This review explores the significance and prospects of using diverse T-cell variants in the context of combined therapy for lung cancer treatment. Recently, there has been an increase in research focused on understanding the critical role of tumor-specific T lymphocytes and the potential benefits of autologous T-cell-based treatments for individuals with lung cancer. One promising approach involves intravenous administration of ex vivo-activated autologous lymphocytes to improve the immune status of patients with cancer.

Additionally, we aimed to assess the feasibility and safety of this approach.
Materials And Methods: We recruited 80 participants in this non-randomized, open-label clinical trial, including patients undergoing NOA treatment using autologous BM-MSCs (n=40) and those receiving hormone therapy as a control group (n=40).
Objectives: Our goal was to determine levels of sex hormones in men with type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus after autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplant.
Materials And Methods: We examined 10 male patients (32-56 years old) with type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus, whom we subsequently divided into 2 groups and examined. Group 1 comprised 5 male patients who received autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplant (cells were obtained from patient's iliac crest and cultured for 3-4 weeks) by intravenous infusion.
Determining the most appropriate cannula diameter for lipoaspirate harvesting is important, both in terms of the quality and composition of the material obtained, and the ease of practical use of the cannula. The size of the cannula is one of the main factors affecting the qualitative characteristics of the obtained lipoaspirate sample for further use of adipose tissue. The purpose of the investigation was to clinically and histomorphometrically determine the optimal cannula diameter for lipoaspirate samples collection from rabbit inguinal fat pad in an experimental study.

Among different type of cell therapies, mesenchymal stromal/stem cell (MSC) therapy is being increasingly developed as a new way to treat structural defects that need to be repaired and regenerated. Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is a reproductive disease in men that causes infertility in 10% of infertile men.

Results: A female patient of 63 years old attended an ENT clinic.
Objectives: Our goal was to determine the efficacy of autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplant for treatment in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
Materials And Methods: We examined 5 patients (4 male, 1 female; age 20-42 y) with type 1 diabetes mellitus who received autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplant (cells were obtained from the patient's iliac crest and cultured for 3-4 weeks) performed by intravenous infusion. The quantity of autologous mesenchymal stem cells infused was 95 to 97 × 106.
The search continues for pathogenetically effective measures in autoimmune processes for a number of complications of type 1 diabetes mellitus, in particular, diabetic retinopathy. However, there are few studies of the prognostic and therapeutic values of the systemic autoimmune response in this pathology after transplant of autologous mesenchymal stem cells. Here, we present a 40-year-old patient with complications of type 1 diabetes mellitus (diabetic retinopathy) after mesenchymal stem cell transplant.

Previous studies demonstrated safety and efficacy of autologous bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (ABM-MNCs) in induced type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) rats. However, the effect of ABM-MNCs on urinary markers of DN in humans is not well studied.

MFCs are shown to remove cytokine disbalance, reduce systemic inflammation reaction and accelerate peptic ulcer regeneration.

Bone marrow multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells inhibited apoptosis in epitheliocytes of the gastric mucosa and stimulated ulcer healing.

MMSC of the bone marrow when under the state of stress inhibition do not possess optimal and regulatory activity. Precultivated MMSC of the bone marrow accelerate the processes of regeneration of the gastric ulcer.

It was demonstrated that precultured multipotent mesenchymal stromal bone marrow cells delivered to the zone of chronic gastric ulcer stimulate neoangiogemesis, improve microcirculation in the gastric mucosa, and promote ulcer healing.

It is noted that precultivative MMSC isolated from bone marrow achieve their bioregulatory activity in patient's organism not at once but due to prolonged functioning in the grafting zone (not less than 30 days).

In this article it was examined the application of autological multipotent mesenchymal stromal bone marrow cells (MMSC BM) for acceleration of gastric ulcers regeneration. Gastric ulcer in rats was induced by exposure to acetic acid according to the method of Okabe. It was shown, that the transplantation of MMSCs BM promoted the acceleration of gastric ulcers regeneration by reducing destructive-inflammation phase and activation of proliferative-reperation phase of regeneration process.

Choice of treatment method depended on age, clinical symptoms, localization, size and density of concretion, dysuria symptoms, intercurrent diseases, risk of complications. Distant lithotripsy was performed at 59% cases, percutaneous nephrolithotripsy and contact uretherolithotripsy - at 10.
