“…There is a well-recognised property of amniotic membrane to relieve pain when it is used as skin substitute, relieving of pain is due to decreased inflammation, better stat hydration of wound bed & prevention of the exposed nerve endings from external agents which causes pain [18][19][20][21] . Similar result also observed in this study.…”

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.

“…Pain relieving effect is one of the well-recognized properties of AM when used as a skin substitute. It is possibly due to decreased inflammation, better state of hydration of wound bed and protection of the exposed nerve endings from external irritants [22][23][24]. A healthy granulation tissue appeared significantly earlier in Amnion treated patients when compared to Collagen group.…”

This review focuses on the probable anti-cancer mechanisms of human amniotic membrane (AM) that may be very helpful for ongoing cancer research activities with AM. A thorough search was conducted on PubMed for any published literature on the anti-cancer role of human AM using the key words, e.g., AM, function of AM, angiogenesis prevention, apoptosis induction by AM. No particular exclusion criteria were set. We selected resources from 1960 to 2018 with special focus on articles published during the last 7 years that revealed information regarding AM-derived factors and their specific functions to prevent cancer. Many studies suggest that human AM-derived epithelial stem cells (AM-hAECs) and mesenchymal stem cells (AM-hMSCs) secrete various factors, e.g., thrombospondin (TSP), tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase (TIMP), plasminogen activator inhibitors (PAI), IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL1RN), granulocyte monocyte-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), cytokines specially IL-6 and IL-10, various essential markers, and proteins which most predominantly increase the AM's anti-cancer activity. This work gives an overview of the latest findings on AM function and evaluates its potential use in cancer treatment. Though various researches are being performed now on the anti-neoplastic properties of AM, the mechanism of these effects is not clear yet. Therefore, it has a great demand to unveil the mood of action of AM as to exert anti-cancer activity. From the meta-analysis of previous data, this review has pointed out an anti-cancer mechanism of AM that would help to use it as an anti-cancer therapy.
