ABSTRACT

Cryopreservation has been used over many decades for the maintenance of viable biological specimens. Its expansion into the area of fertility preservation has been a natural outcome of the increased risks to human fertility from diseases, such as cancer and its treatment protocols, including radiation and chemo-therapy, and the general lifestyle trend to later marriages. The use of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) in preserving fertility have benefitted significantly from new scientific approaches, such as cryostorage, in which live cells and tissues are stored at low temperatures and revived when necessary. This review focuses on "cryopreservation science monitoring in reproductive biomedicine" to evaluate knowledge, trends, driving forces, impetus, and emerging technologies in order to draw a future roadmap for this field. Our analysis of the field of cryobiology emphasizes the significance of strategic planning of cryobiology research to support more its extensive use in therapeutics in the future. The Royan Institute (Tehran, Iran) recognises this need and has developed a strategic plan to engage in multidisciplinary research on the application of cryobiology, including cryobioengineering, in disease mitigation. We hoped that this study can help improve the quality and quantity of public discourse and expert awareness of the role for cryopreservation in fertility preservation within ART.

ABSTRACT

One of the challenges in ovarian transplantation is ischemia-reperfusion damage. When transitional tissue faces an acute and critical condition in terms of blood supply (immediately after organ transplantation), treatment with low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) seems to be very beneficial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of ultrasound therapy on heterotopic transplanted mouse ovarian tissue. Adult female Naval Medical Research Institute mice were divided into three groups. In the experimental groups, the transplanted ovary was exposed 5 min daily to ultrasound with an intensity of 0.3 W/cm(2), frequency of 3 MHz and pulse mode of 1:4. The grafted ovaries were assessed with the usual histology and immunohistochemistry techniques. Results indicate that more CD31 angiogenic factor was expressed in irradiated animals than in control animals, and ultrasound therapy resulted in better follicular preservation, especially after 14 d. In conclusion, therapeutic ultrasound may accelerate and increase re-angiogenesis and can help to promote ovarian follicular growth.
