Fusobacterium nucleatum has been reported to coaggregate with various oral bacteria. Some of the coaggregation are inhibited by D‐galactose. D‐galactose, however, will be metabolized by oral bacteria when applied to the oral cavity, resulting in the acid generation that causes dental caries. In the present study, we developed a novel material, alkyl‐galactosides, that inhibits the coaggregation of F. nucleatum and is not metabolized by oral bacteria.Acid production from alkyl‐galactoside by Streptococcus mutans was determined by pH lowering during liquid culture. Antibacterial activity was measured using the minimum inhibitory concentration test, and coaggregation inhibitory effects were evaluated based on the relative coaggregation ratio between F. nucleatum and several oral bacteria using absorbance measurements.D‐galactose was rapidly metabolized by S. mutans, resulting in a decreased pH. Alkyl‐galactoside, however, was not metabolized by the bacterium at 1 mM. Minimum inhibitory concentration of alkyl‐galactoside against S. mutans is 1–4 mM. Alkyl‐galactoside inhibited coaggregation between F. nucleatum and several oral bacteria almost to the same extent as D‐galactose.Alkyl‐galactoside inhibits coaggregation between F. nucleatum and oral bacteria and is not assimilated by oral bacteria suggesting to be a potent novel material for prevention of dental plaque formation.","PeriodicalId":510615,"journal":{"name":"Oral Science International","volume":"317 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141012313","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}

Radiation induces ferroptosis, a form of cell death driven by iron‐dependent lipid peroxidation. Since the xCT/glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) axis is predominantly involved in the ferroptosis defense system, targeting this axis may potentiate cancer cell vulnerability to ferroptosis.We examined the expression of xCT and GPX4 in the tumor cells of biopsy specimens using immunohistochemistry and evaluated the radiation‐mediated antitumor effects of the ferroptosis inducers, erastin and RSL3, that act by inhibiting xCT and GPX4, respectively.Univariate analysis revealed that high immunohistochemical expression of xCT was correlated with shorter survival, and high GPX4 expression was an independent poor prognostic factor, indicating that the xCT/GPX4 axis influences the clinical outcome of OSCC. Analyses using two types of OSCC cell lines revealed that the clonogenic survival of irradiated cells was increased by the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin‐1 and decreased by erastin and RSL3. The enhanced antitumor effects of erastin and RSL3 were accompanied by increased lipid peroxidation, which was suppressed by the iron chelator deferoxamine. Erastin and RSL3 enhance the effects of radiation on OSCC cells in a mouse xenograft model; these effects were associated with increased expression of the lipid peroxidation marker 4‐hydroxynonenal in tumor cells.xCT/GPX4 axis is involved in the tumor resistance against radiation through the inhibition of ferroptosis in OSCC. Furthermore, radiotherapy combined with ferroptosis induction by targeting the xCT/GPX4 axis may improve patient prognosis in advanced OSCC.","PeriodicalId":510615,"journal":{"name":"Oral Science International","volume":"30 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140425023","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}

Radiological examination, rather than biopsy, is recommended for diagnosis because of the risk of infection. The dentist working at a hospital sometimes requests a family dentist to follow up on the progress of COD discovered accidentally during panoramic radiography at a hospital. However, there are few reports on the prevalence of COD on panoramic radiographs obtained at the oral surgery department of a hospital; therefore, we investigated this in this study.We examined the prevalence of COD with calcification (classification, presence of infection, and complications with simple bone cysts) in 1194 patients for whom panoramic radiographs were obtained.Twelve patients (1.0%) had findings of COD with calcification: four cases of periapical COD (three females and one male), five cases of focal COD (four females and one male), and three cases of florid COD (three females and zero males). Infection was seen in one case of Florid COD and one case of Focal COD. A simple bone cyst was observed in one patient with Florid COD.COD with calcification was observed in a certain percentage of patients, and many were asymptomatic. Dental healthcare workers need to understand that COD carries a risk of infection and that there are diseases that need to be differentiated.

In this report, lower lip fistulas were resected using an inverted‐T surgical design.Of the six patients with Van der Woude syndrome who underwent resection of the lower lip fistula in our department between January 2007 and December 2015, three patients who underwent inverted‐T lip reduction were included. The postoperative position‐dependent morphology of the fistulas was examined.Five years postoperatively, no complications such as postoperative infections, mucous retention cyst formation, a dysmorphic appearance of the lip, or fistula recurrence were observed.

An additional 100 patients with no lesions in the anterior maxilla were selected. Two deep learning systems (Systems 1 and 2) were created and tested. For System 1, the models were created and tested using datasets of radiolucent lesions (NDCs and RCs) and No lesions. For developing System 2, the data of radiopaque lesions (ISTs) were added to those used in System 1. The neural network used was You Only Look Once ver. 7 (YOLOv7). The recall, precision, F1 score, and accuracy calculated from the confusion matrix were used to evaluate diagnostic performance.The performance of System 2, which included the IST data, was worse than that of System 1. Even when NDCs and RCs were addressed as a joint category of radiolucent lesions, the addition of IST data resulted in a worse performance than that of System 1.Our results indicate that combined use of radiopaque lesions (ISTs) with radiolucent lesions (NDCs and RCs) reduces the deep learning performance for radiolucent lesions with the volume of data used in the present study.","PeriodicalId":510615,"journal":{"name":"Oral Science International","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140450424","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}
