RESUMEN
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify the levels of halitosis in patients with Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) and osteoporosis and to suggest a new MRONJ screening method using halitosis measurement. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From October 2019 to April 2023, participants aged 19 years or older without periodontal disease were selected. Seventy-five participants, 25 in each group, were divided into an MRONJ group, an osteoporosis group without MRONJ, and a control group without osteoporosis and not taking osteoporosis drugs or antibiotics. Each participant underwent halitosis assessment twice using an exhaled breath analyzer to measure halitosis twice by blowing a straw for 1 min. Measured concentrations of hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and methyl mercaptan were compared between groups. RESULTS: Data from 22 patients in the MRONJ group, 25 in the osteoporosis group, and 25 in the control group were analyzed. The concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan were significantly higher in the MRONJ group than in the other groups, but the concentrations of hydrogen did not differ between the groups. When comparing the concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan in osteoporosis patients and solid cancer patients in the MRONJ group, there was a significant difference in hydrogen sulfide concentration, but there was no significant difference in methyl mercaptan. CONCLUSIONS: Quantifying the level of halitosis can be used to screen for MRONJ in patients taking bisphosphonates, such as patients with osteoporosis, prostate cancer, and breast cancer. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: MRONJ is accompanied by bad breath, and the concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan are associated with MRONJ.

BACKGROUND: Predominant traditional approaches for most patients who have advanced-stage oral cancer with transcervical incision lines left irreversible scars. To address this, surgeons have continuously refined minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques, including robot-assisted neck surgeries. This article introduces and discusses the feasibility, versatility, and availability of free-flap reconstruction via the retroauricular approach (RA), considered difficult to date. METHODS: This study retrospectively analyzed 90 consecutive patients who had free-flap reconstruction performed by a single surgeon (D.K.) in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Yonsei University, from March 2021 to April 2022. The type of defects and flaps, hospitalization days, total operation time, and type of vessels and anastomoses were compared statistically. RESULTS: The type of vessels used did not differ between the RA and the transcervical approach (TA) groups, nor in duration of hospital stays. Likewise, the total reconstruction time did not differ significantly between the TA group (240 min) and the RA group (245 min) (p = 0.756). However, the total operation time was about 1 h less in the TA group, a statistically significant difference (TA group [593 ± 152 min] vs. RA group [655 ± 117 min]; p = 0.044). All flaps were successful in the RA group, whereas one flap in the TA group led to a total loss (TA group [98.3%] vs. RA group [100.0%]; p = 1.000). CONCLUSIONS: Even for patients with advanced oral cancer who require massive tumor ablation, it is feasible to obtain an aesthetic and functional surgical outcome by performing free-flap reconstruction via the retroauricular approach.

BACKGROUND: Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are widely used for biosensing and diagnostics, and for the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents. Safety concerns about the biomedical and clinical applications of SiNPs have been raised, necessitating analysis of the effects of their intrinsic properties, such as sizes, shapes, and surface physicochemical characteristics, on human health to minimize risk in biomedical applications. In particular, SiNP size-associated toxicological effects, and the underlying molecular mechanisms in the vascular endothelium remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the detailed mechanisms underlying the cellular response to exposure to trace amounts of SiNPs and to determine applicable size criteria for biomedical application. METHODS: To clarify whether these SiNP-mediated cytotoxicity due to induction of apoptosis or necrosis, human ECs were treated with SiNPs of four different non-overlapping sizes under low serum-containing condition, stained with annexin V and propidium iodide (PI), and subjected to flow cytometric analysis (FACS). Two types of cell death mechanisms were assessed in terms of production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induction, and autophagy activity. RESULTS: Spherical SiNPs had a diameter of 21.8 nm; this was further increased to 31.4, 42.9, and 56.7 nm. Hence, we investigated these effects in human endothelial cells (ECs) treated with these nanoparticles under overlap- or agglomerate-free conditions. The 20-nm SiNPs, but not SiNPs of other sizes, significantly induced apoptosis and necrosis. Surprisingly, the two types of cell death occurred independently and through different mechanisms. Apoptotic cell death resulted from ROS-mediated ER stress. Furthermore, autophagy-mediated necrotic cell death was induced through the PI3K/AKT/eNOS signaling axis. Together, the present results indicate that SiNPs within a diameter of < 20-nm pose greater risks to cells in terms of cytotoxic effects. CONCLUSION: These data provide novel insights into the size-dependence of the cytotoxic effects of silica nanoparticles and the underlying molecular mechanisms. The findings are expected to inform the applicable size range of SiNPs to ensure their safety in biomedical and clinical applications.

