Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is used to restore patency and avoid inadvertent removal of peripheral and central venous catheters. rt-PA was reconstituted (1 mg/mL) then cryopreserved at -30 °C for 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, and 12 months and, then its stability was determined. After cryopreservation for one and two months, rt-PA kept more than 95% of its activity compared to standard sa...

Cryopreservation of growing oocytes enriches the choice of timing and location of artificial embryo production. However, completion of oocyte growth after warming is crucial when using such cryopreserved oocytes. Our research objective was to develop a sequential system that incorporates cryopreservation of growing bovine oocytes and their subsequent in vitro growth. Oocyte-granulosa cell compl...

Cryopreservation of mesenchymal stem cells from amniotic fluid is of clinical importance, as these cells can be harvested during the prenatal period and stored for use in treatments. We examined the behavior of mesenchymal stem cells from human amniotic fluid in culture that had been subjected to cryopreservation. We assessed chromosomal stability through karyotype analysis, determined whe...

We examined cell isolation, viability, and growth in adipose-derived stem cells harvested from whole adipose tissue subject to different cryopreservation lengths (2-1159 days) from patients of varying ages (26-62 years). Subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue was excised during abdominoplasties and was cryopreserved. The viability and number of adipose-derived stem cells isolated were measured a...

background: ghrelin is a hormone related to food intake in rodents and humans, mainly produced in stomach. this study aimed to determine the effect of irradiation on ghrelin concentration in the gastric mucosa of rats. materials and methods : twenty-five rats were exposed to 15 gy of whole-abdominal irradiation. gastric tissue samples were obtained 1, 3, 7, 30, and 90 days after irradiation. fi...

An immortalized mouse fetal liver stromal cell line, named KM3, has demonstrated the potential to support the growth and maintenance of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). In this study, the characteristics of KM3 cells were examined following cryopreservation at -70°C and in liquid nitrogen for 15, 30 and 60 days following treatment with 10 μg/ml mitomycin C. In addition, whether the KM3 cells...

ABSTRACT Aroeira-do-sertão is a Brazilian native species that has been widely explored. Thus, the population of this reduced and techniques for its preservation are essential, such as conservation seeds in liquid nitrogen (LN). The objective work was to evaluate different cryoprotectant solutions cryopreservation aroeira-do-sertão LN (-196 °C). treatments used were: control (7.5±1.5 °C); withou...
