Abstract:

ABSTRACTThe history of tissue banking is as old as the use of skin grafting for resurfacing of burn wounds. Beneficial effects of tissue grafts led to wide spread use of auto and allograft for management of varied clinical conditions like skin wounds, bone defects following trauma or tumor ablation. Availability of adequate amount of tissues at the time of requirement was the biggest challenge that forced clinicians to find out techniques to preserve the living tissue for prolonged period of time for later use and thus the foundation of tissue banking was started in early twentieth century. Harvesting, processing, storage and transportation of human tissues for clinical use is the major activity of tissue banks. Low temperature storage of processed tissue is the best preservation technique at present. Tissue banking organization is a very complex system and needs high technical expertise and skilled personnel for proper functioning in a dedicated facility. A small lapse/deviation from the established protocol leads to loss of precious tissues and or harm to recipients as well as the risk of transmission of deadly diseases and tumors. Strict tissue transplant acts and stringent regulations help to streamline the whole process of tissue banking safe for recipients and to community as whole.

Abstract:

Tissue resources have become an important component of the infrastructure of institutions as well as companies performing biomedical research. Such tissue resources may be in the model of a bank, collecting a limited type of tissues and processing and storing them following a specific protocol. Such banks or archives may be associated with a clinical study or may function indepedently. An alternative type of tissue resource is utilized by many institutions and cancer centers. In this model, the investigator specifies the methods by which selected tissues are to be collected, processed and stored. In such a “prospective model”, initially developed at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the Ohio State University in the late 1970's and adopted by the Cooperative Human Tissue Network in 1986, specific types of tissues are not collected unless requested by an investigator. At some sites, both a prospective and an archival (bank) model are followed. This article describes an informatics approach needed to support a prospective tissue resource. It is by necessity more complicated than a model which supports a tissue bank but also can be used by a tissue bank. Of great importance is the approach to vocabulary and common data elements needed to support the informatics system of a prospective tissue resource, especially if the informatics system is to be used by a variety of personnel with greatly varying educational backgrounds.

Abstract:

A large number of experiments in biomedical research are carried out on tissues, but, even though the results should be applicable to humans, these tissues are mainly of animal origin. The difficulty encountered in obtaining human organs and tissues is an acknowledged problem: not enough human tissues are available to meet research needs. We are introducing the ATRA Project, with the purpose of supporting progress in biomedical research in Switzerland through the establishment of one or more human tissue banks, which will be able to find, treat, preserve and supply human material. Where similar projects have already been launched, concerns have been expressed that donation for research purposes might compete with donation for transplantation, but most organs and tissues are in any case non-transplantable. Surplus surgical tissue is considered “sanitary waste”, and must be treated according to specific regulations for collection, packaging, transport, treatment and disposal. A human tissue bank would not only abate the costs of treating sanitary waste, but would actually turn what is now considered waste into a resource which could be used to save human and animal lives.

Abstract:

In the United States, standards for cell and tissue processing have been developed by a variety of professional tissue banking organizations. Several organizations, including the American Association of Tissue Banks and the Eye Bank Association of America, have accreditation programs for member institutions. Some governmental agencies, such as the New York State Department of Health and the Food and Drug Administration, have adopted strict regulations, which may subject noncompliant tissue banks to certain enforcement actions. Professional tissue banking organizations have also issued guidelines that provide recommendations for implementing efficacious policies and procedures for the acquisition, processing, storage, and distribution of tissues.

Abstract:

Use of musculoskeletal allografts has become increasingly popular, with widespread use among knee surgeons. The advantages and disadvantages of their use have been documented. In the knee, allografts are used for ligament reconstruction, meniscal transplantation, and articular surface reconstruction. The purpose of this review is to present issues surrounding the allograft industry, including regulation of tissues and tissue banks and procurement, processing, sterilization, and storage of allograft tissue. Tissue bank regulation is ultimately under the jurisdiction and authority of the Food and Drug Administration; some individual states regulate tissue banks. The American Association of Tissue Banks is a scientific organization that encourages education, research, and voluntary accreditation of tissue banks. It promotes safety and standards for retrieval, processing, storage, and distribution of transplantable human tissue. Allograft tissues are generally harvested and processed aseptically, which may not prevent contamination. Tissue sterilization is difficult and controversial. Tissue banks historically have used one of two methods of sterilization, ethylene oxide or gamma radiation. Both methods have risks and benefits. Newer methods of sterilization are being developed. Allograft tissue that is not transplanted fresh can be freeze-dried or deep frozen for storage. Ultimately, allograft transplantation in the knee facilitates knee form and function and enhances the patient's quality of life. Orthopaedic surgeons who use allograft tissue must understand the tissue banking process to provide safe and effective tissues to their patients.