We recently achieved favorable results in 3 pediatric patients with mandibular osteosarcomas that were treated at our hospital, including with immediate reconstructive surgery performed after tumor resection. Based on a literature review and practical investigation, we discuss the considerations for mandibular reconstruction after malignant lesions are removed from the mandible in children. Mandibular reconstruction for pediatric patients requires an understanding of the changes in bone and soft-tissue architecture due to growth and development at both the donor and recipient sites. Immediate mandibular reconstruction with a free flap can be considered a reasonable option even for young children who require extensive mandibular surgery. However, the variables affecting decisions about treatment planning vary between the different conditions in individual patients, and moreover, these cases are not common in the pediatric population. Therefore, long-term follow-up treatment and further investigations are required for the optimized diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of pediatric mandibular malignancies.

Gold (AuNPs, 12.8 nm) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs, 10 nm), mixed or separate, were injected into the caudal vein of male Sprague-Dawley rats for 4 weeks. The rats were allowed to recover for further 4 weeks to examine the differences in AuNP/AgNP tissue distribution and clearance. The size distribution of injected AuNPs and AgNPs were not statistically different. The dose groups (five males per group for the administration and three males for the recovery) consisted of seven divisions, i.e., control, AgNPs (with a low dose of 10 µg/kg/day, and, a high dose of 100 µg/kg/day), AuNPs (with a low dose of 10 µg/kg/day, and, a high dose of 100 µg/kg/day), as well as mixed AgNPs/AuNPs (with a low dose of 10/10 µg/kg/day, and a high dose of 100/100 µg/kg/day). The AgNPs accumulated in a dose-dependent manner in the liver, spleen, kidneys, lung, brain, testis or blood. Au concentration increased also in a dose-dependent manner in the liver, kidneys, spleen and lungs, but not in the brain, testis and blood. Ag concentration in the tissues increased dose-dependently after 4 weeks of AgNP/AuNP mixed administration, but to a much lower extent than those observed when they were administered separately. Ag concentration in the tissues after 4 weeks of AgNP/AuNP mixed administration cleared dose-dependently after 4 weeks of recovery. Au concentration in the tissues increased dose-dependently after 4 weeks of AgNp/AuNP mixed administration, while Au concentration in the tissues did not clear as seen in Ag after 4 weeks recovery. Au concentration showed biopersistency or accumulation in the liver, kidneys, spleen and brain of the 4 weeks of recovery. In conclusion, AgNPs and AuNPs showed different toxicokinetic properties and the mixed administration of AgNPs with AuNPs resulted in mutual reduction of their tissue distribution which appeared to be due to competitive inhibition. Furthermore, this subacute intravenous injection study has suggested that these nanoparticles were distributed to the organs in particulate instead of ionic forms.

Radial forearm free flaps are widely used for soft tissue reconstruction in the oral cavity. However, preparation of the vascular pedicle leaves long undesirable scars. Extensive scar formation also occurs at the skin defect site. Over recent years, endoscopic surgery has been increasingly used for minimally invasive procedures. We report 4 cases involving the formation of radial forearm free flaps using endoscopy and an alloplastic skin graft, resulting in minimal scar formation and favorable results.

