Purpose: To study the expression and clinical significance of M-phase promoting factor (MPF) in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC).
Methods: The expression of MPF was investigated in 40 salivary adenoid cystic carcinomas and 40 normal salivary tissues by immunohistochemistry. The expression of MPF was detected in SACC-83 and SACC-LM with Western blot. Pearson's Chi-square test, paired t test and linear correlation analysis were used to analyze the data with SPSS 11.5 software package.
Results: The expression of MPF was significantly higher in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma than in normal salivary tissues(P<0.05). There was significant correlation between the level of MPF expression and pathological type(P<0.05). The expression of MPF was significantly higher in SACC-LM than in SACC-83 (P<0.05).
Conclusions: MPF highly expressed in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma, salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma correlated with the expression of MPF and the abnormal activation of MPF was one of the factors for the proliferation of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma. Metastasis in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma correlated with the expression of MPF.

Background: Malignant salivary gland tumors (SGTs) present diagnostic challenges and limited treatment options. This study aims to determine the proportion of malignant SGTs overexpressing the androgen receptor (AR) by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and its association to age, sex, anatomical site, histopathological subtype and grade which may inform customized treatment approaches.
Methodology: This was a retrospective cross-sectional analytical study of archived paraffin embedded tissue blocks of malignant SGTs diagnosed at MNH Central Pathology Laboratory (CPL) from January 2019 to December 2022.

Background Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy characterized by slow progression, local recurrence, and distant metastases. This study aims to evaluate the demographic patterns, clinical presentations, outcomes, and survival trends of patients with ACC. Methods A retrospective analysis of 14 patients diagnosed with ACC from 2010 to 2024 at a tertiary cancer center in the United Arab Emirates was conducted.

Background: Submandibular gland pathology is common but rarely reported. This study was performed to evaluate demographic, pathological, and survival outcomes associated with submandibular gland extirpation.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of patients treated in a single quaternary-care institution between 1989 and 2022 was performed.

Salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC) is an intractable malignant tumor originates in the secretory glands and frequently metastasizes to the lungs. Hybrid epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) cells within the tumors are correlated with augmented proliferative capacity and facilitation of lung metastasis. Single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomic sequencing are employed to reveal the hybrid EMT subsets within the vascular fibroblast microenvironment.
