A 19 Years Old Girl with Cerebral Palsy Gives Doctor Confidence

19 Years Old Girl with Cerebral Palsy and Stem Cells

Why I said a 19 years old girl with cerebral palsy gives doctors confidence but not the doctors give the patient confidence? It is because of stem cell treatment is a relatively new treatment for cerebral palsy and other nervous system diseases. Among more than 3000 cerebral palsy cases, patients are under 16 years old. This 19 years old girl is the first case we treated over 16 years old.
On 10th, 2013, a 19 years old girl coming from Switzerland named Lan Lan who is a patient with cerebral palsy was hospitalized in our hospital for stem cell treatment and traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation. Lan Lan’s parents came together with her sitting on the wheelchair. They come to Dr. An Yihua because of they admire his fame. When Dr. An saw Lan Lan, his heart throbbed because the girl’s condition is not very good comparing with the cases we treated before.
First, her age is a disadvantage. According to our research and clinical application of stem cell treatment, the younger the patient get stem cell treatment, the better treatment result the patient can get. Children under 3 years old is the most important period to develop each ability such as language, intelligence, limb activity, fine motor activity, communication, etc. During this period, stem cells can repair and stimulate each nerve system to recover the functions. However, Lan Lan is 19 years old so that Dr. An Yihua can not make sure of the good treatment result.
Second, Lan Lan’s motor function and language development are far behind the other peers. Her neck has no strength so her head has to lean on his mother’s right arm holding on the wheelchair. In addition, she has week waist strength sagged in the wheelchair so that her parents have to take strength to hold her up and upright her body.
After the check up and consultation, Dr. An Yihua told Lan Lan’s parents that Lan Lan’s treatment result will not be as good as other children with cerebral palsy because of age and serious illness condition. Dr. An told the truth as ask them to think over it. The next day, Lan lan’s parents came to see Dr. An and decide to take stem cell treatment as Lan Lan’s last hope. Lan Lan’s father said: “we are responsible to my daughter because we give birth to her. We are willing to try stem cell treatment even if there is a flash of hope”. At that moment, Dr. An and other doctors are touched. This parents is only one of the parents who has child with cerebral palsy. What Lan lan’s father thought and experienced is the same as other parents. With the increase of children’s age, height and weight, the aggravation of illness condition, it is more and more difficult to take care of the children. What’s more, parents can’t take care of the children whole life. What is the best for the children with cerebral palsy is to live independently.
It is gratifying that Lan Lan achieved unexpected treatment result after one time stem cell injection. Her head can well straight up for 10 minutes at least. After the second stem cell injection, her lumbar is full of strength and can sit on the wheelchair straightly. According to the follow up to cases we treated, stem cells can take effects in human body for 6-12 months so that patients can show continuously improvements.
The successful case of Lan Lan made up more and more confidence in treating elder patients with cerebral palsy. Our stem cell center is the first WHO approved one in the world with nearly 10 years clinical experience. If you need help, welcome to email me at stemcelltech.cn@gmail.com

I Can Walk After 18 Years T12 Spinal Cord Injury

I Can Walk After 18 Years T12 Spinal Cord Injury

Name: Wong Longkui
Age: 42
Gender: male
Diagnosis: T12 Spinal Cord Injury
Date of Admission: 2013/3/31
Date of Discharge: 2013/4/28

Mr. Wong catched spinal cord injury since 18 years ago because of falling down from 9 meters high building. From CT report, T12 was broken and spinal cord injury. After the accident, he received surgery but left some sequelae of spinal cord injury such as motor dysfunction of both lower limbs, bowel and bladder dysfunction. Long-term motor dysfunction, Mr. Wong has to stay on bed leading to bedsore in heels, toes and sacrococcygeal region. During the 18 years, Mr. Wong received 8 times surgery but having no effective treatment result. Before he come to our stem cell center for stem cell treatment, he has already caught  osteomyelitis. After two courses stem cell treatment, Mr. Wong’s condition get obvious improvements. Below is the comparison before and after receiving stem cell treatment.
Before Stem Cell Treatment:
1. Weak muscle strength in both lower limbs; difficult to stand up and walk by himself; walking with poor balance just like a pendulum. He can walk by himself about 4 meters.
2. Can’t go up and down stairs; hard to lift legs so that he can’t walk long.
3. Having no self-care ability; need relatives take care of beside him.
4. Poor peripheral circulation in lower limbs, ankles, toes leading to dark skin and peeling.
5. Sensory level is being hip joint.
After second course stem cell treatment：
1. Lower limbs strength are increased a lot. Mr. Wong can stand by single leg for seconds; walking easily with good balance. He can walk at least 30 meters and walking very long distance with the help of double crutches.
2. Can go up and down stairs freely and can lift legs with strength.
3. Skin colors of both lower limbs turn to normal because the peripheral circulation is improved.
4. Sensory level moved to to knees.
5. Ulcers on heels, toes and sacrococcygeal region are recovered and the pain disappeared.
Mr. Wong received stem cell treatment 18 years after spinal cord injury. If he gets the stem cell treatment earlier, he has big chance to live normal life. According to more than 3000 cases about spinal cord injury, the earlier patient get stem cell treatment, the better treatment result the patient can get.

