1.3. Oral mucosa 1.3.1. Anatomy and histology The oral mucosa is the mucous membrane lining the inside of the mouth and consists of stratified squamous epithelium termed oral epithelium and an underlying connective tissue termed lamina propria (Nanci and Elsevier, 2013). At the lips the oral mucosa is continuous with the skin, and at pharynx the oral mucosa is continuous with the moist mucosa lining the rest of the gut. thus the oral mucosa is located anatomically between skin and gastrointestinal mucosa (Nanci,2008). The oral mucosa can be divided into three main types: lining, masticatory and specialized (Mary and Margaret, 2011). Lining mucosa is a type of mucosa …show more content…
The regenerative capacity of tissues and organs in the body is fundamental to healthy ageing. Regeneration is dependent on the number and division rate of the proliferating (basal) cells, their genomic stability and their propensity for cell death (Shojaei, 1998; Squier and Kremer, 2001; Sarto et al., 1990; Holland , 2008). 1.3.2.1 Criteria for identifying and scoring cell types in the buccal micronucleus cytome assay The scoring criteria for the various distinct cell types and nuclear anomalies in the BMCyt assay are mainly based on those originally described by Tolbert et al (1992). These criteria classify buccal cells into categories that distinguish between normal cells and cells that are considered abnormal on the basis of nuclear and cytological features, which are indicative of DNA damage , cytokinetic failure or cell death. According to these criteria, cell types in the BMCyt assay classified …show more content…
It has recently been shown that chromosomal non-disjunction occurs with a higher frequency in binucleated cells that fail to complete cytokinesis , rather than in cells that have completed cytokinesis (Shi and king, 2005). The binucleate : mononucleate cell ratio may therefore prove to be an important biomarker for identifying individuals with a cytokinesis failure caused by higher-than-normal rates of aneuploidy , such as that observed in Down’s syndrome (Thomas et al.,2007;Thomas and
In vitro: Treatment of MM cells with SRT1720 inhibited growth and induced apoptosis in MM cells resistant to bortezomib therapy without significantly affecting the viability of normal cells. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that anti-MM activity of SRT1720 is associated with activation of caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, poly(ADP) ribose
During Mrs. Lacks' treatments, multiple samples were taken from her cervix without her knowledge. These samples were given to Dr. George Otto Gey, a physician and cancer researcher at Johns Hopkins. The collection of cells was nothing new to Dr. Gey, in fact he regularly collected cells for research from all
In the late 1940s, scientific research began taking off as innovative technologies and diseases were being created and discovered. One important field of study during the time was cancer. Like many types of new research, there were a few problems getting the ball on the roll. One problem scientists faced was obtaining cancerous cells that would stay long enough to study. One scientist struggled with this until a particularly unique strand of cells came along.

They also counsel each individual on how to maintain good oral hygiene and base their diet around their teeth. Some dentists may also make models and take measurements of oral appliances such as dentures and retainers. To become a dentist, you must obtain a Bachelor's degree and then enter a dental school.
Chronic periodontitis Chronic Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of the teeth caused by specific microorganisms or groups of specific microorganisms, leading to progressive destruction of the attachment apparatus of the teeth including periodontal ligament, cementum and alveolar bone with periodontal pocket formation, and recession of the gingival tissue(1) . The clinical feature that characterizes periodontitis from gingivitis is the presence of clinically apparent attachment loss. This loss mainly is associated with changes in the density and height of subjacent alveolar bone (1). Severe generalized periodontitis affects 5–15% of any population worldwide and is a major cause of teeth loss after dental caries (2). Chronic Periodontitis also known as adult periodontitis or chronic adult
The Integumentary Morgan Davison Due: February 23, 2018 Period 4th -------------------------------- -------------------------------- Have you ever heard the phrase “I’m all skin and bones.” Well, that's not true. We have many parts in our body than skin and bones, and today I will be talking about the integumentary system. The integumentary system organs are the skin, the hairs, the nails, and the glands.
So as to comprehend this diagnosis, I am going to paint you a picture of human throat structure. See the five chief throat parts below. Pharynx: A tube of muscle that is flanked by the mouth and nose passages.
Proctologist and Colorectal Surgeon – What is the Difference?

Herpes, or Herpes Simplex is a viral infectious disease that results in very dangerous and ridiculous skin infections. The cause of Herpes is the Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) and the infections are categorized on the basis of the body part infected by them. Herpes is of two basic types, namely Oral Herpes and Genital Herpes. Oral Herpes is the condition when the infection, in the form of blisters is over the face, inside the mouth, and over the scalp, while in case of Genital Herpes infections are over the genitals as well as on the buttocks. Herpes Simplex Virus is broadly divided into two types, namely Herpes Simplex Virus type-1 and Herpes Simplex Virus type-2 (more commonly referred to as HSV-1 and HSV-2).
a. The majority of the people diagnosed with Down Syndrome have it because of a faulty cell division called nondisjunction i. Nondisjunction happens with one of the pairs of the chromosomes fail to separate, resulting in the three 21 chromosomes ii. Total number of chromosomes equals 47 b. According to …. 3-4% of Children with Down Syndrome get it through gene translocation i. Gene translocation happens during cell division. This happens when part of the chromosome 21 breaks off and attaches to another
The alternatively activated43,22,55,59 M2 macrophage is anti-inflammatory44, and is characterised by a circular appearance30, low IL12 and IL23 with high IL10 as well as an increase in the expression of mannose and galactose receptors and the metabolism of arginine through arginase to ornithine and polyamine43,20,27,63,18. Arginase is known to help decrease lymphocyte proliferation1. M2 also have increased urea production, CD180, CD163, TREM2 and stabilin expression and decreased TNF-α, CD40 and CD86 expression27,29,30. M2 macrophages have various subtypes25,27,30,43,55,18,20,18. Subtype M2A is induced by Th2 responses, IL4 and IL13, M2B is induced by immune complexes and TLR and subtype M2C is induced by IL10, TGF-β and glucocorticoids25,30,55,20.

Laryngopharynx: the end of pharynx, when the air reaches laryngopharynx the air will be diverted to the larynx. Epiglottis: it is an elastic cartilage covered with a mucus membrane located at the entrance of larynx. Epiglottis has a very important function where it closes the trachea during eating so the food is not accidently inhaled. 4- Larynx: Larynx plays a dual function, first one is an air canal that connects laryngopharynx to the trachea, and secondly larynx is the source of sound where while talking the air pass through the vocal cords and
