Tissue engineering is an emerging field based on the three elements of cells, scaffolds, and bioactive molecules, and can be a useful method for treating muscle injuries. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of ascorbic acid (AA) on the viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) cultured on skeletal muscle decellularization scaffold. First, BM-MSCs were extracted from rat leg bone marrow and cultured in vitro. The identity of the cells was assessed using flow cytometry. The extracted rat skeletal muscle was decellularized using a 1% SDS solution. The decellularization process was investigated by Masson Trichrome, and Alcian blue and DAPI staining.BM-MSCs were cultured on decellularized scaffolds and treated with 1 mM AA for 2 days. Then, the survival and viability of the cells were evaluated using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and MTT methods, respectively.BM-MSCs had a spindle morphology, and the results of flow cytometry showed the expression of CD44 and CD90 and the lack of expression of CD45 and CD34 in more than 90% of the cells. The staining verified the preservation of collagen and glycosaminoglycans and the absence of DNA in the decellularized tissue. MTT results showed that AA significantly increases the viability of BM-MSCs (P<0.05). Also, the SEM results showed that the cells in the group treated with AA were more proliferated. In general, AA can improve the efficiency of muscle tissue engineering by increasing the viability of BM-MSCs.

Valvular diseases are a common problem and valvular replacement is usual treatment for valvular destruction. Tissue engineered heart valve has some advantages, that make them an interesting alternative for previous valves. The aim of this study is measurement of biochemical factors for evaluation of short term efficacy of tissue engineered heart valve. This study was undertaken on 5 male sheep with average weight of 45-55 kg. They have been of-feed 24 hours before of operation. The tissue engineered heart valves were placed in thoracic aorta and after surgery they connected to ventilator under SIMV mode. The arterial blood sample Were collected every hours for 12 hours and evaluated, PCO2, PO2, tCO2, SO2, Hct, Na+ and K+. Arterial blood sample has been taken from auricularis artery. Blood pH fell down in all sheep after surgery but in two sheep as a result of sever blood loos during surgery pH went up toward acidosis, finally after 12 hours pH in all sheep was in normal range. After operation PCO2 was low an PO2 was high because of mechanical ventilation. All the factors backed to normal range after 12 hours of operation. This study shows that biochemical factors had fluctuation in first 12 hours but after 12 hours most of them backed to normal range.