Abstract:

The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC) has established a national bank for tissue, serum and blood from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Investigators from across the country submit material to the bank together with clinical data. Investigators may access their own patient information from the bank for their own study purposes, but the distribution of tissue is restricted to specific CCFC-funded projects. Currently, tissues are being collected from newly diagnosed, untreated IBD patients to support a recent initiative aimed at characterizing microbes in colonic and ileal biopsies from such patients. In the future, criteria for the submission of tissue will be tailored to specific research questions. This bank is believed to be the first national bank of its kind dedicated to research in Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.

Abstract:

The Peterborough Hospital Human Tissue Bank, based in the Cellular Pathology Department of the District Hospital, has been successful in supplying commercial biomedical companies with human tissue for research purposes. Tissue is obtained from routine surgical specimens sent to the laboratory for diagnostic testing and from cadaveric donors examined in the hospital mortuary. All tissue is obtained legally and with the full informed consent of the patient, donor or relative, as appropriate. The mechanism of retrieving, storing and supplying human tissue is described. In publishing the activities of the tissue bank at Peterborough, we wish to encourage others to consider the availability of human tissue in their locality. We recommend a strict legal and ethical code, particularly in relation to fully informed consent.

Abstract:

Mounting interest in Europe over the incorporation of the human biological model in the laboratory has been fuelled by scientific advances and the much improved accessibility to human tissue. The collection of tissue is complicated by a host of ethical considerations and lack of public awareness of the benefits of donation to research and education. In the United States, the International Institute for the Advancement of Medicine (IIAM) has been successful in networking the cooperation of organ banks, tissue banks and hospitals, to collect otherwise discarded anatomical gifts with consent from the donor or donor's next of kin for medical research applications. IIAM is a non-profit, non-transplant anatomic bank that is provisionally licensed in the state of New York- one of the first states to implement comprehensive licensing procedures. Over the last year, IIAM has been serving a growing number of investigators in Europe with both fresh and frozen preparations. However, the various logistical problems in transAtlantic transportation and economic considerations warrant the exploration of establishing a satellite bank in Europe that would entail a more efficient and cost effective service to this region. This permanent facility would have access to IIAM's frozen inventory of tissue and tissue-derived protein samples, and would serve to facilitate the provision of fresh tissue, cells and slices to European researchers requiring such materials for their studies.

Abstract:

In order to maximize biochemical, neurochemical, molecular, and pathologic information from patients with Rett syndrome, a uniform procedure has been developed for the conduct of the postmortem examination. Tissue should be prepared for freezing, for electron microscopy studies, and for standard histologic examination. For the purposes of uniformity, three central repositories for necropsy materials have been established and are available at all times. In the event of the death of a patient with Rett syndrome, parents who consent to necropsy should request that materials be handled according to the protocol and transported under appropriate conditions to the central repository. The National Neurological Research Bank (Los Angeles), the Brain Tissue Bank (Belmont, Mass), and the Department of Neuropathology at Johns Hopkins Hospital (Batimore) have agreed to serve as repositories for tissues. A committee of the International Rett Syndrome Association medical advisory panel will monitor this process in cooperation with the directors of the respective tissue banks.

Abstract:

AbstractThe Missouri Osteochondral Preservation System (MOPS) has been reported to effectively preserve osteochondral allografts (OCAs) twice as long as current tissue bank protocols in preclinical studies. However, viability of OCAs preserved using the MOPS protocol at the time of clinical implantation compared with the current standard of care (SOC) is not known. Viable chondrocyte density (VCD) at time of transplantation will be significantly higher in OCAs preserved using the MOPS protocol compared with OCAs preserved using the current tissue bank protocol and will significantly affect clinical complication rates. Femoral condyle OCAs were obtained from American Association of Tissue Banks accredited tissue banks for clinical use. The OCAs were stored using the current SOC protocol for each respective tissue bank (n = 26) or the MOPS protocol (n = 50). Nonimplanted femoral condyle OCA tissue normally discarded after surgery was collected and assessed for VCD within 1 hour after surgery. Control OCA samples (n = 34) were obtained from one tissue bank. VCD was determined using a validated cell viability assay. Patients (n = 76) had in-clinic follow-up at least 6 months after OCA transplantation. At the time of clinical implantation, mean storage time for OCAs in the SOC cohort was 20.4 days, and in the MOPS cohort was 44.2 days, after procurement. VCD in OCAs in the MOPS cohort was not significantly different from normal healthy cartilage VCD and 100% were above the desired minimum essential level 70% of control VCD at the time of transplantation. VCD in OCAs in the SOC cohort was significantly (p < 0.001) lower than controls and MOPS, and only 27% were above 70% of control VCD at the time of transplantation. MOPS preserves OCA chondrocyte viability at significantly higher levels than current tissue bank storage protocols for a longer period of time after procurement. All MOPS-preserved OCAs exceeded minimum essential VCD levels for up to 56 days after procurement.

