Effect of sphingosine-1-phosphate and myoblast transplantation on rat acute myocardial infarction

H. Yu, Chen, P. L., Zhao, Y., Gu, X., He, W., and Gong, Z., “Effect of sphingosine-1-phosphate and myoblast transplantation on rat acute myocardial infarction”, vol. 14, pp. 13843-13851, 2015.

In this study, we investigated the effects of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) combined with myoblast transplantation on the treatment of acute myocardial infarction and provided a foundation for its clinical application. A rat model of acute myocardial infarction was established by ligating the anterior descending branch of the coronary artery. Serum-free media, myoblasts, myoblasts with S1P liposomes, or myoblasts with liposomes were then injected into the infarcted area.

Improvements in neuroelectrophysiological and rear limb functions in rats with spinal cord injury after Schwann cell transplantation in combination with a C5a receptor antagonist

S. - Q. Zhang, Wu, M. - F., Peng, C. - G., Lv, Y., Wu, D. - K., Liu, J., and Yang, Q., “Improvements in neuroelectrophysiological and rear limb functions in rats with spinal cord injury after Schwann cell transplantation in combination with a C5a receptor antagonist”, vol. 14, pp. 15158-15168, 2015.

We measured the effect of Schwann cell transplantation and complement factor 5a (C5a) receptor antagonist on nerve function recovery in rats with spinal cord injury. Experimental spinal cord injury was induced in eighty Wistar rats and these were randomly divided into four treatment groups: culture medium and saline injection (control group), Schwann cell injection (cell transplantation group), C5a receptor antagonist injection (C5a receptor antagonist group), and both Schwann cell and C5a receptor antagonist injections (combination group).

Effect of neural stem cell transplantation combined with erythropoietin injection on axon regeneration in adult rats with transected spinal cord injury

Y. Zhao, Zuo, Y., Wang, X. L., Huo, H. J., Jiang, J. M., Yan, H. B., and Xiao, Y. L., “Effect of neural stem cell transplantation combined with erythropoietin injection on axon regeneration in adult rats with transected spinal cord injury”, vol. 14, pp. 17799-17808, 2015.

We investigated the effect of neural stem cells (NSC) and erythropoietin (EPO) on axon regeneration in adult rats with transected spinal cord injury, and provided an experimental basis for clinical treatment. Forty Wistar rats with T10-transected spinal cord injury were randomly divided into four groups of ten rats: a control group (group A), an NSC-transplant group (group B), an NSC-transplant and EPO group (group C), and an EPO group (group D).
