The diagnostic process and discrimination of mucosal lesions present a formidable challenge for numerous clinicians, primarily attributable to the common overlap of clinical manifestations observed across various categories, including infectious, autoimmune, connective tissue, and systemic vascular inflammatory diseases. In cases of mucosal lesions, syphilis presents distinctive characteristics that can help clinicians differentiate it from other conditions. The most common manifestation of primary syphilis is mostly a painless, firm, indurated ulcer known as a chancre, which typically appears at the site of inoculation, with enlargement of regional lymph nodes.

: Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a retinal condition characterized by the accumulation of subretinal fluid, often linked to elevated levels of endogenous corticosteroids and stress-related hormones, which can lead to visual disturbances. This connection may explain the association of CSCR with high stress levels and the use of corticosteroid medications. Although many cases resolve spontaneously, persistent or severe instances may require intervention.

Primary Intraosseous Carcinoma (PIOC) is a rare and aggressive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) derived from remnants of odontogenic epithelium with no initial connection to oral mucosa. Due to the rarity of the disease, etiology and epidemiology are not clearly defined. The most affected site is the posterior mandible, and clinical features include swelling of the jaw, jaw pain, and sensory disturbances.

Gingival squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the posterior mandible often requires marginal resection of the mandible in conventional surgery. However, the posterior location of the lesion can limit surgical visibility, which is critical for complete tumor removal and minimizing recurrence. Typically, marginal resection of the posterior mandible is achieved through a midline lower lip incision and mental nerve transection, providing adequate exposure but resulting in nerve damage, lip numbness, and facial scarring.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of Y-27632 on the long-term maintainence of mouse submandibular epithelial cells (SG-Epis) in vitro and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
Methods: The role of the Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) inhibitor Y-27632 in maintaining SG-Epis and its underlying mechanisms were evaluated by examining the in vitro expansion of mouse SG-Epis. Changes in key cellular characteristics, such as proliferation, long-term expansion, and mRNA and protein expression, were assessed in the presence or absence of Y-27632.
