Histopathological Investigation

A 3-week-old suckling piglet spontaneously died after septicemic colibacillosis. At postmortem examination, bulging and ulcerated lesions were seen, affecting the oral mucosa on the inner surface of the lower lip. After histopathological investigation, the diagnosis of congenital oral squamous cell carcinoma was made. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of congenital oral squamous cell carcinoma ever described. A relationship has been shown or suggested between papillomavirus infection and oral squamous cell carcinoma in humans and animals. However, next-generation sequencing study did not demonstrate any papillomavirus sequences in the case reported herein.

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the sixth most common cancer in the world, and the bacterial microbiome has been considered a risk factor that could play an important role in carcinogenesis. Objective: A bacteriome study was performed by next-generation sequencing in dental plaque, saliva, and tumor samples of 10 OSCC patients and compared with bacteriome in dental plaque and saliva of 10 patients without OSCC. Methods: DNA was extracted from all samples and sequenced by Illumina technology MiSeq™. Bioinformatic analyzes were performed for evaluated sequence quality, alpha and beta diversity, bidirectional analysis of variance (p <0.05), and principal component analysis. After establishing bacterial profiles associated with each sample and population, intragroup and intergroup comparisons were carried out. For bacteria identification compatible with eubiosis and dysbiosis processes, a screening was performed based on the frequency of appearance in all patient samples with and without OSCC. Lastly, frequency, average, standard deviation, Chi-square, and Mann Whitney test were calculated. Results: Out of the identified 1,231 bacteria in the populations under study, 45 bacterial species were selected, of which 34 were compatible with eubiosis, and 11 were compatible with dysbiosis. Among the bacteria compatible with eubiosis were species of Lactobacillus and Streptococcus, Chromobacterium violaceum, Enterobacter asburiae, Mycobacterium chubuense, Mycoplasma penetrans, and Brachyspira intermedia. Among the species associated with dysbiosis,  Providencia stuartii, Capnocytophaga canimorsus, Legionella pneumophila, and Mycoplasma hominis were notable. Conclusion: Thirty-four bacterial species may be associated with eubiosis or healthy states and 11 bacterial species could be associated with dysbiosis or pathogenic state, OSCC.

Background and Objectives: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is considered as a major health problem worldwide and has been associated with high recurrence rate and poor progno-sis. Advances in understanding of OSCC have not improved the outcome in their management significantly. Many studies have focused on the roles of biomolecular markers in OSCC. The use of p16 and Ki67 as biomarkers of biological behavior of oral squamous cell carcinoma is contro-versial. This study aimed to determine immunoexpression of P16 and Ki67 in oral squamous cell carcinoma and to evaluate their association with various clinicopathological parameters. Materials and Methods: Fifty cases of squamous cell carcinoma from different locations in the oral cavity were included in this cross sectional study. The cases were collected from Rizgary Teaching Hospital and Private Laboratories in Erbil city during a period of eight months from October 2018 to May 2019. The expression of p16 and Ki 67 were evaluated immunohistochem-ically; the findings were correlated with the age of the patients, gender, site of the tumor and grade of the tumor. Result: A total of 50 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma were enrolled in this study the age ranged from 33 to 89 years, with a mean age ± SD of (64.24 ±12.01) years and more than half (52.0%) of them were males. Lower lip was the most common site of the tumor followed by upper lip and tongue (42.0%, 26.0% and 18.0%, respectively). Histopathological findings of the tumor showed that (54.0%) of the patients had moderately differentiated squamous cell carci-noma. However, (84.0%) of the patients showed negative expression of P 16, while Ki 67 ex-pression was positive among (76.0%) of them. No significant statistical association were found between immunoexpression of p16 and age, sex of patient, site of the tumor and grade of the tumor (P=0.67, P=0,095, P=0.696, P=0.454 respectively). No significant statistical association were found between immunoexpression of Ki67 and age, sex of patient, site of the tumor and grade of the tumor (P=0.637, P=0,411, P=0.353, P=1.00 respectively). Conclusion: in relation to the results obtained in this study no significant association were found between P16 and Ki 67 immunoexpression in oral squamous cell carcinoma with clinicopatho-logical parameters. Further researches have to be designed to better understand the role of p16 and Ki 67 in OSCC. Keywords: oral squamous cell carcinoma, immunoexpression, P16, Ki67.
