Nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) expression in histologically normal margins of oral squamous cell carcinoma
The activity of Nitric Oxide Synthase 2 (NOS2) was found in oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) but not in normal mucosa. Molecular changes associated to early carcinogenesis have been found in mucosa near carcinomas, which is considered a model to study field cancerization. The aim of the present study is to analyze NOS2 expression at the histologically normal margins of OSCC. Study Design: Eleven biopsy specimens of OSCC containing histologically normal margins (HNM) were analyzed. Ten biopsies of normal oral mucosa were used as controls. The activity of NOS2 was determined by immunohistochemistry. Salivary nitrate and nitrite as well as tobacco and alcohol consumption were also analyzed…
Sialometaplasia Necrotizante: Presentación de cinco casos clínicos
La sialometaplasia necrotizante (SN) es una afección inflamatoria, autoresolutiva, que afecta a las glándulas salivales, más frecuentemente a las menores. Si bien su etiopatogenia permanece aún desconocida, diversos autores sugieren que una agresión fisico-química o biológica sobre los vasos sanguíneos produciría isquemia, la cual conduciría al infarto de la glándula y su posterior necrosis. Su aspecto clínico e histológico tiene apariencias de malignidad. Clínicamente puede presentarse como una úlcera de bordes irregulares, ligeramente elevados y lecho necrótico, mientras que histopatológicamente se caracteriza por presentar metaplasia escamosa de conductos y acinos e hiperplasia pseudoepi…
Preoperative oral practices and incidence of postoperative complications in hospital medical-surgical procedures: A meta-analysis
Oral decay prior to a hospital medical-surgical procedure is a risk factor for the development of postoperative complications. However, perioperative oral practices as a protective factor have not been studied. This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of perioperative oral practices in the reduction of risk of developing postoperative complications in in-hospital medical surgical procedures. This review and meta-analysis was conducted according to Cochrane guidelines. Medline, Scopus, Scielo, and Cochrane were consulted. Articles of the previous 10 years concerning adult patients undergoing perioperative oral practices prior to hospital medical-surgical procedures, were included. Dat…
Oral cancer mortality in the province of Cordoba, Argentine Republic in the period 1975-2000 : A comparative study with other populations
Malignant neoplasm (MN) mortality worldwide ranks among the first four causes of death, in the 1990 decade (1-4). The aim of this work is to study the eight most frequent MN mortality rates, and especially that one caused by oral cancer (OC) in the province of Cordoba, Argentine Republic, in the period between 1975 and 2000, in order to analyze its characteristics and compare with other populations in America and Europe. Material and Methods: The data were provided by the provincial and national Health Ministry and Globocan 2000. Results: The highest male rates were those of Slovakia and France, prevailing lung and bronchus tumors; whereas in females the highest rate was that of breast canc…
Mortalidad por cáncer bucal en la provincia de Córdoba, República Argentina (período 1975-2000): estudio comparativo con otras poblaciones
A nivel mundial la mortalidad por neoplasias malignas (NM), figura entre las cuatro primeras causas de muerte en la década del 90 (1-4). El objetivo del presente trabajo, es estudiar la tasa de mortalidad por las ocho NM más frecuentes y especialmente por cáncer bucal (CB) en la provincia de Córdoba, República Argentina en el período 1975-2000, analizar sus características y compararla con la de otras poblaciones de América y Europa. Material y Métodos: los datos se obtuvieron del Ministerio de Salud de Córdoba y Argentina y de Globocan 2000. Resultados: en el sexo masculino se observó que los países con más alta tasa fueron Eslovaquia y Francia, siendo los Tumores más prevalentes los de pu…
Oral Human Papillomavirus : a multisite infection
Background The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) has different strategies for persist in the cells. This characteristic has led us to consider the presence of the virus in tissues of the oral cavity that had no clinical signs of infection. The aim of this study was to detect the presence of DNA-HPV at multiple sites of the oral cavity. Material and Methods A case-control study was designed: Oral Squamous Carcinoma Group (OSCG), healthy n=72 and Control Group (CG), n=72, healthy volunteers paired by sex and age with OSCG. Four samples were taken from OSCG: saliva, biopsy, brush scraping of lesion and contralateral healthy side. In CG a saliva sample and a scratch of the posterior border of tongue w…