Size and shape distributions of gold nanorod samples are critical to their physico-chemical properties, especially their longitudinal surface plasmon resonance. This interlaboratory comparison study developed methods for measuring and evaluating size and shape distributions for gold nanorod samples using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. The objective was to determine whether two different samples, which had different performance attributes in their application, were different with respect to their size and/or shape descriptor distributions. Touching particles in the captured images were identified using a ruggedness shape descriptor. Nanorods could be distinguished from nanocubes using an elongational shape descriptor. A non-parametric statistical test showed that cumulative distributions of an elongational shape descriptor, that is, the aspect ratio, were statistically different between the two samples for all laboratories. While the scale parameters of size and shape distributions were similar for both samples, the width parameters of size and shape distributions were statistically different. This protocol fulfills an important need for a standardized approach to measure gold nanorod size and shape distributions for applications in which quantitative measurements and comparisons are important. Furthermore, the validated protocol workflow can be automated, thus providing consistent and rapid measurements of nanorod size and shape distributions for researchers, regulatory agencies, and industry.
RESUMEN
The deep penetrating nevus (DPN) is a rare benign melanocytic tumor often clinically and histopathologically mistaken for malignant melanoma (MM) and other nevus types. This report describes an extremely rare case of multiple lesions of a large DPN in the oral cavity with extensive infiltration to the minor salivary gland, buccal fat pad, buccinators, and masseter muscles, yet with preservation of the normal anatomic architecture. After receiving a diagnosis of MM in another hospital, the patient was at risk for receiving a wide excision that included the masticatory muscles, facial nerve, and overlying skin. Histopathologically, distinct cellular properties were completely masked with heavy pigmentation, thus precluding a proper distinction of benignity versus malignancy. The proliferative capacity of the tumor was analyzed further by immunohistochemistry of bleached tissue sections and tumor behavior was indirectly evaluated by insufficient tumor stromal interaction, with the conclusion that the specimen was benign. Conservative surgery was limited to the oral cavity. Multiple DPNs in the oral cavity merit attention because of the high risk of being mistaken for MM, which would require a wider surgical excision of the head and neck region.

The electromechanical properties of ternary InAsP nanowires (NWs) were investigated by applying a uniaxial tensile strain in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The electromechanical properties in our examined InAsP NWs were governed by the piezoresistive effect. We found that the electronic transport of the InAsP NWs is dominated by space-charge-limited transport, with a I ∞ V2 relation. Upon increasing the tensile strain, the electrical current in the NWs increases linearly, and the piezoresistance gradually decreases nonlinearly. By analyzing the space-charge-limited I-V curves, we show that the electromechanical response is due to a mobility that increases with strain. Finally, we use dynamical measurements to establish an upper limit on the time scale for the electromechanical response.
RESUMEN
Tuberculosis is one of the top causes of death among curable infectious diseases; it is an airborne infectious disease that killed 1.1 million people worldwide in 2010. Anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury is the primary cause of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Rifampicin is one of the most common anti-tuberculosis therapies and has well-known hepatotoxicity. To understand the mechanism of rifampicin-induced liver injury, we performed a global proteomic analysis of liver proteins by LC-MS/MS in a mouse model after the oral administration of 177 and 442.5 mg/kg rifampicin (LD10 and LD25) for 14 days. Based on the biochemical parameters in the plasma after rifampicin treatment, the hepatotoxic effect of rifampicin in the mouse liver was defined as a mixed liver injury. In the present study, we identified 1101 proteins and quantified 1038 proteins. A total of 29 and 40 proteins were up-regulated and 27 and 118 proteins were down-regulated in response to 177 and 442.5 mg/kg rifampicin, respectively. Furthermore, we performed Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses to characterize the mechanism of rifampicin-induced hepatotoxicity. In the molecular function category, glutathione transferase activity was up-regulated and proteins related to arachidonic acid metabolism were down-regulated. In the KEGG pathway enrichment-based clustering analysis, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) signaling pathway, cytochrome P450, glutathione metabolism, chemical carcinogenesis, and related proteins increased dose-dependently in rifampicin-treated livers. Taken together, this study showed in-depth molecular mechanism of rifampicin-induced liver injury by comparative toxicoproteomics approach.

Nanoparticles are of great interest due to their wide variety of biomedical and bioengineering applications. However, they affect cellular differentiation and/or intracellular signaling when applied and exposed to target organisms or cells. The brown adipocyte is a cell type important in energy homeostasis and thus closely related to obesity. In this study, we assessed the effects of silica nanoparticles (SNPs) on brown adipocyte differentiation. The results clearly showed that brown adipocyte differentiation was significantly repressed by exposure to SNPs. The brown adipocyte-specific genes as well as mitochondrial content were also markedly reduced. Additionally, SNPs led to suppressed p38 phosphorylation during brown adipocyte differentiation. These effects depend on the size of SNPs. Taken together, these results lead us to suggest that SNP has anti-brown adipogenic effect in a size-dependent manner via regulation of p38 phosphorylation.

