Abstract
Dental tissue-derived stem cells (DSCs) provide an easy, accessible, relatively noninvasive promising source of adult stem cells (ASCs), which brought encouraging prospective for their clinical applications. DSCs provide a perfect opportunity to apply for a patient's own ASC, which poses a low risk of immune rejection. However, problems associated with the long-term culture of stem cells, including loss of proliferation and differentiation capacities, senescence, genetic instability, and the possibility of microbial contamination, make cell banking necessary. With the rapid development of advanced cryopreservation technology, various international DSC banks have been established for both research and clinical applications around the world. However, few studies have been published that provide step-by-step guidance on DSCs isolation and banking methods. The purpose of this review is to present protocols and technical details for all steps of cryopreserved DSCs, from donor selection, isolation, cryopreservation, to characterization and quality control. Here, the emphasis is on presenting practical principles in accordance with the available valid guidelines.

Abstract
At the Summit on Organ Banking through Converging Technologies held recently in Boston, tissue and organ cryopreservation technology was a topic of considerable interest. Although cryopreservation has been widely used in clinical practice, it currently remains limited to bloodless tissues with simple structures and functions that are small or thin, for example, ultra-thin skin, ovarian tissue slices, and other similar tissues. For whole organs, except for successful cryopreservation of rat ovaries (2002) and hind limbs (August 2002), successful cryopreservation of vascularized animal tissues or organs and their replantation have not yet been reported. We conducted histological and electron microscopic examinations on muscle after blood supply restoration to explain this problem and describe our experience with the goal of informing our colleagues to further develop the technology. To achieve broad application of vascularized tissue and organ cryopreservation, we have summarized our experience and established a clinical application scope for vascularized composite tissue cryopreservation.

Abstract
Donor platelet transfusion is currently the only efficient treatment of life-threatening thrombocytopenia, but it is highly challenged by immunological, quality, and contamination issues, as well as short shelf life of the donor material. Ex vivo produced megakaryocytes and platelets represent a promising alternative strategy to the conventional platelet transfusion. However, practical implementation of such strategy demands availability of reliable biobanking techniques, which would permit eliminating continuous cell culture maintenance, ensure time for quality testing, enable stock management and logistics, as well as availability in a ready-to-use manner. At the same time, protocols applying DMSO-based cryopreservation media were associated with increased risks of adverse long-term side effects after patient use. Here, we show the possibility to develop cryopreservation techniques for iPSC-derived megakaryocytes under defined xeno-free conditions with significant reduction or complete elimination of DMSO. Comprehensive phenotypic and functional in vitro characterization of megakaryocytes has been performed before and after cryopreservation. Megakaryocytes cryopreserved DMSO-free, or using low DMSO concentrations, showed the capability to produce platelets in vivo after transfusion in a mouse model. These findings propose biobanking approaches essential for development of megakaryocyte-based replacement and regenerative therapies.

Abstract
Improving aspects of platelet cryopreservation would help ease logistical challenges and potentially expand the utility of frozen platelets. Current cryopreservation procedures damage platelets, which may be caused by ice recrystallization. We hypothesized that the addition of a small molecule ice recrystallization inhibitor (IRI) to platelets prior to freezing may reduce cryopreservation-induced damage and/or improve the logistics of freezing and storage. Platelets were frozen using standard conditions of 5-6% dimethyl sulfoxide (Me2SO) or with supplementation of an IRI, N-(2-fluorophenyl)-d-gluconamide (2FA), prior to storage at -80 °C. Alternatively, platelets were frozen with 5-6% Me2SO at -30 °C or with 3% Me2SO at -80 °C with or without 2FA supplementation. Supplementation of platelets with 2FA improved platelet recovery following storage under standard conditions (p = 0.0017) and with 3% Me2SO (p = 0.0461) but not at -30 °C (p = 0.0835). 2FA supplementation was protective for GPVI expression under standard conditions (p = 0.0011) and with 3% Me2SO (p = 0.0042). Markers of platelet activation, such as phosphatidylserine externalization and microparticle release, were increased following storage at -30 °C or with 3% Me2SO, and 2FA showed no protective effect. Platelet function remained similar regardless of 2FA, although functionality was reduced following storage at -30 °C or with 3% Me2SO compared to standard cryopreserved platelets. While the addition of 2FA to platelets provided a small level of protection for some quality parameters, it was unable to prevent alterations to the majority of in vitro parameters. Therefore, it is unlikely that ice recrystallization is the major cause of cryopreservation-induced damage.