Abstract:

The tissue bank at Bai Jerbai Wadia Hospital for Children was officially instated by the Department of Plastic Surgery and Burns on July 15, 2021, in compliance with the Transplantation of Human Organ and Tissue Act – 1994, amended in 2011. Our tissue bank follows the guidelines laid down by the Regional and State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization, Mumbai (ROTTO SOTTO), for processes that involve screening, testing, processing, storage, and distribution of human tissues. This ensures that safe tissues of reliable quality for human transplantation are made available. The tissue bank has successfully cleared its inspection by the state government. This is just the beginning of our long journey. We started this journey with the preservation of amnion. We hope to process and preserve different allografts such as skin, bone, tendons, small joints, dura mater, and heart valves that will cater to the needs of our transplant services. We are also working on overcoming barriers by creating public awareness on placenta donation with the help of flyers. As we move forward, we will expand our boundaries for the greater benefit of patients and doctors.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction Herein we present details of the standard procedures and operations of the Leukemia Sample Bank (LSB) as a guide to others desiring to establish their own bank. The availability of primary tissue samples to evaluate the molecular biology and pathogenesis of leukemia, as well as to develop and evaluate novel therapeutic strategies, has been instrumental to advances in the leukemia field. The Department of Leukemia at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) improves the treatment of patients with leukemias by providing basic, translational, and clinical scientists access to clinically annotated fresh and frozen primary tissue samples to test and validate their hypotheses. The LSB was created to collect, process, and maintain tissue specimens from patients with known or suspected hematologic malignancies, and also maintains a comprehensive, prospective, interactive database with detailed clinical and pathologic data and facilitates distribution of samples to various investigators. Bank Design and Activity An MDACC protocol was IRB approved in 2001 to facilitate primary leukemia tissue collection, storage, and distribution. The protocol serves as a "front door" consent to the Leukemia Department for approaching all new patients that come to the Leukemia Center. The protocol allows for use of tissue samples for current and future research projects related to researching hematological malignancies. Investigators utilize a separate IRB approved "back door" protocol, with a waiver of consent, to obtain samples for various projects. The LSB protocol thus serves as a single-sign research consent for patients, avoiding consent "fatigue" and ennui. A bank usage committee reviews request for samples and determines which to approve, including collaborations that are intra departmental, intra institution, inter academic institutional and with pharmaceutical institutions. A priority of usage is given to MDACC leukemia department investigators, other academic departments inside and outside MDACC, and finally to pharmaceutical institutions. Our policy is not to release the last vial of material for any particular patient. In the past year, these efforts have resulted in 93% of patients being approached, 82% providing consent, and only 11% declining. While most patients are motivated to consent to help advance research and improve treatments, hematology banks are unique in that they experience barriers to consent that solid tissue banks may not. Once blood and bone marrow samples are obtained, samples are processed per disease specific algorithms on the same day of collection to yield disease enriched material such as DNA, RNA, protein, serum or viable cells. Same day processing removes cryopreservation effects on labile analytes (mRNA, miRNA, protein) that could arise from a freeze thaw cycle. Material is distributed fresh to investigators or cryopreserved for later use. Samples are collected serially at the time of diagnosis, during therapy, in remission, or at relapse. The LSB provides annotated clinical data for any distributed samples. In support of the bank, a database records sample collection and archive details, and provides "chain of custody". A query tool was also developed allows for searching sample inventory by demographic, clinical, and sample characteristics, which also links to the Leukemia Clinical Data Repository (LCDR), to allow for searching of samples by leukemia specific characteristics such as diagnosis, prior treatments, and cytogenetic abnormalities. Results The LSB is one of the world's largest leukemia repositories and serves as a valuable local and national resource. The very high levels of patients consenting to participate make the holdings truly representative of all leukemias. The serial samples collected from patients allow for comparison between diagnosis and relapse states of disease. The ability to provide detailed annotation of clinical, laboratory, and outcome data further increases the value of research done with these samples. The LSB continues to collect valuable samples for use in research related to improving patient outcomes for patients with hematological malignancies. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract:

