Background: In the most cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is found adjacent to the primary tumor. The delineation of surgical margins for OSCC is critical to minimize the risk for local recurrence. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the fluorescence visualization (FV)- device can delineated the lesion visualizes OED of adjacent primary tumors by histopathologically comparison to conventional iodine vital staining.

Material And Methods: The study involved 40 patients with superficial tongue squamous cell carcinoma treated from July 2016 to July 2018 at the Oral Cancer Center, Tokyo Dental College.

Results: Cytokeratin 13 (CK13) expression rate in the area of fluorescence visualization loss (FVL) was significantly lower than that in the area of fluorescence visualization retention (FVR). In addition, CK17, Ki-67, and p53 expression rates were significantly higher in FVL than FVR. There was no significant difference in the delineation rate or area between FVL and iodine-unstained area. High-grade dysplasia was observed most frequently at the FV and iodine-unstained boundary, but no significant pathological differences were found.

Conclusion: We strongly suggest the FV-guided surgery is a useful method for accurate resection in early-stage tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

Aims: Unresectable cutaneous squamous cell cancer of the head and neck (HNcSCC) poses treatment challenges in elderly and comorbid patients. Radiation therapy (RT) is often employed for locoregional control. This study aimed to determine progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) outcomes achieved with upfront RT in unresectable HNcSCC.

Deletion of metal transporter Zip14 reduces major histocompatibility complex II expression in murine small intestinal epithelial cells.

Documented worldwide, impaired immunity is a cardinal signature resulting from loss of dietary zinc, an essential micronutrient. A steady supply of zinc to meet cellular requirements is regulated by an array of zinc transporters. Deletion of the transporter Zip14 (Slc39a14) in mice produced intestinal inflammation.

Dorsal closure is a process that occurs during embryogenesis of . During dorsal closure, the amnioserosa (AS), a one-cell thick epithelial tissue that fills the dorsal opening, shrinks as the lateral epidermis sheets converge and eventually merge. During this process, both shape index and aspect ratio of amnioserosa cells increase markedly.

Postnatal establishment of enteric metabolic, host-microbial and immune homeostasis is the result of precisely timed and tightly regulated developmental and adaptive processes. Here, we show that infection with the invasive enteropathogen Typhimurium results in accelerated maturation of the neonatal epithelium with premature appearance of antimicrobial, metabolic, developmental, and regenerative features of the adult tissue. Using conditional Myd88-deficient mice, we identify the critical contribution of immune cell-derived mediators.
