background: stem cell therapy is a new treatment option for different diseases. the aim of this systematic review is assessing the articles that focus on sct in iran and evaluate the amount of their success, failure and complication. methods: systematic search was conducted for finding english and persian papers (controlled trials and cohort studies with follow up) published before march 2015. ...

the increased risk of hemolytic reactions and erythrocyte recovery delay in abo incompatible hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) is well established. effects of abo incompatibility on transplantation outcomes is evaluated in this study. we prospectively followed 501 patients undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation according to abo compatibility groups of minor, major and bidi...

introduction: allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (hsct) is the only therapeutic modality capable of correcting the hematologic manifestations of fanconi anemia (fa). the development  of well  tolerated,  immunosuppressive  conditioning  regimens  for fa patients  undergoing hsct has proven to be a rather challenging task for hematologists. methods: we analyzed the outcome of 30 fa pa...

conclusions in iran, hsct has been successfully adapted in routine clinical care. recently, new methods such as double cord blood and haploidentical transplantation have been used to treat many life-threatening diseases. results about 78.2% of the patients (2530 of 3237) remained alive between one to 211 months after stem cell transplantation. nearly, 21.8% (707) of our patients died after stem...

hydroxymethylglutaryl co-enzyme a reductase inhibitors, also known as statins, are a class of anti-hyperlipidemic agents. these drugs have been employed vastly to reduce the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disorders. soon after their introduction, benefits other than their primary actions were discovered. along with these pleiotropic properties, a series of mainly favorable effects ha...

background: this study explored the state of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) recipient patients and problems experienced by them and nurse about these state and problems, in iran. methods: qualitative content analysis was used for analyzing semi-structured interviews with 12 hsct recipient patients and 18 nurses. results: three main categories described the hsct state and problem...

hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct) has been practiced for more than 30 years. hematological malignanciesare the main indications for this treatment. however, its indications in adults are different from children.advances in chemotherapy and target therapy have improved treatment outcome of some of the very high riskcancers, and changed indications of hsct in children. multi-center c...

background: early clinical investigations indicate that an infusion of autologous bone-marrow cells into the infarct-related coronary artery is feasible after acute myocardial infarction. there is increasing evidence that cell transplantation may improve the perfusion and contractile function of the ischemic myocardium . the present study reports primarily the safety of intracoronary bone marro...

introduction: neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in children, accounting for 8% to 10% of all childhood cancers. significantly, autologous transplantation appeared to have the largest impact on survival for the high risk subset of patients, such as those with n-myc amplified metastatic disease diagnosed after age 2 years. patients and methods: this study includes high ris...

peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (pbsct) is an effective treatment for hematological malignancies. mobilization of peripheral blood progenitor cells performs in different ways among transplantation centers. forceful mobilization schedules are comprised of growth factor alone, chemotherapy along with growth factor and also, a newly combination of novel agent such as plerixafor with any...
