BACKGROUND:Amniotic cells are mainly composed of amniotic epithelial cells and amniotic mesenchymal cells, which have multi-differentiation potential and can be transformed into neurons as wel as synthesize and release biological y active substances and neurotrophic factors. In preliminary studies, amniotic cells that are transplanted into the brain can significantly promote the regeneration of brain neurons. OBJECTIVE:To explore the role of amniotic cells in mouse brain cells after ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:The model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was established in Babl/c mice using occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries, and then brain cells were separated from mice. Amniotic cells were isolated from mouse placenta. Brain cells from Balb/C mice co-cultured with amniotic cells served as experimental group, and brain cells cultured with PBS as control group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The viability of brain cells in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). There was no difference in necrotic rate of brain cells between the experimental and control groups after 24 and 72 hours co-culture (P>0.05);after 48 hours co-culture, however, the necrotic rate of brain cells was significantly lower in the experimental group than the control group (P<0.05). In cellcycle, the experiment group showed increased S phase cells;while, the control group exhibited increased G 1 phase cells and decreased S phase cells. G 2 phase cells had no changes in number in both two groups. Through the above results, amnion cells can be proved to protect and promote the regeneration of brain cells of Balb/C mice with ischemia-reperfusion injury, and inhibit cellnecrosis and apoptosis.

OBJECTIVETo compare the effect of different types and concentrations of sweet solutions on neonatal pain during heel lance procedure.
METHODTotally 560 full term neonates (male 295, female 265) were randomized into 7 groups:placebo group (plain water), 10% glucose, 25% glucose, 50% glucose, 12% sucrose, 24% sucrose and 30% sucrose groups.In each group, 2 ml corresponding oral solutions were administered through a syringe by dripping into the neonate's mouth 2 minute before heel lance. The procedure process was recorded by videos, from which to collect heart rate, oxygen saturation and pain score 1 min before puncture, 3, 5 and 10 min after puncture.
RESULTThe average heart rate increase 3, 5 and 10 min after procedure in the 25% and 50% glucose groups, 12% and 24% and 30% sucrose groups was significantly lower than those in the placebo group (P < 0.01 or 0.05). The average heart rate increase 3 min after procedure in the sucrose group was lower than that in the glucose group (P < 0.01).Neonates who received 30% sucrose has a significantly lower average heart rate increase than those who received 12% and 24% sucrose 3 min after heel lance (both P < 0.05) . The average oxygen saturation decrease 3, 5, 10 min after procedure was significantly lower than those in the placebo group (P < 0.01). The average oxygen saturation decrease 3 min after procedure in the sucrose groups was significantly lower than that in the glucose groups (P < 0.01). The average pain score 3, 5, 10 min after procedure was significantly lower than those in the placebo group (P < 0.01). The average pain score 3 min after procedure in the sucrose groups was significantly lower than that in the glucose groups (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONOral administration of sweet solutions is an effective way to relieve neonatal pain on procedure, and sucrose has a better pain relief action than glucose, moreover, 30% sucrose provides better effect in control of heart rate increase 3 min after heel lance, but the best concentration of sucrose for pain relief needs further study.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the risk factors for malignant transformation of oral leukoplakia.
METHODSA total of 409 cases with oral leukoplakia was retrospectively analyzed. Single factor test was first performed to examine the associations between oral leukoplakia's histopathological classification and each of risk factors including sex, age, systemic diseases, course of disease, clinical classification, site, size, numbers of lesion, alcohol and tobacco consumption, and symptom. Then the association of these selected factors with oral leukoplakia's histopathological classification was evaluated using multiple logistic regression analysis.
RESULTSFifty-two cases of all 409 patients with oral leukoplakia (including 9 severe dysplasia) developed oral cancer. The ratio of malignant transformation was 12.7%. Sex, age, clinical type, site and symptom were chosen as risk factors incorporated into the multiple logistic regression models. The risk of mild-moderate dysplasia in female was 2.40 times as high as that in male. The risk of mild-moderate dysplasia of speckled leukoplakia was 2.81 times as high as that of homogeneous leukoplakia. The risk of mild-moderate dysplasia of dangerous site was 1. 98 times as high as that non-dangerous site. The risk of mild-moderate dysplasia with symptom was 1.84 times as high as that without symptom. The risk of severe dysplasia and oral cancer in female was 3.11 times as high as that in male. The risk of severe dysplasia and oral cancer of speckled (4.50 times), ulcerative (5.63 times), verrucous leukoplakia (4.09 times) were much higher than that of homogeneous leukoplakia. The risk of severe dysplasia and oral cancer in dangerous site was 2.79 times as high as in non-dangerous site. The risk of severe dysplasia and oral cancer in leukoplakia with symptom was 4.38 times as high as without symptom.
CONCLUSIONSThe malignant transformation of oral leukoplakia is correlated to sex, clinical type, site and symptom.
