Malignant transformation in 1458 patients with potentially malignant oral mucosal disorders: a follow‐up study based in a Taiwanese hospital
TL;DR: The results indicate that patients with pre-malignant oral lesions need long-term follow up, and the rate and time to transformation in a group of patients from southern Taiwan with potentially malignant oral epithelial lesions are estimated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of dental pulp stem cells from a supernumerary tooth
TL;DR: Dental pulp stem cells derived from the mesiodens were capable of differentiating into adipogenic and osteogenic lineages and directionally differentiated to osteogenic and adipogenic cell lineages.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is observed that high serum resistin levels in breast cancer patients positively correlated with tumor stage, size and lymph node metastasis, and this findings provide clear evidence that resistin is a clinically relevant endogenous ligand forTLR4, which promotes tumor progression via TLR4/NF-κB/STAT3 signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tuberculosis of the head and neck: a review of 20 cases.
TL;DR: The clinical features of patients diagnosed with TB of the head and neck during the past 16 years are retrospectively reviewed to emphasize the importance of early diagnosis in such lesions, especially in slow-to-heal wounds and undiagnosed neck lumps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of human dental pulp stem/stromal cells from nonextracted crown-fractured teeth requiring root canal therapy.
TL;DR: The successful isolation and characterization of hDPSCs from the pulp tissue of complicated crown-fractured teeth without tooth extraction is described, which indicates that pulp exposed in complicated crowned teeth might represent a valuable source of personal hD PSCs.
