MND Treatment in China

MND Treatment in China MND is the abbreviation of Motor neuron disease. The motor neuron disease is a group of progressive disease with unknown reasons, which attacks the cells of the anterior horn of the spinal cord, the motor nuclei of the brain stem cranial nerves and the pyramidal cells of the cerebral motor cortex. It is featured in clinic by atrophy of muscles, myasthenia and even death due to paralysis of the respiratory muscle. Currently, there is still no any effective cure for this illness completely. 50% to 70% of the victims will die in 3 to 5 years, and the survival time for those with brain stem injuries is no more than two years. Motor neuron control muscle activity such as speaking, walking, swallowing and breathing. However, in motor neuron disease, a progress and eventually fatal disorder, these cells decomposition leading to paralysis, difficulty speaking, breathing and swallowing. Fortunately, scientists have discovered a new method to generate human movement of nerve cells in the development; this will help to study motor neuron disease. Scientists have invented a series of motor neurons, the nerve cells send messages from the brain and spine to other parts of the body, from human embryonic stem cells in the laboratory. The research show that stem cells have regenerative ability, it can replace damaged cells. Stem cells also have secretion functions, secrete cell growth factor, these factors plays an important role in repairing the cell nutrition. Now we have been through stem cell treatment of motor neuron disease more than 120 cases. Treatment effect is closely related to the type of motor neuron disease, and the patient's own disease progression. To evaluate different types of the Motor neuron disease treatment effect, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is better than progressive muscular dystrophy. In addition, in the middle of disease, treatment effect is better than late patients. During hospitalization most patients’ symptoms have a certain improvement, high muscle tension has been lowered, myodynamia recovered; swallowing function has a certain improvement, hands and feet swollen symptoms improved etc. Some patients speak more clearly, and appetite is obviously better than before. However, we need to remind you that neural stem cell transplantation treatment cannot cure general motor neuron disease completely; it only improves the patients’ symptom in the period of time, and delays or prevents the disease from developing. If the disease continues to develop after a certain period of time, patients can also accept the second, even third transplant treatment. This can prolong life and improve the quality of life.
