Abstract
Objective: The regenerative potential of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (MNCs) and CD133+ stem cells
in the heart varies in terms of their pro-angiogenic effects. This phase II/III, multicenter and double-blind trial is
designed to compare the functional effects of intramyocardial autologous transplantation of both cell types and
placebo in patients with recent myocardial infarction (RMI) post-coronary artery bypass graft. Materials and Methods: This was a phase II/III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial COMPARE
CPM-RMI (CD133, Placebo, MNCs - recent myocardial infarction) conducted in accordance with the Declaration
of Helsinki that assessed the safety and efficacy of CD133 and MNCs compared to placebo in patients with
RMI. We randomly assigned 77 eligible RMI patients selected from 5 hospitals to receive CD133+ cells, MNC,
or a placebo. Patients underwent gated single photon emission computed tomography assessments at 6 and 18
months post-intramyocardial transplantation. We tested the normally distributed efficacy outcomes with a mixed
analysis of variance model that used the entire data set of baseline and between-group comparisons as well as
within subject (time) and group×time interaction terms. Results: There were no related serious adverse events reported. The intramyocardial transplantation of both
cell types increased left ventricular ejection fraction by 9% [95% confidence intervals (CI): 2.14% to 15.78%,
P=0.01] and improved decreased systolic wall thickening by -3.7 (95% CI: -7.07 to -0.42, P=0.03). The CD133
group showed significantly decreased non-viable segments by 75% (P=0.001) compared to the placebo and 60%
(P=0.01) compared to the MNC group. We observed this improvement at both the 6- and 18-month time points. Conclusion: Intramyocardial injections of CD133+ cells or MNCs appeared to be safe and efficient with superiority of
CD133+ cells for patients with RMI. Although the sample size precluded a definitive statement about clinical outcomes,
these results have provided the basis for larger studies to confirm definitive evidence about the efficacy of these cell
types (Registration Number: NCT01167751).

Abstract
Decellularized xenogeneic heart valves (DHVs) are promising products for valve replacement. However, the widespread clinical application of such products is limited due to the risk of immune reaction, progressive degeneration, inflammation, and calcification. Here, we have developed an optimized decellularization protocol for a xenogeneic heart valve. We improved the biological function of DHVs by protein tethering onto DHV and three-dimensional (3D) cell seeding in a bioreactor. Our results showed that heart valves treated with a Triton X-100 and sodium deoxycholate-based protocol were completely cell-free, with preserved biochemical and biomechanical properties. The immobilization of stromal derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) and basic fibroblast growth factor on DHV significantly improved recellularization with endothelial progenitor cells under the 3D culture condition in the bioreactor compared to static culture conditions. Cell phenotype analysis showed higher fibroblast-like cells and less myofibroblast-like cells in both protein-tethered DHVs. However, SDF-DHV significantly enhanced recellularization both in vitro and in vivo compared to basic fibroblast growth factor DHV and demonstrated less inflammatory cell infiltration. SDF-DHV had less calcification and platelet adhesion. Altogether, integration of SDF-1α immobilization and 3D cell seeding in a bioreactor might provide a novel, promising approach for production of functional heart valves.

Abstract
Heart valve replacement is considered to be the most prevalent treatment approach for cardiac valve-related diseases. Among current solutions for heart valve replacement, e.g. mechanical and bioprosthetic valves, the main shortcoming is the lack of growth capability, repair and remodelling of the substitute valve. During the past three decades, tissue engineering-based approaches have shown tremendous potential to overcome these limitations by the development of a biodegradable scaffold, which provides biomechanical and biochemical properties of the native tissue. Among various scaffolds employed for tissue engineering, the decellularized heart valve (DHV) has attracted much attention, due to its native structure as well as comparable haemodynamic characteristics. Although the human DHV has shown optimal properties for valve replacement, the limitation of valve donors in terms of time and size is their main clinical issue. In this regard, xenogenic DHV can be a promising candidate for heart valve replacement. Xenogenic DHVs have similar composition to human valves, which will overcome the need for human DHVs. The main concern regarding xenogeneic DHV replacement is the immunological reaction and calcification following implantation, weak mechanical properties and insufficient recellularization capacity. In this review, we describe the essential steps required to address these impediments through novel engineering approaches. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The implantation of a CD133+ bone marrow cell population into an ischemic myocardium has emerged as a promising therapeutic modality for myocardial regeneration and restoration of ventricular contractility. While previous studies have documented the short-term safety and efficacy of CD133+ cell transplantation in patients with acute myocardial infarction, there are few reports of long-term follow-up results. Here, we present the results of long-term follow-up of our acute myocardial infarction patients who were treated with intramyocardial injection of CD133+ cells after coronary bypass graft. METHODS After five years, 13 patients in the cell transplantation group and 5 patients in the control group underwent safety and efficacy investigations by New York Heart Association classification and two-dimensional echocardiography (2D echo). RESULTS During the five-year study period, no major cardiac adverse events were reported among patients who received CD133+ stem cells. Regarding efficiency, we observed no statistically significant treatment effects for the echocardiographic parameters [left ventricular end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes, and resting ejection fraction] measured during the follow-up period. However, detailed analysis of regional wall motion revealed an improvement in the Wall Motion Score Index from baseline to the six month follow-up, which was maintained during the follow-up period. CONCLUSION Taken together, the long-term results of the present study indicate that transplantation of CD133+ is a safe and feasible procedure; however, we could not show any major benefits in our patients. Thus, this issue needs to be addressed by conducting other studies with more patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cirrhosis, the end stage of progressive hepatic fibrosis, is characterized by distortion of the hepatic architecture and the formation of regenerative nodules. Liver transplantation is one of the few available therapies for such patients. However, due to a severe shortage of organ donors, surgical complications, transplant rejection and the high cost of this procedure much interest has focused on research to find new treatment modalities for this disease. There is accumulating evidence for the contribution of bone marrow stem cells to participate in liver regeneration. METHODS Here we report on six patients with end stage liver disease who were subjected to intraportal administration of autologous bone marrow-derived CD133(+) in comparison to mononuclear cells in short-term (6 months) and long-term (24 months) follow up. RESULTS There were no adverse effects in any of the patients during the short- and long-term follow up period. Moreover, there were no significant alterations of liver function parameters, liver enzymes, serum albumin, creatinine, serum bilirubin and/or liver volume after transplantation of both types of autologous cells in these patients. CONCLUSION Our study has shown both the safety and feasibility of this type of liver cell therapy and may be a bridge to liver transplantation. The trial was registered with NIH clinical trials (www.clinicaltrials.gov) as identifier: NCT00713934.

