phonon coupling in the presence of a magnetic field in monolayer graphene. We find that an energy gap (EG) is opened due to the electron-phonon coupling. Both linear and square-root forms for the dependence of the EG on the magnetic field are obtained, which are in agreement with experimental measurements.
