Objective@#To analyze the clinical characters and surgical treatment of primary parapharyngeal space (PPS) tumors.@*Methods@#A total of 23 cases of primary PPS tumors which were treated from November 2011 to December 2017 were included for the retrospective analysis in this study.@*Results@#Twenty-three cases of patients with primary PPS tumors were analyzed in this study. Surgical approach was as follows: transcervial approach applied in 7 cases, transparotid approach in 4 cases, transoral approach in 2 cases, transmandibular approach in 4 cases, and the combined approaches on 6 cases. Besides, among 7 cases with upper PPS tumor, we applied the surgical navigation system in the surgery of 3 cases. The mean surgery duration of these cases, 3.5 h, was shorter than unused ones, while the mean maximum size (MMS) of tumors, 5.7 cm, was also larger. So far, 23 cases had no recurrence and metastasis. The most frequent histopathological type of all the cases was pleomorphic adenoma (8 cases), followed by Schwannoma (5 cases). With an 8-to-72-months follow up, 23 cases had no recurrence, metastasis or death.@*Conclusions@#Surgical resection is preferred in the treatment of PPS tumors. In the upper PPS tumor cases, the surgical navigation system could reduce the operative duration significantly and is more suitable for larger tumors.

Surgical resection with adequate margins is an essential component of the treatment for patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). A distance of 5 mm or more between healthy tissue to the tumor front is generally accepted as a safe margin. It is very important for surgeons to precisely evaluate the resection area of tumor both pre- and intra-operatively and try to achieve a safe margin, which will result in a decreased risk of local recurrence. The relationship of surgical margin status to patients' prognosis, and factors which will affect surgical margin distance demand are discussed in this paper. We recommend that adequate margins evaluation should take consideration of many factors such as anatomical location, depth of tumor invasion, pattern of tumor invasion, mucosal dysplasia grade and so on. With the development of molecular biology, surgical margin study at molecular level can give us a new strategy to evaluate its adequacy.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To mimic oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell hypoxia by using chemical agent CoCl2 and to investigate its biological behaviour.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines HSC-3 and SCC-4 were exposed to different concentration of CoCl2. HSC-3 and SCC-4 cells were treated with 50, 100, 150, 200 µmol/L CoCl2. Expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) were measured by real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blotting in both mRNA and protein level. Cell proliferation, cell apoptosis and cell cycle were detected to analyze its biological behaviour. Both wound healing and Transwell assay were applied to test the ability of cell igration.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The result showed that after treatment of 150 µmol/L CoCl2 for 24 h, mRNA level of HIF-1α, VEGF and Bcl-2 was increased by 6.00 ± 0.20, 5.40 ± 0.40, 5.40 ± 0.30 (SCC-4); 5.60 ± 0.30, 5.20 ± 0.60, 5.80 ± 0.40(HSC-3). OSCC cells treated with 150 µmol/L CoCl2 for 24 h were collected. Compared with control group, the growth rate of cells was significantly decreased, P value was less than 0.05 (when HSC-3, SCC-4 cultured for 2 and 3 days). The apoptosis of OSCC cells was increased when treated with 150 µmol/L CoCl2 for 24 h:HSC-3 2.25% (control group) and 5.82% (treatment group); SCC-4 2.58% (control group) and 10.27% (treatment group). The migration ablility of OSCC cells was decreased when using 150 µmol/L CoCl2 for 24 h. The migration area ratio was (31.5 ± 2.3) % (HSC-3), (29.1 ± 1.5) % (SCC-4) in control group and (18.3 ± 1.9) % (HSC-3), (13.2 ± 0.8)% (SCC-4) in treatment group (P < 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The hypoxic cell model of OSCC could be induced by CoCl2. The expression level of hypoxic markers was up regulated significantly and the cells biological behaviour changed including decreased cell proliferation, increased apoptosis and decreased migration.</p>

