Article Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most malignant neoplasm of the oral cavity. The mortality rate associated with head and neck cancers remains high, and thus detection techniques are important. In the present study, methyl green-pyronin staining was applied to 5 normal mucosa specimens, 10 cases of dysplastic mucosa, 12 cases of SCC (grade I), 10 cases of SCC (grade II) and 5 cases of SCC (grade III) in the oral cavity. This is the first study in which nuclear and nucleolar cytomorphometric parameters (diameter, area and number) in such oral lesions were evaluated using this method. As methyl green-pyronin selectively stains nucleic acids, it can differentiate between DNA (green) and RNA (red). The results reveal that the proposed method can be used to evaluate changes in the nucleus and nucleolus in premalignant lesions in the oral cavity.

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) are small, icosahedral viruses that cause serious clinical symptoms in livestock. The FMDV VP1 protein is a key structural component, facilitating virus entry. Here, we find that the E3 ligase RNF5 interacts with VP1 and targets it for degradation through ubiquitination at the lys200 of VP1, ultimately inhibiting virus replication.

Fatty acid and retinol binding proteins (FARs) are lipid-binding protein that may be associated with modulating nematode pathogenicity to their hosts. However, the functional mechanism of FARs remains elusive. We attempt to study the function of a certain FAR that may be important in the development of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis.

Background: Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a prevalent infectious condition in children. This study aimed to assess the regulatory effects of Re-Du-Ning on the intestinal microflora of pediatric patients with HFMD.

Methods: Fecal samples were collected from children affected by HFMD, who were diagnosed at the traditional Chinese medicine pediatrics outpatient and emergency departments of Liuzhou Women and Children's Healthcare Hospital, as well as from healthy children undergoing physical examinations at the same hospital during the same period.

Introduction: Opportunistic infections (IO) are infections of microbiota (fungi, viruses, bacteria, or parasites) that generally do not cause disease but turn into pathogens when the body's defense system is compromised. This can be triggered by various factors, one of which is due to a weakened immune system due to Diabetes Mellitus (DM), which increases the occurrence of opportunistic infections, especially in the oral cavity. Fungal (oral candidiasis) and viral (recurrent intraoral herpes) infections can occur in the oral cavity of DM patients.

Dentistry still faces difficulties in diagnosing oral precancer and cancer, especially when it comes to early phase changes or disease detection, evaluation, and treatment. In essence, oral lumenography is the process of identifying oral lesions using a chemiluminescent light source and a toluidine blue labeling system. Since neoplastic epithelial cells have a changed nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio, acetic acid dehydration brings out this nuclear density and gives the tissue an "acetowhite" look.
