Objective: Electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) use among adults in the United States continues to rise. Particularly concerning is the impact of e-cigarette aerosol inhalation on the oral mucosa. Aerosols are derived from a heated e-liquid base of propylene glycol/glycerin (PG/G) often mixed with nicotine and chemical flavors. Of note, harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs), including metals and volatile organic compounds, have been detected in e-cigarette aerosols. It remains unknown, however, whether aerosols exclusively derived from e-liquid PG/G are detrimental to oral keratinocytes. The present study analyzed toxicological outcomes in normal oral keratinocytes exposed to model nicotine-free, unflavored PG/G e-liquid aerosols.
Materials and methods: Cell viability/cytotoxicity, genotoxicity, and immunoblotting assays were conducted in NOKSI, a gingiva-derived oral keratinocyte cell line, following exposure to model e-liquid aerosols or non-aerosolized controls. The HPHC acrolein, reported to form DNA adducts in the buccal mucosa from e-cigarette users, was also used in similar assays.
Results: PG/G e-liquid aerosol extracts significantly enhanced cytotoxic and DNA damaging responses in NOKSI cells when compared to non-aerosolized e-liquid treatment. Acrolein treatment led to similar results.
Conclusions: The aerosolization process of PG/G e-liquid is a critical determinant of marked cytotoxic and genotoxic stimuli in oral keratinocytes.

Aim: This meta-analysis aimed to compare the antibacterial efficacy of chitosan/chitosan nanoparticles (Ch/Ch-NPs) versus sodium hypochlorite/chlorhexidine (NaOCl/CHX).
Materials and methods: A search was performed in four electronic databases until December 08, 2023. Studies with missing, unclear, and insufficient data sets were excluded. The included studies were assessed by two independent reviewers using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Quasi-Experimental Studies. The meta-analysis of standardized mean difference was performed using a random effects model. Additionally, funnel plots as well as Egger's regression intercept test were used to evaluate potential publication bias.
Results: A total of 426 samples were used in nine included studies. There was no difference in antibacterial efficacy between Ch/Ch-NPs-NaOCl (SMD: 0.005; 95% CI: -0.844-0.854; p = 0.990). However, the antibacterial efficacy of NaOCl was statistically more effective than Ch/Ch-NPs (SMD: 0.807; 95% CI: 0.015-1.599; p = 0.046) using the bacterial culture method, and Ch/Ch-NPs was statistically higher than NaOCl (SMD: -1.827; 95% CI: -2.720, -0.934; p < 0.000) using confocal laser scanning microscopy.
Conclusions: Ch/Ch-NPs may be an alternative to NaOCl against Enterococcus faecalis. The methods used in the in vitro studies evaluating the antibacterial efficacy of irrigation solutions against E. faecalis may have had an impact on the results.

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for sialolithiasis patients using a large community and hospital-based cohort.
Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted on 20,396 individuals, including 5100 sialolithiasis patients and 15,296 matched controls. Demographics and laboratory data were obtained from electronic medical records. Statistical analyses were performed to identify significant differences between the two groups. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant.
Results: Sialolithiasis was more prevalent in women, with a mean age at diagnosis of 55.75 years. Several geographic location variables emerged as risk factors for sialolithiasis including Israeli birth, higher socioeconomic communities, and specific areas of residency. Tobacco smoking (odds ratio = 1.46) was a significant risk factor. Low high-density lipoprotein levels, elevated triglycerides, and elevated amylase levels were associated with sialolithiasis.
Conclusions: This study provides valuable insights into the demographic and laboratory characteristics of sialolithiasis patients, indicating that area of residency and lifestyle factors contribute to the risk of developing sialolithiasis. The findings may contribute to a better understanding of the disease and the development of preventative measures or early diagnostics tools.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between the expression of PD-L1 in OSCC and the clinicopathological features and prognosis of patients.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological data and prognosis of 381 OSCC patients. Immunohistochemical staining was performed on OSCC tumor specimens, and the expression level of PD-L1 was evaluated according to the combined positive score (CPS). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to identify the effect of PD-L1 expression and clinicopathological features on the prognosis of patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were conducted to determine the hazard factors affecting the prognosis of patients.
Results: PD-L1 overexpression was significantly associated with cervical lymph node metastasis (p = 0.018), worse clinical stage (p = 0.022), worse tumor differentiation (p = 0.046), and worse depth of invasion (DOI) (p = 0.003). Poorer clinical stage and degree of tumor differentiation were significantly associated with poorer OS and DSS in patients. PD-L1 expression was not associated with prognosis in patients with OSCC.
Conclusions: High PD-L1 expression was significantly associated with higher tumor malignancy in OSCC patients. Poorer clinical stage and degree of tumor differentiation were associated with poor prognosis in OSCC patients. Our results may help clinicians develop more appropriate individualized treatment strategies for their patients, thus improving their outcomes.

