The Rapid Inactivation of Porcine Skin by Applying High Hydrostatic Pressure without Damaging the Extracellular Matrix
نویسندگان
چکیده
We previously reported that high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) of 200 MPa for 10 minutes could induce cell killing. In this study, we explored whether HHP at 200 MPa or HHP at lower pressure, in combination with hyposmotic distilled water (DW), could inactivate the skin, as well as cultured cells. We investigated the inactivation of porcine skin samples 4 mm in diameter. They were immersed in either a normal saline solution (NSS) or DW, and then were pressurized at 100 and 200 MPa for 5, 10, 30, or 60 min. Next, we explored the inactivation of specimens punched out from the pressurized skin 10×2 cm in size. The viability was evaluated using a WST-8 assay and an outgrowth culture. The histology of specimens was analyzed histologically. The mitochondrial activity was inactivated after the pressurization at 200 MPa in both experiments, and no outgrowth was observed after the pressurization at 200 MPa. The arrangement and proportion of the dermal collagen fibers or the elastin fibers were not adversely affected after the pressurization at 200 MPa for up to 60 minutes. This study showed that a HHP at 200 MPa for 10 min could inactivate the skin without damaging the dermal matrix.

P-37: The Effect of Extracellular Calcium Concentration on the In vitro Maturation of Mouse Oocytes after Mechanical Stimulation by Hydrostatic Pressure
Background: Oocyte maturation is usually defined as the period of progression from the first to the second meiotic arrest and involves coordinated nuclear and cytoplasmic modification. Ca2+ signals are known as important regulators of oocyte maturation. Extracellular Ca2+ is important for first polar body formation, normal meiosis kinetics, and for preserving the chromosome and spindle configur...

Background: The parthenogenetic of oocytes is important in cloning research, as artificial activation of oocytes is an essential component of nucleus transfer protocols. Hydrostatic pressure can act as a mechanical stimulator that rearranges egg contents. Ethanol promotes a single intracellular Ca2+ increase of greater and longer amplitude than the initial increase observed at fertilization. In...

Negative pressure wound therapy involves creating an air-tight seal around a wound and applying a continuous or intermittent vacuum to the underlying tissues, changing the dressing every 2 to 3 days. It is regularly used in people for acute and chronic wounds, skin grafts and flaps, septic peritonitis, and closed incisions at risk dehiscence; use in the veterinary profession is steadily increas...

Background: Parthenogenetic activation of mammalian oocytes using artificial stimuli is commonly used in various reproductive bio-techniques. Calcium ionophore is known to elevate intracellular calcium levels in the cytoplasm of oocytes through the influx of calcium from extracellular spaces. Ethanol promotes a single intracellular Ca2+ increase of greater and longer amplitude than the initial ...
