RESUMO

BACKGROUND: To evaluate the presence of myofibroblasts (MFs) in the development of lip carcinogenesis, through the correlation of clinical, histomorphometric and immunohistochemical parameters, in actinic cheilitis (ACs) and lower lip squamous cell carcinomas (LLSCCs). METHODS: Samples of ACs, LLSCCs, and control group (CG) were prepared by tissue microarray (TMA) for immunohistochemical TGF-ß, α-SMA, and Ki-67 and histochemical hematoxylin and eosin, picrosirius red, and verhoeff van gieson reactions. Clinical and microscopic data were associated using the Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis/Dunn, and Spearman correlation tests (SPSS, p < 0.05). RESULTS: ACs showed higher number of α-SMA+ MFs when compared to CG (p = 0.034), and these cells were associated with the vertical expansion of solar elastosis (SE) itself (p = 0.027). Areas of SE had lower deposits of collagen (p < 0.001), immunostaining for TGF-ß (p < 0.001), and higher density of elastic fibers (p < 0.05) when compared to areas without SE. A positive correlation was observed between high-risk epithelial dysplasia (ED) and the proximity of SE to the dysplastic epithelium (p = 0.027). LLSCCs showed a higher number of α-SMA+ MFs about CG (p = 0.034), as well as a reduction in the deposition of total collagen (p = 0.009) in relation to ACs and CG. There was also a negative correlation between the amount of α-SMA+ cells and the accumulation of total collagen (p = 0.041). Collagen and elastic density loss was higher in larger tumors (p = 0.045) with nodal invasion (p = 0.047). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings show the possible role of MFs, collagen fibers, and elastosis areas in the lip carcinogenesis process.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) is a risk factor for developing subsequent oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) profiles have been validated as risk predictors of malignant transformation of OED. It is still unclear if Phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) allelic loss also occurs in initial stage malignant lesions and if the allelic loss is involved as one of the mechanisms of oral carcinogenesis. Thus, this study objective investigate LOH of PTEN gene and the immunohistochemical expression of the protein in OED and OSCC samples. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples of 19 OEDs and 16 OSCCs were included to immunohistochemistry and LOH analysis. Two polymorphic microsatellite markers (AFMA086WG9 and D10S1765) located in chromosome 10 were used in this study for LOH analysis. For immunohistochemical analysis, 5 random fields with 400× magnification were evaluated quantitatively and qualitatively in epithelial and neoplastic cells. RESULTS: AFMA086WG9 marker only demonstrated LOH in OEDs cases (10.5%). D10S1765 marker demonstrated LOH in 57.2% of OEDs and 50% of OSCCs. Higher nuclear immunostaining was detected in cases of OSCCs when compared to OEDs (p < .001) and there was strong cytoplasmic immunoexpression in OSCCs (p < .045). CONCLUSIONS: We provide evidence that the allelic loss of PTEN is present in premalignant oral lesions and OSCCs, however the LOH of PTEN does not seems to influence its protein expression.

RESUMO

ABSTRACTBackground:The study aims to assess the relationship between oral discomfort and subjective well-being (SWB) in older people. METHODS: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted in four Reference Centers for Social Welfare in Fortaleza, Northeastern Brazil. A census was held and individual interviews were carried out with all the older people (n = 246) enrolled in the centers. A questionnaire addressing sociodemographic data (age, gender, marital status, income, and education) and oral discomfort (dry mouth, difficulty in chewing and swallowing food, problems with the taste of food, burning mouth sensation, pain for no apparent reason, and mouth swelling) and the 62-item SWB scale were used. RESULTS: Participants were 246 people aged 60-89 years (mean of 69 ± 6.9 years). The majority were women (n = 199; 80.9%), had incomplete primary education (n = 161; 65.4%), had an income of up to one minimum wage (n = 182; 74%), were retired (n = 169; 68.7%), were white (n = 100; 40.7%), and had no partner (n = 177; 72%). The mean SWB score (subscale 1) was associated with age (p = 0.010), gender (p = 0.019), health in the previous year (p = 0.027), systemic diseases (p = 0.007), speech problems (p = 0.016), vision problems (p = 0.006), number of teeth (p = 0.010), and dry mouth (p = 0.044). SWB (subscale 2) was associated with gender (p = 0.029), skin color (p = 0.023), general health (p < 0.001), health in the previous year (p < 0.001), systemic diseases (p = 0.001), drinking (p = 0.022), soft tissue problems (p = 0.001), and pain for no apparent reason (p = 0.025). CONCLUSION: The relationship between oral discomfort and SWB reveals that older people's poor oral health leads to physical, psychological, and/or social problems that directly interfere with their well-being.

