Background

The information in this background section is only for enhancement of understanding of the general background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or any form of suggestion that this information forms the prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

With the development of cancer diagnosis and treatment modes, the survival period of cancer patients is prolonged, and many female patients still have fertility requirements when cancer is diagnosed, but the ovarian function is seriously damaged by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, so that premature ovarian failure is caused. Ovarian tissue freezing is the primary way to preserve fertility in female cancer patients and is the only way to preserve fertility in prepubertal women. However, part of follicles can be lost after the ovary tissues are frozen, the success rate of the ovary freezing resuscitation after transplantation is low, and the key factors for improving the freezing efficiency of the ovary tissues are to increase the volume of the frozen ovary tissues and reduce the freezing damage.

The traditional ovary tissue freezing technology adopts programmed freezing, but the programmed freezing technology has the defects of complex instrument operation, high equipment price and the like, and limits the clinical application of the ovary freezing technology. The ovary vitrification freezing technology is the trend of low-temperature freezing of tissues in the future, and has the advantages of simple operation, low cost, high freezing efficiency and the like. At present, no standardized ovarian tissue vitrification freezing scheme exists, and most of ovarian tissue slices (the area is less than 1 cm)²And the thickness is 1mm) so as to facilitate permeation of the cryoprotectant and increase the cooling rate, but too small ovarian tissue causes waste of follicles during cutting, too few follicles during regeneration of blood vessels after transplantation of the ovarian tissue, and the maintenance time of endocrine function is short. Therefore, how to realize a large ovarian tissue (area > 1 cm)²) Vitrification freezing is the key to improving the success of the ovarian freezing technology.

The vitrification freezing carrier is a key factor influencing the vitrification freezing effect and directly influences the freezing effect. The carriers for freezing and storing human ovarian tissues by applying the vitrification method at present comprise freezing tubes, straws, copper sheets, cell sieves and the like, and the defects of small tissue blocks frozen and stored by the freezing carriers, large occupied space during storage in a liquid nitrogen tank, difficulty in batch storage, high price and the like exist to different degrees. And most of the carriers are open ovary freezing carriers, and because the ovary tissues are large, the pollution of pathogens and the like in liquid nitrogen to the tissues is avoided as much as possible, so that the safety of samples is ensured.