Abstract
Platelets prepared in plasma can be frozen in 6% dimethyl sulfoxide (Me(2)SO) and stored for extended periods at -80°C. The aim of this study was to reduce the plasma present in the cryopreserved product, by substituting plasma with platelet additive solution (PAS; SSP+), whilst maintaining in vitro platelet quality. Buffy coat-derived pooled leukoreduced platelet concentrates were frozen in a mixture of SSP+, plasma and 6% Me(2)SO. The platelets were concentrated, to avoid post-thaw washing, and frozen at -80°C. The cryopreserved platelet units (n=9) were rapidly thawed at 37°C, reconstituted in 50% SSP+/plasma and stored at 22°C. Platelet recovery and quality were examined 1 and 24h post-thaw and compared to the pre-freeze samples. Upon thawing, platelet recovery ranged from 60% to 80%. However, there were differences between frozen and liquid-stored platelets, including a reduction in aggregation in response to ADP and collagen; increased CD62P expression; decreased viability; increased apoptosis and some loss of mitochondrial membrane integrity. Some recovery of these parameters was detected at 24h post-thaw, indicating an extended shelf-life may be possible. The data suggests that freezing platelets in 6% Me(2)SO and additive solution produces acceptable in vitro platelet quality.

Abstract
The effect of epigallocatechin-3- O-gallate (EGCG), a major component of green tea, on platelet preservation was evaluated. Single donor platelets ( N = 10) were collected and preserved by the standard method. EGCG was added to the platelet concentrates before preservation and then the functional and biochemical parameters were monitored throughout the storage period. After 6 days of preservation, the aggregability of the platelets was significantly maintained by addition of 50 and 100 μg/ml of EGCG. Platelet prothrombinase activity was also significantly retained by the addition of EGCG. The accumulation of P-selectin and RANTES in the plasma preserved with EGCG was less than those preserved without EGCG, which indicated that EGCG might inhibit platelet activation. Furthermore, EGCG reduced the increase of LDH in plasma during preservation and inhibited the activation of caspase-3 and cleavage of gelsolin, thereby showing that EGCG could inhibit the apoptosis of platelets. These results suggest that EGCG may play an effective role in preserving platelets by inhibiting the activation and apoptosis of platelets.

Abstract
Scientific studies on cryopreservation of adipose tissues have seldom been performed. The purpose of our present study is conducted both in vitro and in vivo to develop a novel cryopreservation method that can be used successfully for long-term preservation of human adipose tissues for possible future clinical application. In this study, samples of adipose aspirates were obtained from 36 adult white female patients after liposuction and collected from the middle layer after centrifugation. In the in vitro study, suitable cryoprotectant agents (CPAs) and their concentrations and possible combinations were selected from our preliminary experiment. A combination of dimethyl sulfoxide (Me(2)SO) and trehalose as CPA with the optimal concentration (0.5M Me(2)SO and 0.2M trehalose) was chosen and then used throughout the study. In addition, maximal recovery of adipose tissues was achieved after cryopreservation using slow cooling without seeding (1-2 degrees C/min to -30 degrees C, followed by plunging to -196 degrees C for storage) and fast warming (in 40 degrees C water bath, averaging 35 degrees C/min). Fresh adipose aspirates (Group 1), cryopreserved adipose aspirates without CPAs (Group 2), or cryopreserved adipose aspirates with CPAs (Group 3) were evaluated by integrated adipocyte counts and histology. In the in vivo study, fresh adipose aspirates (Group 1), cryopreserved adipose aspirates without CPAs (Group 2), or cryopreserved adipose aspirates with CPAs (Group 3) were injected into a nude mouse. The retained adipose aspirates (fat grafts) were harvested in each animal at 4 months and their weight, volume, and histology was assessed. In the in vitro study, significantly higher integrated viable adipocyte count (2.06+/-0.54 x 10(6)mL(-1) vs. 1.07+/-0.41 x 10(6)mL(-1), p<0.0011) of adipose aspirates was found in Group 3 compared with Group 2. Group 3 had only a marginally lower integrated viable adipocyte count compared with Group 1 (2.06+/-0.54 x 10(6)mL(-1) vs. 2.57+/-0.56 x 10(6)mL(-1), p=0.083). Histologically, more tissue shrinkage was evident in Group 2 compared with Group 3. In the in vivo study, various degrees of absorption of injected fat grafts were seen in all 3 groups. However, Group 3 had significantly more retained weight and volume of the injected fat grafts than Group 2 (both p<0.0001) but had significantly less retained weight and volume than Group 3 (weight, p=0.009178; volume, p=0.007836). Histologically, a large amount of tissue fibrosis was seen in Group 2, and reasonably well maintained fatty tissue with only a small amount of tissue fibrosis was seen in Group 3. The results from the present in vitro and in vivo studies, for the first time, demonstrate that our preferred cryopreservation method, the combination of 0.5M Me(2)SO and 0.2M trehalose as CPA in addition to the controlled slow cooling and fast rewarming protocol, appears to provide the maximum recovered results in cryopreservation of human adipose tissues and may become a real option after further refinements for cryopreservation of human adipose aspirates in a clinical setting.