Gold nanoparticles are known to be distributed to many tissues following their oral, inhalation, or intravenous exposure. Information on the biodistribution and clearance of gold nanoparticles from these tissues is, therefore, important to understand their behavior in vivo. To study the effect of size on the biodistribution of gold nanoparticles, Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed by inhalation to small gold nanoparticles (13 nm in diameter on average) at an exposure concentration of 12.8 ± 2.42 µg/m(3), and to large gold nanoparticles (105 nm in diameter on average) at an exposure concentration of 13.7 ± 1.32 µg/m(3). The experimental animals were exposed to the gold nanoparticles and the control animals to fresh air for 5 days (6 h/day), followed by a recovery period of 1, 3, and 28 days in fresh air. None of the exposed animals exhibited any toxic response to the gold nanoparticles. Despite the difference in size, both small and large gold nanoparticles deposited mainly in rat lungs. Their biodistribution from the lungs to secondary target organs was significantly higher with the small compared to the large gold nanoparticles. While the large gold nanoparticles were only found in the blood, the small gold nanoparticles were detected in the liver, spleen, brain, testes, and blood. In addition, the elimination half-life of the small gold nanoparticles from the lungs was significantly shorter than that of the large gold nanoparticles. The present data may, therefore, suggest that the smaller gold nanoparticles are able to translocate from the lungs, the primary exposure organ to extrapulmonary organs at a faster rate than the larger gold nanoparticles and thus confirming previous observations reported in the literature.

We present a single-molecule diffusional-mobility-shift assay (smDIMSA) for analyzing the interactions between membrane and water-soluble proteins in the crowded membrane of living cells. We found that ligand-receptor interactions decreased the diffusional mobility of ErbB receptors and ß-adrenergic receptors, as determined by single-particle tracking with super-resolution microscopy. The shift in diffusional mobility was sensitive to the size of the water-soluble binders that ranged from a few tens of kilodaltons to several hundred kilodaltons. This technique was used to quantitatively analyze the dissociation constant and the cooperativity of antibody interactions with the epidermal growth factor receptor and its mutants. smDIMSA enables the quantitative investigation of previously undetected ligand-receptor interactions in the intact membrane of living cells on the basis of the diffusivity of single-molecule membrane proteins without ligand labeling.

A subnanometer gap-separated linear chain gold nanoparticle (AuNP) silica nanotube peapod (SNTP) was fabricated by self-assembly. The geometrical configurations of the AuNPs inside the SNTPs were managed in order to pose either a single-line or a double-line nanostructure by controlling the diameters of the AuNPs and the orifice in the silica nanotubes (SNTs). The AuNPs were internalized and self-assembled linearly inside the SNTs by capillary force using a repeated wet-dry process on a rocking plate. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images clearly indicated that numerous nanogap junctions with sub-1-nm distances were formed among AuNPs inside SNTs. Finite-dimension time domain (FDTD) calculations were performed to estimate the electric field enhancements. Polarization-dependent surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra of bifunctional aromatic linker p-mercaptobenzoic acid (p-MBA)-coated AuNP-embedded SNTs supported the linearly aligned nanogaps. We could demonstrate a silica wall-protected nanopeapod sensor with single nanotube sensitivity. SNTPs have potential application to intracellular pH sensors after endocytosis in mammalian cells for practical purposes. The TEM images indicated that the nanogaps were preserved inside the cellular constituents. SNTPs exhibited superior quality SERS spectra in vivo due to well-sustained nanogap junctions inside the SNTs, when compared to simply using AuNPs without any silica encapsulation. By using these SNTPs, a robust intracellular optical pH sensor could be developed with the advantage of the sustained nanogaps, due to silica wall-protection.

