Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of 2α, 3α, 24-thrihydroxyurs-12-en-24-ursolic acid (TEOA) alone or in combination with cisplatin on oral cancer. TEOA, a pentacyclic triterpenoid compound isolated from the roots of Actinidia eriantha, has demonstrated antitumor activity in preclinical experiments. However, its role in oral cancer remains poorly understood. Our findings revealed that a low concentration of TEOA did not exhibit significant cytotoxicity against oral squamous cell carcinoma cells. However, when combined with cisplatin, TEOA showed a significant therapeutic effect. The combined treatments resulted in a significant inhibition of proliferation and migration and a significant increase in apoptosis of squamous cell carcinoma cells. Cisplatin exposure increased autophagy levels, which may contribute to chemoresistance. Of note, the presence of TEOA significantly inhibited cisplatin-induced autophagy, leading to improved chemotherapy efficacy. Our findings indicate that a mild low dosage of TEOA may enhance the cytotoxic effect of cisplatin by downregulating autophagy in oral cancer cells.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a malignant tumor occurring in the oral cavity. However, the molecular mechanism of OSCC is not clear. Bioinformatics was used to screen and identify role of collagen type X1 alpha 1 (COL11A1) on OSCC. 200 patients with OSCC were recruited. Clinical and follow-up data were recorded and COL11A1 expression levels were tested. Pearson chi-square test and Spearman correlation coefficient were used to analyze relationship between prognosis and related parameters in patients with OSCC. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression, univariate and multivariate Cox proportional risk regression were used for further analysis, survival curve was drawn. Through bioinformatics analysis, OSCC patients with higher expression of COL11A1 have poor overall survival compare with OSCC patients with lower expression of COL11A1 (hazard ratios [HR] = 1.32, P = .047). Pearson chi-square test showed that age (P = .011), tumor grade (P = .023), COL11A1 (P < .001) was significantly correlated with prognosis of OSCC. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed age (odds ratio [OR] = 2.102, 95% confidence intervals [95%CI]: 1.180-3.746, P = .012), tumor grade (OR = 1.919, 95%CI: 1.093-3.372, P = .023) and COL11A1 (OR = 12.775, 95%CI: 6.509-25.071, P < .001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that COL11A1 (OR = 12.066, 95%CI: 6.042-24.096, P < .001) was significantly associated with prognosis of patients with OSCC. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that age (HR = 1.592, 95%CI: 1.150-2.205, P = .005), tumor grade (HR = 1.460, 95%CI: 1.067-1.999, P = .018) and COL11A1 (HR = 1.848, 95%CI: 1.340-2.548, P < .001) were significantly correlated with survival time of OSCC patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that tumor grade (HR = 1.466, 95%CI: 1.064-2.020, P = .019) and COL11A1 (HR = 1.645, 95%CI: 1.164-2.325, P = .005) were significantly correlated with survival time of OSCC patients. COL11A1 is significantly correlated with occurrence of OSCC. When COL11A1 is highly expressed, prognosis of patients with OSCC is worse and the survival time is shorter.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Oral cancer is the eighth most common type of cancer worldwide and a significant contributor to the global burden caused by this disease. The principal parameters considered to influence prognosis, and thus treatment selection, are size and location of the primary tumor, as well as assessment of the presence and extent of lymph node and distant metastasis (DM). However, no known report regarding the relationship between the primary site and DM has been presented. For effective treatment selection and good prognosis, the correlation of DM with anatomic site and histopathology results of the primary malignancy is important. In the present study, we performed a systematic review of published reports in an effort to determine the relationship between the anatomic site of various types of oral cavity cancer and DM. METHODS A systematic review of articles published until the end of 2018 was performed using PubMed/MEDLINE. RESULTS A total of 150 studies were selected for this review. The percentage of all cases reported with DM was 6.3%, ranging from 0.6% to 33.1% in the individual studies. The rate of incidence of tongue occurrence was 9.3%. A frequent DM site was the lungs, with adenoid cystic carcinoma the most commonly involved histopathological factor. Malignant melanoma was most frequent (43.4%) in all histopathology findings, whereas there were no cases with an acinic cell carcinoma or cystadenocarcinoma. CONCLUSIONS We found that the occurrence of DM from the primary site as well as rate of incidence was dependent on histopathological factors.
