Amniotic or placental membrane were peeled and preserved inN.S, P.B. SorDMEM at4°C or cultured in DMEM at 37°C, 5% CO2. Trypan-bluestaining, light and electronic microscopy were observed every six hours after preservation.Results: Seventy percent of amniotic epithelial cells survived after preservation in N. Sfor 6 hours, PBS 12 hours, DMEM 24 hours and 1 week in tissue culture. The amountof living epithelial cells maintained in placental membrane preservation was less thanthat in amniotic membrane preservation at the same time (t-test, P ＜ 0. 01) . Nocollagen degeneration was found during preservation.Conclusion: Preservative solution and time will affect the maintenance time of freshamniotic membrane greatly. Fresh amniotic membrane should be preserved within 6hours in N.S, 12 hours in P.B.S, 24 hours in DMEM at 4 °C and 1 week in tissteculture for clinical use.展开更多