Abstract
Cryopreservation of tissue-engineered human dermal replacement plays an important role in skin tissue engineering and skin banking. With the inspection of electronic scanning microscope and viability evaluation by Trypan Blue staining assay and the tetrazolium salt, MTT (3-[4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay, this study investigated the toxicity of Me(2)SO to dermal fibroblasts and effects of cryoprotectant concentration and cooling rate on the viability of dermal replacement. The results demonstrated that the Me(2)SO toxicity to fibroblasts was affected by the exposure time, temperature, and concentration. Furthermore adding cryoprotectant solution at low temperature of 4 degrees C significantly reduced the toxic effect on the tissue-engineered dermal equivalent. An optimal cryopreservation protocol consisting of cooling rate at 1 degrees Cmin(-1) in 10% (V/V) Me(2)SO was derived, with the viability of studied dermal equivalent treated by this protocol being 75% of that of fresh control. The micrograph obtained by electronic scanning microscope also confirmed this result.

Abstract
Acquired somatic mutations in exon 2 of the hematopoietic transcription factor GATA-1 have been found in individuals with Down syndrome with both transient myeloproliferative disorder and acute megakaryoblastic leukemia. These mutations prevent the synthesis of the full-length protein but allow the synthesis of its short isoform, GATA-1s. Experiments in mice suggest that GATA-1s supports normal adult megakaryopoiesis, platelet formation and erythropoiesis. Here we report a mutation, 332G --> C, in exon 2 of GATA1, leading to the synthesis of only the short isoform in seven affected males from two generations of a family. Hematological profiles of affected males demonstrate macrocytic anemia, normal platelet counts and neutropenia in most cases. Altogether, data suggest that GATA-1s alone, produced in low or normal levels, is not sufficient to support normal erythropoiesis. Moreover, this is the first study to indicate that a germline splicing mutation does not lead to leukemia in the absence of other cooperating events, such as Down syndrome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated the histological and mechanical changes in addition to viable cellular recovery in cryopreserved blood vessels. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rabbit carotids were cryopreserved in a cryoprotective medium containing 1.5 M of 1,2-propanediol (PD) and then were thawed slowly in an ice bag that had been precooled in liquid nitrogen. Fresh carotids were used as the control. The fresh and freeze-thawed arteries were cultured for the growth of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). The freeze-thawed arterial tissues were perfused in vitro for 6, 12, or 24 h, respectively, to assess the integrity of carotid walls and the mechanical properties. RESULTS The results showed that it took almost the same time (24 approximately 36 h) for the VSMCs of the PD-cryopreserved arteries to regenerate as those from the fresh arteries. Their growing speeds also were similar. On the contrary, Me2SO-cryopreserved (1.5 M) arteries were unable to regenerate VSMCs in culture. After freeze-thawing, the mechanical properties decreased significantly (P < 0.003 for elastic modulus and P < 0.001 for fracture strength). After in vitro perfusion of the freeze-thawed carotid arteries, all of the survived endothelial cells fell off, and some of the VSMCs denaturalized or necrosed. The internal elastic fibers and collagen showed various degrees of cracking. The mechanical properties were decreased (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that the PD-containing cryoprotective medium can preserve regenerative capacity of VSMCs, which makes it a useful technique for viable VSMC recovery. However, the freeze-thawing process and the in vitro perfusion caused serious disruption in the arterial mechanical properties, rendering the cryopreserved blood vessels less useful for vessel reconstruction.