RESUMO

Mucoceles can occur in the oral cavity, appendix, bladder, paranasal sinuses, and lacrimal sac. In the oral cavity, mucoceles arise from pathological alterations in the minor salivary gland ducts. In this study, we aimed to histologically reevaluate cases of oral mucoceles to identify possible variants. A total of 667 slides containing tissue sections stained with hematoxylin and eosin diagnosed as a phenomenon of mucus extravasation were analyzed under light microscopy by 4 previously trained examiners. In 128 cases (19.1%), 1 or more histopathological changes were identified. Twenty cases (2.9%) exhibited collagenous globular structures compatible with myxoglobulosis. In 30 cases (4.49%), dissociation of collagen fibers after mucin extravasation was observed. Fifty-four cases (8.09%) exhibited papillary synovial metaplasia-like change, and 32 (4.79%) showed a significant reduction in the lumen of the cavity due to large papillae. Twenty cases (2.9%) were compatible with superficial mucoceles, and in 11 cases (1.64%), the foamy macrophages showed an unusual solid arrangement, known as clear cell change. It is essential to recognize the possible histopathological changes in oral mucoceles to avoid diagnostic pitfalls.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Tumor budding (TB) has been investigated in several types of solid tumors. In oral cancer, studies show its association with survival. However, for its implementation in routine histological analyses, results with a high certainty of evidence are needed. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review is to explore the association between tumor budding and overall survival (OS), disease-specific survival (DSS), and disease-free survival (DFS) in oral cancer. METHODS: A search was performed in Embase, PubMed, Scopus, Livivo, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. We adopted the following inclusion criteria: studies that evaluate tumor budding in oral cancer, that investigate survival, and presenting cohort design. We excluded reviews and studies without hazard-ratio (HR) data. RESULTS: This systematic review included 22 studies and showed an association between TB and survival. High-grade TB is associated with a worse OS in univariate analysis (HR = 3.11; 95% CI: 2.06-4.69, p<0.01) and multivariate analysis (HR = 2.62; 95% CI: 1.64-4.20, p<0.01); with a poorer DSS in univariate (HR = 2.43; 95% CI: 1.94-3.03, p<0.01) and multivariate analysis (HR = 2.01; 95% CI: 1.43-2.83, p< 0.01); and with a worse DFS in univariate (HR = 1.94; 95% CI: 1.44-2.62, p<0.01) and multivariate analysis (HR = 2.15; 95% CI: 1.31-3.53, p< 0.01). Sensitivity analysis showed that the results are robust, and no significant publication bias was identified in univariate analysis for DFS (Egger's test: p = 0.94). The certainty of the evidence was graded as low or very low. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that TB is an independent prognostic factor of OS, DSS, and DFS in oral cancer. However, further studies are needed to increase the certainty of the evidence.

