background: chronic graft versus host disease (cgvhd) is one of the most serious potential complications of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. study design and method: we analyzed the incidence of cgvhd and its associated risk factors in a group of 161 iranian recipients of hla-identical sibling transplants, with at least 90 days post-transplantation survival. in the majority of cases (n=7...

background:  renal transplantation is the best choose in the end stage renal disease (esrd), and acute rejection and graft dysfunction remain major challenges in the worldwide, even with the advent of new immunosuppressive drugs. the novel cell-based anti-rejection treatments have been studied by using different stem cell sources. in this study, transplantation of autologous-bone-marrow-derived...

in this center, from 1991 to 2002, 89 chronic myelogenous leukemic (cml) patients, age ranging between 8-48 years with a median age of 29, underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. eighty-eight patients were in the first chronic phase of disease. twenty-three patients received bone marrow transplantation (bmt) and 66 patients received peripheral blood stem cell transplantations (pbsct)...

Background Stem cell transplantation has become as a novel treatment  for end-stage kidney, lung, heart , liver diseases and several hematologic disorders. Improved survival of transplant recipients has raised awareness of post-transplant complications. One of these complications is transplant-related osteoporosis. Methods  In this manuscript we review prevention methods for transplant-relat...

osteoarthritis (oa) is a prevalent chronic disease impacting on quality of life and has societal and economical burden increasing with age. yet, no confirmed pharmacological, biological or surgical therapy could prevent the progressive destruction of oa joint. mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) with immunosuppressive activities emerged a potential therapy. we describe a magnetic resonance images (mr...

introduction: transplantation of bone marrow stromal cells (bmscs) or schwann cells (scs) can increase axonal regeneration in peripheral nerve injuries. based on our previous investigations, the goal of the present work was to examine the individual and synergistic effects of the two different cell types in sciatic nerve injury . we pursued to evaluate the effects of bmscs and scs co-transplant...

the purpose of the present randomized clinical trial study was to compare the effectiveness of bovine porous bone mineral (bpbm) with and without plasma rich in growth factors (prgf) in the treatment of mandibular class ii furcation defects.in seven patients, nine pairs of symmetric buccal or lingual mandibular class ii furcation defects were treated. in each patient, one defect received bpbm (...

Eighteen patients, twelve men and six women, with aplastic anemia underwent allogenic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) from HLA-matched siblings during the period of 1990 to 1996. The conditioning regimen was cyclophosphamide with or without busulfan, depending on the cause of aplasia. Antilymphocyte globulin (ALG) and cyclosporine were used for rejection and acute GVHD prophylaxis, respe...
