Macrophages and prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma: a systematic review
In conclusion, macrophages are important to OSCC patients’ prognosis, however it is necessary to address in which tumor region the presence of polarized macrophage is more important to the outcome.

Treatment Resistance in Potentially Malignant Disorders – ‘Nature’ or ‘Nurture’…?
ConclusionDespite clinico‐pathological profiling of treatment resistant patients, the precise inter‐relationship between the inherent nature of potentially malignant disease and the external influence of treatment intervention remains obscure.This article is protected by copyright.

Efficacy of low ‐level laser therapy compared to steroid therapy in the treatment of oral lichen planus: A systematic review
ConclusionIt remains debatable whether LLLT is more effective as compared to corticosteroids in the treatment of OLP, given that the scientific evidence is weak. These findings are preliminary and further randomized clinical trials are recommended. (Source: Journal of Oral Pathology and Medicine)

Surgical specimen handover from the operating theatre to laboratory —Can we improve patient safety by learning from aviation and other high‐risk organisations?
Essential communication between healthcare staff is considered one of the key requirements for both safety and quality care when patients are handed over from one clinical area to other. This is particularly important in environments such as the operating theatre and intensive care where mistakes can be devastating. Health care has learned from other high‐risk organisations (HRO) such as aviation where the use of checklists and human factors awareness has virtually eliminated human error and mistakes. To our knowledge, little has been published around ways to improve pathology specimen handover following surgery, with pa...

Artepillin C as a targeting survivin molecule in oral squamous cell carcinoma cells in vitro: a preliminary study
ConclusionsHSC‐3 cells are vulnerable to artepillin C in a dose‐ and time‐dependent manner. HSC‐3 cell death induced by artepillin C, at least in part, was a result of a decrease in survivin levels.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Immune response of patients with recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis challenged with a symbiotic

Profiling Cancer Risk in Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders – a Patient Cohort Study
ConclusionSquamous carcinoma may arise at the site of a precursor lesion as transformation or new‐site development via field cancerisation. Whilst interventional surgery facilitates early diagnosis and treatment of occult disease, thus reducing risk from same‐site transformation, new‐site cancer is a significant long‐term risk for potentially malignant disorder patients.This article is protected by copyright.

Advances toward fully automated in vivo assessment of oral epithelial dysplasia by nuclear endomicroscopy —A pilot study
ConclusionsNuclear‐to‐image ratios are applicable for automated optical in vivo diagnostics for oral potentially malignant disorders. Nuclear endomicroscopy may promote non‐invasive, early detection of dys‐/neoplastic lesions by reducing sampling error. (Source: Journal of Oral Pathology and Medicine)
