Recently, evidence that suggests that CDSO may be the mandibular location of a more diffuse condition, the synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome, has been offered.

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), also called cyclin, is a 36-KD auxiliary protein of DNA polymerase-delta, that has been found to be a useful marker in immunocytochemical studies of cell proliferation because its expression correlates with the proliferative state of the cell. PCNA expression was analyzed in 10 samples of normal mucosa, 23 benign oral lesions (18 hyperplasia and 5 oral lichen plani), 10 oral lesions with epithelial dysplasia, and 10 dysplastic epithelia adjacent to tumors. Immunocytochemical stained sections were scored for the presence or absence of suprabasal PCNA positivity regardless of location. The results indicate that the PCNA expression in the suprabasal layers increased with the degree of epithelia dysplasia and in the samples of histological dysplastic epithelium adjacent to the tumors, while the percentage of suprabasal PCNA expression was insignificant in the samples of normal oral mucosa and benign oral lesions. The authors conclude that suprabasal PCNA expression could be a marker of dysplasia in oral mucosa, indicating a special proliferative cellular state in those lesions.</p>","PeriodicalId":75420,"journal":{"name":"Acta stomatologica Belgica","volume":"93 1","pages":"29-32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19947312","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}

During that period the number of isolated mandibular fractures doubled, whereas the frequency of combined mandibular fractures was nearly constant. The male/female ratio was 3.1 to 1. The more severe the combined mandibular fractures had been, the less female patients were concerned. Most of the patients were between 16 and 30 years old followed by 31 to 45 year old patients. The main reason for isolated mandibular fractures had been assaults, followed by falls and road traffic accidents, whereas most of the combined mandibular fractures were caused by road traffic accidents. The numbers of single and double fractures of the mandible were nearly equal. Certain and uncertain signs of fractures are mostly unreliable, so that an X-ray is needed.
