A study on the ideal method for cryopreserving human fetal islet tissues was carried out. The viability and the secretory function of fetal islets cryopreserved with 1.0,1.5,and 2.0 mol/L DMSO and with balancing for 30 and 60 minutes under room temperature and 4℃ as well as the influence of different cooling rates were compared. The results of the study showed that the viability of islets cryopreserved with slow cooling rate at 0.3℃/min, was the best and the insulin content of the media and the amount of insulin secretion of the insulin releasing test were significantly higher than those of the control group.In addition,morphologic examination with HE and immunocytochemical staining showed that the morphology of the islets cryopreserved with 1.5 mol/L DMSO,balancing under 4℃ for 60 minutes and slow cooling rate was much better,i.e.the acinar cells appeared to be degenerated and necrosed,clusters of islets with insulin-positive cells and the ductule-like cells were clearly visible.

AIM: To study the effect of Yupingfeng Powder(YPFP) on rat's allergic rhinitis induced by stimulating ovalbumin.and reveal the influence on Th1,Th2 and Th1/Th2 proportion. METHODS: 8-week-old BALB/c mice were sensitized by means of intranasal and systemic intraperitoneal injection application of OVA,6 subjects were administered including 2,500 mg/kg extracts of YPFP for 7 days in early stage(interference group);6 mice were administered YPFP in after challenge(therapy group);the placebo group were given saline.After 7 days,Th1 and Th2 in splenocyte were detected by flow cytometry(FCM) and nasobuccal mucosa pathology were observed. RESULTS: When compared with Th2 of animal model group(9.86?1.40),there was a significant decrease expressing Th2 after PFP treatment(3.41?0.72,P
