AI Article Synopsis
- Omphalocele is an uncommon complication associated with umbilical cord cysts, but in this case, it developed in a fetus with trisomy 13.
- At 26 weeks, both an umbilical cord cyst and fetal ascites were observed, which later evolved into an omphalocele with absorbed ascites by 35 weeks.
- The authors present two theories: either the abdominal wall was penetrated, or the omphalocele existed prior, with ascites pushing the intestines into the hernia sac.
Article Abstract
Omphalocele is rarely complicated by umbilical cord cysts. In our case, an umbilical cord cyst and fetal ascites were detected at 26 weeks' gestation in a fetus with trisomy 13. This changed to omphalocele with subsequently absorbed fetal ascites at 35 weeks' gestation. We propose two hypotheses. The abdominal wall may have been physically pierced or an omphalocele might have preexisted, and the intestinal tract in the hernia sac was pushed by fetal ascites.

Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes combined with mouse nerve growth factor can more effectively ameliorate the motor disorder and brain pathological injury in mice with cerebral palsy.
Adv Clin Exp Med
January 2025
The First Clinical Hospital, Gansu University of Chinese Medicine, Lanzhou, China.
Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurodevelopmental disorder and motor disorder syndrome. It has been confirmed that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and mouse nerve growth factor (mNGF) can repair brain tissue damage and nerve injury; however, exosomes derived from healthy cells may have a comparable therapeutic potential as the cells themselves.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the improvement effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUC-MSCs)-derived exosomes on a CP model and determine whether there is a synergistic effect when combined with mNGF.

Biotherapy Centre, The Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, 510630, P.R. China.
Background: As cell-free nanotherapeutics, extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EVs) have shown potential therapeutic action against liver diseases. However, their effects on autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) are not yet well understood.
Methods And Results: In this study, we utilized a well-established concanavalin A (Con A)-induced fulminant hepatitis mouse model to investigate the effects of MSC-EVs on AIH.

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a persistent inflammation of the digestive system, and Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) and their exosomes have demonstrated potential as treatments for this condition. The objective of this research was to examine the possible effectiveness of intraperitoneal injection of umbilical cord-MSCs (UC-MSCs) and their exosomes through a two-time injection regimen in a mouse model.
Method: In this study, an animal model of a specific type of IBD in C57BL/6 mice, induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), was utilized.
Safety and efficacy of mesenchymal stromal cells mitochondria transplantation as a cell-free therapy for osteoarthritis.

Objective: The inflammatory responses from synovial fibroblasts and macrophages and the mitochondrial dysfunction in chondrocytes lead to oxidative stress, disrupt extracellular matrix (ECM) homeostasis, and accelerate the deterioration process of articular cartilage in osteoarthritis (OA). In recent years, it has been proposed that mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) transfer their functional mitochondria to damaged cells in response to cellular stress, becoming one of the mechanisms underpinning their therapeutic effects. Therefore, we hypothesize that a novel cell-free treatment for OA could involve direct mitochondria transplantation, restoring both cellular and mitochondrial homeostasis.
