Abstract In order to supply allografts for reconstruction of finger, repair of tendon or tendon sheath, the hands from fresh cadavers of healthy young persons who died from accident were amputated at the wristlevel. After disinfected, packed and labelled, the hands were stored into a deep freezer at -30℃ as bank storage. Before grafting, the skin and subcutaneoustissue were stripped from the frozen finger. Then it was immersed in an antibiotic fluid for 1 hour. The results showed that the immunological antigenicity of allograft was decreased by the freezing method. Bony union between the impacted host bone and the allogeneic phalangeal bone was seen on X-ray films. Bone absorption and joint degeneration were found at the area where no impaction between bones. The healing between tendons from host and that from the allografts was b. It was concluded that establishing a cadaveric hand bank in hospital was as important as establishing a bone bank for the supply of bone, joint, tendon, tendon sheath and finger composite tissue, for allogeneic grafts.
Objective To observe the enzymic histochemical and ultrastructral changes of cryopreserved human retina. Methods To compare the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)， succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and ATPase in cryopreserved retina with those in fresh retina and to observe the histological and ultrastructural changes of cryopreserved retina. Results There was no statistical difference between the activity of LDH，SDH and ATPase in fresh and in cryopreserved retina. Histologically, in the cryopreserved retina, fluid in neural fiber and outer plexiform layers, as well as in cone and rod layer, was sligthly more than normal. The ultrastructure is normal except that the mitochondria was swollen in different degree. Conclusion Cryopreservation may be an effective method for keeping the retinal cells alive for a long period and might free the transplantation from dependance on aviability of fresh dornor tissue.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of preservation of arteriesby vitrification and the effectiveness of vitrified arteries as allografts. Methods Sixty rabbits were used in the research. Forty-eight femoral arteries wereharvested from 24 rabbits as the transplanted materials，and 24 femoral arteries were preserved by vitrification, 24 by freezing for 14 days，respectively. Theother 36 rabbits were used as the transplanted subjects，and were divided into three groups， 12 rabbits including 24 femoral arteries per group: Group A(fresharterial autografts), Group B(vitrified arterial allografts) and Group C(frozen arterial allografts). The morphologic changes of arterial grafts were observed macroscopically and histologically. The patent rate of arterial grafts were measured by angiography, and the rabbits were sacrificed on the 14th day, the 30th day, the 60th day and the 120th day after transplantation respectively. Arterial grafts were harvested to observe the morphological changes，and the immunological rejection was evaluated by measuring the ratio of tunica intima and tunica media. The results were compared between these groups. Results Before transplantation，theintegrated rate of Group B was 91.67%，which was significantly better than that of Group C（54.17%, Plt;0.01）. After transplantation, the accumulative patent rate of Group B was 87.50%，which was significantly better than that of Group C（66.67%, Plt;0.05）. There was statistically significant difference in the ratioof tunica intima and tunica media between Group B and Groups A, C（Plt;0.05）.Conclusion The above results show that vitrification does less damage to cells and tissues because of ice-free in the process of cryopreservation. So vitrification can be used to preserve arteries， and the arterial allografts preserved by vitrification are better than those preserved by freezing.
ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) after deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA), to explore the risk factors and prognosis of postoperative AKI, and to establish a relatively accurate preoperative risk assessment strategy and prevention measures.MethodsThe clinical data of 252 patients who underwent deep hypothermic circulatory surgery in our hospital from January 2014 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 179 males and 73 females with an average age of 53.6±11.6 years. The patients were divided into an AKI group and a non-AKI group according to the AKI diagnostic criteria developed by kidney disease improving global outcomes (KDIGO). The data of the two groups were compared, and the risk factors related to AKI after DHCA were analyzed by single factor and multivariate logistic regression.ResultsAmong the 252 patients enrolled, the incidence of AKI was 69.0%. The postoperative hospital mortality rate was 7.9% (20/252). The univariate analysis showed that the patient's age and body mass index (BMI)≥28 kg/m2, left ventricular ejection fraction<55%, preoperative serum creatinine (Scr)≥110 μmol/L, preoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), Cleveland score and intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass time, intraoperative infusion of red blood cells, intraoperative infusion of plasma, postoperative mechanical ventilation time≥40 h and other indicators were significantly different between the two groups (P<0.05); multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that there was significant difference between the two groups in age (OR=1.040, 95% CI 1.017–1.064, P=0.001), BMI≥28 kg/m2 (OR=2.335, 95%CI 1.093–4.990, P=0.029), eGFR<90 mL/(min·1.73 m2) (OR=2.044, 95%CI 1.082–3.863, P=0.028), preoperative Cleveland score (OR=1.300, 95%CI 1.054–1.604, P=0.014) and intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass time (OR=1.009, 95%CI 1.002–1.017, P=0.014).ConclusionThe incidence of AKI is higher after DHCA. Patients with postoperative AKI have longer hospital stay and higher risk of hospitalization death. The age of patients, BMI≥28 kg/m2, eGFR<90 mL/(min·1.73) m2, Cleveland score, intraoperative extracorporeal circulation time are independent risk factors for AKI after DHCA.
