چکیده

Objective. CD34-positive bone marrow mononuclear cells (MNCs) have been successfully used for regeneration of small arteries in Buerger’s disease. The objective of this study is to examine the angiogenetic potential of autologous MNCs from bone marrow and peripheral blood implanted into the ischaemic digits from patients with connective tissue diseases. Methods. Three patients with systemic sclerosis, two with mixed connective tissue disease, and one with CREST syndrome were enrolled who had painful ischaemic digits with necrosis refractory to several vasodilators including intravenous prostaglandins. MNCs obtained from 7 ml/kg bone marrow blood and 400ml peripheral blood were implanted into 20 different sites in palms and/or soles. The study was performed open-labelled. Results. Pain in the numeric rating scale improved remarkably up to 1 month after implantation of bone marrow or peripheral MNCs to the same extent, although no significant differences were found in transcutaneous oxygen pressure and thermogram before and after the implantation. Bone marrow MNCs increased blood flow of the hand determined by intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography, while peripheral MNCs did not. Conclusions. Implantation of autologous MNCs from peripheral and bone marrow into the ischaemic digits was so effective in pain-relief and more clinical trials would be warranted to see whether this could be a new treatment modality for angiogenesis in connective tissue diseases as in Buerger’s disease.

بررسی اثر داروی ضد سرطانی پومالیدومید بر فعالیت حیاتی و القای آپوپتوز سلول‌های تک هسته‌ای مغز استخوان

Background and Objective: Pomalidomide - a combination of Lenalidomide and Thalidomide drugs- is one of the newest anticancer drugs. Pomalidomide induces apoptosis in cancer cells. Furthermore, few studies indicating its relatively low cytotoxic effects on normal peripheral blood cells have been carried out. However, there is yet no information about the effects of Pomalidomide on bone marrow c...

In vitro Effect of Pomalidomide on Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells from Multiple Myeloma Patients

Background: Many features of anticancer drugs, including cytotoxicity and/or cytokine induction, are studied using cell lines orhuman blood leukocytes. However, in a disease such as multiple myeloma, most cancerous cells are resided within bone marrowmononuclear cells. In the present study, we investigated the effect of pomalidomide on apoptosis and IL-2 production of bonemarrow mononuclear cel...

  Stem cells are naïve or master cells. This means they can transform into special 200 cell types as needed by body, and each of these cells has just one function. Stem cells are found in many parts of the human body, although some sources have richer concentrations than others. Some excellent sources of stem cells, such as bone marrow, peripheral blood, cord blood, other tissue stem cells and ...
