BACKGROUND: The survival rate of articular chondrocytes is low after traditional cryopreservation,and great differences existed in chondrocytes from surface layer and deep layer,which easily result in graft degeneration and lead to surgery failure.OBJECTIVE: To establish rabbit allograft models of graded frozen articular cartilages with holes made before cryopreservation and to observe the effect of holed cryopreservation on the rabbit articular cartilages.METHODS: Osteochondral plugs taken aseptically from 2 months old rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups: the experimental group,making holes(3 mm× 3 mm)in articular cartilages and graded freezing; non-hole graded freezing group,non-making holes and graded freezing; cryopreservation group: non-making holes and rapid freezing.The grafts were thawed and transplanted into the relevant articular cartilage defects of recipient rabbits.The grafts differences were observed by gross observation,histochemistry and immunohistochemistry staining.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The gross observation,histochemistry and immunohistochemistry staining of the experimental group were superior to the cryopreservation group.Though there were no significant differences between the non-hole graded freezing group and the experimental group,however,the experimental group enhanced the protective effect on cartilage tissue in the middle layer.The graded cryopreservation of articular cartilage gets an advantage over rapid cryopreservation.And the articular cartilage with holes could be preserved successfully in graded cryopreservation,which assures the survival and function of chondrocytes and slows down degrading process of the articular cartilage tissue after thawed and transplanted.

Objective To discuss the effect of DNA extraction of bloodstain on the filter paper with four methods of solid phase absorption.Methods 180 bloodstain samples on the iflter paper, each one contains 1 microlitre anticoagulation peripheral venous blood, divided into 4 groups with 45 samples, respectively. All samples were treated with four methods of solid phase absorption, i.e. DNA IQ? System, D-shield sensitive DNA Extraction Kit, High efficiency Silica Bead DNA Extraction Kit and Conventional silica bead method. The concentration of DNA and the results of STR typing of four groups were compared each other.Results The concentration of DNA was 3.764±1.790μg/mL and 3.634±1.112μg/mL by using D-shield sensitive DNA Extraction Kit and High efifciency Silica Bead DNA Extraction Kit, respectively. However, the concentration of DNA by using Conventional silica bead method group (3.350±1.250) was not signiifcantly different from each other (P<0.05), while the concentration of DNA extracted with above three methods were higher than by using DNA IQ? System (1.864±1.207)(P<0.001); Signiifcant differences of peak height existed between DNA IQ? System and other three methods (P<0.001); As the same time, the peak height of samples by using High efficiency Silica Bead DNA Extraction Kit and Conventional silica bead method were signiifcantly different from D-shield sensitive DNA Extraction Kit (P<0.01).Conclusions The DNA extracted in bloodstain on the iflter paper by using D-shield sensitive DNA Extraction Kit, High efifciency Silica Bead DNA Extraction Kit and Conventional silica bead method was more than DNA IQ? System. Meanwhile, the quality of DNA using High efifciency Silica Bead DNA Extraction Kit and Conventional silica bead method may be higher.
