Use of cryopreserved donor bone marrow may facilitate scheduling of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) by affording independence of a fixed time for bone marrow donation. The potential risk of damage to hematopoietic stem cells by cryopreservation resulting in delayed engraftment or graft failure has to be taken into account, however. To address these issues, the outcome of 19 matched related BMT (1992-94) performed with cryopreserved donor bone marrow was analyzed and compared with 19 related BMT (1990-93) receiving fresh donor bone marrow (control group). Time to engraftment of patients receiving cryopreserved bone marrow was not different from the control group (ANC > 0.2 x 10(9)/l 15.5 +/- 3.8 days vs 15.8 +/- 5.0 days; ANC > 0.5 x 10(9)/l 17.3 +/- 4.1 days vs 17.9 +/- 5.0 days, respectively). We did not find the previously described trend toward a lower incidence of acute GVHD in patients receiving cryopreserved bone marrow compared with patients receiving fresh bone marrow (acute GVHD > or = II 78 vs 64%). Furthermore, the two groups did not differ in the incidence of chronic GVHD (55 vs 38%) or day 100 survival (74 vs 68%). We conclude that in allogeneic BMT cryopreserved bone marrow cells can be safely used without jeopardising or prolonging time to engraftment.

Bone marrow stimulation treatment by bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) released from the bone medullary cavity and differentiated into cartilage via microfracture surgery is a frequently employed technique for treating articular cartilage injuries, yet the treatment presents a main drawback of poor cartilage regeneration in the elderly. Prior research indicated that aging could decrease the stemness capacity of BMSCs, thus we made a hypothesis that increasing old BMSCs (OBMSCs) stemness might improve the results of microfracture in the elderly. First, we investigated the correlation between microfracture outcomes and BMSCs stemness using clinical data and animal experiments.

Unlabelled: Cartilage and joint damage can lead to cartilage degeneration. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have the potential to address cartilage damage. Hence, this study probed the mechanism of BMSC-extracellular matrix (BMSC-ECM) in promoting damaged chondrocyte repair by regulating the Notch1/RBPJ pathway.

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a type of myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) disorder characterized by persistent thrombocytosis and characterized by frequent association with cellular genetic alterations. The 10%-15% of ET that is not associated with genetic abnormalities is known as triple-negative essential thrombocythemia (TNET). A common complication observed in around 20% of ET patients is the development of acquired von Willebrand disease (AvWD).

Background: The diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a crucial and challenging entity in bone marrow transplantation candidates. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) and Lund-Kennedy endoscopic score for the diagnosis of CRS in bone marrow transplantation candidates.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a single-center, observational study evaluating bone marrow transplantation candidates by paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) scan without contrast to measure the Lund Mackay score.
