Patient story - spinal cord injury patient achieved obvious improvements via stem cell treatment

Mrs. Zhou, suffered from C6-7 spinal cord injury 4 years ago.

She received 1^st round stem cell treatment in March, 2010.

Before the 1^st round stem cell treatment:

1)      The muscular tension of her lower limbs was evaluated by 4 grade, her lower limbs could curl up, cramp, shiver when receiving a little stimulation;

2)      When moving one of her lower limbs, the other one could be moving together, which is called the synchronous movement.

After 1^st stem cell injection via lumbar puncture:

1)      The muscular tension of her lower limbs is decreased to 2 grade, her lower limbs could curl up, cramp, shiver when receiving strong stimulation;

2)      When moving one of her lower limbs, the other one can not move together, which means the synchronous movement is disappeared.www.thebrightdirection.com

Mr. Ni, 28 years old, happened to fall down when participating the bicycle competition in 2008, which caused him C1-2 cervical vertebras fracture, spinal cord injury of relevant segments.

He received 1^st round stem cell treatment in 2009.

2)      The body sensation below his neck was lost;

3)      The body motor ability below his neck was lost;

4)      He suffered from incontinence of urination and bowl movement.

2)      The slight touch sensation of his whole body is restored;

3)      He can perceive the urination and control a few minutes before excretion.www.thebrightdirection.com

Patient story - spinal cord injury patient achieved obvious improvements after the stem cell treatment

Mr. Sun, 54 years old, happened to meet a car crash in February, 2010, which caused him T9-12 vertebras fracture, the spinal cord injury of relevant segments, paraplegia.

He received 1^st round stem cell treatment in our hospital, 1 stem cell injection via lumbar puncture, 2 stem cell injections guided by the advanced CT scanning.

Before 1^st round stem cell treatment:

1)      The muscle strength of his waist was poor, he could not sit;

2)      His mental outlook was poor, his daily diet was poor, he looked sliming down;

3)      He suffered from incontinence of urination and bowl movement;

4)      His immunity was poor, so that he often caught cold.

Mr. Wu, 22 years old, happened to fall down on June 9^th, 2011, which led to the 1^st Lumbar vertebra injury. He received physical rehabilitation therapy after the injury, but the achieved improvements are not obvious. He received 1^st stem cell implantation in our hospital in September, 2011 (3 months after the injury), including 2 stem cell implantations guided by CT, 1 stem cell injection via lumbar puncture. He would like to receive 2^nd round stem cell treatment in our hospital in May, 2012.

Mr. Li, 31 years old, happened to injury his neck via a car crash, was diagnosed to “cervical spinal cord injury with high paraplegia”. He complained the movement dysfunction of his 4 limbs and sensation disorder accompanying with incontinence for over 2 months, then received 1^st stem cell transplantation in our hospital on 3^rd, December, 2010. His responses to the transplantation are good. He received 2^nd round stem cell treatment on 21^st, October, 2011.

The MRI of his cervical spinal cord in 2^nd affiliated hospital of Harbin medicine university on 11^th, September, 2010 indicated: cervical 5-6 vertebral fracture, dislocation, the spinal cord injury from C2-T1 whilst the swollen status of the spinal cord is reaching to bulbus medullae level.
