The study proposes an algorithm for calculating of appreciable permeability coefficients for multicellular structures in a cryoprotectant medium using physical and mathematical model of mass transfer. The values of surface-area-to-volume ratio for L929 cells at different temperatures were determined and the thermal expansion coefficient of the surface area of cell membranes was calculated (β = 2.7 × 10-3 /°C). The osmotically inactive volume for L929 cells and their spheroids was determined. Filtration and permeability coefficients to DMSO for L929 cells and in toto spheroids were found from the dynamic curves of relative volume change. The calculated parameters are the highest for individual cells and significantly (p <0.05) decrease for cells in the spheroids with increasing depth of their location, this reduction may be stipulated by a decrease in the available surface of cells in the spheroids for the penetration of extracellular substances. Obtained in this research permeability characteristics of spheroids can be used to develop optimal cryopreservation regimens for them.

Effectiveness of cryopreserved placental drug ‘Placental cryoextract’ to correct the reproductive system disorders, occurring against the background of low levels of thyroid hormones, was studied in 50 male rats with mercazolyl hypothyroidism. Using standard test systems for animals, the level of total and free forms of thyroid hormones, total testosterone and estradiol was determined. The morphofunctional state of sperm (number, motility, pathological forms) was traditionally assessed. It was shown that the introduction of the biological product (at a dose of 50–150 μl / kg) restored the functional activity of the thyroid gland of animals, and the lowest dose was more effective. Placental cryoextract also had a dose-dependent effect on the reproductive system of animals with hypothyroidism: the most effective dose was 150 μl / kg, which maximally restored the morphofunctional parameters of sperm and stimulated testosterone production as well as normalized the Ts / E2 ratio. Cryopreserved placenta extract can be considered as a potential drug for the correction of hypothyroidism and reproductive disorders of endocrine origin in male rats.

The paper provides a comparison of properties of cryopreserved fetal murine multipotent stromal cells (MSCs) of skin-muscular origin and those derived from adult thymus in culture in vitro. Fetal MSCs showed a 30% higher number of average population doublings within 24 hrs, and 41% lower average population doubling time. It was found that the fetal MSCs of the 4th passage had a 39% higher clonogenic activity than the adult thymus-derived ones. Fetal MSCs and those derived from adult thymus differentiated in osteogenic and adipogenic lineages with equal efficiency in special culture media. Fetal and thymus-derived MSCs were characterized by almost the same high ability of contact interaction with thymocytes, and the fibroblast-lymphocyte rosette (FLR) formation. They were far less active in FLR formation with lymph node cells. This indicated the presence of membrane affinity for immature lymphoid cells in both MSC subpopulations. The results showed the fetal MSCs to be significantly different from the adult thymus-derived MSCs by more active kinetics of growth and clonogenic potential. However, both cell subpopulations had virtually the same ability for linear differentiation and showed high activity during contact with immature lymphoid cells. Linear differentiation and the ability to interact with lymphocytes were found to be quite stable properties of MSCs, but a proliferative activity and in vitro colony formation distinguished significantly in different types of MSCs. This can be taken into account when choosing the cells for therapy, research and results assessment.

Preservation of cells during crystallization of the cell suspension is influenced by two types of damaging factors. The first type of cryoinjury occurs during the crystallization of the extracellular environment and is caused by dehydration of cells, increasing the concentration and ionic strength of extracellular and intracellular solutions. As the cooling rate rises, the damage rate of the first type decreases as a result of the reduced time of action of damaging factors. The second type of cryoinjury is intracellular crystallization, the probability of which enhances at high cooling rates, is considered the most destructive to cells. The optimal linear cooling rate for PK-15 cells is determined using a physico-mathematical model, which describes the probability of cryoinjury of cells in the linear freezing mode and is based on the two-factor theory of cryoinjury, thermodynamic theory of homogeneous crystallization and general theory of activation-type processes. The findings have shown that within the range of cooling rates < 0.5 °C/min the cryoinjury of PK-15 cells occurs mainly due to the effects of the solution, and at cooling rates > 2.5 °C/min this was mainly resulted from an intracellular crystallization. The dependence of the percentage of damaged cells on the cooling rate has a relatively wide minimum within the range of cooling rates of 0.5 °C/min… 2.5 °C/min.

To date, the number of women giving birth to their first child in late reproductive age is increasing around the world. This stipulates a need in designing the new approaches to restore the uterine contractile activity. In this paper, the histological features of uterus and its contractile activity have been experimentally studied in differently aged rats after the dorsal root ganglia cryoextract (DRGCE) administration. The cryoextract was derived from dorsal root ganglia of neonatal piglets by three-fold freezing down to –196°C in saline, followed by thawing at room temperature, homogenization and centrifugation. Here, we used the female rats of reproductive age (RA, 6-month-old) and those of late reproductive age (LRA, 14-month-old). Animals of both age groups received intraperitoneally either DRGCE (experimental groups) or saline (control groups) for 9 days by 0.2 ml. To days 28–29 after administration beginning the animals were sacrificed and the uterine fragments were taken for histological examination and study of oxytocin (OT)-induced uterine contractile activity (UCA). The strength of OT-induced uterine isometric contraction was found to decrease by 28.6% in LRA rats vs. the RA ones. The DRGCE administration to LRA rats increased the UCA indices, namely the contractile frequency, contractile amplitude and strength of isometric contraction augmented by 25, 9.8 and 30% respectively, as compared with the group of the same age without DRGCE introduction. This effect was observed on the background normal uterine histological structure and unchanged myometrial thickness.

The presence in the system of critical liquid-liquid phase transition (PT) by the mechanism, resulting in formation of dispersion system, namely high-concentrated emulsion, has been established here during cooling when using polarized light microscopy and fixation of critical opalescence phenomenon in erythrocyte concentrate with glycerol-containing cryopreservative agent, designed at the Central Research Institute of Haematology and Blood Transfusion (Russia) (CRIHBT-115 ). The studied cryobiological system displayed no signs of crystallization. A phase behaviour of cryopreservative and supernatant has been studied during cooling-warming cycle. Changes in the volume of cryopreservative and erythrocyte concentrate were comparatively and qualitatively evaluated during cooling. The mechanism of protective action of cryopreservation solution has been determined. The similarity between physical and chemical processes during cooling-warming of erythrocyte cytoplasm and garlic meristem cells (germinal plant tissue) when entering cold anabiosis has been established.

For the first time the possibility of using thermomechanical analysis to construct the fragments of state diagrams of cryoprotective solutions in the zone of glass transition temperatures has been considered. A method for studying cluster crystallization of cryoprotective solutions based on thermomechanical curves has been developed. The parameters of thermomechanical curves of frozen aqueous solutions of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), polyethylene oxide 1500 (PEO-1500), glycerol were analyzed and the relationship between these parameters and the cluster crystallization kinetics for these solutions was established. On the basis of experimentally obtained thermomechanical curves for the frozen solutions of DMSO and PEO-1500 the possibility of formation of clusters of two types has been shown: on the basis of ice and cryoprotective substance microcrystals. Additional experimental data were obtained to construct a complete state diagrams of cryoprotective solutions, which include the existing cluster phase areas.
