“…Lichenoid lesions of BM were clinically classified into reticular and erosive types, based on Axell's classification. 10 Biopsy specimens of the BM were obtained from lichenoid lesions in 15 of the patients. The biopsy of the LSG was performed as described by Greenspan et al 1 Heparinized peripheral blood samples were also obtained from 15 patients at the time of biopsy.…”

Chronic GVHD (cGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic SCT (HSCT) is characterized by an infiltration of T cells into target organs including the oral mucosa and salivary glands. This study was designed to clarify the molecular mechanism of the local accumulation of pathogenic T cells in cGVHD. The expression of cytokines, chemokines and chemokine receptors in the buccal mucosa (BM), labial salivary glands (LSG) and PBMC from 16 patients with cGVHD after allogeneic HSCT was examined. The mRNA expression of T helper 1 (Th1) and Th2 cytokines, and several chemokines and chemokine receptors was significantly increased in the BM and LSG from cGVHD patients, in comparison with both those in the BM and LSG from controls, respectively, and also with those in the PBMC from cGVHD patients. Furthermore, the mRNA expression of Th2 cytokines, macrophage-derived chemokine and CC chemokine receptor 4 was closely associated with a strong T-cell infiltration in the BM and LSG from cGVHD patients. These results suggest that cGVHD might be initiated and/or maintained by Th1/Th0 cells and thereafter progresses in association with Th2 cell accumulation via the interaction of particular chemokine and chemokine receptors.

“…Axell and Rundquist indicated that snuff users revealed a slightly higher prevalence of lichen planus than tobacco smokers. [15] However, Mani observed no relationship between lichen planus and oral tobacco habits. [16] Lichen planus in tobacco and betel users should not be ignored, even though malignant transformation potential of this lesion remains somewhat uncertain, because tobacco habits can influence the natural history of oral lichen planus.…”

Background: The oral mucosa acts as a protective barrier against pathogens, and carcinoma causing agents. It can be affected by different lesions and conditions, few of which are harmless, while some may have harmful complications. Objective: To study the prevalence of oral mucosal variants & Lesions among tobacco users in North Indian population. Methods: A total of 640 subjects consisting of 492 males and 148 females reporting to the outpatient Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology were selected. The subjects were divided into two groups. The first group was control group with subjects not having tobacco chewing habit consisting of 320 subjects including 246 males and 74 females. Another group included tobacco with same no of subjects as that of control group. All subjects were examined for presence of oral mucosal variants in accordance with the WHO acknowledged coloured atlas, clinical examination and history. Results: Prevalence of oral mucosal variants was found to be 75.0% among tobacco chewers. Males were more affected (70.0%) than the females. The maximum no of cases reported were in the age group of 20-40 years. Leukoplakia was the most common oral mucosal lesion among tobacco chewers. Conclusion: Tobacco chewing can be considered to be a concerned habit and necessary public health programmes should be taken to eradicate this habit.
