Treatment of ischemic limbs by transplantation of G-CSF stimulated bone marrow cells in diabetic rabbits.

PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of autologous transplantation of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) stimulated bone marrow mononuclear cells in the treatment of diabetic lower limb ischemic disease in a rabbit model. METHODS The diabetic model was produced by intravenous injection of 5% alloxan into New Zealand white rabbits. The lower limb ischemia model was created by femoral ar...

Abstract: Directional Freezing and Vitrification of Whole Limbs for Future Transplantation and Organ Banking

University of Wisconsin (UW) solution for 3 hours prior to transplant. Experimental group (n=24) flaps were perfused with MP/HBOC for 17 hours at a subnormothermic temperature of 21°C. Flaps were monitored daily for clinical evidence of viability and biopsied per protocol with an end point of 17 hours for ex vivo only, 14 days for autotransplants and 60 days for allotransplants. The allotranspl...

The development of artificial limbs for lower limbs.

This project represents a continuous effort of Mauch Laboratories toward the improvement of artificial limbs, particularly for the lower limbs. Work on five items has been underway : A semivoluntary Swing and Stance Control knee mechanism (S-N-S System), an automatically controlled Tri-axial Ankle mechanism, a fully Voluntarily Actuated Swing and Stance Control knee mechanism, a mechanical low-...