Abstract
Long-term storage of platelets is infeasible due to platelet activation at low temperatures. In an effort to address this problem, we evaluated the effectiveness of a formulation combining trehalose and phosphate in protecting platelet structure and function following cryopreservation. An annexin V binding assay was used to quantify the efficacy of the trehalose and phosphate formulation in suppressing platelet activation during cryopreservation. Of the platelets cryopreserved with the trehalose plus phosphate formulation, 23% +/- 1.2% were nonactivated, compared with 9.8% +/- 0.26% nonactivated following cryopreservation with only trehalose. The presence of both trehalose and phosphate in the cryopreservation medium is critical for cell survival and preincubation in trehalose plus phosphate solutions further enhances viability. The effectiveness of trehalose plus phosphate in preserving platelets in a nonactivated state is comparable to 6% dimethyl sulfoxide (Me(2)SO). Measurements of platelet metabolic activity using an alamarBlue assay also established that trehalose plus phosphate is superior to trehalose alone. Finally, platelets protected by the trehalose plus phosphate formulation exhibit similar aggregation response upon thrombin addition as fresh platelets, but an increase of cytosolic calcium concentration upon thrombin addition was not observed in the cryopreserved platelets. These results suggest that trehalose and phosphate protect several aspects of platelet structure and function during cryopreservation, including an intact plasma membrane, metabolic activity, and aggregation in response to thrombin, but not intracellular calcium release in response to thrombin.

Abstract
The lyophilization of human red blood cells has important implications for blood transfusion in clinical medicine. In this study, sugars, human serum albumin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and dimethyl sulfoxide were used as protective reagents for the lyophilization of red blood cells. Freezing temperature, shelf temperature, and the rehydration conditions were optimized. The results showed that extracellular disaccharides, especially trehalose, did not increase the recovery of hemoglobin. However, when the concentration of human serum albumin was higher than 25%, it had a considerable protective effect on the recovery of lyophilized red blood cells; the cellular hemoglobin recovery was over 70%, which was significantly higher than that in the group without human serum albumin (P<0.01). As the concentration of polyvinylpyrrolidone was increased, the extent of vitrification also increased. But when the concentration of polyvinylpyrrolidone was over 40%, the resulting concentration of free hemoglobin was over 1g/L, which was significantly higher than that with 40% (P<0.01). When lyophilization was carried out after freezing at different temperatures, the recovery of cells and hemoglobin was 70-80% and there were no significant differences among the five groups. When the shelf temperature was higher than -30 degrees C, the samples were partly collapsed, but when the shelf temperature was lower than -30 degrees C, the recovery of cells in the -40 and -45 degrees C groups was significantly higher than in the -30 and -35 degrees C groups (P<0.05). The recovery of cells and hemoglobin after lyophilization and rehydration in solutions containing low concentrations of polymers was over 80%, which is significantly higher than the other groups (P<0.01). In addition, when the temperature was higher than 25 degrees C, the concentration of free hemoglobin was significantly lower than it was at 4 degrees C (P<0.01). In conclusion, our study showed the lyophilization of red blood cells is feasible. Disaccharides have no protective effect on lyophilized cells when they are only extracellular and extensive vitrification may be not beneficial. Although the recovery of cells after lyophilization and rehydration by our method was over 70%, the ultrastructure of the cells may be compromised and some hemolysis does still exist. Further research is required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this study whether metabolic suppression can be used to preserve platelet (PLT) function during prolonged storage was investigated. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Washed human PLTs were incubated without glucose and with antimycin A to block energy generation. Metabolic suppressed PLTs (MSPs) were stored for 72 hours at different temperatures to find the optimal storage temperature. Controls were incubated with 5 mmol per L glucose and stored at 22 and 4 degrees C. RESULTS Following metabolic recovery with glucose, MSPs stored at 37, 22, and 4 degrees C showed an increase in basal P-selectin expression (PSE) reaching greater than 40 percent after about 2, 20, and 48 hours; a decrease in thrombin receptor-activating peptide SFLLRN (TRAP)-induced PSE inversely related to the increase in basal PSE; and a decrease in TRAP-induced aggregation reaching less than 30 percent after about 4, 24, and more than 72 hours. When compared with control suspensions, MSPs stored at 4 degrees C better preserved a low basal PSE and in addition showed a better adhesion to surface coated-von Willebrand factor and fibrinogen in a flow chamber. CONCLUSION Metabolic suppression before storage at 4 degrees C contributes to better preservation of PLT function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate, in vitro, the effects of collecting and cryopreserving fresh dry platelet concentrates (PCs). MATERIAL AND METHODS Standard and dry PCs were collected in the same apheresis procedure. PCs were evaluated by mean platelet volume (MPV), pH, glucose and LDH levels. Activation was examined by flow cytometry using anti-CD41, anti-CD42 and anti-CD62p monoclonal antibodies and annexin binding assay. Platelet function was assessed by aggregation using ADP, collagen and arachidonic acid as agonists. Dry PCs were compared to standard PCs and to cryopreserved dry PCs. We also compared the use of ThromboSol to 5% DMSO as cryoprotectives. RESULTS Dry PCs presented a significantly reduced pH and glucose (p<0.001), increased LDH levels and CD62p expression (p<0.001) and diminished aggregation response to ADP (p<0.001). Platelet cryopreservation was associated with platelet lysis, activation and loss of function. Dry PCs cryopreserved with TS were associated with statistically higher LDH levels (p<0.001) and a higher percentage of annexin binding (p=0.005), in addition to a lower number of CD42 positive platelets (p=0.01). CONCLUSION Dry PCs should be rapidly frozen after collection to avoid a fall in pH and platelet activation. 5% DMSO performed better than TS to cryopreserve dry PCs.

