Therefore, due to this reason, we lost many of these valuable specimens during teaching sessions. So, we planned to make a soft, clear and flexible polymer for sheet plastination, Methods: In this work, a human brain was fixed in 10% formalin solution for about 1 month. The specimens were then, cut into 1mm thick serial sections by sausage cutter machine. The sections were dehydrated by cold acetone for about one week and the acetone was changed everyday. The specimens were forced impregnated by the polymer we named it P87. This is our new soft and flexible polymer, which recently has been synthesized in our lab. Results: We obtained a soft, clear and flexible sheet palastinated specimen, which can even be folded or bended without being broken. Conclusion We can use this new made polymer for whole body sheet plastination as well. Key words: Flexible Polymer, Sheet Plastination, Human Brain Production of chondrocytes from adult stem cells in adipose tissue L October 5, 2007 Batool Hashemi Beni, Ph.D Student Ebrahim Esfandiary, MD-Ph.D place: Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Anatomical sciences Department my role: superviser Introduction Autologus Chondrocyte culture and transplantation (ACT), has been recently introduced as the best method of treatment for traumatic osteoarthritis. Meanwhile, because of needed biopsy through open surgery or arthroscopy, which might harm the patient, a new method of preparation of chondrocyte from adult stem cell has been proposed. Methods Fat specimens were removed from skin adipose tissue during abdominal surgery operations or caesarian sections. After washing with PBS, for a few times, the specimens were fragmented into small peaces and treated with collagenase (1-1.5 mg/g), in 37 °, for 60 minutes, while they were gently shaken. The obtained cells were filtered and centrifuged for a few times. These mononuclear cells were cultured with monolayer method, in DMEM-10 % FBS medium. The harvested cells from passage 4, were used for differentiation into cartilage by pallet system culture. The chondrogenic medium was used for this later culture and its medium was changed every 2-3 days during 21 days time of the culture. Results The tissue which was harvested from the last culture, was fixed and embedded in paraffin block. It was then cut into histologic sections and stained with H&E, Alis, and methylen blue. Another part of the tissue was prepared for transmission electron microscopy. The sections showed the round chondrocytes in lacunae with basophilic matrix in central region, down the microscope. Therefore, it was revealed that, mesenchymal stem cells, under the influence of chondrogenic factores, were differentiated into cartilage. Establishment of Culture of Human Chondrocytes, for the first time in Iran L August 6, 2004 Dr Mehdi Shakibaei, PH.D, Dr Mohammad Hossain Nasr, Ph.D,Nooshin Amirpour, MSc, Mehr Afarin Fesharaki place: IVF Center In Isfahan my role: Superviser Background: The Inability of self-repair in cartilage tissue has led to the development of a new technique called autologous chondrocyte transplantation (ACT), which is a modern treatment for cartilage defects. In this study, chondrocyte culture was established, and also calcium alginate was used for longer culture of chondrocyte in vitro. This study was based for future human chondrocytes transplantation. Methods: The cartilage specimen obtained from 50 patients who underwent total knee and hip operations in IsfahanUniversity of Medical Sciences. Cartilage specimens were used for monolayer culture and for suspension culture in alginate beads. Results: The number of cells obtained from the specimens from younger patients was higher and the round condrocytes showed large euchromatic nucleus with several nucleoli and small vacuole. Approximately 12 ± 1 millions cells were harvested from the 3rd passage. The alginate beads derived cells from passages 1 to 4 showed increasingly positive reaction. Conclusion: Chondrocyte culture was established for the first time in Iran. The findings of this study showed that the quantity as well as quality of harvested chondrocytes of monolayer culture in young patients was higher than old ones. In some patients the harvested cells were used immediately and successfully for transplantation.
