This study was conducted to evaluate the change in the level of VEGF-C before and after autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation for treatment of Lower limb lymphedema. Patient and methods: Forty patients with lower limb lymphedema were divided into two groups. Group I included 20 patients with chronic lower limb lymphedema who underwent autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation. Group II included 20 patients with chronic lower limb lymphedema who were exposed only to compression therapy as a control group. VEGF-C level in the diseased limbs was measured in both groups at the beginning of the study then 3 and 6 months respectively. Results: Group I included 20 patients, 8 patients were male (40%) and 12 patients were females (60%) with mean age 29.5 ± 12.15 while group II included 20, 10 patients were male (50%) and 10 patients were females (50%) with mean age 39.5 ± 11.5. In group I, the specimens were taken at 3 and 6 months after transplantation showed a marked decrease in the VEGF-C level with statistically significant p value, 0.02 and 0.001 respectively. In group II the level of VEGF-C after compression therapy alone at 3 and 6 months interval showed fluctuation with statistically non-significant p value, 0.64 and 0.55 respectively. Conclusion: VEGF-C is essential for regulation of lymphangiogenesis. The level of VEGF-C was found elevated in patients with lymphedema and decrease after autologous mononuclear bone marrow cells, however these results were statically non-significant.展开更多

This study aimed to investigate the effects of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell(BM-MNC)implantation on neovascularization and the prevention of intrahepatic ITBL in a rabbit model. METHODS:The rabbits were divided into control,experimental model,and cell implantation groups,with 10 in each group. The model of intrahepatic ITBL was established by clamping the hepatic artery and common bile duct.Autologous BM-MNCs were isolated from the tibial plateau by density gradient centrifugation and were implanted through the common hepatic artery.Changes in such biochemical markers as aspartate aminotransferase,alanine aminotransferase,alkaline phosphatase,gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase,total bilirubin and direct bilirubin were measured.Four weeks after operation, cholangiography,histopathological manifestations,differentiation of BM-MNCs,microvessel density and the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor were assessed. RESULTS:Compared with the experimental model group, the BM-MNC implantation group showed superiority in the time to recover normal biochemistry.The microvessel density and vascular endothelial growth factor expression of the implantation group were significantly higher than those of the control and experimental model groups.The ITBL in the experimental model group was more severe than that in the implantation group and fewer new capillary blood vessels occurred around it.CONCLUSIONS:Implanted autologous BM-MNCs can differentiate into vascular endothelial cells,promote neovascu-larization and improve the blood supply to the ischemic bile duct,and this provides a new way to diminish or prevent intrahepatic ITBL after liver transplantation.展开更多

Methods Sixteen miniswine myocardial ischemic reperfusion injury models made by ligation of the distal one third segment of left anterior descending artery for 90 minutes were randomized into 2 groups. In BM-MNC group (n = 9), (3.54±0.90)×108 BM-MNC were intracoronary injected, and in the control group (n = 7), phosphate buffered saline was injected by the same way. Echocardiographic and hemodynamic results, vessel density, and myocardial infarction size were evaluated and compared before and 4 weeks after cell transplantation. Results In BM-MNC group, there were no differences between before and 4 weeks after transplantation in aspects of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), interventricular septal thickness, left ventricular lateral and anterior septal wall thickness, cardiac output, or +dp/dtmax. In control group, LVEF, interventricular septal thickness, left ventricular lateral and anterior septal wall thickness, cardiac output, and +dp/dtmax decreased significantly 4 weeks after transplantation (P < 0.05). Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and –dp/dtmax did not change significantly before and after cell transplantation in both groups. Capillary density in BM-MNC group was greater than that in control group [(13.39 ± 6.96)/high power field vs. (3.50 ± 1.90)/high power field, P < 0.05]. Infarction area assessed by tetrazolium red staining and the infarction percentage decreased in BM-MNC group compared with those in control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions Transplantation of BM-MNC into myocardium with ischemic reperfusion injury increases capillary density and decreases infarction area. It has significantly beneficial effect on cardiac systolic function rather than on diastolic function.展开更多

