Article Abstract
Purpose: To establish 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis images and compare the differences of serum proteins of oral lichen planus patients before and after hydroxychloroquine therapy.
Methods: The serum of oral lichen planus patients before and after hydroxychloroquine therapy were collected, and total protein were extracted. Differential proteome profiles were established and analysed by means of 2-DE and MALDI-TOF-MS. The types and functions of protein were analyzed. SAS 9.12 software package was used for statistical analysis.
Results: Six proteins were well characterized including plasminogen precursor,Apo A-IV precursor, C4A/C4B complement, C2 precursor, Vitamin D binding protein and hypothetical protein. The differences were statistically significant.
Conclusions: Plasminogen precursor, Apo A-IV precursor, C4A/C4B complement, C2 precursor, Vitamin D binding protein and hypothetical protein are differentially expressed in oral lichen planus patients before and after hydroxychloroquine therapy, but the results need to be validated by other biochemical technologies.

Are the dermatological cut-off values of commercially available ELISAs for BP180-NC16A appropriate when applied for diagnosis of oral mucous membrane pemphigoid?. Results of a preliminary study.

Background: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits for BP180-NC16A use different cutoff levels established for cutaneous bullous pemphigoid (BP). However, in oral mucous membrane pemphigoid (OMMP), circulating antibodies are reported to be less readily detectable than cutaneous BP and there is little evidence that these cut-off levels are suitable for OMMP. This study was performed to explore whether the available cutoff values of anti-BP180-NC16A ELISA used for cutaneous BP are equally effective when applied to OMMP or should benefit from an optimized cut-off value.

Previous studies have suggested potential associations between some dietary factors and oral mucosal lesions (OMLs), however, existing research could be biased due to limited sample size and unaccounted confounding factors. This study aimed to explore the causal relationships between 13 common dietary factors and 3 OMLs using 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Data for the MR analysis were extracted from publicly available genome-wide association study statistics.

Balance of the oral-intestinal axis microbiota is essential for maintaining oral mucosal health. The occurrence of oral disease is closely linked to the microbiota, this disorder is closely related to the pathogenesis of oral mucosal diseases, such as oral lichen planus, recurrent aphthous ulcer, oral candidiasis and squamous-cell carcinoma. As a microorganism that is beneficial to host health, probiotics can show multi-dimensional therapeutic effects in oral mucosal diseases by targeting and regulating the immune microenvironment of the oral mucosa, inhibiting the colonization of pathogenic bacteria and repairing the barrier function.

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown aetiology, which is an oral potentially malignant disorder. Many investigators suggest that OLP may be a localized autoimmune response caused by cell-mediated autoimmunity to basal cells. However, it remains unclear whether allergens play a role in the pathogenesis of OLP.

Background: This systematic review aims to analyze the effectiveness of the combination of herbal medicine and corticosteroids in oral lichen planus (OLP) management. By providing an updated insight into the medicinal properties of this combined treatment approach, the review seeks to address the current gap in the understanding of its therapeutic potential for this chronic premalignant disorder.
Materials And Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane Library, CNKI, and WanFang databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials comparing Chinese patent medicine (CPM) with corticosteroids and corticosteroids alone in treating OLP.
