TL;DR: It is concluded that the role of macrophages in driving progression in oral disease identifies them as potential therapeutic targets for a range of oral pathologies.
Abstract: Macrophages are present in healthy oral mucosa and their numbers increase dramatically during disease. They can exhibit a diverse range of phenotypes characterised as a functional spectrum from pro-inflammatory to anti-inflammatory (regulatory) subsets. This review illustrates the role of these subsets in the oral inflammatory disease lichen planus, and the immunosuppressive disease oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We conclude that the role of macrophages in driving progression in oral disease identifies them as potential therapeutic targets for a range of oral pathologies.

TL;DR: The two main problems in the management of the gastrointestinal tract in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) are the long term cancer risk and managing polyp related complications, such as intussusception and bleeding as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The two main problems in the management of the gastrointestinal tract in patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) are the long term cancer risk and managing polyp related complications, such as intussusception and bleeding. In this article we will focus mainly on the clinical management of these problems. We will highlight some of the controversies regarding gastrointestinal PJS polyps, cancer development and cancer risk. We will review the available literature, particularly focusing on clinical data, to provide insights into these controversies. We describe guidelines for the surveillance and management of gastrointestinal polyps in PJS and review the data behind current recommendations.