In control group 1, chest was opened without ligation of coronary artery; in control group 2 and transplantation group, the left anterior descending branch of coronary artery was ligated to establish AMI model. Prepared culture medium and allogenic BM-MNCs suspension were respectively implanted the surrounding area of infracted cardiac muscle via epicardium of con-trol group 2 and transplantation group. Four weeks after the operation, the osteopontin gene (OPN mRNA, P<0.01), typeⅠcollagen (P<0.01) and angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ, P<0.01) content in the left ventricular non-infracted myocardium, and the AngⅡ density in blood plasma (P<0.05) of trans-plantation group and control group 2 were all significantly higher than that of control group 1. In the transplantation group, the myocardial OPN mRNA, type Ⅰ collagen and Ang Ⅱ content of non-infracted zone in left ventricle, and the AngⅡ concentration in blood plasma were all signifi-cantly lower than those of control group 2 (P<0.05 for all). It is concluded that allogenic BM-MNCs transplantation may ease left ventricular remodeling after AMI by inhibiting the synthesis of typeⅠ collagen in the cardiac muscle and down-regulating the expression of AngⅡ and OPN gene.展开更多

METHODS Chronic liver damage was induced in C57BL/6 mice by administration of carbon tetrachloride and ethanol for 6 mo. Bone marrow-derived monocytes isolated by immunomagnetic separation were used for therapy. The cell transplantation effects were evaluated by morphometry,biochemical assessment,immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS CD11b+CD14+ monocyte therapy significantly reduced liver fibrosis and increased hepatic glutathione levels. Levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines,including tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-1β,in addition to pro-fibrotic factors,such as IL-13,transforming growth factor-β1 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 also decreased,while IL-10 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 increased in the monocytetreated group. CD11b+CD14+ monocyte transplantation caused significant changes in the hepatic expression of α-smooth muscle actin and osteopontin. CONCLUSION Monocyte therapy is capable of bringing about improvement of liver fibrosis by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation,as well as increasing antifibrogenic factors.展开更多

文摘Introduction: Vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) is the primary lymphangiogenic factor that stimulates lymphangiogenesis by signaling via specific receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 (VEGFR3). This study was conducted to evaluate the change in the level of VEGF-C before and after autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation for treatment of Lower limb lymphedema. Patient and methods: Forty patients with lower limb lymphedema were divided into two groups. Group I included 20 patients with chronic lower limb lymphedema who underwent autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation. Group II included 20 patients with chronic lower limb lymphedema who were exposed only to compression therapy as a control group. VEGF-C level in the diseased limbs was measured in both groups at the beginning of the study then 3 and 6 months respectively. Results: Group I included 20 patients, 8 patients were male (40%) and 12 patients were females (60%) with mean age 29.5 ± 12.15 while group II included 20, 10 patients were male (50%) and 10 patients were females (50%) with mean age 39.5 ± 11.5. In group I, the specimens were taken at 3 and 6 months after transplantation showed a marked decrease in the VEGF-C level with statistically significant p value, 0.02 and 0.001 respectively. In group II the level of VEGF-C after compression therapy alone at 3 and 6 months interval showed fluctuation with statistically non-significant p value, 0.64 and 0.55 respectively. Conclusion: VEGF-C is essential for regulation of lymphangiogenesis. The level of VEGF-C was found elevated in patients with lymphedema and decrease after autologous mononuclear bone marrow cells, however these results were statically non-significant.

