Purpose: To detect the expression and distribution of protein kinase A I (PKA I) in oral squamous cell carcinoma as well as its clinicalpathological significance.
Methods: The expression of PKA I was investigated in 40 oral squamous cell carcinomas and 15 normal tissues by immunohistochemistry. The activity of PKAI was detected in 20 human oral squamous cell carcinomas and adjacent normal tissues with Western blot. The data was analysed with SPSS 11.5 for Student's t test, Chi-between different square test and linear correlation analysis.
Results: The expression of PKA I was significantly higher in oral squamous cell carcinomas than in normal tissues (P<0.05). There were no differences degrees of histodifferentiation and clinical phases (P>0.05). The activity of PKA I was significantly higher in oral squamous cell carcinomas than in normal tissues (P<0.01), there were obvious dependability of the expression and activity of PKA I (P<0.01).
Conclusions: Protein kinase A I highly expressed in oral squamous cell carcinomas, but was not related to the degree of histodifferentiation and the clinical phases. Oral squamous cell carcinoma correlated with the expression and activity of PKA I and the activation of PKA I was one of the factors for proliferation of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Background: Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) released by tumor cells (tumor-derived sEV; TEX) mediate intercellular communication between tumor and non-malignant cells and were shown to impact disease progression. This study investigates the relationship between the expression levels of the vesiculation-related genes linked to sEV production and the tumor microenvironment (TME).
Methods: Two independent gene sets were analyzed, both previously linked to sEV production in various non-malignant or malignant cells.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common form of head and neck cancer. The current standard for treating primary OSCC is surgical resection combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Despite improved therapeutic strategies, OSCC has high rates of metastasis and mortality, with one in two patients dying of the disease.

Purpose: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a significant public health challenge associated with high mortality rates primarily due to its invasive and metastatic behavior. This study aimed to evaluate the expression patterns of five critical biomarkers: β-catenin, E-cadherin, podoplanin (PDPN), CXCR4, and p53 in OSCC tissues and to investigate their correlations with clinicopathologic features and patient outcomes.
Methods: We conducted an immunohistochemical analysis utilizing tissue microarrays (TMAs) from 95 patients diagnosed with primary OSCC.

We present the case of a 51-year-old man with Von Hippel-Lindau disease and a history of renal transplantation who developed a persistent, painful tongue lesion with episodes of significant swelling. Given his history of prolonged immunosuppression and elevated cancer risk, oral squamous cell carcinoma was a major concern. However, histopathological evaluation confirmed recrudescent herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection rather than malignancy.

The aim of this study was to perform a clinicopathological analysis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in young patients from the northeast of Brazil and compare with elderly individuals. This retrospective study reviewed 104 OSCC cases from 2000 to 2015, focusing on patients under 40 and over 60 at diagnosis. Forty-two patients under 40 years old (40.
