Abstract:Subjects were graft patients with pseudoarthrosis (average age, 60.3 years; range, 17-85 years). Pseudoarthrosis affected the thoracolumbar spine, the femur, the clavicle, the humerus and the metatarsal. From the ilium (tibia in one patient), 10-20 ml of bone marrow fluid was collected, and then, it was immediately transferred to the culture room and incubated in a flask containing MEM with 15% autologous or fetal bovine serum, etc.. After 2 weeks in primary culture, cells were released by trypsin treatment an… Show more
“…44 -51 With approval of the university's Ethics Review Board, we have performed therapeutic regeneration therapy of various tissues in clinical settings. [39][40][41][42][43] The present intervertebral disc regeneration therapy using MSC brought about favorable results in these 2 cases. The present therapy can be performed through an incision of about 5 mm, and seems to be a promising minimally invasive treatment.…”

“…This is a convenient technique that does not require specialized equipment or complex procedures, such as long-term collagenase treatment. There have already been clinical reports on tissue regeneration therapy using MSCs, [37][38][39][40][41][42][43] and such techniques are practical.…”
