Mesenchymal Stem Cell-derived Pleiotropic Factors(Chinese People's Liberation Army General Hospital)

Poor incision healing is a common complication after abdominal surgery, mainly manifested as incision dehiscence, subcutaneous fat liquefaction, malnutrition, and incision infection. Poor healing of the incision will increase the patient's pain and prolong the patient's hospital stay, and the choice of wound treatment is closely related to the wound healing effect. Mesenchymal stem cells mainly rely on paracrine effects to exert their therapeutic effects and obtain better therapeutic effects in wound healing. Here, the pleiotropic factors secreted from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs-PFs) will be used to treat patients with poor healing after surgery to evaluate its effectiveness and safety.

Chronic wounds do not heal for prolonged periods of time with the significant financial burden on the healthcare system. It has become increasingly essential to improve our clinical treatments. The most promising potential treatment options rely on stem cell-based therapies. A large body of evidence indicates that mesenchymal stem cells can promote wound closure of chronic wounds in animal models and in preclinical studies. MSCs efficacy depends mostly on their paracrine activity. All the bioactive factors and cytokines in MSCs secretions constitute can be collected in the conditioned medium. In here, stem cell-derived conditioned medium was further made into a lyophilized powder. Patients with chronic wounds were enrolled. The wounds in control group treated with fibroblast growth factor commonly used in clinical practice. The wounds in experimental group treated with lyophilized powder. The effectiveness and safety of lyophilized powder will evaluate for chronic wounds.
