Objective: The aim of this study was to find out the effectiveness of amniotic membrane graft dressing in the treatment of superficial partial thickness burn in children. Methods: The retrospective study was conducted on the patients admitted with superficial partial thickness burn in the burn unit of Dhaka Shishu Hospital age 0-12 years, during the period from January 1999 to December 2011. All of them treated with amnion membrane graft dressing. Results: Total 370 patients were included in this study. Mean age was 2.76 years. Amnion dressing suppresses bacteria in the wound as well as reduced infection. Amnions have good adherent characteristics, which reduced infection as well as reduction of oozing of plasma from the wound, that become dry early. It has a role on burnt pain reduction, Frequency of dressing change, rate of healing, cost, duration hospital stay. Conclusion: Our experience showed that amniotic membrane is one of the effective biological skin substitutes used in burn wounds, with efficacy of low bacterial counts, has advantageous of reducing protein loss, electrolytes & fluids. Decreasing the risk of infection minimizing pain, accelerate of wound healing and good handling properties. It is ready available does not present immunological problem and allergies response. It is cost effective and very helpful for developing countries. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/cmoshmcj.v14i1.22875 Chatt Maa Shi Hosp Med Coll J; Vol.14 (1); Jan 2015; Page 22-25

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a cost-effective treatment for osteoarthritis (OA), and osteolysis is a common complication of THA. This study was aimed at exploring the relevant molecular biomarkers for osteolysis after THA. We performed RNA sequence to identify and characterize expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs in OA and osteolysis. Differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) and lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) in OA and osteolysis were acquired, as well as shared DEmRNAs/DElncRNAs in OA and osteolysis and osteolysis-specific DEmRNAs/DElncRNAs. Then, shared and osteolysis-specific DElncRNA-DEmRNA coexpression networks were constructed to further investigate the function of DElncRNAs and DEmRNAs in OA and osteolysis. In total, 343 DEmRNAs and 25 DElncRNAs in OA, 908 DEmRNAs and 107 DElncRNAs in osteolysis, and 406 DEmRNAs and 46 DElncRNAs between OA and osteolysis were acquired. A total of 136 shared DEmRNAs and 9 shared DElncRNAs in OA and osteolysis and 736 osteolysis-specific DEmRNAs and 103 osteolysis-specific DElncRNAs were acquired. Then, 128 shared DElncRNA-DEmRNA coexpression pairs and 522 osteolysis-specific DElncRNA-DEmRNA coexpression pairs were identified. The present study highlighted the roles of four interaction pairs, including two shared lncRNA-mRNA interaction pairs in OA and osteolysis (AC111000.4 and AC016831.6), which may function in the immune process of OA and osteolysis by regulating CD8A and CD8B, respectively, and two osteolysis-specific interaction pairs (AC090607.4-FOXO3 and TAL1-ABALON), which may play an important role in osteoclastogenesis.
