Allogenic Bone Marrow Stem Cells Transplantation in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis

October 18, 2010 updated by: Sun Yat-sen University

The Efficacy of Allogenic Bone Marrow Stem Cells Transplantation in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis Resulting From Chronic Hepatitis B

The objective of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of allogenic bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation in patients with liver cirrhosis. The evaluation of the efficacy includes the level of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), total bilirubin (TB),prothrombin time (PT), albumin (ALB), prealbumin(PA), precollagenⅢ(PCⅢ), collagenⅣ(Ⅳ-C), laminin(LN), hyaluronidase(HN), liver histological improvement before and 1 week to 1 year after transplantation. Child-Pugh scores and clinical symptoms were also observed simultaneously.