文摘AIM:To determine the long-term efficacy of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells(BM-MNCs)transplantation in terms of improving liver function and reducing complications in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.METHODS:A total of 47 inpatients with decompensated liver cirrhosis were enrolled in this trial,including32 patients undergoing a single BM-MNCs transplantation plus routine medical treatment,and 15 patients receiving medical treatment only as controls.Fortythree of 47 patients were infected with hepatitis B virus.Bone marrow of 80-100 mL was obtained from each patient and the BM-MNCs suspension was transfused into the liver via the hepatic artery.The efficacy of BM-MNCs transplantation was monitored during a24-mo follow-up period.RESULTS:Liver function parameters in the two groups were observed at 1 mo after BM-MNCs transfusion.Prealbumin level was 118.3±25.3 mg/L vs 101.4±28.7 mg/L(P=0.047);albumin level was 33.5±3.6g/L vs 30.3±2.2 g/L(P=0.002);total bilirubin 36.9±9.7 mmol/L vs 45.6±19.9 mmol/L(P=0.048);prothrombin time 14.4±2.3 s vs 15.9±2.8 s(P=0.046);prothrombin activity 84.3%±14.3%vs 74.4%±17.8%(P=0.046);fibrinogen 2.28±0.53 g/L vs1.89±0.44 g/L(P=0.017);and platelet count 74.5±15.7×109/L vs 63.3±15.7×109/L(P=0.027)in the treatment group and control group,respectively.Differences were statistically significant.The efficacy of BM-MNCs transplantation lasted 3-12 mo as compared with the control group.Serious complications such as hepatic encephalopathy and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis were also significantly reduced in BM-MNCs transfused patients compared with the controls.However,these improvements disappeared 24 mo after transplantation.CONCLUSION:BM-MNCs transplantation is safe and effective in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.It also decreases the incidence of serious complications.
文摘Objective To simulate and assess the clinical effect of intracoronary infusion of bone marrow mononuclear cells or peripheral endothelial progenitor cells on myocardial reperfusion injury in mini-swine model.Methods Twenty-three mini-swine with myocardial reperfusion injury were used as designed in the study protocol.About(3.54±0.90)×108 bone marrow mononuclear cells(MNC group,n=9) or(1.16± 1.07)×107 endothelial progenitor cells(EPC group,n=7) was infused into the affected coronary segment of the swine.The other mini-swine were infused with phosphate buffered saline as control(n=7).Echocardio-graphy and hemodynamic studies were performed before and 4 weeks after cell infusion.Myocardium infarction size was calculated.Stem cell differentiation was analyzed under a transmission electromicroscope.Results Left ventricular ejection fraction dropped by 0% in EPC group,2% in MNC group,and 10% in the control group 4 weeks after cell infusion,respectively(P<0.05).The systolic parameters increased in MNC and EPC groups but decreased in the control group.However,the diastolic parameters demonstrated no significant change in the three groups(P>0.05).EPC decreased total infarction size more than MNC did(1.60±0.26 cm2 vs.3.71±1.38 cm2,P<0.05).Undermature endothelial cells and myocytes were found under transmission electromicroscope.Conclusions Transplantation of either MNC or EPC may be beneficial to cardiac systolic function,but might not has obvious effect on diastolic function.Intracoronary infusion of EPC might be better than MNC in controlling infarction size.Both MNC and EPC may stimulate angiogenesis,inhibit fibrogenesis,and differentiate into myocardial cells.
文摘Objective To investigate the therapeutic effectiveness of intracoronary implantation of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNC) in miniswine model of reperfused myocardial infarction. Methods Sixteen miniswine myocardial ischemic reperfusion injury models made by ligation of the distal one third segment of left anterior descending artery for 90 minutes were randomized into 2 groups. In BM-MNC group (n = 9), (3.54±0.90)×108 BM-MNC were intracoronary injected, and in the control group (n = 7), phosphate buffered saline was injected by the same way. Echocardiographic and hemodynamic results, vessel density, and myocardial infarction size were evaluated and compared before and 4 weeks after cell transplantation. Results In BM-MNC group, there were no differences between before and 4 weeks after transplantation in aspects of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), interventricular septal thickness, left ventricular lateral and anterior septal wall thickness, cardiac output, or +dp/dtmax. In control group, LVEF, interventricular septal thickness, left ventricular lateral and anterior septal wall thickness, cardiac output, and +dp/dtmax decreased significantly 4 weeks after transplantation (P < 0.05). Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and –dp/dtmax did not change significantly before and after cell transplantation in both groups. Capillary density in BM-MNC group was greater than that in control group [(13.39 ± 6.96)/high power field vs. (3.50 ± 1.90)/high power field, P < 0.05]. Infarction area assessed by tetrazolium red staining and the infarction percentage decreased in BM-MNC group compared with those in control group (P < 0.05). Conclusions Transplantation of BM-MNC into myocardium with ischemic reperfusion injury increases capillary density and decreases infarction area. It has significantly beneficial effect on cardiac systolic function rather than on diastolic function.
文摘To probe into the influence of transplantation of allogenic bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) on the left ventricular remodeling of rat after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 60 male Wistar rats were evenly divided into three groups at random: control group 1, control group 2 and transplantation group. In control group 1, chest was opened without ligation of coronary artery; in control group 2 and transplantation group, the left anterior descending branch of coronary artery was ligated to establish AMI model. Prepared culture medium and allogenic BM-MNCs suspension were respectively implanted the surrounding area of infracted cardiac muscle via epicardium of con-trol group 2 and transplantation group. Four weeks after the operation, the osteopontin gene (OPN mRNA, P<0.01), typeⅠcollagen (P<0.01) and angiotensin Ⅱ (AngⅡ, P<0.01) content in the left ventricular non-infracted myocardium, and the AngⅡ density in blood plasma (P<0.05) of trans-plantation group and control group 2 were all significantly higher than that of control group 1. In the transplantation group, the myocardial OPN mRNA, type Ⅰ collagen and Ang Ⅱ content of non-infracted zone in left ventricle, and the AngⅡ concentration in blood plasma were all signifi-cantly lower than those of control group 2 (P<0.05 for all). It is concluded that allogenic BM-MNCs transplantation may ease left ventricular remodeling after AMI by inhibiting the synthesis of typeⅠ collagen in the cardiac muscle and down-regulating the expression of AngⅡ and OPN gene.