Local application requires fewer nanoparticles than systemic delivery to achieve effective concentration. In this study, we investigated the potential toxicity and efficacy of bare titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles by local administration into the eye. Mono-disperse, 20nm-size TiO2 nanoparticles did not affect the viability of retinal constituent cells within certain range of concentrations (~1.30µg/mL). Furthermore, local delivery of TiO2 nanoparticles did not induce any significant toxicity at the level of gene expression and histologic integrity in the retina of C57BL/6 mice. Interestingly, at the low concentration (130ng/mL) without definite toxicity, these nanoparticles suppressed in vitro angiogenesis processes and in vivo retinal neovascularization in oxygen-induced retinopathy mice when they are administered intravitreally. Taken together, our results demonstrate that even TiO2 nanoparticles can be safely utilized for the treatment of retinal diseases at the adequate concentration levels, especially through local administration. FROM THE CLINICAL EDITOR: In this paper the local application of titanium dioxide is described as a local treatment for retinal diseases associated with neovascularization. While these nanoparticles have known systemic toxicity, this work demonstrates that when applied locally in a mouse model, they can be used without observable toxicity even in their native forms.

Nasopalatine duct cyst is one of the most common cysts among the nonodontogenic cysts in the maxillofacial area. This lesion usually does not show specific symptoms except for pressure from large cysts or infectious symptoms. Surgical removal including the epithelial lining is considered the treatment of choice. There are few reports of cases of endoscopic marsupialization treatment of large cysts, which have the risk of oronasal fistula. Here, we reviewed 3 cases of nasopalatine duct cyst treated with intranasal marsupialization and compared treatment results with those of conventional surgical enucleation. We suggest that endoscopic marsupialization could be used as an initial treatment option in selective cases.

This study presents the behavioural findings of central odontogenic fibroma (COF) in a specific ethnic group, analysing treatment methods and demonstrating how involved teeth should be managed in detail. Clinical, radiographic, and histological findings were gathered for 29 patients who visited our clinic, with all patients' data carefully examined by radiologists and reviewed microscopically. The cohort comprised 29 patients, with 16 females and 13 males, having a mean (SD) age of 33.1 (16.0) years. Among them, 19 patients were affected in the maxilla, with 15 showing anterior preference, and palatal depression was observed in six patients. Tooth resorption was evident in 15 patients, while 10 patients showed tooth displacement. Within the cohort, 13 patients underwent tooth extraction and resection, while the remaining 16 did not have teeth extracted. Notably, there was no significant difference in recurrence observed between these two groups. This study represents the largest study to date of COF within a single ethnic group and institution. A subset of cases exhibited noteworthy features of COF. However, intriguingly, despite these characteristics, the preservation of contiguous teeth did not demonstrate a significant impact on recurrence rates.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare the risk of osteoradionecrosis and implant survival in oral cancer patients undergoing immediate dental implants during jaw reconstruction, termed "Jaw in a Day" (JIAD), with those receiving no implants or delayed implants (non-JIAD). PATIENTS & METHODS: Clinicopathologic data were collected from prospectively enrolled JIAD patients (n = 10, 29 implants) and retrospectively from non-JIAD patients (n = 117, 86 implants). Survival analyses were performed to assess implant survival and osteoradionecrosis-free survival. RESULTS: Osteoradionecrosis occurred in 0 % of JIAD cases compared to 19.3 % in non-JIAD cases without implants and 71.4 % in non-JIAD cases with delayed implants (p = 0.008). Osteoradionecrosis-free survival was significantly better in the JIAD group than the non-JIAD group (p = 0.0059). Implants in the JIAD group all survived regardless of radiation therapy (29/29, 100 %) and 95.1 % (58/61) of implants survived in delayed implants in non-irradiated fibula without radiotherapy. Meanwhile, only 11 of 25 implants placed in irradiated fibula flaps survived, even when the implants were placed after a median time interval of 624 days after radiotherapy, and none of them were earlier than 360 days. The survival analysis revealed a significant difference (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: JIAD appears to offer superior outcomes in terms of implant survival and osteoradionecrosis prevention compared to delayed implant placement. Placing implants in irradiated fibula, even after years, significantly poses high risk of implant failure and osteoradionecrosis. JIAD represents a promising approach for optimal rehabilitation, particularly in oral cancer patients requiring postoperative radiotherapy. Proper positioning and orientation of implants and flaps are crucial for implant survival.
