University of South Carolina – News

Posted: August 22, 2014 at 6:03 am

Qian Wang at work among plants that host some of the building blocks of his nanomolecular scaffolds.

By Steven Powell, spowell2@mailbox.sc.edu, 803-777-1923

If you break a bone, you know you'll end up in a cast for weeks. But what if the time it took to heal a break could be cut in half? Or cut to just a tenth of the time it takes now? Qian Wang, a chemistry professor at the University of South Carolina, has made tantalizing progress toward that goal.

Wang, Andrew Lee and co-workers just reported in Molecular Pharmaceutics that surfaces coated with bionanoparticles could greatly accelerate the early phases of bone growth. Their coatings, based in part on genetically modified Tobacco mosaic virus, reduced the amount of time it took to convert stem cells into bone nodules from two weeks to just two days.

The key to hastening bone healing or growth is to coax a perfectly natural process to pick up the pace.

"If you break a rib, or a finger, the healing is automatic," said Wang. "You need to get the bones aligned to be sure it works as well as possible, but then nature takes over."

Healing is indeed very natural. The human body continuously generates and circulates cells that are undifferentiated; that is, they can be converted into the components of a range of tissues, such as skin or muscle or bone, depending on what the body needs.

The conversion of these cells called stem cells is set into motion by external cues. In bone healing, the body senses the break at the cellular level and begins converting stem cells into new bone cells at the location of the break, bonding the fracture back into a single unit. The process is very slow, which is helpful in allowing a fracture to be properly set, but after that point the wait is at least an inconvenience, and in some cases highly detrimental.

"With a broken femur, a leg, you can be really incapacitated for a long time," said Wang. "In cases like that, they sometimes inject a protein-based drug, BMP-2, which is very effective in speeding up the healing process. Unfortunately, it's very expensive and can also have some side effects."

In a search for alternatives four years ago, Wang and colleagues uncovered some unexpected accelerants of bone growth: plant viruses. They originally meant for these viruses, which are harmless to humans, to work as controls. They coated glass surfaces with uniform coverings of the Turnip yellow mosaic virus and Tobacco mosaic virus, originally intending to use them as starting points for examining other potential variations.

Marrow Donor Program – Rhode Island Blood Center

Posted: August 22, 2014 at 6:02 am

Thousands of people suffer from diseases treatable with marrow or blood stem cell transplants. The National Marrow Donor Program finds donors for patients who don't have a match in their family.

First, volunteer. Join the Registry if you are 18-44 years old, in good health, and willing to give a swab of cheek cells.

Next, if you are a match, give blood samples to confirm it.

Then, you make a decision to give after an information session and a physical exam.

A Marrow Donation is donated in a hospital. After anesthesia is given, doctors remove a small amount of marrow from the back of the hip bones with a needle and syringe. Recovery is quick, though most donors have some bone pain and aches for several days or a few weeks. The marrow given naturally replenishes itself in four to six weeks. This method is selected 25 percent of the time.

A Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Donation is a special type of blood donation given at the Rhode Island Blood Center. Five daily injections of a stem cell growth factor are given to donors to increase the number of stem cells released from the marrow into the blood stream. Then an apheresis blood donation is made. Donors can experience bone pain as a result of receiving the growth factor. Recovery is quick, however, just one or two days after the donation is made. This method is selected 75 percent of the time.

For more information on joining the Be The Match Registry or to sponsor a marrow registration drive, please call 401-248-5720 or email marrow@ribc.org. Additional information is also available on http://www.marrow.org.

Stem Cell Therapy for Hip Injuries and Arthritis …

Posted: August 22, 2014 at 6:02 am

Rehabilitation and Pain Specialists is the only medical center in Pennsylvania to offer the nations most advanced, non-surgical stem cell and platelet treatments for hip conditions, including labral tears, bursitis, avascular necrosis, and degenerative arthritis. Traditional solutions to these problems include invasive procedures, from hip surgery to total hip replacement. With this range of surgeries, patients typically require months of rehabilitation to regain strength and range-of-motion, plus the patient must be prepared to take on the risks associated with surgical trauma and potential for infection. Stem Cell Therapy and Platelet treatments are minimally-invasive regenerative treatments that may help resolve hip pain with a same-day injection procedure. Patients avoid the lengthy periods of downtime and painful rehabilitation that typically follow invasive hip procedures.

This Regenexx patient registry data looks at outcomes for the Regenexx-SD stem cell treatment for hip arthritis. The outcome data looks good especially for those individuals under the age of 55.

View This Hip Outcome Data

Regenexx Procedures were recently featured on The Doctors TV show. The episode featured Dr. Christopher J. Centeno and Dr. Ron Hanson from the Centeno-Schultz Clinic in Colorado, along with a patient who sought stem cell treatment following traditional knee surgery. The 6 minute video provides a nice overview of the Stem Cell procedures that are performed at our offices in Pittsburgh, PA.

Seattle King TV recently featured Regenexx patient Paul Lyon in this news segment. Lyon chose to undergo a Regenexx-SD knee procedure, rather than an invasive and traumatic knee joint replacement surgery.

Stem Cells are in all of us and they are responsible for healing injured bone, ligaments, tendons and tissues. As we get older or injured, we sometimes cannot get enough of these cells into the area in need. The Regenexx Procedures help solve that problem by precisely delivering a high concentration of stem cells into the injured area and aiding your bodys ability to heal naturally. Patients experience very little down time and they typically avoid the long, painful rehabilitation periods that often follow surgery to restore joint strength and mobility. To determine if youre a candidate for these procedures, please complete our Candidate Form below.

The Regenexx procedure begins when the doctor numbs the back of the hip (PSIS) and takes a small bone marrow sample through a needle, as well as a blood draw from a vein in the arm. The marrow is rich in Mesenchymal Stem Cells, which are responsible for healing damaged tissues. The stems cells are isolated from the marrow sample and platelets are isolated from the blood. After preparation, these two components will be reinjected directly into the damaged joint using advanced imaging guidance, ensuring the cells are placed in the exact location of need.

If you are suffering from a hip injury or degenerative condition like osteoarthritis, you may be a good candidate for these ground-breaking stem cell and blood platelet treatments. Please complete the Procedure Candidate Form below and we will immediately email you more information.
