Apart from etiological factors genetic factors also play an important role in oncogenesis. The common type of sequence variations is single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), described as a change in the coding and amino acids sequence in the related proteins which could confer protective or lethal effects on the organism. Objective: To analyze the genetic variation in the CA9 gene (rs2071676) and to compare allele frequencies in different populations worldwide. The rs2071676 variant of the CA9 gene is a missense variant that results in the substitution of the amino acid methionine in place of valine. Methods: Genotype frequencies of the SNP rs2071676 were collected from the Ensembl database for different populations and the deviations were analyzed. Furthermore, the expression profile of the CA9 gene in HNSCC was assessed using in-silico tools. The survival of patients based on the expression of the CA9 gene was also assessed. Results: The present study identified deviations in allele frequencies for rs2071676 polymorphism between different populations. The minor allele frequency in the ancestral population or the African population was found to be much lower than the other populations such as American, East Asian, and South Asian, where both the alleles showed similar frequencies. Conclusion: The significant deviation between allele frequencies in different groups provides clues about the positive selection of these alleles in certain populations. This led us to further investigate the plausibility of association of the CA9 gene with HNSCC. The intriguing facts observed from the study could aid in revealing the association between the CA9 gene and the progression of oral cancer.

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A2B1 (HNRNPA2B1) is tightly linked to tumorigenesis. Recent studies have shown that HNRNPA2B1 is a mediator of N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-dependent nuclear RNA processing events. However, the role of HNRNPA2B1 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is largely unknown. Objective: To check the expression profile for HNRNPA2B1 in HNSCC using the Oncomine datasets and TIMER database. Methods: Therefore, in the present study, we used the large TCGA RNA sequencing (RNAseq) dataset to explore the HNRNPA2B1 expression level in HNSCC. We also used Kaplan-Meier plotter to evaluate the effect of HNRNPA2B1 on clinical prognosis. Results: HNRNPA2B1 was significantly upregulated in HNSCC compared to normal tissues (pEnglish HNRNPA2B1, HNSCC, Prognostic value, m6A, m6A regulator, TCGA databasehttp://ijcrr.com/abstract.php?article_id=3235http://ijcrr.com/article_html.php?did=3235

AURKA gene encodes Aurora kinase-A, cell-cycle regulated protein which is involved in microtubule formations and stabilization of spindle poles during chromosome segregation. Overexpression of the gene is often associated with chromosome instability. Objective: The study investigates the association of AURKA gene polymorphism in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) progression. Methods: The present study follows an observational study design which employs in-silico tools to assess the frequency of the alleles related to the polymorphism (rs2064863) in different populations and its possible consequences. Results: The polymorphism (rs2064863) of AUKRA gene selected was an intron variant with the minor allele frequency of 0.37 for the G allele. Interestingly, the ancestral population or the African population demonstrated a frequency of 83% for the T allele and 16% for the G allele, where other populations such as American, European and South Asian populations presented with different allele frequencies in which both the alleles occur with similar frequencies in the population. Conclusion: The present study revealed the possible reasons for the positive selection of the minor allele in these populations, which could provide clues on the possible association of this variant with OSCC in the south Asian population.

The global incidence rate of OSCC is 47% which shows a recurrence of 30%. Objective: The aim of this study is to analyze the accuracy between risk factors and the incidence of OSCC. Methods: This retrospective study includes the subjects reported to the Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology in Saveetha Dental College between 2019- 2020. Data on age, gender, lesion site, habit profile, diagnosis, and treatment were recorded and subjected to Pearson’s Chi-square analysis for correlation between habits and other variables. Results: A total of n=77 cases were included. Male: Female ratio is 3.5:1 with maximum cases in the 5th and 6th decades of life. Totally 63.3% reported OSCC without habits and 36.7% reported OSCC with habits pan/betel quid chewing was the most frequently reported habit and buccal mucosa was the common site. Conclusion: Our study showed that the incidence of OSCC is more among the male population in the 4th - 6th decade with at least one predisposing oral habit and identified buccal mucosa to be the most commonly involved site. This study reflects the association of oral habits with the incidence and severity of the disease which quantifies the need for awareness for habit cessation among the public.

