We demonstrate optical cross-sectional imaging system implemented with high-resolution interferometry and present oral diagnostic imaging results obtained without any physical sectioning. High-resolution interferometry could be performed with utilizing broadband optical source and employment of beam scanning device to high-resolution interferometer constitutes optical imaging system for non-invasive cross-sectional view at real-time. The optical imaging system is implemented with fiber-optic devices for compactness and optical probe head is realized by using single mode optical fiber and miniaturized actuator, which is properly designed for the application to dental imaging. The basic performance of the optical imaging system, for example, such as resolution, imaging depth, and sensitivity is suggested to prove high-resolution optical imaging performance. Feasibility of the developed optical imaging system performance in the application of dental diagnostic is proved with demonstrating non-invasively obtained cross-sectional images. The imaging quality suggested in the images could be applied to assessment of oral diseases and used for alternative imaging modality to X-ray diagnostic method overcoming disadvantage of low-image resolution. The imaging performance enabling real-time image reconstruction also could be exploited as early oral diagnostic apparatus prior to microscopic observation under H&E staining.

Odontoblasts and/or dental pulp cells are responsible for tooth repair as well as dentin formation. Adhesion and migration are critical processes for tissue regeneration. This study was performed to clarify whether Pam3 modulates adhesion and migration of a murine odontoblast-like cell line, MDPC-23 cell and TLR2 signaling is engaged in this process. TLR2 expression in MDPC-23 cells was examined by RT-PCR. Adhesion assay was performed using type Ⅰ collagen-coated plates. Migration ability was determined by a commercial assay kit. Phosphorylation of IκB-α, JNK, p38, and ERK was examined by Western blot analysis. TLR2 was functionally expressed in MDPC-23 cells. Pam3CSK treatment enhanced adhesion and migration of MDPC-23 cells in a dose-dependent manner. Blockade of TLR2 using its antibody restored Pam3CSK-induced adhesion and migration of MDPC-23 cells. These findings indicate that Pam3CSK, an immune activator from gram negative bacteria, can promote adhesion and migration ability of MDPC-23 cells via TLR2.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common carcinomas in the head and neck area. Bitter melon extraction (Momordicacharantia, BME) has been used as a functional food to prevent and treat human health related issues. It has recently been reported that BME inhibits breast cancer cell growth by arresting cell cycle and promoting apoptosis. In this study, we aimed at proving the inhibitory action of BME on OSCC proliferation. We used two OSCC cell lines, SCC4 and Ca9-22. Both cell lines were treated with different concentrations (1%, 2%, and 5%) of BME. Cell viability was examined by MTT assay. DNA condensation was visualized by immunofluorescence microscope to determine the signs of the cell apoptosis. Cell numbers were significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner by bitter melon at concentration of 1% of BME on Ca9-22 cell line (P=0.001) but no significant effect on SCC4 (P=0.124) at the same concentration. 2% BME treatment of the Ca9-22 cell line induces chromatin condensation and DNA fragmentation after 20 hours. It seems that BME inhibits the proliferation of Ca9-22 cell line by inducing apoptosis. Thus, BME may be used as a dietary supplement for prevention of OSCC.

Sappanchalcone, a biologically active compound isolated from Caesalpinia sappan L., is reported to exert a variety of biological activities, such as neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory actions and inhibitory effect on antigen-induced beta hexosaminidase release. However, the vascular protective effects of this compound are not fully understood. The present study examined the effects of sappanchalcone in suppressing cell adhesion molecules expression in high glucose stimulated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Sappanchalcone significantly decreased 25 mM high glucose-induced vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression in a dose-dependent manner. Sappanchalcone also significantly inhibited the formation of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Furthermore, we found that the vascular protective effects of sappanchalcone were linked to the up-regulation of heme oxygenase-1 expression in HUVEC. The effects of sappanchalcone on the high glucose-induced expression of VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 were partially reversed by treatment of the cells with an inhibitor of HO-1, tin protoporphyrin IX (SnPP). Based on these results, these findings suggest that sappanchalcone-induced HO-1 expression plays a key role in the vascular protective effects of sappanchalcone in HUVEC.

Neurotized melanocytic nevus (NMN) is categorized into intradermal/intramucosal type of acquired melanocytic nevus. In contrast to typical intramucosal nevus which has relatively distinct histological features, the diagnosis of NMN requires more attention due to its mimicry of benign neural tumors such as neurofibroma. The majority of lesional cells, NMN cells, showed a spindle cell morphology and abundant, eosinophilic cytoplasm which were positive for S-100, vimentin, and collagen type IV. Positive reaction for MART-1 was detected in the NMN cells as well as in the epithelioid nevus cells beneath the epithelium. Neurofibroma exhibited diffuse positivity for S-100, vimentin, CD34 and collagen type IV, but never expressed MART-1. Toluidine blue stained the numerous mast cells scattered in the lesion of neurofibroma, compared to the relatively minor detection of mast cells in NMN. Therefore, MART-1 is a useful marker in differentiating NMN from neurofibroma.

Small cell osteosarcoma of bone, which was first described in 1979, is an unusual variant of osteosarcoma. Osteoid production by tumor cells is frequently focal or minimal, making the differential diagnosis with other small round cell tumors of bone difficult. Here, we present a rare case of small cell osteosarcoma of the mandible appearing as bony bulging mass in 31-year-old male who has neither tenderness nor paresthesia. Histologically, the tumor contains hypercellular cartilage and abnormal osteoid associated with small round to ovoid malignant cells. Awareness of small cell osteosarcoma should be emphasized because it has worse prognosis than both other small round cell tumor and conventional osteosarcoma.

Abstract. Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is considered as a benign tumor with local aggressive course, consisting of myofibroblastic spindle cells with an inflammatory cells infiltration. IMTs are more usually found in the lung and very rarely in the mandible. We report an IMT of the mandible in a 54-year-old man. The patient complained of pain on the right side of mandible. Radiographically, the lesion was occupied in the right mandible with bone destruction. Although the initial diagnosis was an osteomyelitis, the histopathologic examination and immunohistochemistry revealed it to be an IMT. Histologically, the lesion was composed of inflammatory cells infiltration within a variably fibroblastic or myofibroblastic spindle cell background. Immunohistochemically, spindle cells stained with smooth muscle actin (SMA) and CD68 (KP1), but uniformly negative with desmin and cytokeratin.
