Cyclin D1 amplification in tongue and cheek squamous cell carcinoma.

INTRODUCTION Several molecular markers have been studied for their usefulness as prognostic markers in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). One such molecular marker is cyclin D1 which is a proto-oncogene located on 11q13 in humans. OBJECTIVE To explore the feasibility of using cyclin D1 as a prognostic marker in tongue and cheek SCC by the fluorescent-in-situ hybridization (FISH) method. M...

Maximal strength and endurance scores of the tongue, lip, and cheek in healthy, normal Koreans

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to establish normative data for healthy Korean adults by measuring the maximal strength and endurance scores of the tongue, lip, and cheek, and to examine correlations between these measurements. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 120 subjects that were divided into three groups according to age: young (20-39 years), middle-aged (40-59 years), a...

An electronic technic for recording the myodynamic forces of the lip, cheek, and tongue.

RECENTLY, at least five reports'-5 have been submitted and as many devices have been constructed to measure the forces acting on the dental arch. All of these have pertained to the measurement of occlusal biting forces. Feldstein6 employed the principle of hydraulics in a technic to measure the immediate forces on the buccal or lingual surface of a tooth. The technic described herein has been p...