RESUMO

Increasing clinical evidence indicates that Th17 cells may promote or inhibit tumor progression, however the exact role of these cells in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCCs) pathogenesis and progression remains unclear. Tumor associated macrophages are highly plastic phenotype cells which can differentiate as M1 or M2. The mechanism and cellular phenotype of IL-17 expressing macrophages are unknown. 40 cases of lip and 28 of tongue SCCs were submitted to immunohistochemical analysis, and histologically graded. In tongue cases TNM was analyzed. The number of IL-17+ T cells was higher in lip SCC (p = 0.028). IL-17+ macrophages was greater in tongue SCC (p = 0.014). There were more IL-17+ macrophages in the high-grade malignancy oral tongue SCCs (p = 0.016), yet there was no significant difference in the numbers of RORγt+ lymphocytes by histopathological or TNM analysis. This study provides evidence concerning IL-17's pleiotropic roles, being possibly dependent on its cellular sources in the tumor microenvironment.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: to investigate CD133 immunoexpression, cancer stem cells marker, in oral epithelial dysplasias (OEDs) and oral squamous cells carcinomas (OSCCs) and understandits possible involvement in the malignant transformation process of these lesions and to better elucidate their biological behavior. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Tissue samples of 15 cases of OSCCs and 15 OEDs were subjected to CD133 antibody immunohistochemistry reactions. The analysis used quantitative parameters (number of immunostained cells regardless of immunostaining sublocations). RESULTS: All samples of OSCCs and OEDs showed positive immunostaining, with no significant difference between these groups (p = 0.283). We did not observe statistical difference between the degree of dysplasia and the amount of CD133+ cells (p = 0.899). CD133 immunoexpression showed no association with the OEDs and OSCCs sites. It was observed that nuclear and cytoplasmic immunostaining was more evident with the progression of the malignant process. CONCLUSION: It is suggested that the CD133 cellular localization together with the histopathological criteria of OEDs classification can contribute to provide more concrete indications about the oral carcinogenesis process.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Protocadherins (PCDHs) have been reported as tumor suppressor genes, implying that these genes may be involved in tumor suppression in a variety of cancers. However, a thorough understanding of the functions and mechanisms of PCDHs remains limited. Our aim was to investigate the methylation profile of PCDHs in human malignant neoplasms. METHODS: This systematic review has been recorded in PROSPERO (#42019117844) and conducted according to PRISMA's checklist; search was conducted in LILACS, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, manually, with search queries and without date or language restrictions. RESULTS: We found 91 articles, of which 26 were used for this meta-analysis and categorized according to the origin of the neoplasia. In total, 3,377 cases were compiled, with PCDH10, PCDH17, and PCDH8 being the most studied; males were 2.22 times more affected than females. Studies have shown significant heterogeneity (p <0.001), with the odds ratio varying between cases and controls [2.20 (95% CI = 1.11- 4.35) to 209.05 (95% CI = 12.64- 2,457.18)], and the value of association between methylation and cancers studied was 26.08 (95% CI = 15.42-44.13). CONCLUSION: In this systematic review, we have demonstrated using meta-analysis that PCDHs could emerge as potential tumor suppressor genes and that a significant increase in methylation may be useful for early detection of different cancers. This work may help in the identification of new prognostic biomarkers in malignant neoplasms.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: There are several lesions of odontogenic and non-odontogenic origin in the oral cavity, such as odontogenic keratocyst, as well as many treatment options for such lesions. In order to reduce recurrence due to conservative treatments and less aesthetic and functional impairment of the patient (radical therapies), Carnoy's solution has been used as an adjuvant to surgery, showing satisfactory results. Its application is not standardized, presenting risks to adjacent tissues. Thus, we characterized the Carnoy's solution with different viscosity agents to enhance its applicability. MATERIAL AND METHODS: All solutions prepared (Carnoy with and without chloroform) were added with viscosity agent: ethyl cellulose, propylene glycol, and glycerol totaling eight solutions. The pharmacological characterization of the solutions was performed by determining the mass density and relative density (using a clean and dry pycnometer), pH (using pH meter), and concentration of Fe3+ (using ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy). The analyses of the inorganic components were determined by Raman micro spectrometry. Data were analyzed with statistical program BIOESTAT 5.3. RESULTS: Solutions with ethyl cellulose were discarded due to precipitate formation and suspension of the viscosity agent. In the other solutions, viscosity increase (propylene glycol solutions) and acidic pH were observed mainly in the glycerol group. The ferric chloride characterized as a hemostatic agent had its concentration increased with the use of thickening agents, theoretically favoring its action. CONCLUSION: The similarity of the propylene glycol and glycerol molecules justifies the Raman spectra of these substances to be similar and the difficulty in obtaining a "fingerprint".