Objective: To identify the different protein expression profiles between human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and normal oral mucosa tissues, and provide experimental data for further study of the development mechanism of OSCC. Methods: 10 cases of OSCC and paired normal oral mucosa tissues were collected and analyzed through two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Results: (1) The average protein spots of OSCC were 2 325±390, while that of normal oral mucosa tissues were 2 487±281. (2) 29 differential protein spots were found between OSCC and normal oral mucosa. Moreover, these protein spots were all down- regulated in OSCC compared with normal oral mucosa. Among these spots, 3 were identified as fibrin beta, triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) and unknown protein through mass spectrometry and bioinformation. Conclusion: Down-regulation of fibrin beta, Triosephosphate isomerase(TIM) and unknown protein are found in the development of OSCC and the mechanism needs further study.

This paper presents a new method of designing restoration model of maxillectomy defect through Computer aided technology. Firstly, 3D maxillectomy triangle mesh model is constructed from Helical CT data. Secondly, the triangle mesh model is transformed into initial computer-aided design (CAD) model of maxillectomy through reverse engineering software. Thirdly, the 3D virtual restoration model of maxillary defect is obtained after designing and adjusting the initial CAD model through CAD software according to the patient's practical condition. Therefore, the 3D virtual restoration can be fitted very well with the broken part of maxilla. The exported design data can be manufactured using rapid prototyping technology and foundry technology. Finally, the result proved that this method is effective and feasible.

Objective: To investigate the anti-tumor effect of lymph oc yte-mediated immunity induced by Tca8113 cell lysate-pulsed dendritic cells(DC s). Methods: Human peripheral blood monocytes were cultured in R PMI 1640 medium countaning ?=10% FBS with GM-CSF + IL-4 + either TNF-? or n ot. Control cells were cultured without any cytokine. Nonadherent cells were har vested, and continuously incubated with Tca8113 cell lysate made by freez-thaw method, and then the cells were cultured together with autologous lymphocytes. T he activated lymphocytes were co-cultured with Tca8113 cells at E∶T ratio of 1 00∶1. The cells were observed morphologically and assessed by immunocytochemis try before and after the pulse, while the survival rate of Tca8113 cells was stu died by MTT method. All results were analyzed statistically. Results: (1) Typical DCs were generated with higher expression of CD83 in the group s with TNF-? treatment, or with tumor antigen stimulation. (2) The effective l ymphocytes induced by DCs inhibited the proliferation of Tca8113 cells. Conclusion: DCs generated from monocytes in the presence of GM-CSF an d IL-4 can develop to be mature after tumor antigen pulse. DCs induce the lymph ocyte-mediated suppression effect on Tca8113 cells; TNF-? can accelerate DC m ature.

Objective:To assess regional occult metastases on clinical negative neck node [cN0] in patients with buccal mucosal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods:69 patients (31males and 38 females ) with cN0 buccal mucosa squamous cell carcinoma who underwent a lymph node dissection (at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Affiliated Stomatological Hospital, Nanjing University Medical School) between 1992 and 2004, were retrospectively reviewed. The patients ranged in age from 31 to 79 years with a mean age of 58.2 years. All patients received radical neck dissection(RND), functional neck dissection (FND) or supraomohyoid neck dissection (SOND). Results:The incidence of occult metastases for patients with cN0 buccal mucosa squamous cell carcinoma was 14.49% (10/69).The distribution of the positive nodes was as follows: Level I,10.14%(7/69); Level II, 5.80% (4/69); Level III, 2.90%(2/69). The occult metastasis rate for patients with T1, T2, T3 and T4 was 9.52% (2/21), 15.38%(6/39), 25.00%(1/4), and 20.00%(1/5), respectively. In patients with well differentiated carcinoma,the occult metastasis rate was 14.89%(7/47); moderate differentiated,10.00%(2/20); and poorly differentiated,50.00%(1/2). Conclusion:The assessment of regional occult metastases for patients with cN0 buccal mucosa squamous cell carcinoma may play an important role in deciding treatment approaches of neck.
