Multiple self-healing squamous epithelioma - Ferguson-Smith disease (MSSE) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease with multiple, recurrent, histologically malignant tumours that undergo spontaneous regression. The gene for MSSE has recently been identified as the transforming growth factor-beta receptor 1 (TGFBR1). Although rare, MSSE constitutes an important model of tumour-biology research. The discovery of the genetic background for MSSE paves the way for further elucidating the mechanisms involved in this peculiar self-healing cancer syndrome.

Article Synopsis
  • Cancer metastasis is a major challenge in cancer treatment, highlighting the need for effective and affordable antimetastatic strategies.
  • Researchers developed a greener, cost-effective method to create amphiphilic catiomers that can promote normal cell migration while preventing cancer metastasis.
  • The study found that these styrenic polymers are non-toxic to several human cell lines and can effectively enhance wound healing in normal cells while inhibiting migration in cancer cells, demonstrating their dual therapeutic potential.

An Integrated Approach of Network Pharmacology, Bioinformatics, Molecular Docking, and Experimental Verification Uncovers Prunellae Spica as the potential Medicine of Prognosis Improvement for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Curr Pharm Des

September 2024

Beijing Institute of Dental Research, Beijing Stomatological Hospital and School of Stomatology, Capital Medical University, No. 4 Tiantanxili, Dongcheng District, Beijing 100050, China.

Background: Prunellae Spica (PS), the spike from Prunella vulgaris L., is a traditional Chinese medicine that can treat Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), whereas its molecular mechanisms and effects on the prognosis of patients remain unclear.

Methods: Our study aimed to identify potential anti-OSCC targets of PS and explore its mechanisms and effects on prognosis through network pharmacology, bioinformatics analysis, molecular docking, and in vitro cell assays.

Purpose: The resection of lymph nodes/neck dissection is a typical part of the surgical treatment of head and neck malignancies. The aim of this study was to compare subcutaneous closure using single knotted, braided suture (Vicryl, standard arm) with continuous self-locking, monofilament barbed suture (V-Loc, experimental arm).

Methods: Neck Lock was a randomized clinical trial at a single tertiary referral center.