RESUMO

The objective of this case is to discuss the endodontic management in patient diagnosed with Progressive Ossificans Fibrodysplasia (POF) who sought the dental service due to discomfort in the mandible. Minor mobility of the peripheral joints, spinal involvement, gait limitation, inability to sit, report of joint pain, and limitation of TMJ movements were observed on the extra-oral examination. The intraoral examination revealed the presence of ectopic teeth (13 and 23), prolonged retention of primary teeth (53 and 63), dental gyrosurgery (34 and 33), caries lesion on teeth 36 and 47, and dental crowding. To the percussion test and the thermal pulp sensitivity of the tooth 36, there was no response, indicating pulp necrosis. Conventional endodontic therapy was performed under intrapulpal anesthesia and the dental chair placed at 45º. The patient evolved without painful symptomatology, is free of heterotopic ossification resulting from the treatment and her ability to open the mouth remained the same. Thus, endodontic treatment is a viable procedure and should be eligible in patients with POF because it minimizes local trauma and reduces iatrogenic risks, which may exacerbate the progression of the disease.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Mucoceles are common benign pseudocystic lesions of the oral cavity; their main etiological factors are trauma and ductal obstruction. Two histological patterns are found: mucus retention phenomenon (MRP) and mucus extravasation phenomenon (MEP). Mucus extravasation phenomenon is the more common histological subtype and it mainly affects the lower lip. The knowledge of its main clinical features and management is important to assist health professionals in clinical practice. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the relative frequency and distribution of oral mucoceles in an oral pathology reference center. METHODS: Cross-sectional historical study that analyzed all cases pathologically diagnosed as mucus extravasation phenomenon by the department of anatomic pathology of an oral pathology referral center from June of 1970 to May of 2014, considering the clinical characteristics of the lesion and those relating to the patient. SPSS v. 20.0 software for Windows was used for descriptive analysis. RESULTS: During 43 years, 719 cases of mucus extravasation phenomenon (54.7% men and 45.3% women) were registered, with the lower lip as the most commonly affected site (n=484; 67.3%). The average age of patients was 20.8 years (SD±14.4) with a peak occurrence in the second decade of life. Most professionals had oral mucocele/ranula (n=606; 84.3%) as the initial clinical impression. CONCLUSION: Mucus extravasation phenomenon is a lesion that primarily affects young patients, affecting mainly the lower lip, and is commonly found in oral diagnostic services.

RESUMO

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of teeth with apical periodontitis (AP), root-filled teeth with (RFTAP), and without apical periodontitis (RFT) in 2500 digital panoramic radiographs from an adult Northeastern Brazilian population sample. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 2500 panoramic radiographs from a private dental imaging center. Data regarding sex, age, RFT, AP, and RFTAP were collected. A descriptive statistical analysis was performed adopting p<0.05 as significant. Results: The female sex was more significantly associated with RFT and RFTAP than the male sex (p=0,023; p=0.040). The maxilla showed a higher association with RFTAP in the anterior region (p=0.023) and RFT in the posterior region (p=0.023). AP showed a higher prevalence in individuals aged ≥ 31 years (p<0.001). RFTAP showed higher prevalence in the age group 30-70 years (p<0.001). RFT exhibited a significant prevalence in individuals aged ≥21 years (p<0.001). Conclusion: This study showed a higher prevalence of RFT and a low prevalence of AP and RFTAP. Female patients presented a significantly higher prevalence of RFT and RFTAP. Age was an important factor associated with the prevalence of RFT, AP, and RFTAP.


Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a prevalência de dentes com periodontite apical (PA), dentes obturados com (DOPA) e sem periodontite apical (DO) em 2.500 radiografias panorâmicas digitais de uma amostra da população adulta do Nordeste brasileiro. Métodos: Um estudo retrospectivo foi realizado em 2.500 radiografias panorâmicas de um centro privado de imagem odontológica. Dados sobre sexo, idade, DO, PA e DOPA foram coletados. Foi realizada análise estatística descritiva, adotando-se p<0,05 como significante. Resultados: O sexo feminino associou-se mais significativamente com DO e DOPA do que o sexo masculino (p = 0,023; p = 0,040). A maxila apresentou maior associação com DOPA na região anterior (p = 0,023) e DO na região posterior (p = 0,023). A PA apresentou maior prevalência em indivíduos com idade ≥ 31 anos (p <0,001). O DOPA apresentou maior prevalência na faixa etária de 30 a 70 anos (p <0,001). DO exibiu uma prevalência significativa em indivíduos com idade ≥21 anos (p <0,001). Conclusão: Este estudo mostrou maior prevalência de DO e baixa prevalência de PA e DOPA. Pacientes do sexo feminino apresentaram prevalência significativamente maior de DO e DOPA. A idade foi um fator importante associado à prevalência de DO, PA e DOPA.

RESUMO

Lymphoepithelial cyst is a rare lesion of the oral cavity, with the mouth floor being the most common site of occurrence. The therapeutic approach of choice is the surgical treatment, which has rare cases of postoperative complications. The aim of this study is to report the case of a 53-year-old patient who came to Dental Service in the Federal University of Ceará complaining of a small nodular lesion (0.5 cm) located in the ventral tongue. Excisional biopsy was performed and the surgical specimen was submitted for anatomopathological analysis, which found that there was an oral lymphoepithelial cyst. The patient returned after seven days for suture removal and reported loss of sensitivity around the ventral tongue. We prescribed Citoneurin for ten days; however, there was not any significant improvement of the sensitivity. Low frequency laser therapy sessions were applied. The only postoperative symptom was dysesthesia, where there is only a sensitivity decrease. Currently, the patient has a postoperative period of 1 year without recurrence of the lesion. Although previous reports have no described tongue sensorineural disorders associated with this lesion, the occurrence of this event may be related to an unexpected anatomical variation of the lingual nerve.

Resumo Introdução: Mucoceles são lesões pseudocísticas benignas comuns da cavidade oral, que possuem como principais fatores etiológicos trauma ou obstrução ductal. Dois padrões histopatológicos são encontrados: fenômeno de retenção de muco (FRM) e fenômeno de extravasamento de muco (FEM). O FEM é o subtipo histológico mais comum e tem como principal local de acometimento o lábio inferior. O conhecimento acerca de suas principais características clínicas e formas de tratamento se faz importante para auxiliar profissionais da saúde na prática clínica. Objetivo: Este trabalho objetivou determinar a frequência relativa e a distribuição das mucoceles orais em um centro de referência em patologia oral. Método: Estudo transversal de caráter histórico, no qual foram analisados os casos diagnosticados histopatologicamente como FEM pelo serviço de anatomia patológica de um centro de referência em patologia oral no período de junho de 1970 a maio de 2014, considerando-se variáveis clínicas da lesão e relativas ao paciente. O programa estatístico SPSS 20.0 for Windows foi utilizado para a análise descritiva dos dados. Resultados: Durante 43 anos foram observados 719 casos de FEM (54,7% homens e 45,3% mulheres), sendo o lábio inferior (n = 484; 67,3%) o local de principal acometimento. A média de idade dos pacientes foi de 20,8 anos (DP ± 14,4), com pico de ocorrência na segunda década de vida. A maioria dos profissionais teve mucocele oral/rânula (n = 606; 84,3%) como primeira hipótese clínica.
