Stem Cells treat paraplegia


Stem Cells treat paraplegia

In December 2010, Japanese scientists announce one important experimental result to the outside: stem cell therapy make one monkey with paraplegia restore health. This is the first time that stem cells are applied to primates and achieve breakthrough development. Currently, stem cells are widely used in clinic and stem cell transplantation has already been hope of recovery of patients with paraplegia.

What types of paraplegia can be treated by stem cells?

Paraplegia refers to one disease during which the feeling, movement, reflection of limbs below the wounded panel disappear and functions of bladder and sphincter loss after spinal cord injury. Stem cells can treat all kinds of paraplegia, such as:

Traumatic paraplegia

Internal injury paraplegia

Complete paraplegia

Incomplete paraplegia

Spastic paraplegia

High level paraplegia

How can stem cells help patients with paraplegia?

The greatest pain of patients with paraplegia is that patients basically loss their self-care ability and they have bedsore, muscle atrophy, limbs paralysis, urinary and fecal incontinence, sensory disorder and others due to lying in bed for a long time. However, the basic reasons for these disorders is that the spinal nerves of patents with paralysis are damaged. Restoring patients’ nerve tissues, rebuilding nervous network and instructing patients’ brain to restore sensing and movement ability are primary treatment and also are expectations of patients. Stem cell therapy brings the most definite answer for rebuilding nervous tissues.

The secret of stem cells in treating paraplegia lies in:

    I. Repair and regeneration. Through induction, stem cells will directly regenerate large amount of neurons and colloid cells, promote regeneration of damaged neurons and then repair affected spinal injuries. On the other hand, stem cells after induction can build connection with other neurons to rebuild neural circuit so as to achieve functional repair of spinal injuries.

   II. Accurate targeting. Through lumbar puncture, stem cells can reach into the spinal cord of patients with paraplegia and regenerate into special nerve cells under microenvironment to repair damaged spinal cord.

Difference between stem cell therapy and traditional treatment in treating paraplegia:

Traditional treatments of paraplegia aims to improve patients’ living quality on the basis of paraplegia and mainly are preventing complications, training patients’ various body position, balance coordination ability and joint movement, and acupuncture therapy.

However, traditional treatment can’t make patients with paralysis of lower limbs stand up. Stem cell therapy brings hope for them. 

The goal of stem cell therapy is restoring consciousness of patients with paraplegia and making patients stand up. Through its homing reaction, stem cells directly move to damaged spinal cord to regenerate neuron cells, rebuild neural circuit and repair damaged spinal cords, thus bringing hope of stand up to patients.

Stem cells make patients with paraplegia stand up, which is not a dream!

According to statistics of Stem Cell Hospital, among paraplegia cases receiving stem cell transplantation operation within five years, 90% of all patients achieve obvious therapeutic effects.

60% of all patients with paraplegia can stand up and walk with the help of sticker after receiving stem cell therapy;

87% of all patients with paraplegia restore part of consciousness in the paraplegia part after receiving stem cell therapy;

90% of all patients with paraplegia avoid bedsore and are improved in muscle atrophy;

95% of all patients with paraplegia have obvious improvement in sleeping quality, mental state and other aspects.

The whole process of stem cell therapy:

After admission, professional medical personnel will provide a series of treatment service for all patients:

1. Competent doctor initially understands patients’ physical condition and past medical history

2. Conduct systemic physical examinations to examine various indexes.

3. Expert team holds a consultation and formulate sound treatment scheme according to patients’ condition.

4. Apply stem cell transplantation operation

5. Postoperative rehabilitation, dietary rehabilitation and rehabilitation exercises.

6. The expert team evaluates various indexes for treatment effects.

7. Finishing treatment, return to home and the competent doctor inform the review time.

Warm prompt: The specific time required for one time treatment shall be in accordance with patients’ actual condition. For your health, we recommend you to make an appointment with our doctors for further understanding.


At your service:
In order to allow you to enjoy better service, during your admission, Stem Cell not only formulates individual treatment scheme for you, but also will formulate detail scheme from diet, exercise and health education so as to maximize the treatment effect.

1. Nursing staff will help patients to turn over, discharge secretions and cough by pressing abdomen for each half a hour.

2. Based on local dietary habit, formulate regular and healthy dietary plan for patients with paraplegia.

3. Health Club regularly holds communication meeting of patients with paraplegia

4. Three times of doctor’s visit at 9:00, 16:00, 21:00 everyday.

5. Specialists in Chinese medicine will formulate corresponding rehabilitation plan according to your disease.

6. Every Wednesday, experts in paraplegia, experts of stem cells and other expert teams make grand rounds.

7. 24 hours translators assist to explain your disease and treatment development and transfer your requirements

Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy

Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy Symptoms of cerebral palsy are more obvious in newborn babies but parents tend to think that these symptoms are simple slow development, eventually missing the best treatment time. Parents shall take a look and carefully understand symptoms of cerebral palsy. Main symptoms of cerebral palsy 1. Movement disorder When moving, their hands and feet are not coordinated and they are physically weak. Patients can’t grasp objects with their hands, can’t walk with feet, even are unable to roll over, sit up or stand and can’t chew or swallow normally. 2. Disorder of gestures Patients have gesture abnormalities and poor posture stability and still can’t raise head straightly when they are three months old. Head tends to lean on one side or sways back and forth. Patients are unable to turn over when six months old and can’t sit steadily. Children with cerebral palsy don’t like bath and it is difficult to break their fist apart when washing...

Stem cell anti-aging

Why do we age  and how we can stop it Aging is a complex process in which stem cells and fibroblasts are progressively damaged by stress, nutrition, and lifestyle, until they finally die.  Eventually, your body loses its ability to heal properly and some chronic problems may occur, especially with the kidney, liver, and digestive tract.  These problems can affect not only your energy, vitality, sex drive, and sleep quality, but also the apparent health of the skin on your face, neck, chest, and hands. Declining functionality of the fibroblasts can also lead to poor collagen level, wrinkles, and saggy dry skin.  - By the age of 35, your cell production rate drops by 45 percent. - At 50, your cell production rate is cut in half. - By the time you've reached 65, cell production rate is down by a whopping 90 percent. How to treat the core causes of aging One of the most common ways to get rid of visibly aging skin is plastic surgery. H...

Lack of stem cells may be the key to recurrent miscarriage

图片
A new study suggests that the lack of stem cells in the uterine wall may lead to recurrent miscarriage. "We have found that there are certain defects in the uterine wall of patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion," said Jan Brosens, leader of the research team, who is a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at Warwick University. “It is conceivable that we can achieve the desire to become pregnant by correcting these defects in patients. In fact, this may be the only way to prevent miscarriage in this situation,” Brosens said at a university press conference. 15% to 25% of pregnancies will end in miscarriage. Repeated abortion occurs in 1 of 100 mothers. Among them, the researchers point out that recurrent abortion means that three or more consecutive pregnancy ends in abortion. At the same time, scientists say stem cells have the potential to differentiate into many different types of cells. In the study, the team analyzed endometrial samples f...
