Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells Transplantation in Treatment of Established Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: A Case Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BDP) is an incurable disease. This study reports the successful treatment of a 30-week-old neonate with established bronchopulmonary dysplasia by bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM MNCs) transplantation. CASE REPORT The preterm infant with BPD requiring continuous oxygen administration for 4 months post-delivery underwent BM MNCs. Bone marrow was obtained from the patient's iliac crests and mononuclear cells were isolated by density gradient centrifugation method. BM MNCs were delivered via endotracheal and intravenous routes. After BM MNCs transplantation, remarkable improvements were observed in oxygen saturation and lung CT as the infant was gradually weaned off oxygen supply. CONCLUSIONS BM MNCs transplantation offers promising treatment of BPD.

متن کاملBone marrow stromal cells and their application in neural injuries
Background: This article reviews experimental and clinical studies in which neural injuries repaired with bone marrow stromal cells. History: Bone marrow contains two kinds of stem cells: hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic (stromal) stem cell. In vitro studies indicate that bone marrow stromal cells have the capacity of differentiation into other cells (such as neural cell) under treatment wit...

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...

High-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (SCT) have become an effective care for many patients with hematological malignancies. Harvesting the stem cells is one the most important parts of SCT. The two most commonly used mobilization regimens are the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) or G-CSF plus chemotherapy. However, about 10-30% of patients are unab...
