Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a nervous system disease characterized by sensory and motor dysfunction, axonal apoptosis, decreased vascular density, inflammation. At present, surgical treatment, drug cell therapy can be used. Surgical treatment improve independent function scores, promote the recovery of neurons in spinal cord, but only symptoms. Complete SCI has not yet been achieved. However, d...

The first successful umbilical cord haematopoietic stem cell transplant was performed in 1988. The realization of the promise of umbilical cord blood (UCB) created an impetus to store this resource, which was for the most part simply discarded after the baby’s birth. While most experts agree that autologous use of UCB is unlikely at this point in time, private companies have realized the lucrat...

objectives: controversial findings exist regarding the association between neonate gender and umbilical cord blood lipid levels. this study aims to compare the levels of lipids and lipoprotein b-100 in the umbilical cord blood of male and female newborns and assess the impact of these factors on neonatal anthropometric measurements. methods: this cross-sectional study was performed on 75 health...

Introduction. The need for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) as access to hemodialysis is increasing, but the failure rate of AVF maturity also relatively high. Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have anti-inflammatory properties that can occur in homeostasis, repair, and regeneration pathological responses caused by vascular injury. This study aims determine how administering (MSC) affects...

Umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplantation is being used as an alternative source of hematopoietic stem cells for bone marrow reconstitution. Separation, processing and cry preservation of UCB samples in large numbers for storage in cord blood banks ideally needs to be partially automated to allow large numbers of samples to be processed efficiently. Aim of the present study was to carried out ...

BACKGROUND & AIMS The biological role of fatty acids (FA) in the perinatal period is under active investigation. We here describe the application of a simplified microanalytical procedure to compare the FA profile of maternal, umbilical cord and infant whole blood, inclusive of all circulating lipid fractions and cells. METHODS The FA composition has been analyzed with a micromethod in 16 tri...

Umbilical cord blood banking efforts have increased dramatically in the past two decades in response to increasing demand for alternative sources of blood stem cells to support patients requiring hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Transplant centres have accumulated increasing expertise in their understanding of umbilical cord blood characteristics that are associated with improved outcom...

Background: Fetal asphyxia and the consequent neurological damages could be avoided if the risk factors are controlled at earlier stages. Umbilical cord arterial blood gas (UCABG) seems to be related to the Apgar scores, as well as the neonatal morbidity and mortality rates. Therefore, we designed this study to assess the correlation between the Apgar score and UCABG i...
