This study aimed to investigate the method of conserving the mice skin for long time in vitro,and forty clean male KM mice of 8-week old were divided into two groups by random digit table,namely vitrified skin transplantation group(n =30) and fresh skin transplantation group(n =10) .The skin was vitrified quickly with freezing solution EFS40 by the two-step method,and then was thawed with 0.5 mol/L glucose,which was followed by self-transplanted.The vitrified skin transplantation group was self-transplanted after the skin was vitrified for 2 weeks.A piece of skin which was smaller than the vitrified one was cut off on the other side of the spine,and the thawed skin were laid smoothly to coincide with the edge of the cut skin which was sutured then.In fresh skin transplantation group,fresh skins were prepared to put in Dulbecco phosphate-buffered saline for 15 minutes and then be transplanted to original position.The outcomes of transplantation were valuated on day 14 and day 28 after transplantation.And the results indicated that the survival rate of the fresh skin transplantation group was 100%(10/10) .The survival rate of the vitrified skin transplantation group was 77%(23/30) on day 14 and 70%(21/30) on day 28,respectively.But the surfaces of the mice skin and part of the hair follicle cells were damaged during vitrification.However,the method of vitrifying the mice skin quickly in this paper may be used to conserve the skin in vitro.

Objective To explore the effect of pharmacological preconditioning wtith low-dose FK506 reducing subsequent ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbit knee joint and to explore the possible mechanism of that. Methods Twenty four animal model of allograft heterootopic knee joint were established and divided randonly into three groups: IR group ( Ischemia-reperfusion group), KK506 group ( FK506 preconditioning group) and ST group(Sham control group). Vessels were clamped for 1 hour, and then grafts received reper-fusion. Tissues(for example muscles tissues) of pro-ischemia and reperfusion after 12 hours were obtained, and they were observed by microscope and electron microscope and were at aiysised with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction( RT-PCR) , Western Blot, DNA ladder, flow cvtometer. Moreover, the contents of MDA , NO and SOD in these tissues were examined by spectrophotometer Results As a result, we observed disoranized tissues and swollen cells in IR groups but trenchant tissues and intact cells in FK506 groups by microscope, vaeuolated and tumid mitochondrion in IR groups but non-vacuolated and intact that in FK506 groups. With FK506 preconidtioning, the contents MDA and NO were distiactly reduced but significant raised in FK506 group. Compared with IR group, DNA ladder of FK506 group were weakly, and apoptotic raetes reduce from 20% to 10% and the expression of TNF, IL-1 , Fas and FasL mRNA obviously down-regulated. At the same time, expression of HSP70 significantly up-regulated on protein and mRNA levels with RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis in FK506 group. Conclusion Pharmacological preconditioning with low-dose FK506(0. 3mg/kg) can induce tolerance of ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbit allograft knee joint. Over-expression of HSP70 may he key factor of that.
