Abstract:
Lip cancer is the most common malignant lesion of the oral cavity. Most of the tumors have been presented in the lower lip as a SCC, whereas the upper lip SCC is rare. Surgical excision with negative margins is the mainstay of treatment for lip SCC. The author presents a patient with the upper lip SCC treated by wedge surgical excision. Primary reconstruction of the large upper lip defects can be successfully used in appropriately selected patients.

A wedge is a simple machine that serves various purposes, such as adjusting the elevation of structural or mechanical parts, providing stability for heavy objects, and splitting a body into two parts. This versatile tool can amplify an applied force, making it easier to manipulate large or heavy objects.
Consider using a wedge to lift a heavy slab. Here, the wedge functions by converting the applied force into a much larger force directed almost perpendicular to the initial force. This...

Base Excision Repair
25.8K
One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.
