ABSTRACT Background Podoplanin (PDPN) is a glycoprotein associated with epithelial‐mesenchymal transition, invasion, and metastasis in several types of malignancies, including oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The aim of this systematic review (SR) was to summarize and critically appraise the available evidence about the association between PDPN immunoexpression and clinicopathological features and its utility as a prognostic marker in OSCC. Methods Five electronic...
ABSTRACT Introduction Alterations of the epigenome may influence cancer initiation and progression. At the cellular level, histones are key regulators of chromatin accessibility and gene transcription; thus, inhibition of histone deacetylase enzymes (HDACs) constitutes an attractive target for therapy. In this study, we investigated the effects of the HDAC inhibitor Entinostat on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Materials and Methods We tested the effects of Entinostat on OSCC cell...
Abstract Background Preventive and early diagnostic methods such as health promotion and disease screening are increasingly advocated to improve detection and survival rates for oral cancer. These strategies are most effective when targeted at ‘high‐risk’ individuals and populations. Bayesian disease‐mapping modelling is a statistical method to quantify and explain spatial and temporal patterns for risk and covariate factor influence, thereby identifying ‘high‐risk’ sub‐regions or ‘case clustering’...
Abstract Background Synovitis is characterized by the infiltration of inflammatory cells and often accompanies the pathological progression of the clinical symptoms affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), such as pain, snapping, and limited mouth opening. It has been suggested that the signal transduction pathway and resultant proinflammatory mediators play important roles in the pathogenesis of synovitis. Therefore, in this present research, we aimed to investigate the changes in the expressions...

The frequency-following response (FFR) is an EEG-based potential used to characterize the brainstem encoding of complex sounds. Adopting techniques from auditory signal processing, we assessed the degree to which FFRs encode important properties of cochlear processing (e.g. nonlinearities) and their relation to speech-in-noise (SIN) listening skills. Based on the premise that normal cochlear transduction is characterized by rectification and compression, we reasoned these nonlinearities would create...
Waggle needling, a classical anti-spastic needling technique characterized by combination of acupuncture with joint movement, has gained increasing popularity of spasticity treatment in China. This study was designed to compare the anti-spastic effect of waggle needling to the routine needling and to explore its underlying mechanism. We established post-stroke spasticity model based on ischemia stroke operation (middle cerebral artery occlusion). Rats were divided into six groups: normal control...
The brain’s default mode network (DMN) has become closely associated with self-referential mental activity, particularly in the resting-state. Prior reports point that the sex hormones are potent modulators of brain plasticity and functional connectivity. However, it is uncertain whether changes in ovarian hormones, as occur during the monthly menstrual cycle, substantially affects the functional connectivity of DMN. Here, we employed a Self-Awareness Scale (SAS) and the resting-state functional...
