Article Synopsis
  • CHRDL1 is a newly identified mRNA that potentially influences oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), but its specific functions and mechanisms are still unclear.
  • Research utilized various techniques like RT-qPCR and immunohistochemistry to examine how the MED29 gene expression relates to OSCC progression and cellular behaviors like migration and invasion.
  • Results showed that increased MED29 levels in tumor tissues promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cancer cell movement, while CHRDL1 suppresses MED29, thus inhibiting OSCC cell invasion and metastasis.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare differences in facial soft tissue thickness in three-dimensional (3D) images before and after orthognathic surgery in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion and to obtain a better understanding of the relationship between hard and soft tissue changes after surgery.

Materials And Method: The present retrospective study included 31 patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion with mandibular chin deviation greater than 4 mm who had undergone cone-beam computed tomography before and 6 months after surgery. Seven bilateral points were established.