Results In the experimental group of rats treated with autologous mononuclear fraction of bone marrow,the level of microcirculation compared with the intact group of animals on day 21 was higher than 6. 1% by day 28% ~ 31. 2%; compared with the control group-day 10 increased by 111% at day 21,85. 7% on day 28% ~ 97%. Conclusion Proposed method of treating pathogenically justified and can be recommended for use in clinical practice in the treatment of patients with chronic obliterating diseases of lower limb arteries.

文摘AIM To evaluate the therapeutic effects of bone marrowderived CD11b+CD14+ monocytes in a murine model of chronic liver damage. METHODS Chronic liver damage was induced in C57BL/6 mice by administration of carbon tetrachloride and ethanol for 6 mo. Bone marrow-derived monocytes isolated by immunomagnetic separation were used for therapy. The cell transplantation effects were evaluated by morphometry,biochemical assessment,immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS CD11b+CD14+ monocyte therapy significantly reduced liver fibrosis and increased hepatic glutathione levels. Levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines,including tumor necrosis factor-α,interleukin(IL)-6 and IL-1β,in addition to pro-fibrotic factors,such as IL-13,transforming growth factor-β1 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 also decreased,while IL-10 and matrix metalloproteinase-9 increased in the monocytetreated group. CD11b+CD14+ monocyte transplantation caused significant changes in the hepatic expression of α-smooth muscle actin and osteopontin. CONCLUSION Monocyte therapy is capable of bringing about improvement of liver fibrosis by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation,as well as increasing antifibrogenic factors.
文摘目的观察骨髓动员刺激后自体骨髓单个核细胞移植治疗下肢缺血的初步疗效。方法2005年5月～2005年12月收治下肢缺血35例43侧患肢，男23例，女12例。年龄34～90岁，平均71．3岁。病因：糖尿病下肢缺血30例38侧患肢，单纯动脉硬化闭塞症2例2侧患肢，血栓闭塞性脉管炎3例3侧患肢。其中间歇性跛行期5例5侧患肢；静息痛期15例19侧患肢；组织缺损期15例19侧患肢，其中组织溃疡期9例12侧患肢；组织坏疽期6例7侧患肢。在抽取骨髓前使用粒细胞集落刺激因子刺激骨髓2～3d，每天300μg；抽取骨髓血130-200ml，经分离纯化后再行移植。采用下肢肌肉局部注射13例19侧患肢，下肢动脉腔内注射16例16侧患肢，下肢肌肉局部注射与动脉腔内同时注射6例8侧患肢进行移植。结果术后2个月肢体疼痛改善率为94．7％，冷感改善率为97．1％，肢体麻木改善率为93．3％。5例5侧患肢间歇性跛行距离均有不同程度增加。44．2％患者的踝肱比值（ankle／brachial index ABI）有不同程度增加。39侧患肢行经皮氧分压（transeutaneous oxygen pressure，TeP02）测定，92．3％有不同程度增高。患肢溃疡：在9例11侧患肢中，愈合1侧，明显缩小或缩小3侧，无变化7侧，其中3侧患肢被截肢。术后行血管造影评估25例34侧患肢，91．2％患肢的侧支循环有不同程度增加。并发症：骨髓动员刺激出现发热和轻微乏力各1例，均自行缓解；单个核细胞移植后1周出现轻度心肌梗死1例，药物治疗1周后恢复出院，1个月后因患肢疼痛加重行膝下截肢。32例40侧患肢获随访3412个月，症状消失13侧，明显改善15侧，改善8侧，复发2侧，无效2侧。客观评价标准与术前比较ABI增加25侧；TcPOz测定增加36侧；21侧患肢的血管造影显示90．5％患肢有新生侧支形成；10侧患肢足部溃疡7侧愈合，3侧明显缩小；3侧患肢截除坏疽足趾者于术后2～3个月愈合出院。结论经骨髓动员刺激后的骨髓单个核细胞移植下肢缺血，具有抽取骨髓血少、细胞量多、近期效果好且安全性高的优点，是除自体骨髓单个核细胞移植和外周血干细胞移植外的又一种治疗下肢缺血的新方法。远期效果尚需进一步随访。
