title: [Construction and application of the tissue bank and database of oral mucosa precancerous lesions in the Yangtze delta].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To construct a database and a tissue bank of oral mucosa precancerous lesions and to estimate the application values.
  
  
  METHODS
  Patients in the Yangtze delta suffering oral mucosa precancerous lesions were enrolled into this study. The patients' clinical data and samples of oral precancerous mucosa, salivary and blood were collected to create a tissue bank, based on which a database was constructed using Microsoft Access software, Brower/Server structure and ASP language.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The tissue bank and database of oral mucosa precancerous lesions were successfully built. The procedure to harvest, store and transport the samples had been standardized. The database showed good interactive interface, convenient for data collection, query and share in the internet.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We constructed the tissue bank and database of oral mucosa precancerous lesions for the first time, which not only help preserve the biological resource of oral mucosa precancerous lesions, but also provide enormous convenience in clinical work, researching and teaching. Supported by Research Fund of Science and Technology Committee of Shanghai Municipality (08ZR1416700).
