“…A previous epidemiological study in Taiwan found the association between HPV infection and psoriasis onset. In this study, pSS patients were prominent for the risk of psoriasis through activation of T cells, as similar to the reported associations between bacterial (43)(44)(45)(46)(47) or viral (48) infections in other autoimmune diseases.…”

IntroductionViral infection is an exogeneous factor for primary Sjogren’s syndrome (pSS). This study investigated the association between human papillomavirus (HPV) infections and pSS through a nationwide population based cohort study.MethodsPatients with HPV infections between January, 1999 and December, 2013 were included. The incidence of new-onset pSS in patients with HPV infections and non-HPV controls were derived. The multiple Cox regression model derived the risk of pSS in patients with HPV infections. Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were performed to validate the association.ResultsDuring a follow-up period of 12 years, the adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of pSS in patients with HPV infections was significantly higher than that in non-HPV controls (aHR=1.64, 95% CI=1.47-1.83, P<0.001). The risk of pSS increased with age and the risk increased by 2.64-fold (95% CI= 2.37-2.93) for those older than 45 years. The significant association between HPV infections and the risk of pSS persisted in the sensitivity analysis restricted in HPV infections that lasted over 12 months (aHR=1.63, 95%CI=1.45-1.83, P<0.0001). Subgroup analyses revealed that both male (aHR=1.83, 95%CI=1.47-2.28, P<0.0001) and female (aHR=1.58, 95%CI=1.40-1.79, P<0.0001) patients with HPV infections and HPV-infected patients aged between 16 and 45 years (aHR=1.60, 95%CI=1.34-1.91, P<0.0001) and over 45 years (aHR=1.67, 95%CI=1.46-1.91, P<0.0001) were associated with a significantly greater risk of pSS.ConclusionPatients with HPV infections presented with a significantly higher risk of pSS, regardless of age and sex.

State-of-the-art adhesive technology for the development of enamel and dentin bonding agents has driven the paradigm shift in restorative dentistry. The ability to bond restorative or esthetic materials to substrates, including enamel and dentin, in a predict-able manner, is essential for determining whether a specific adhesive protocol is clinically acceptable [1,2]. Existing adhesive systems for restorative purposes are classified into the etch-and-rinse bonding systems and the self-etch systems, based on adhesive strategies to the dental substrates [1,2]. Originally designed as a three-step protocol, the etch-and-rinse strategy is applied with prior complete phosphoric acid etching of tooth substrates including both the enamel, where deep etch-pits in hydroxyapatite-rich substrates are produced, and the dentin, where a depth of a few micrometers is demineralized to expose collagen mesh without hydroxyapatite [1][2][3]. For the etchand-rinse system, inorganic acids are used to demineralize superficial dentin, which is followed by hybrid-layer formation with collagen fibrils exposed and then infiltrated by hydrophilic monomers [1,3,4].Modified from the original and the standard two-step self-etch-J Prosthodont Res. 2022; **(**): ****-****

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) as one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Full-body skin exam and biopsy is the gold standard for cSCC diagnosis, but it is not always feasible given constraints on time and costs. Furthermore, biopsy fails to reflect the dynamic changes in tumor genomes, which challenges long-term medical treatment in patients with advanced diseases. Extracellular vesicle (EV) is an emerging biological entity in oncology with versatile clinical applications from screening to treatment. In this systematic review, pre-clinical and clinical studies on cSCC-derived EVs were summarized. Seven studies on the genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics of cSCC-derived EVs were identified. The contents in cSCC-derived EVs may reflect the mutational landscape of the original cancer cells or be selectively enriched in EVs. Desmoglein 2 protein (Dsg2) is an important molecule in the biogenesis of cSCC-derived EVs. Ct-SLCO1B3 mRNA, and CYP24A1 circular RNA (circRNA) are enriched in cSCC-derived EVs, suggesting potentials in cSCC screening and diagnosis. p38 inhibited cSCC-associated long intergenic non-coding RNA (linc-PICSAR) and Dsg2 involved in EV-mediated tumor invasion and drug resistance served as prognostic and therapeutic predictors. We also proposed future directions to devise EV-based cSCC treatment based on these molecules and preliminary studies in other cancers.
