The diabetic fot/ulcer is the cause of high morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Generally, medical treatment of diabetic foot/ulcer is ineffective and stem cell implantation is an important option in the treatment. Here, we present a 69 years old man admitted to hospital due to a 3 × 4 cm wound in the plantar surface of left foot. Autologous stem cells were applied intralesionally into diabetic ulcers. The lesion shrunken 50 % at the 16th week and there is a wound under the left foot at 32nd week. Intralesionally autologous stem cell application was useful and safe without adverse course in patients with diabetic foot/ulcer.

Stem Cell Therapy Improves the Outcome of Liver Resection in Cirrhotics

Article

Author: Ossama Fouad ; Alaa Ismail ; Andaleeb Chowdhury ; Abdulhafez Selim ; Amr Abdelnasser

INTRODUCTION:

Significant proportions of liver cirrhotic patients develop hepatocellular carcinoma and have to undergo hepatic resection. The compromised cirrhotic liver cannot withstand further removal of hepatic tissue, thus, leading to postoperative complication and death.

METHODS:

In this study, we enrolled 20 patients having liver cirrhosis with hepatocellular carcinoma and randomly assigned them into two groups to receive autologous stem cells or placebo.

RESULTS:

After 3 weeks, all participants underwent liver resection and were followed for 12 weeks postoperative. We observed that the group receiving preoperative stem cell therapy had shown a significant improvement in all parameters of liver function and had no postoperative complications compared to the group treated with placebo, which showed no improvement in liver parameters and had postoperative complications.

DISCUSSION:

In conclusion, autologous stem cell therapy can improve the surgical outcome in cirrhotic livers and should be considered as an adjuvant treatment in such patients undergoing hepatic resection.