Objective To compare the changes between deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) with deep hypothermic low flow (DHLF) cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on pulmonary surfactant (PS) activity in infants with congenital heart disease. Methods Twenty infants with ventricular septum defect and pulmonary hypertension were assigned to either DHCA group or DHLF group according to the CPB methods respectively. Measurements of saturated phosphatidylcholine /total phospholipids (SatPC /TPL), saturated phosphatidylcholine/ total protein (SatPC/TP) and static pulmonary compliance were performed before institution of CPB, 5 minutes after cessation of CPB and 2 hours. Results The length of ICU stay in DHLA group was significantly longer ( P lt;0 05) than that in DHCA group. SatPC/TPL, SatPC/TP and static pulmonary compliance in DHLF group were significantly lower compared with DHCA group ( P lt;0.01). Conclusion DHLF could lower the PS activity level significantly as compared with DHCA in infants with congenital heart disease.
Objective To evaluate which is better method zymogen or low temperature frozen in removing vascular endothelial cell so as to lay a foundation for creating a kind of brace which is not to be rejected and the same as own blood vessel. Methods Fresh and not damaged umbilical blood vessel was collected from natural labour women, human umbilical blood vessel was remove carefully from normal foetus, then was put into disinfectant at 37℃ for 24 hours. They were divided into 3 groups:normal group(NG),zymogen group(ZG) and low temperature frozen group(LG). ZG: 0.1% collagenⅡ enzyme was addedin umbilical blood vessel and closed the both sides and the vascular endothelialcell was removed in 37℃ water. LG:Umbilical blood vessel was put into liquidnitrogen for 24 hours after frozened step by step, and then it was put into 37℃ water for 30-60 s and the vascular endothelial cells were washed away by normal saline. NG:Umbilical blood vessel was kept into 4℃ Kerb’s liquid. The bacteria were culturedin each group. The samples were stained by HE,elastic fiber and collagen fiberwere observed by light and scanning electron microscope. The difference of compliance was compared. Human leukocyte antigen ABC(HLA-ABC) and HLA-DR were observed by immunohistochemical method and the expression of antigen of umbilical blood vessel was analysed. Results In LG, umbilical vascular endothelial cells were removed completely; artery showed vertical smooth muscle and vein showed elastic membrane. InZG, umbilical vascular endothelial cells were removed completely after 20 minutes;artery showed vertical smooth muscle cells and vein showed lower endothelial layer. The vascular compliance in LG was higher than that in NG, and the latter was also higher than that in ZG,but showing no significant differences (Pgt;0.05). The compliance of umbilical vein was 2-3 times as much asthat of umbilical artery.The expression of HLA-ABC and HLA-DR in LG andZG were lower than that in NG, showing significant differences (Plt;0.01). Conclusion Low temperature frozen methodand zymogen method(0.1% collagen Ⅱ enzyme for 20 min) can remove vascular endothelial cells of human umbilical blood vessel completely.Low temperature frozenmethod was better than zymogen method.
Objective To establ ish an animal model of osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) l ike human. Methods Ten healthy adult three-leg Beagle male dogs weighing (16.0 ± 1.6) kg were conducted as the animal model of ONFH according to the schedule of cryosurgery designed in advance in which l iquid nitrogen, pressurized to 0.5 MPa, was poured into the femoral head for 16.5 minutes. After rewarmed to 0℃ for 10 minutes, the l iquid nitrogen was repoured into the femoral head for another 16.5 minutes. At the end of the follow-up, the results were reviewed by pathologic check. One dog was conducted as control group. Results The first boundary temperature of (—27.9 ± 4.3)℃ was higher than the second boundary temperature (— 31.3 ± 4.7)℃ by —3.4℃ , and there was significant difference (P lt; 0.01). The diameter of the femoral head of (17.7 ± 1.1) mm was l inearly (^ y= — 2.6 － 2.409 x) correlated to boundary temperature by Pearson analysis, and the R rate was —0.977 (Plt; 0.05). Four dogs in experimental group progressed to collapse of the femoral head l ike human in the 6th month after operation. The rate of the femoral head collapse rose to 44.4%. In the control group, osteonecrosis was never found.
