Changes in cytokeratin expression during the development of the human oral mucosa.

The changes in cytokeratin expression by the developing oral mucosa of 10 to 23-week-old human fetuses were studied by indirect immunofluorescence using a panel of 15 monoclonal antibodies. The lining and masticatory mucosae were incompletely differentiated in 10-wk fetuses, since they expressed identical patterns of cytokeratins (CK 4, 5, 8, 13, 18, 19 and probably CK 14, 16, 17) very similar to that of adult alveolar mucosa. The main difference was the presence of cytokeratins 8, 18 and 19 in embryonic tissues. Cytokeratins 1, 2, 10 and 11 began to appear in gingival and hard palate epithelium from wk 11, predicting the differentiation of the masticatory mucosa by wk 16. The patterns of cytokeratin expression in the 23-wk fetus in the lining and masticatory mucosae appear to be different. In lining mucosa, the only difference from the 10th wk is a decrease in cytokeratins 8, 18 and 19, whereas the pattern of cytokeratin expression in masticatory mucosa (CK 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 13, 18, 19 and probably CK 14, 16 and 17) is now very near that of adult gingiva. This pattern appears, as in the adult, to be similar to that of the epidermis in the same period.

Characterization of cytokeratin patterns in the developing human tongue.

The characterization of cytokeratin (CK) in adult oral mucosa and developing teeth have been well documented in human. Cytokeratin distribution in developing oral mucosa has not yet been described. The aim of this study was to identify the expression of CK in human fetal tongue (week 10 to week 23) and to correlate the results with morphological maturation. Simple epithelial CK are expressed in all cell layers during the early stages, essentially in peridermal cells. From the 14th week, CK 18 is present only in the taste buds, making this polypeptide a reliable marker for this sensory organ. CK 4 and 13 are expressed from the 10th to the 23rd week by both ventral and dorsal lingual epithelia. Terminal differentiation keratins (CK 1, 2 and 10-11) can only be detected immunohistochemically at the 14th week in some cells on the external surface of some papillae. The number of these papillae and positive cells increase at the 19th and 23rd weeks. The terminal differentiation markers are expressed several weeks earlier than the formation of a well-distinguished keratinized layer.

Evolution of cytokeratin expression in developing human tooth germ.

Cytokeratin expression by the developing human enamel organ between the 10th and the 23rd gestational week was studied by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy technique using a panel of 15 monoclonal antibodies. The results showed that five antibodies (RKSE 60, Kk 8-60, EE 21-6, 6B10 and 1 C-7) were never reactive, that five antibodies (RCK 102, 42.39.13.1, Ks 19 and Pan 1-8) were always positive and that five antibodies (KB 37, RPN 11-62, Ks 13.1, Ks 8-12 and Ks 18.174) obtained or increased their positivity between weeks 12 and 13. It was concluded that a switch in cytokeratin expression occurred around the 12th-13th weeks. No further important change could be noticed after this period. So it is suggested that final cell differentiation was initiated at weeks 12-13.

[Herpetic manifestations: diagnosis, treatment, prevention].

Herpes virus infection is an extremely common disease that affects between 90 to 100% of the population above the age of 15. The authors propose studying successively the clinical and virological diagnosis of this infection, it's treatment, and finally it's prevention in the dental clinic where there is a large possibility of transmitting the infective diseases.

[Physiology of hemostasis].

After having remained the essential modalities leading haematologic anamnesis and clinical examination, first we describe, for each of the three haemostasis steps, the routine laboratory tests and secondly, a more specific schedule prescribed only after having found abnormalities in the first tests.
