Malignant transformation of oral lichen planus and oral lichenoid lesions: A meta-analysis of 20095 patient data.

TLDR
A higher incidence of malignant transformation was found among smokers, alcoholics, and HCV-infected patients; however, these associations should be further investigated.

FAP‐α+ immunofibroblasts in oral lichen planus promote CD4+ T‐cell infiltration via CCL5 secretion

TL;DR: It is indicated that OLP fibroblasts are immunologically activated and induce CD4+ T‐cell infiltration in OLP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders (OPMD): What is the clinical utility of dysplasia grade?

TL;DR: Oral epithelial dysplasia is considered a potential histologic precursor of subsequent squamous cell cancer and is considered to be a potential cancer precursor for subsequent cancer development as discussed by the authors.

The Tipped Balance of ILC1/ILC2 in Peripheral Blood of Oral Lichen Planus Is Related to Inflammatory Cytokines

TL;DR: It is found that the proportion of total ILCs was expanded in OLP and was positively correlated with disease severity, and elevated levels of IL-12 and IL-1β might act as environmental cues in tipping the balance of ILC1/ILC2 in the peripheral blood of OLP, contributing to the immune dysregulation in O LP.

Oral Lichen Planus and Dental Implants: Protocol and Systematic Review

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic review was conducted to answer the following PICO question: "Can patients diagnosed with oral lichen planus (OLP) be rehabilitated with dental implants as successfully as patients without OLP?".

Bias in meta-analysis detected by a simple, graphical test

TL;DR: Funnel plots, plots of the trials' effect estimates against sample size, are skewed and asymmetrical in the presence of publication bias and other biases Funnel plot asymmetry, measured by regression analysis, predicts discordance of results when meta-analyses are compared with single large trials.

Critical evaluation of the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for the assessment of the quality of nonrandomized studies in meta-analyses

TL;DR: The quality assessment of non-randomized studies is an important component of a thorough meta-analysis of non randomized studies and can dramatically influence the interpretation of meta-analyses, and can even reverse conclusions regarding the effectiveness of an intervention.

Insertion of specific bases during DNA synthesis past the oxidation-damaged base 8-oxodG.

TL;DR: DCMP and dAMP are incorporated selectively opposite 8-oxodG with transient inhibition of chain extension occurring 3' to the modified base, and the potentially mutagenic insertion of dAMP is targeted exclusively to the site of the lesion.