Background: Fresh osteochondral allografts (OCAs) are limited in availability. The Missouri Osteochondral Allograft Preservation System (MOPS) has been reported to effectively preserve OCAs twice as long as current tissue bank protocols in preclinical studies. Hypothesis: The viable chondrocyte density (VCD) in OCAs preserved for up to 70 days using the MOPS will not be significantly different from day 0, and the VCD in MOPS-preserved OCAs will be significantly higher than for standard tissue bank preservation. Media changes during preservation will significantly improve the VCD. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Femoral condyles harvested from qualified donors (n = 12) were quartered (n = 48), assigned to 1 of 4 treatment groups (tissue bank protocol at 4°C or MOPS at 25°C, with or without media changes), and preserved for 0, 28, 56, or 70 days and assessed for the VCD and histopathological characteristics. In addition, osteochondral explants were created from the femoral condyles of 12 donors (n = 36 explants), assigned to the same groups and time points, and tested for biomechanical properties. Results: MOPS-preserved OCAs maintained the day 0 VCD through 56 days. OCAs stored using current tissue bank protocols had a significantly lower VCD compared with day 0 and the MOPS by day 28. OCA histological and biomechanical properties did not significantly change from day 0 for any group. Conclusion: The MOPS preserved essential OCA viability and quality at significantly higher levels than current tissue bank protocols for at least 56 days after procurement. Clinical Relevance: Improving the viability and duration of OCA preservation provides potential benefits to tissue banks, donor families, surgeons, and patients with respect to tissue use, financial costs, and outcomes.

Abstract:

TPS6625 Background: The future of biobanks is often uncertain due to sporadic funding. A survey of 456 biobank administrators found that they consider the loss of funding to be either a "massive (40%)" or "moderate (31%)" concern. Only 26% of biobanks reported having a plan in the event of closure (Cadigan et al., Life Sciences, Society and Policy, 2013). Biospecimen donors’ views on how they want their tissue handled following biobank closure is unknown. Our study will be the first to determine how biospecimen donors want their data and biological materials handled if their biobanks were to close. We believe this report of 100 biospecimen donors’ views will be useful to researchers and tissue bank administrators in creating contingency tissue bank closure plans that incorporate biospecimen donors’ perspectives. Methods: We will complete accrual of 100 oncology biospecimen donors (current accrual is 65 patients) at one institution by interviewing them about their views of bank closure and preferences for the handling of their tissue post-closure. The interview asks participants if they have a preference for the handling of their tissue and information in the event of bank closure, and if so, if they prefer transfer of their materials to another tissue bank or destruction. Feelings about closure are captured in three categories: sad/disappointed, angry/frustrated, and other negative emotions. The effect of tissue bank closure upon trust in medical research is captured in three categories: decreases trust, does not decrease trust, and may decrease trust under certain circumstances. We ask the participants to rank the following options for transfer of their tissue and information: transfer to another local academic tissue bank, to a for-profit or pharmaceutical bank, to an international bank, or to a national bank. We also ask if any of these options are deemed absolutely unacceptable. Results: NA Conclusions: NA

Abstract:

Advances in fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) techniques allows for a whole range of procedures on these limited sources of tissue. Where fresh aspirates are not readily available, archival FNAC samples had also been used for clinical diagnoses, molecular profiling, and disease monitoring with impressive results. Nonetheless, legitimate concerns exist regarding the reliability of these banked specimens. Increased demands on human tissues in response to the rapid acceleration on emerging scientific platforms will probably make tissue bank creation derived from archival FNAC a priority. To highlight its future prospects as a resource for tissue banking, this paper provides an overview of the use of archival FNAC in clinical situations and ancillary studies. It is concluded that tissue banks of archival FNAC specimens might have great promise in optimizing patient care and translational research.

Abstract:

With the financial assistance from two donors, we have established a neurodegenerative disease brain bank at the University of Calgary. At autopsy, tissues from anatomically specific regions are frozen in liquid nitrogen vapour and stored in small, bar-coded cryovials. Cases include patients with dementia, movement disorders, demyelinating diseases, and normal controls. We prepare additional FFPE blocks for diagnosis or banking. Sampling includes all major areas of cortex and most subcortical structures. All brains, including “normal” controls, are characterized with a basic set of stains and major classification schemata are used for Alzheimer and Lewy body diseases. These tissues are available to investigators with IRB-approved research on human tissuesControl tissue is important in the study of age-associated neurodegeneration. We preserve tissues from areas of brain that either are severely or minimally affected by neurodegeneration (e.g. in Alzheimer disease, Brodmann areas 9 and 17, respectively). In our “normal” aging cohort, which includes patients with no described neurodegenerative diseases, we find frequent evidence of low-stage Alzheimer or Lewy body related pathological changes. We also find relatively frequent small vessel disease, which in part relates to our preferential selection of patient’s who died suddenly.In preliminary studies, we have examined amyloid plaque structure with confocal microscopy using beta-sheet sensitive dyes and have studied the distribution of different chaperones in normal brain.