Attentions To Take Care of Patient with Multiple System Atrophy

Attentions To Take Care of Patient with Multiple System Atrophy

Multiple system atrophy can damage different nerve systems that lead to different dysfunction. Pay attention to the health care of patient with multiple system atrophy so as to improve living quality and prolong patient’s life span. Currently stem cell treatment is the latest effective treatment for multiple system atrophy, which can repair the damaged nerve cells and restore function of damaged nerve systems.

1. Safety protection.

1) Prevent death by suffocation. When the patient is sleeping, relatives should pay attention to the breath times, stronger snoring, or sleep apnea syndrome, etc. If there is something abnormal occur, relatives should wake the patient up. 2) Protection to orthostatic symptom. Patients with MSA can have symptoms such as dizzy giddy, tumble, blurred vision, etc. Therefore, patients should slow down to change position so that take measures to protect head, limbs to avoid injury.

2. Physical therapy

Physical therapy is effective as a subsidiary treatment for multiple system atrophy. The basis to treat MSA is to repair the damaged nerve systems. As a important health care of patient with multiple system atrophy, physical therapy can improve orthostatic hypotension. We can increase the level of head and body when patient lies on the bed, make patient adapts fluctuation of blood pressure or wear anti-pressure clothing etc.

3. Prevent drinking water choking and swallow difficulty.

Patients should swallow food slowly and hold the breath when swallow the water to avoid choking. Try to take soft food.

4. Diet instruction

Diet instruction is also important for health care of patient with multiple system atrophy. Patient should take foods with high sodium and potassium. Drinking 2-2.5L water and make a record for daily intake water and urine volume. Patient should not take too full which can increase gastrointestinal blood flow leading to insufficient blood flow to brain. This can aggravate dizzy giddy.

5. Psychological Instruction

MSA can seriously influence patient’s living quality and make patients involved in such condition for a long time. Without effective treatment lead to more serious condition so that patient lost the confidence to against the disease. Relatives should communicate with patients well and give them confidence.

Relatives should pay attention to the above health care of patient with multiple system atrophy. Although there is no treatment that can totally get MSA treated but we can choose better treatment and health care to improve patient’s living quality and relieve their sufferings. As I mentioned, stem cell treatment is totally different from common treatment such as medicines or physical therapy, which can repair the damaged nerve cells. Therefore, nerve systems can control the body by itself.If you need help, you can send email at