Objectives: This study aims to assess and contrast cognitive and psychological aspects of patients with burning mouth syndrome (BMS-MCI) and geriatric patients (G-MCI) with mild cognitive impairment, focusing on potential predictors like pain, mood disorders, blood biomarkers, and age-related white matter changes (ARWMCs).
Methods: The study enrolled 40 BMS-MCI and 40 geriatric G-MCI, matching them by age, gender, and educational background. Participants underwent psychological, sleepiness, and cognitive assessment including the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE), Trail Making Test (TMT), Corsi Block-Tapping Task, Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, Copying Geometric Drawings Test, Frontal Assessment Battery, and Digit Cancellation Test.
Results: G-MCI patients exhibited higher ARWMCs scores in right (p = 0.005**) and left (p < 0.001**) temporal regions, which may relate to specific neurodegenerative processes. Conversely, BMS-MCI patients showed higher levels of depression and anxiety and lower MMSE scores(p < 0.001**), also struggling more with tasks requiring processing speed and executive function, as evidenced by their higher TMT-A scores (p < 0.001**).
Conclusions: The study highlights particular deficits in global cognition and processing speed for BMS-MCI. The influence of educational background, pain levels, cholesterol, sleep disturbances, and anxiety on these cognitive assessments underscores the need for personalized therapeutic strategies addressing both cognitive and emotional aspects of MCI.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of recombinant psoriasin as a novel treatment for oral candidiasis by eliminating Candida albicans growth on polymethyl methacrylate denture base.
Materials and methods: Recombinant psoriasin protein was expressed and purified from E. coli, and Candida growth was monitored in vitro with varying concentrations of psoriasin. Subsequently, denture-base polymethyl methacrylate was immersed in psoriasin's solution or voriconazole, and fungal growth on the acrylic base and in the medium was examined by scanning electron microscopy and optical density, respectively. Cellular viability of HeLa and human gingival fibroblast cells treated with psoriasin was measured by methylene blue assay.
Results: The findings reveal an effective antifungal activity of psoriasin, completely inhibiting Candida albicans growth in RPMI at a protein concentration above 400 nM. Immersing the polymethyl methacrylate with 50 μM psoriasin completely eradicates fungal growth. Psoriasin has low cytotoxicity in HeLa cells at a concentration higher than 12 μM and no toxic effect on human gingival fibroblasts.
Conclusions: This study marks psoriasin as an effective alternative to conventional antifungal treatments for denture stomatitis and a safe alternative to chemical antifungals in dental medicine and beyond.
目的通过消除白色念珠菌在聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯义齿基托上的生长,评估重组银屑病素作为口腔念珠菌病新型疗法的疗效:从大肠杆菌中表达和纯化重组银屑病素蛋白,用不同浓度的银屑病素在体外监测念珠菌的生长。随后,将义齿基底聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯浸入银屑病素溶液或伏立康唑中,分别用扫描电子显微镜和光密度法检测丙烯酸基底和培养基中的真菌生长情况。用亚甲基蓝测定法测量了经银屑病素处理的 HeLa 细胞和人牙龈成纤维细胞的细胞活力:结果:研究结果表明,银屑病素具有有效的抗真菌活性,当蛋白浓度超过 400 nM 时,它能完全抑制白色念珠菌在 RPMI 中的生长。用 50 μM 银翘散浸泡聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯可完全根除真菌生长。当浓度高于 12 μM 时,银屑病素对 HeLa 细胞的细胞毒性较低,对人类牙龈成纤维细胞无毒性作用:这项研究表明,Psoriasin 是治疗义齿口腔炎的传统抗真菌疗法的有效替代品,也是牙科医学及其他领域化学抗真菌药物的安全替代品。
