Endothelial progenitor cells in the treatment of lower extremity ischemic disease / 国际外科学杂志

With the population aging, diet changing and incveasing risk factors on vascular disease, the lower extremity ischemic disease has become a frequently occurring disease of older person, and it is the main reason for amputation disability. In the 21st century the stem cells transplantation is one of the most advanced technologies and has been applied quickly to clinical therapy, regarded as a radical treatment of lower extremity ischemic disease. Endothelial progenitor cells have gradually become a new direction and a new research focus because of its unique biological characteristics in the treatment of this disease. This article focuses on endothelial progenitor cells in treating extremity ischemia lesions on the theoretical basis and research developments.

Stem cells transplantation in ischemic disease of lower extremity / 国际外科学杂志

Ischemic disease of lower extremity is a severe disease threatening human health.In the 21st century the stem cells transplantation is one of the most advanced technologies and has applied quickly to clinical therapy.The stem cells possess the potential differentiation capability and can differentiate into all kinds of tissue cells.We transplant stem cells from peripheral blood or bone marrow to isehemie appendicular muscle or obsructed vessal in order to make them differentiate into newborn blood capillary,improve and re-cover blood flow of lower limb and achieve the aim of treating lower limb ischemia.
