title: [Effects of different cooling rate on the viability of cryopreservation of skin].
abstract: The three methods of stored skin by vitrification and slow cooling and vitrification+slow cooling were studied in order to improve the viability of stored skin. The results showed that the viability (oxygen consumptions and succinate dehydrogenase) of skin cryopreserved by vitrification was superior than by slow cooling and vitrification+slow cooling. The viability of homograft stored by vitrification was 61% compared with that for other two groups of 51.7% and 49.2% (P < 0.05). So the skin stored by this vitrification may be suitable for clinical use.
