An analytical study of microvessel density in oral lichen planus
Objective:To detect the microvessel density(MVD) in tissue of normal buccal mucosa
erosive and non-erosive oral lichen planus and buccal cancer;to observe the microvessel density changes in order to further explore the pathogenesis of oral lichen planus and provide reference treatment.Methods:A total of 40 cases of newly diagnosed patients were selected from December 2008 to March 2010 in the affiliated hospital of stomatology
Chongqing medical university
including 10 cases of erosive OLP
10 cases of non-erosive OLP and 10 cases of buccal cancer
and 10 cases of buccal injury wound tissue collected as a normal buccal mucosa specimens.Tissue sections were performed by using vascular endothelial cell markers CD34
S-P immunohistochemistry.The microvessel density was measured under the optical microscope
with SPSS software for statistical analysis.Results:The MVD data for buccal cancer
erosive OLP
non-erosive OLP
and normal buccal mucosa were 36.825 0±7.048 5
27.700 0±6.183 3
16.600 0±5.111 5
and 7.350 0±1.472 9 respectively;by rank sum test
the difference of MVD between the erosive OLP and normal buccal mucosa
buccal cancer and normal buccal mucosa
buccal cancer and non-erosive OLP groups had statistical significance(P <0.05).Conclusion:The MVD of erosive OLP and buccal cancer is much higher than that of normal oral buccal mucosa;there’s no significant difference in MVD between the erosive and non-erosive OLP;the microvessel density and the severity of OLP tissue are significantly correlated
which could be considered as an evaluating index for the treatment and prognosis of OLP
