Abstract
BACKGROUND Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the oral cavity that affects many patients' daily living activities. Topical corticosteroids are the first-line drug for treating OLP. The Oral Impact on Daily Performances index (OIDP) is an Oral-Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) measure developed to assess the ultimate impacts. The aims of this study were to evaluate the clinical, pain and OHRQoL responses after treating OLP patients with topical corticosteroids for 1 month, and secondly to assess the relationships of changes in the clinical sign score, pain score, and OHRQoL. METHODS Seventy-two OLP patients were treated by topical corticosteroids based on their dentists' clinical judgments. Clinical and patient-based outcomes were assessed at baseline and follow-up visit. The clinical outcomes were evaluated by the highest and total Thongprasom sign score. Patient-based outcomes were evaluated by numeric rating scale (NRS) and OIDP. The self-rated overall changes in quality of life during the 1-month treatment period using the Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) were also recorded at the follow-up visit. RESULTS This study comprised 59 women and 13 men. All clinical and patient-based outcomes were significantly reduced after 1-month treatment with topical corticosteroids (P < 0.01). The most commonly affected activities were Emotional stability, followed by Eating and Cleaning the oral cavity. Forty-six percent reported the same or up to moderately improved, while 54% had a greatly improved quality of life as assessed by PGIC. There were no significant differences in the improvement of clinical and patient-based outcomes between these groups. There were significant relationships between the differences in the highest Thongprasom sign score and the differences in total Thongprasom sign score (r = 0.293; P < 0.05), and the differences in total OIDP percentage score and the difference in pain score (r = 0.427; P < 0.001). The differences in the total Thongprasom sign score also significantly related to the difference in the total OIDP percentage score (r = 0.335; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Topical corticosteroids were significantly effective after 1-month treatment of OLP based on the clinical and patient-based outcomes. The OHRQoL improvement was significantly related to the reductions in pain and clinical severity. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered at the Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR identifier: TCTR 20221110001).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients' perceptions and Oral Health-related Quality of life (OHRQoL) are important parts of dental treatment in all fields, including oral lichen planus (OLP) patients. A shortened version of the Oral Impact on Daily Performances (OIDP) might be more practical and feasible in clinical setting due to the busy nature of oral medicine clinics and staff availability to conduct the interview for data collection. The aim of the study was to develop a Thai version of shortened OIDP for assessing the OHRQoL in OLP patients. METHODS Two types of shortened OIDP versions were tested in 69 OLP patients, one comprising the most commonly interfered with daily performances (OIDP-3 and OIDP-2) and another comprising either the highest frequency (OIDP frequency) or severity score (OIDP severity). The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and Thongprasom sign score were used to assess oral pain and clinical severity. Spearman rank-order correlation coefficients (rs) were used to demonstrate the associations between the shortened and original OIDP, pain, and clinical severity. RESULTS OIDP-3 (Eating, Cleaning, and Emotional stability) and OIDP-2 (Eating and Emotional stability) were developed. The associations of the original OIDP with OIDP-3 and OIDP-2 (rs = 0.965 and 0.911) were significantly higher than those of the original OIDP with OIDP frequency and OIDP severity (rs = 0.768 and 0.880). The original OIDP, OIDP-3, and OIDP-2 were more significantly associated with pain compared with OIDP frequency and OIDP severity. The association between the clinical severity and oral impacts assessed by the original OIDP, OIDP-3, and OIDP-2 were similar and had higher correlation coefficients compared with those of OIDP frequency and OIDP severity. CONCLUSION OIDP-3 and OIDP-2 performed more similarly to the original OIDP than OIDP frequency and OIDP severity in assessing the OHRQoL of OLP patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered at the Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR identifier: TCTR 20190828002).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of trehalose oral spray to relieve radiation-induced xerostomia on a randomized controlled trial (RCT). METHODS Prior to RCT, the effect of trehalose (5-20%) on the epithelial growth of fetal mouse salivary gland (SG) explants was evaluated to confirm if 10% trehalose exerted the best epithelial outcomes. Participants who completed radiotherapy for head and neck cancer (HNC) treatment were enrolled in a double-blind RCT, according to inclusion and exclusion criteria as per the CONSORT statement. The experimental group (n = 35) received 10% trehalose spray, while the control group (n = 35) received carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) spray to apply intra-orally 4 times/day for 14 days. Salivary pH and unstimulated salivary flow rate were recorded pre- and post-interventions. The Xerostomia-related Quality of Life scale (XeQoLs) was filled, and scores assessed post-interventions. RESULTS In the SG explant model, pro-acinar epithelial growth and mitosis was supported by 10% topical trehalose. As for RCT outcomes, salivary pH and unstimulated salivary flow rate were significantly improved after use of 10% trehalose spray when compared to CMC (p < 0.05). Participants reported an improvement of XeQoLs dimension scores after using trehalose or CMC oral sprays in terms of physical, pain/discomfort, and psychological dimensions (p < 0.05), but not social (p > 0.05). When comparing between CMC and trehalose sprays, XeQoLs total scores were not statistically different (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The 10% trehalose spray improved salivary pH, unstimulated salivary flow rate, and the quality-of-life dimensions linked with physical, pain/discomfort, and psychological signs. The clinical efficacy of 10% trehalose spray was equivalent with CMC-based saliva substitutes for relieving radiation-induced xerostomia; therefore, trehalose may be suggested in alternative to CMC-based oral spray.(Thai Clinical Trials Registry; https://www.thaiclinicaltrials.org/ TCTR20190817004).

Abstract
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory mucosal disease that cell-mediated immunological mechanisms are involved in pathogenesis. The objective of this study was to investigate the expression of CD44 isoforms including CD44s, CD44v5, and CD44v6 in biopsy specimens and saliva from OLP patients. Thirty-one OLP patients and 30 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. Immunohistochemical methods were used to detect the expression of CD44 isoforms in oral epithelia, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to measure levels of salivary CD44 isoforms. Our results demonstrated that expression of CD44v6 in oral epithelia from OLP patients was significantly decreased in comparison to controls (p = 0.021). Levels of salivary CD44s and CD44v5 from OLP patients were significantly higher than those from controls (p = 0.007 and p = 0.002, respectively). In summary, our findings provided additional evidence that the pathological stress, such as chronic inflammation, altered the expression of CD44 isoforms in oral epithelia and saliva of OLP patients.