The Principles of Stem Cell Treatment for Cerebral Palsy

The Principles of Stem Cell Treatment for Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral Palsy is a kind of central nervous system disease which usually show central dysfunction of motor function and abnormal postures together with undeveloped intelligence, epilepsy, abnormal behaviour or perception, language retardation etc. Children within 1 year old can show most of symptoms of cerebral palsy. This is a common infantile disease that can cause serious disability. As a relatively new treatment, what is the principle of stem cell treatment for cerebral palsy?
According to introduction of Dr. An Yihua who is the director of neurology department of the General Hospital of Armed Police Forces, China, parents can have general understanding about principle of stem cell treatment for cerebral palsy? Because of BBB (blood brain barrier), common treatment for cerebral palsy are HPO (high pressure oxygen), neurotrophic medicines, rehabilitation treatment and surgery treatment can improve patients’ condition but not very effective, especially for those children who have serious brain nervous damage. The research and application of stem cell treatment has made incredible result in treating cerebral palsy and other central nervous system diseases.
After stem cells injection to the damaged parts, stem cells can activate and repair damaged nerve cells, secrete neurotrophic factors and neuropeptide, promote recovering of hypoxic-ischemia cells, improve and promote growth of axons of damaged part. Therefore, to achieve the purpose of improving each brain functions.
As for the principles of stem cell treatment for cerebral palsy, stem cells can differentiate int o different functional cells such as hemocyte, endothelial cells, immune cells, smooth muscle cells etc. Stem cells also can improve internal environment, adjust acid-base balance and stable hydraulic pressure so as to decrease hydrocephalus internus, which can relieve pressure of beain tissues and recover the feeble function. Stem cells can differentiate nerve cells and neurogliocyte with fully comprehensive functions and structures, which can replace necrosis and damaged nerve cells and then restore synaptic connections to recover functions of each nerve system. Neurogliocyte has the function of protecting, nourishing, supporting and separating nerves cells, which can release different kinds of neurotrophic factors inducing regeneration of axons and maintain stable original nerve functions. Therefore, stem cell treatment can improve and recover patient’s conscious statement, body control ability and maintain stable functions of each nerve system.
Dr. An Yihua introduced you detailed principles of stem cells for cerebral palsy. A good treatment for cerebral palsy, can change the child's whole life and even for the family.  If you want to make an appointment with Dr. An for suggestions, you can email me at stemcelltech.cn@gmail.com

Successful Case of Spinal Cord Injury with C3/4 Injury

Successful Case of Spinal Cord Injury with C3/4 Injury

Name: Mr. Yang
Age:18
Gender: male
Diagnosis: Cervical Injury C3/4
Date of Admission: 2013-11-1
Date of Discharge: 2013-11-17

In Jan, 2012, Mr. Yang had a car accident that led to cervical broken C3/4. After the surgery, he got triplegia. During last 11 months, he took simple rehabilitation training at home but without any improvement. On 1st, June, 2012, Mr. Yang was admitted in stem cell center for stem cell treatment. After diagnosis, doctors made a treatment plan for him. After one course stem cell treatment, we made a comparison of his condition.

Before Stem Cell Treatment for Spinal Cord Injury:
1. Weak cervical and lumbar strength. Can’t lift head and sit up by himself.
2. Both two arms have poor strength. Left arm can slightly move. Right hand can lift up to the chest level.
3. Very poor strength and high muscle tension of fingers. He can’t hold things such as pen and cellphone.
4. Showing dizzy giddy when sit up with the help of relative. It is because of postural hypotension.
5. No control over empty bladder, constipation.
13 Days After First Course Stem Cell Treatment:
1. Cervical and lumbar strength increase a lot. With the help of relative, patient can sit and lift head for long time with good balance.
2. Both two arms have better strength. Right arms can lift over head.
3. Fingers can hold cellphone easily with increase of muscle strength and lower muscle tension.
4. Postural hypotension is disappear after one course stem cell treatment.
5. Begin to have sensation when empty his bladder. Constipation is obviously improved.
According to our follow up for discharged patients, patients continue to show improvements in different levels after take treatment for 6-12 months. 13 days after stem cell treatment, Mr. Yang already get obvious improvement. With the combination of stem cells and proper physical therapy, we believe Mr. Yang’s condition can be better and better. Experts remind that the earlier to get treatment, the better treatment result patient can get. The best recovering stage for spinal cord injury is within 6 months since the accident.

What to Do for Child with Cerebral Palsy Catching Flu or Fever

What to Do for Child with Cerebral Palsy Catching Flu

Children with cerebral palsy are easy to catch flu or fever, especially in the winter, because of low immunity. In addition, children themself have undeveloped heat-regulating ability so that they are easy to show unstable body temperature. Child with cerebral palsy catching flu or fever indicates human body is defensing those inflammatory factors and virus, which is a way to stimulate immune system.
As parents who has a child with cerebral palsy must be taken great efforts and energy to take care of their baby. If your child with cerebral palsy catched flu or fever, please don’t worry a lot. Here I give you some advises wishing to be useful. First, you need to observe your child's temperature carefully but not giving your child medicines to bring down the fever at once. Because we need to give body itself some time to defense those virus so as to increase self-immunity. At the same time, you can give the child some pure Vitamine, especailly vitamine C to enhance his immunity. In China we usually advice patients choose physical cooling: wet the towel in warm water (38℃-41℃), wring it slightly and scrub your son's body including neck, arms, chest, back etc. You can scrub more in parts like thign, crotch, chelidon, armpit with great vessels. Stop scrub until the vessel parts show slightly red. This can help to lower body temperature. Each day three 2-3 times.
Of course, if baby's temperature continuous very high, we can choose Tylenol. But you should know this medicine has many complications such as damaging digestive system, central neuron nervous system, blood circulation and even kidneys and liver. Whether your child is taking rehabilitation training? Is it effective?

