Objective: The aim of this study was to compare and correlate mast cell density (MCD) and microvessel density (MVD) between normal oral mucosa, oral lichen planus, various grades of dysplasia, and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Materials And Methods: The study comprised a total of 75 samples, of which 65 were archival tissue blocks of histopathologically confirmed cases, which included 10 cases of oral lichen planus, 25 cases of dysplasia (mild [n=10], moderate [n=10], and severe [n=5]), and 30 cases of OSCC (well differentiated [n=10], moderately differentiated [n=10], and poorly differentiated [n=10]), and 10 samples of normal oral mucosa. All the sections were immunohistochemically stained with anti-CD34 and counterstained with toluidine blue stain. Mean MCD and MVD were determined and analyzed using ANOVA test and compared between the lesions using Tukey HSD test. Pearson's correlation coefficient test was used to correlate these two factors between various lesions.
Results: Mean MCD and mean MVD were found to be increased in all the lesions compared to normal oral mucosa, and the values were statically significant. Overall, MCD and MVD showed a significant positive correlation (r=0.640).
Conclusion: Increase of MCD and MVD and their positive correlation in all the lesions have emphasized their role in the pathogenesis and disease progression.

Background: Oral cancer is the sixth most common cancer, and 90% of them are oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC). As most OSCC are asymptomatic and are only detected at an advanced stage, the 5-year survival rate is only 50%. Thus, using novel prognosticators can minimise mortality and morbidity associated with OSCC.

Background: The role of mast cells in malignancies remains unclear, and there is no clear correlation between mast cells and tumor microvessels, tumor growth, or lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) prognosis. This study aims to explore the association between mast cell density (MCD) and intratumoral microvessel density (MVD), clinicopathological parameters, and prognosis in LUAD, by evaluating mast cell infiltration characteristics and their prognostic significance.
Methods: This retrospective investigation involved 238 patients with LUAD undergoing complete resection.

The aim of this study was the micromorphological analysis of the distribution of microvessels, mast cells and ganglionic neurons in two parts, proximal and distal of the human superior cervical sympathetic ganglions (SCSGs). Statistical analyses were applied to detect the possible metric regional differences in their densities. Five injected human SCSGs with colored India ink and gelatin were microdissected and examined.

Background: In addition to intrahepatic angiogenesis, patients with cholestasis cirrhosis develop extrahepatic vasculature disorders and functional disturbances of multiple organ systems. Without effective intervention, these vascular disorders will eventually turn into multiple organs vascular syndromes, including the brain, lung and other organ systems. However, studies on the pathogenesis of vascular alterations among extrahepatic organ disturbances are still carried out separately, which hampered the successful translation of preclinical studies to the human setting and required further mechanistic insight into these complications.

Article Synopsis
- * The study investigated the microvessel density (MVD), mast cell density (MCD), and blood vessel diversity in these granulomas in 37 patients.
- * Findings showed high levels of mast cells in inflamed areas, diverse blood vessels, and increased MVD, highlighting mast cells' important role in the inflammation and development of these lesions.
