Gowri","doi":"10.15713/ins.jcri.284","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15713/ins.jcri.284","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Podoplanin is a mucin-like transmembrane glycoprotein that been highly and specifically expressed in the lymphatic endothelial cells, but not in the endothelium of blood vessels. Studies have shown that podoplanin expression in tumor cells including those of squamous cell carcinomas and a relationship with the clinicopathological features. This raises a possibility that podoplanin might have a biological function in oral squamous cell carcinoma and its expression could be used as a biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis. Methods: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks and histopathology reports of 50 cases of OSCC were used in this study. These were evaluated immunohistochemically for the expression of podoplanin using D2-40, a monoclonal antibody. The association between podoplanin expression and tumor site, size and degree of differentiation, lymph node metastasis, and prognosis was analyzed. Results: In this study, we observed that podoplanin was highly expressed in OSCC, but we found no significant association between podoplanin expression and clinicopathological characteristics and survival. Conclusion: The role of podoplanin as a marker for lymph node metastasis is questionable. To determine the role of podoplanin as a prognostic marker, further prospective studies are required with a longer follow-up period. Further studies using a combination of markers are required to predict tumor invasiveness and occult metastasis in OSCC.","PeriodicalId":14943,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Clinical and Research Insights","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85642852","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}

In orofacial development, EMT plays a crucial role in organogenesis such as salivary gland development and tooth development.

The components of this joint are a fibrous capsule, a disk, synovial membrane, fluid, and tough adjacent ligaments. The mandible and the cranium are mechanically two different components; therefore, the appropriate term for this joint is the craniomandibular articulation. It is not possible to understand the accurate points of occlusion without a thorough knowledge of the biomechanics, physiology, and anatomy of TMJ. The primary necessity for successful occlusal treatment is steady and comfortable TMJ. This understanding of the TMJ is the foundation to diagnosis and treatment of almost everything a dentist does.","PeriodicalId":14943,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Clinical and Research Insights","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73991096","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}

There has been a constant change in the classification systems ever since Broca’s classified in the year 1867. Later, the WHO classified these odontogenic tumors in the year 1971. In these classification systems, there were omissions and updating of lesions by the WHO. This dynamic change in the classification systems is based on the results and conclusions of molecular and genetic studies carried out at various research institutes across the globe. In this context, the WHO has recently reclassified the odontogenic tumors in 2017. In this classification, Keratocystic odontogenic tumor and calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor have been omitted from odontogenic tumors, and they are reclassified as odontogenic cysts. Another major change in the classification of odontogenic tumors is a reclassification of desmoplastic ameloblastoma as a histologic subtype of conventional/solid ameloblastoma, rather than a distinct entity or a type of ameloblastoma. Newer entities have been added to the classification systems, namely Primordial odontogenic tumor and sclerosing odontogenic carcinoma. The WHO 2017 classification has simplified odontogenic sarcomas entitling them as only odontogenic sarcomas rather than subtyping them. Understanding the pathogenesis and the histopathological characteristics of the newer entities will enable the prompt diagnosis and treatment plan of the lesions.","PeriodicalId":14943,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Clinical and Research Insights","volume":"121 1","pages":"24-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74524565","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}