Abstract
Apoptosis or programmed cell death was discovered in nucleate cells 30 years ago and has been well documented. In contrast, apoptosis in anucleate platelets has only a five-year research history and as yet but few publications related to it. In this review, we will present the data on platelet apoptosis in several models. These include in vitro models where platelet apoptosis was induced by calcium ionophores, natural platelet agonists, storage in capped tubes at 37 degrees C and storage at room temperature under standard blood banking conditions, and in vivo models where apoptosis was provoked by suppression of thrombopoiesis, malaria infection and injection of tumor necrosis factor or anti-platelet antibodies. Understanding of platelet apoptosis and its role in the platelet storage lesion is an exciting challenge; future research is likely to provide us with further insight into this field.

Abstract
A variety of agents are available to improve hemostasis and reduce blood loss in multiple clinical settings. These agents are most commonly used to reduce bleeding when an underlying hemostatic defect is present. Some new agents offer the potential to decrease blood loss even in the absence of an obvious underlying hemostatic defect. The authors discuss the use of a variety of products to reduce bleeding and minimize transfusion of blood products in the setting of clotting factor deficiency or inhibition, platelet deficiency and/or dysfunction, increased fibrinolysis, therapeutic anticoagulation, and coagulopathies caused by dilution and consumption in the setting of trauma and surgery. The authors primarily focus on the available pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES During platelet storage an array of deleterious changes occur, through mechanisms not fully understood, which impair platelet haemostasis. Transfused platelets should maintain the integrated networks of signalling pathways that regulate platelet activation and functionality. We hypothesized that protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, which play a fundamental role in these pathways, might be affected by platelet storage. We therefore investigated whether the activity of phosphotyrosine phosphatase (PTP), which belongs to an oxidant-susceptible group of enzymes involved in the platelet signal-transduction pathways that ensure platelet functionality, is affected by platelet storage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using sheep platelet species as a model system, we conducted serial studies on the membranes of platelets and microparticles shed during platelet storage, in their own plasma or in a synthetic medium called Seto, for up to 5 days at 4 degrees C. RESULTS A progressive decrease in both total and specific membrane-associated PTP activities from whole platelets (but not from microparticles) located within each platelet storage bag was observed from day 1 onwards in both types of storage media. These decreases could be partly avoided by the addition of vitamin E. Additionally, the observed decrease in PTP activity was accompanied with increases in the tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins from whole platelets or crude platelet membranes, the tyrosine phosphorylation state of proteins from microparticles remaining basically unchanged. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that alterations of at least the tyrosine phosphorylation balance might be one of the reasons for the decrease in the haemostatic function of stored platelets.