Risk factors associated are tobacco, alcohol, pan chewing, nutritional deficiency, etc. Metastasis is more commonly to cervical lymph nodes various studies have been done to study the pattern of metastasis, which helps surgeons predict the pattern and treatment planning. Objective: To evaluate the correlation between the site of occurrence of lesion and Levels of lymph node involvement in (OSCC) patients. Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted in an institution, a totally of 34 patients who were diagnosed with oral squamous cell carcinoma were included. Demographic data was collected from the management software and tabulated in a Microsoft Excel sheet and used for statistical analysis. Association between the site of lesion and Level of lymph node involvement is studied using the Chi-square test. Results: Well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (WDSCC) was more common than moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (MDSCC). The more common site of lesion with lymph node involvement is tongue and buccal mucosa than the retromolar region and gingivobuccal sulcus, 60% of lesions in buccal mucosa show involvement in Level-1B and 2 followed by the tongue (45.5%) more in Level-5. The correlation between the site of lesion and Level of nodal involvement did not show statistical significance. Conclusion: This study provides a predictive model that appears to be reliable, simple, and may help as a guide for surgeons in planning neck dissections before surgery.

The low-income groups are at a wide exposure to risk factors such as tobacco chewing, gutka consumption, smoking, etc. Objective: The aim of this epidemiological study is to determine the association of deleterious habits already deemed as risk factors in patients with oral cancer at our centre. Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing treatment for oral cancer in our institution was done to identify patients with a positive association to habits - pan chewing, smoking, and gutka consumption. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test after data collection using SPSS software version 20. Results: Out of 48, 40 patients were included for the study based on the inclusion criteria. Females had no habits (20%), while males reported an incidence of pan chewing habit (15%), and gutka consumption (10%). Overall patients undergoing treatment for oral cancer with exposure to risk factors were 35% while 65% of patients had no association with deleterious habits and risk factors associated with oral cancer. A significant association was found between the prevalence of no habits and middle age group individuals. Conclusion: The study observed a trend towards a higher incidence of oral cancer in patients without exposure to deleterious habits. This strengthens the association of incidence of oral cancer with the genetic constitution of the individual and / or other risk factors not studied here. Many cancer registries should be scanned for confirmation of this trend shift elsewhere in the nation. Clinical Significance: Genetic and molecular analysis of specimens can help shed light on the etiological factors responsible for oral cancer in patients.

SanthoshEnglish Dinesh PrabuEnglish Sankari MalaiappanEnglishIntroduction: Oral cancer represents some 2% of all new cases worldwide that may arise in a human body and it is considered a serious public health problem. The resection of malignant tumors can result in anatomical defects. Post-resection management of such defects can bring back the physical and anatomical form of the facial structure lost to a certain extent. Objective: Aim of this study is to evaluate the awareness among dental students about reconstructive surgery. Methods: In this study, we evaluate the awareness of reconstructive surgeries and the flaps available for those surgeries among a group of dental students. In this study, we found students about (65%) were aware of the term obturator and its use. Results: In this study that the student understands reconstructive surgery is performed to restore the form and function of lost structures during cancer resection, students also responded yes (95) to the question about the term anastomosis. In overall association, we found there is less awareness about reconstructive surgery among undergraduate dental students. Conclusion: This study concluded that only postgraduates show adequate knowledge about reconstructive surgery which implicates the need for including research and studies about oral cancer and its reconstruction to undergraduates which can change their view about oral cancer management.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma is reported as the top three common malignancies in India. Despite the recent advances, oral cancer has been reported with higher mortality rates all over the world. Saliva has been identified to be an efficient tool in the early detection of oral malignancy and reduces the higher rate of mortality due to late diagnosis. The goal of this saliva-based diagnosis method is to detect malignancy at an early phase and which is a hallmark of salivaomics. The current review focuses on saliva-based oral cancer diagnosis. A review of the literature of research papers on saliva-based oral cancer diagnosis was done from articles duration between 2000 to 2020. Data collection was done through search engines and databases. Articles that met the inclusion criteria have been included. Saliva is a complex fluid containing several hormones, proteins, enzymes, cytokines, antibodies, salts, antimicrobial constituents, and is associated with a variety of systemic diseases. Saliva based diagnosis has been used in the diagnosis of systemic diseases and drug monitoring. Salivary biomarkers have been identified over the years specifically for early cancer detection which has attracted much research interest, especially for oral cancers. Extensive clinical applications of fluids in the human body have been found to diagnose and monitor human health. Detection of molecular markers like DNA, RNA, protein markers in saliva can be accurate and reliable methods for the diagnosis of oral cancer.
