Background: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell (BMMNC) infusion in the management of neurological sequelae in children with spina bifida (SB).
Methods: BMMNCs were harvested from bilateral anterior iliac crests. Two intrathecal BMMNC administrations were performed with an interval of 6 months.
Article Synopsis
- Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is an autoimmune condition that can lead to severe neurological issues, as highlighted by the case of a 5-year-old girl who experienced significant deterioration despite conventional treatments.
- The patient underwent three infusions of allogeneic umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) after not improving with immunosuppressive drugs and IVIG therapy.
- Post-treatment evaluations showed remarkable recovery in her cognitive and motor functions, including walking, writing, and improved control over bodily functions, suggesting a potential new avenue for treating autoimmune encephalitis.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell transplantation combined with educational intervention for children with autism spectrum disorder. An open-label clinical trial was performed from July 2017 to August 2019 at Vinmec International Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam. Thirty children who fulfilled the autism criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, and had Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) scores >37 were selected.
