The Comparison of Active and Total Transforming Growth Factor-E2 Concentration on Fresh and Cryopreservation Amnion Membrane
ABSTRACT: The aim of this
study is to find the difference of TGF-E2 level in fresh amnion membrane and
preserved amnion membrane using cryopreservation method. This study used one
group pretest-posttest design and statistical analysis was performed using
Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test if the samples had no normal distribution with level
of significance ofD= 0.05. Eleven samples of amnion membrane were used to
measure active TGF-E2 level before and after preservation using
cryopreservation method, and 13 samples of amnion membrane were used to measure
total TGF-E2 level before and after preservation using cryopreservation method.
TGF-E2 level in fresh amnion membrane was higher than that in amnion membrane
preserved using cryopreservation method. There is no significant reduction of
TGF-E2 level in amnion membrane preserved using cryopreservation method.