What Are Adult Stem Cells

What Are Adult Stem Cells

Up until 2006, stem cell research was a very controversial topic, which is limited by many for using stem cells destroyed the embryos. These stem cells are called embryonic stem cells which are derived from from blastocysts, or human embryos between three and five days old.

However, in 2006 a revolution in the field of research was made. Scientists discovered a way to essentially “rewire” adult stem cells, causing them to turn into pluripotent cells once again. Pluripotent simply means having many potentialities. This discovery allowed scientists to perform experiments without using human embryos. Since then, research has made several astounding leaps forward.



The best part about using adult stem cells is that there are virtually zero side effects. It has been used for nearly 10 years in the treatment of cerebral palsy, and research has shown that it has also been effective in the treatment of over 130 other diseases such as multiple sclerosis, autism, diabetes, liver cirrhosis and many other diseases and ailments.

Stem cell center of the General Hospital of Armed Police Forces, China has been achieved incredible results in treating central nervous system diseases such as cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, autism, multiple system atrophy, motor neuron disease etc. The application of stem cell treatment has winned approval of WHO and US FDA.

Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy

Symptoms of Cerebral Palsy

Cerebral palsy are all characterized by abnormal muscle tone, reflexes, or motor development and coordination. There can be joint and bone deformities and contractures (permanently fixed, tight muscles and joints). The classical symptoms are spasticities, spasms, other involuntary movements (e.g. facial gestures), unsteady gait, problems with balance, and/or soft tissue findings consisting largely of decreased muscle mass.

Cerebral palsy can occur during pregnancy, during childbirth or after birth up to about age three. Babies born with severe cerebral palsy often have an abnormal posture; their bodies may be either too floppy or too stiff. Birth defects including a small jawbone, spinal curvature, or a small head occur along with cerebral palsy at times. Symptoms may turn up or vary as a child grows. Some babies born with CP do not show obvious signs until the baby reaches the developmental stage at six and a half to 9 months and begin to mobilise.

Secondary conditions can include seizures, epilepsy, apraxia, dysarthria or other communication disorders, eating problems, sensory impairments, mental retardation, learning disabilities, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence or behavioral disorders.

Speech and language disorders are common in people with cerebral palsy. Speech impairments in spastic dysarthria involves four major abnormalities of voluntary movement: spasticity, weakness, limited range of motion and slowness of movement.

Which Stem Cell Center Should I Choose?

Which Stem Cell Center Should I Choose?

Although Stem Cell Treatment is a relatively new treatment, it do bring many patients the last hope to regain health. Nowadays, more and more hospitals begin to adopt stem cell treatment. Here I would like to advice you choose formal stem cell center with rich researching experience.

How the treatment result depends on the quality and quantity of stem cells injected into patients’ body. To subculture stem cells require professional technicians and advanced stem cell center. As for the research of stem cells, European countries are restricted by ethics and human rights for embryonic stem cells derived from embryos are used. In China, abortion is not limited as well as the family planning policy provides patients enough resources to process this research. Stem Cell center of the General Hospital of Armed Police Forces, China is the first stem cell center in the world established in 2003. Stem cell treatment is formally adopted in clinic in the end of 2004. In 2006, stem cell center in the General Hospital of Armed Police Forces, China gained support and approval of relative government department. At present, this stem cell center is the largest and most advanced stem cell center in China. More than 6000 patients with central nervous system diseases are treated that received satisfied treatment result.If you need any help, please email to stemcelltech.cn@gmail.com

Do you know How Stem Cells Treat Various Difficulty Diseases?

How Stem Cells Treat Various Difficulty Diseases?

