EDFS40对深低温保存兔颈总动脉结构和舒缩功能的影响

目的 评价玻璃化溶液EDFS40对深低温保存兔颈总动脉形态结构和舒缩功能的影响.方法 无菌条件下取兔颈总动脉,分别以EDFS40和1.5 mol/L二甲亚砜为低温保护剂,经玻璃化法和慢速冷冻法深低温保存14 d.复温后和新鲜动脉进行大体和显微形态的观察,器官浴槽内进行非内皮依赖性舒缩功能的测定.结果 EDFS40组动脉的大体、组织学及超微结构与新鲜动脉相似,对氯化钾的收缩力和慢速冷冻组动脉无明显差别(P>0.05),对去甲肾上腺素和硝普钠的收缩或舒张张力优于后者(P<0.05),但均低于新鲜动脉(P<0.05).结论 EDFS40能较好保持兔颈总动脉的形态结构及功能,可用于血管的玻璃化保存.

Effect of EDFS40 on morphology and vasomotoricity of rabbit carotids in cryopreservation

Objective To assess the effect of EDFS40 on the structure and vasomotoricity of rabbit carotids in cryopreservation. Methods The fresh carotids, taken from rabbits under aseptic conditions, were preserved for 14 days in liquid nitrogen by vitrification or slow freezing method with both fresh and thawed carotids were observed by visual examination, optical and electron microscopes, respectively. Their endothelium-independent vasoconstriction and vasodilatation were detected in organ bath. Results The morphological changes of the EDFS40-vitrified arteries were similar to those of the fresh carotids under macrography, optical and electron microscopes. And there was no obvious difference in contraction to KCl between the cryopreservation group and the slow-freezing group (P>0.05). The contractile and relaxant responses of vitrified arteries to NE or SNP were significantly better than those of the frozen arteries (P<0.05); both, however, were still inferior to the vasomotoricity of the fresh arteries (P<0.05). Conclusion The rabbit carotids vitrified with EDFS40 can have their structure and vasomotor function maintained without obvious damage, which may indicate the usage of EDFS40 in vitrification of blood vessels.
