Background: Pyoderma Gangrenosum (PG) is a rare and an idiopathic, inflammatory ulcerative condition, which is a diagnosis of exclusion and the treatment are empirical and based on small series or local experience. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have immunomodulatory and tissue-repairing effects in autoimmune diseases.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the efficacy of UC-MSCT and define whether there is remission of wounded skin in refractory severe PG patient.
Methods: Twenty nine year old male PG patient was recuited. UC-MSCs were prepared by the Stem Cell Center of Jiangsu Province (Beike Bio-Technology). The patient underwent two times of UC-MSCT on June 13th, 2012 and June 27th, 2012. The protocol was approved by our Ethics Committee and informed consent was signed from the pati.. View More»