Abstract
Recent studies suggested that the expression of P-Selectin on stored platelets is related to in vitro activation and loss of viability. We examined the effects of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) on in vitro function and P-Selectin expression of platelet concentrates. Fresh random-donor platelet units (n = 60) were divided into four equal groups. A DMSO-free group was chosen as a control. DMSO (0.5%, 1.0%, and 3.0%) was added to the other three groups. The samples were stored on a horizontal shaker at room temperature. Biochemical, morphological and platelet function tests and P-Selectin expression were monitored during storage. In all groups, P-Selectin expression, lactate and LDH levels, mean platelet volumes and PO2 increased but the aggregation response to agonist, the recovery response to hypotonic shock, platelet count, glucose level, pCO2, and HCO3 decreased during storage. In DMSO-containing groups, the P-Selectin expression which is a predictor of in vitro activation, was found significantly less often than in the DMSO-free group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although it is usually involved only in nucleated cells (NCs), artificially enucleated cells also lose viability by a programmed process of cell death called apoptosis. Because platelets undergo loss of viability during storage, an attempt was made to determine whether platelets contained the apoptotic mechanisms and whether it was activated during platelet storage. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Platelet viability was measured by reduction of a tetrazolium dye (MTS) and annexin V binding. Members of the death receptor, caspase, and Bcl-2 families were detected by RNase protection assay and Western blotting. Caspase 3 activation was measured by enzyme and Western blot assays and by cleavage of gelsolin. RESULTS After 5 days of storage under standard blood banking conditions, platelets display biochemical signs of apoptosis by losing MTS activity and increasing the amount of phosphatidylserine on their surface. The mRNA and the proenzyme for several members of the caspase, death receptor, and Bcl-2 families are expressed at high levels in platelets. An increase in caspase 3 activity and the amount of the biologically active p17 subunit of active caspase 3 were observed to coincide with the appearance of apoptotic markers during storage. These effects were not due to platelet activation. The caspase 3 substrate, gelsolin, began to undergo proteolysis after 3 to 4 days of storage, and the addition of the caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmt substantially inhibited this process. CONCLUSION Platelets contain many of the components of the apoptotic mechanism and show activation of caspase 3 and consequent cleavage of gelsolin during storage, independent of platelet activation. Evaluation of the mechanism of apoptosis in platelets may provide a basis for developing novel strategies to enhance platelet viability during storage.

Abstract
Current methods of platelet storage are unsatisfactory because of the short shelf life of platelets and the rapid loss of platelet viability. We have developed a cryopreservation method that results in less damage from freezing and higher recovered function of platelets. Platelets were cryopreserved using a combination of epinephrine (EPN) and dimethyl sulfoxide (Me(2)SO) as cryoprotectants. The response of platelets to agonists was studied by flow cytometry and aggregation tests. Cryopreserving platelets with Me(2)SO decreased platelet annexin V binding due to freezing. The combination of EPN with Me(2)SO enhanced Me(2)SO cryoprotection and decreased platelet microparticle generation, suggesting that cryopreserving platelets using this combination is associated with increased platelet integrity. Platelet cryopreservation with an Me(2)SO/EPN combination also increased platelet aggregability, which was demonstrated by decreasing the lag phase and increasing the aggregation density to 66.39% +/- 6.6 that of fresh platelet-rich plasmas. We conclude that adding EPN as a combined cryoprotectant improves the quality of Me(2)SO-frozen platelets. As a method of aggregation of cryopreserved platelets, this method is comparable to that of normal fresh platelets and may improve the conditions for platelet transfusion.