Stem cells are found in most, if not all, multi-cellular organisms. They are characterized by their ability to renew themselves through mitotic cell division and differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types.
The mechanisms of how stem cells can treat different kinds of diseases vary, for example, in the treatment of neurological diseases such as cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury,traumatic brain injury, motor neuron disease, multiple system atrophy etc., the stem cells after implantation, have several ways to repair the damaged areas including:
1) The stem cells can secrete nutritional elements and provide nourishment to the neural cells and tissue.
2) The stem cells can locate together around the damaged area and prevent any further damage.
3) The stem cells can differentiate into similar cells such as neurons, neurogliocytes, oligodendrocytes, etc., in the surrounding tissue once they are injected into the patient's body and locate to the specific area of damage.
4) The stem cells can attend to the rebuilding of the patient's damaged neural network, improving the overall functioning.
5) The stem cells carry normal gene systems which after implantation, have the ability to repair the patient's genetic disorder and produce normal proteins, correcting the deficiency.
6) Once the stem cells survive and differentiate inside the patient's body, they will maintain the repairing process throughout the person's lifetime.

His whole body presently was spastic and his chest twisted to the right side. He could not complete the muscle strength examination.
The muscle tone of four limbs was higher than normal. His posture was in a flexion position. The abdominal reflexes could be elicited. The tendon reflex of both upper limbs was low. The patellar tendon reflex of both lower limbs was low. Bilateral achilles reflex was low. Bilateral palm jaw reflex was positive. Bilateral Babinski sign was positive. The patient suffered from hyperpyrexia before admission and the patient had pulmonary infection and asthma history.

Treatment:
After admission, Wajd received the relevant examinations. The patient received nerve regeneration treatment and Stem Cell Treatment. The patient received treatment to anti-infection positively, control asthmatic attack, promote sputum discharge and enhance organisms' immunity. Then patient received treatment to improve the blood circulation in order to increase the blood supply to the damaged nerves, activate autologous stem cells and to nourish the neurons. As for the Stem Cell Treatment, PhD. Wang Bo made suitable treatment plan for Wajd choosing four times Lumber Injection because of his young age and the brain and examination.

Post Treatment:
At present, the patient's rash has faded away gradually. The patient's pulmonary infection has been corrected. His asthmatic attacks have been alleviated obviously. His vital signs:Bp:90/60mmHg, Hr:118/min, Br:24/min. Temperature: 36.6 degree. Height:76cm, weight:11Kg. Neuron motor function aspects: his emotions are more stable. His emotional responses are more stable than before. The myospasm of his chest and four limbs has clearly been alleviated. The twisted position of his chest and four limbs has been corrected. The movement of his pupils is more sensitive than before, especially when moving to right side. His head also has more flexible movement towards the right side. With some assistance, the patient has stronger muscles to support his head. The muscle tension of his four limbs has clearly been reduced.

                                      to
                        John B. Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka
for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent

The Nobel Prize recognizes two scientists who discovered that mature, specialised cells can be reprogrammed to become immature cells capable of developing into all tissues of the body. Their findings have revolutionised our understanding of how cells and organisms develop.

John B. Gurdon discovered in 1962 that the specialization of cells is reversible. In a classic experiment, he replaced the immature cell nucleus in an egg cell of a frog with the nucleus from a mature intestinal cell. This modified egg cell developed into a normal tadpole. The DNA of the mature cell still had all the information needed to develop all cells in the frog.

Shinya Yamanaka discovered more than 40 years later, in 2006, how intact mature cells in mice could be reprogrammed to become immature stem cells. Surprisingly, by introducing only a few genes, he could reprogram mature cells to become pluripotent stem cells, i.e. immature cells that are able to develop into all types of cells in the body.

These groundbreaking discoveries have completely changed our view of the development and cellular specialisation. We now understand that the mature cell does not have to be confined forever to its specialised state. Textbooks have been rewritten and new research fields have been established. By reprogramming human cells, scientists have created new opportunities to study diseases and develop methods for diagnosis and therapy.

Sir John Bertrand Gurdon, (born October 2, 1933) is a British developmental biologist who was the first to demonstrate that egg cells are able to reprogram differentiated (mature) cell nuclei, reverting them to a pluripotent state, in which they regain the capacity to become any type of cell. Gurdon's work ultimately came to form the foundation for major advances in cloning and stem cell research, including the generation of Dolly(the first successfully cloned mammal) by British developmental biologist Sir Ian Wilmut and the discovery of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by Japanese physician and researcher Shinya Yamanaka��an advance that revolutionized the field of regenerative medicine. For his discoveries, Gurdon was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which he shared with Yamanaka.

