Because it has been hypothesized that abnormal cell proliferation is related to subsequent malignant transformation, many proliferation markers such as proliferating cell nuclear antigen have been studied in a variety of malignant tumors. In oral surface epithelium, proliferating cell nuclear antigen activity is restricted to basal layers of normal squamous mucosa. In this preliminary study, 169 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded oral epithelial lesions, including 28 carcinomas in situ, 82 epithelial dysplasias, 21 epithelial atypia, and 38 typical epithelial hyperplasias, were studied with a monoclonal antibody, PC10, to determine whether proliferating cell nuclear antigen suprabasal expression correlated with premalignancy. The findings revealed that with progression of lesions toward malignancy, there was a significant predilection for basal/suprabasal staining pattern for proliferating cell nuclear antigen as compared with the strictly basal staining pattern seen in normal and benign epithelial conditions. One unexpected staining pattern, suprabasal positive stain only, was also noted mostly in reactive hyperplasia and dysplasia. The data suggested that a positive basal/suprabasal staining pattern for proliferating cell nuclear antigen is indicative of premalignancy in oral epithelial lesions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100992,"journal":{"name":"Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology","volume":"78 6","pages":"Pages 748-754"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0030-4220(94)90091-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"18542671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hepatitis C virus in contrast does not appear to be a major occupational hazard to dental staff, nevertheless, infection with this virus can lead to significant morbidity and may have oral manifestations. Hepatitis D virus can be nosocomally transmitted, but vaccination against the hepatitis B virus minimizes this problem. Hepatitis E virus is not of clinical relevance to dentistry, although dental staff who are in areas of endemic infection can become infected as a result of enteric transmission.

The microscopic features of the injury are those of acute inflammation, but the nature of the plant's toxicity remains controversial. The numerous needles (raphides) of calcium oxalate, which are contained in specialized cells (idioblasts) in the plant, and proteases have both been implicated. When stimulated, the idioblasts fire the raphides with some force for a distance of two to three cell lengths. One possibility is that the local toxicity of dieffenbachia may be caused by a combination of this mechanical release of the raphides, which results in traumatic injury, and the effects of a chemical toxin carried on their surfaces and in their grooves.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100992,"journal":{"name":"Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology","volume":"78 5","pages":"Pages 631-633"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0030-4220(94)90177-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92121652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
