Background: The features and prognosis of adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) in oral and maxillofacial region have not thoroughly investigated, the purpose of this study is to describe clinicopathologic characteristics, treatment, and prognostic factors of this disease.
Methods: The data of 276 patients diagnosed with ASC in oral and maxillofacial region between 1975 and 2016 were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. The prognostic factors influencing overall survival (OS) and disease-specific survival (DSS) were identified by the Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression analysis. The nomograms for OS and DSS were constructed to predict the prognosis of these patients.
Results: Of 276 included patients, 62.7% were male and 37.3% were female, with an average age at diagnosis of 63.5 years. The most common primary site is oral cavity (170/276), followed by salivary gland (106/276). The 3-, and 5-year OS of patients with ASC in oral and maxillofacial region were 49.0% and 38.9%, while the 3-, and 5-year DSS were 67.7%, and 60.4%, respectively. Patients who underwent surgery had longer OS (mOS: 58 m vs. 8 m) and DSS (mDSS: 193 m vs. 18 m) than those who did not. Age, AJCC-T/N/M category as well as surgery were independently associated with OS. Advanced T stage, distant metastases, and surgery were independent factors for DSS. The prognostic nomograms for OS and DSS were constructed, and the C-indexes were 0.71 (95% CI 0.66-0.76) and 0.76 (95% CI 0.67-0.85), respectively.
Conclusion: Surgery was the favorable prognostic factor for both OS and DSS among patients with ASC in oral and maxillofacial region.

Background: Postoperative fever (POF) is a common occurrence in patients undergoing major surgery, presenting challenges and burdens for both patients and surgeons yet. This study endeavors to examine the incidence, identify risk factors, and establish a machine learning-based predictive model for POF following surgery of oral cancer.
Methods: A total of seven hundred and twenty-seven consecutive patients undergoing radical resection of oral cancer were retrospectively investigated.

Objective: This study aims to identify potential lipid biomarkers and metabolic pathways associated with oral cancer (OC). Then to establish and evaluate disease classification models capable of distinguishing OC patients from healthy controls.
Methods: A total of 41 OC patients and 41 controls were recruited from a hospital in Southeast China to examine the serum lipidomics by Ultra-high Performance Liquid Chromatography Q Exactive Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-QE-MS).

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the role of DNA ploidy and proliferation index in distinguishing ameloblastoma (AB) from ameloblastic carcinoma (AC).
Methods: The study included 29 ACs, 6 conventional ABs that transformed into ACs, and a control cohort of 20 conventional ABs. The demographics and clinicopathologic details of the included cases were summarised and compared.

Introduction: Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a fibroblastic neoplasm of uncertain biological origin that is rare in the tongue.
Case Report: A 42-year-old woman presented with a painless, submucosal nodule in the tongue. Based on the clinical hypothesis of benign mesenchymal neoplasia, the lesion was excised, and the specimen was submitted for histopathological analysis.

In the present study, porcine-derived collagen type I was covalently immobilized on the surface of titanium (Ti) implants via carboxyl groups introduced by bonded p-vinylbenzoic acid to investigate its in vitro biocompatibility with gingival stem cells and in vivo bone regeneration behavior in the edentulous ridges of Lanyu small-ear pigs at weeks 2 and 6 (short-term effectiveness) through micro-computed tomography and histological analysis. Analytical results found that gingival stem cells showed effective adhesion and spreading on these collagen-immobilized implant surfaces. After 2 and 6 weeks of healing, significant differences in Hounsfield units were observed among the control (week 2 (674.