Shinya Yamanaka (born September 4, 1962) is a Japanese physician and researcher of adult stem cells. He serves as the director of Center for iPS Cell Research and Application and a professor at the Institute for Frontier Medical Sciences at Kyoto University; as a senior investigator at the UCSF-affiliated J. David Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco, California; and as a professor of anatomy at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Yamanaka is also the current president of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR).He received the Wolf Prize in Medicine in 2011 with Rudolf Jaenisch; the Millennium Technology Prize in 2012 together with Linus Torvalds.
In 2012 he along with John Gurdon were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for the discovery that mature cells can be converted to stem cells.

Touching Scene Happened in Dr. An's Office

The Sad Mom Behind Dr. An's Assistant

A touching scene I saw yesterday when I was making diagnosis with Dr. An Yihua the director of Stem Cell Center in the General Hospital of Armed Police Forces, China. One child's mom tears down when she describe her child's illness condition because her child is still in ICU. Her son fell off from the second floor and damaged spine T5 and T6 seriously. Currently, the patient is in one hospital of Henan province which is far from Beijing City. Her parents come to Beijing and want to consult whether her son can transfer to the General Hospital of Armed Police Forces and receive stem cell treatment as soon as possible.However, Dr. An advice first improve low blood pressure and lung infection and then the patient can transfer to our hospital for stem cell treatment. Wishing the 17 years old boy can pass the critical stage. As we know that Spinal Cord Injury can lead to sequela such as Bowel and bladder dysfunction, Muscle weakening and atrophy, Loss of voluntary muscle movement, Breathing difficulties, Loss of sensations, Sexual dysfunction etc. The application of Stem Cell Treatment in the General Hospital of Armed Police Forces China has been treated 1596 such cases and the efficiency rate is 87.6. If you want to contact Dr. An for case analysis, you can contact me via email: stemcelltech.cn@gmail.com

Stem Cells Gives Hope to Patients with Cerebral Palsy

Prof. An Yihua and His Doctoral Tutor Prof. Wong

Today I have an opportunity to make diagnosis with Dr. An,the Director of Stem Cell Center in the General Hospital of Armed Forces, China.This morning, Dr. An Yihua diagnosed 11 patients with central nervous system diseases such as infantile cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, Motor Neuron Injury, Cerebral palsy combined with epilepsy etc. I feel sad when I am seeing the very young children and their worrying relatives.Most of them have already saw many hospitals and tried different ways treatment.I see different reactions from the parents. Some of them feel very excited because they heard Dr. An said their baby has big chance to stand up with stem cell treatment. Some of them feel doubt about the treatment result and ask a guarantee. Yes, we understand them but there is no any hospital can give you a 100% treatment guarantee. Then Dr. An will let them go to the ward area to talk with other patients and make the last decision by themselves. We give chance to every patients to know the real treatment result and then make the decision for treatment.

Wiating for Their Registration Number

Here I show a picture taking at 7:30 am. when I am waiting for Dr. An. Every Tuesday and Thursday morning from 8:30 to 11:30 Dr. An will make diagnosis for patients from all over the country. Therefore, patients come early to make clinic registration. If you see any patients with central nervous system diseases, you can contact me via email. stemcelltech.cn@gmail.com

Stem Cell Treatment for Central Nervous System Diseases

Stem Cell Treatment for Central Nervous System Diseases

Research about the function and application of stem cells in treating human diseases has been lasting for several decades. There is a big dispute about the research of stem cells in the world. Stem Cell research is banned in some countries because of the invasion of human rights, especially for the research of Embryonic Stem Cells (ESCs).However, the research of stem cells has never stopped.
In China, stem cell treatment has been used in clinic formally for almost 10 years. In 2003, the General Hospital of Armed Police Forces, China has the first STEM CELL CENTER in the world with the first-class researching equipment.During the 10 years' clinical application, stem cells treat more than 6000 patients with Child Cerebral Palsy, spinal cord injury, Multiple System Atrophy, Post-traumatic brain syndrome,etc. According to follow up, patients have continuous improvements sensory function, motor function, language function and intelligence and muscular tension.
From Nov. 17 to Nov. 22, 2013 In this week's Editor's Pick, Jayaraj Rajagopal and colleagues, describe their findings studying the ability of mouse airway epithelia to dedifferentiate and contribute stem cells for the adult airway. This study may be part of a more generalizable mechanism whereby differentiated cells may dedifferentiate and contribute to the regenerative ability of different organs.
Stem Cell Research and Treatment for immune system disease as well as central nervous system diseases are proved to be effective. If you have such problems and need a new treatment method, you can contact me via email. stemcelltech.cn@gmail.com