Abstract
The CD133(+) bone marrow cell (BMC) population includes primitive multipotent stem cells which induce neoangiogenesis. Studies suggested transplantation of these cells to infarcted myocardium can have a favorable impact on tissue perfusion and contractile performance. We assessed the feasibility, safety and functional outcomes of autologus CD133(+) BMC transplantation during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with recent myocardial infarction. In a prospective, nonrandomized, open-label study, 27 patients with recent myocardial infarction underwent CABG and intramyocardial injection of autologous bone marrow-derived CD133(+) cells (18 patients, BMC group) or CABG alone (9 patients, control group). At 6 months after CABG, the Wall Motion Score Index (WMSI) was significantly reduced for akinetic/dyskinetic segments treated with CD133(+) cells compared with the control group (P<0.006). Likewise, comparison between baseline and follow up results of dobutamine stress echocardiography and myocardial perfusion scintigraphy showed improvement of myocardial viability and local perfusion of the infarcted zone of the BMC group compared with the control group. No complications related to CD133(+) cell transplantation were noted, either procedurally or during postoperative at a mean of 14 months follow up. In patients with recent myocardial infarction, transplantation of CD133(+) cells to the peri-infarct zone during CABG surgery is feasible and safe, with no evidence of early or late adverse events. Moreover, these cells might restore tissue viability and improve perfusion of the infarcted myocardium, suggesting that they may induce myogenesis as well as angiogenesis.

Abstract
AIM: To evaluate safety and feasibility of autologous bone marrow-enriched CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell Tx through the hepatic artery in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.
METHODS: Four patients with decompensated cirrhosis were included. Approximately 200 mL of the bone marrow of the patients was aspirated, and CD34+ stem cells were selected. Between 3 to 10 million CD34+ cells were isolated. The cells were slowly infused through the hepatic artery of the patients.
RESULTS: Patient 1 showed marginal improvement in serum albumin and no significant changes in other test results. In patient 2 prothrombin time was decreased; however, her total bilirubin, serum creatinine, and Model of End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score worsened at the end of follow up. In patient 3 there was improvement in serum albumin, porthrombin time (PT), and MELD score. Patient 4 developed radiocontrast nephropathy after the procedure, and progressed to type 1 hepatorenal syndrome and died of liver failure a few days later. Because of the major side effects seen in the last patient, the trial was prematurely stopped.
CONCLUSION: Infusion of CD34+ stem cells through the hepatic artery is not safe in decompensated cirrhosis. Radiocontrast nephropathy and hepatorenal syndrome could be major side effects. However, this study does not preclude infusion of CD34+ stem cells through other routes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelet transfusion is accompanied by febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions. The generation of cytokines (like IL-1 beta, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha) in platelet concentrates by white cells is suggested to be responsible for febrile nonhemolytic transfusion reactions. The number of white cells in the platelet concentrates is crucial to cytokine generation. METHODS This study was performed to determine whether WBC reduction in platelet concentrates by prestorage leukodepletion filters or inactivation by gamma radiation reduced the levels of these cytokines during storage for 3 days. Each of the platelet concentrates (n = 54) was prepared from a single random donor by platelet-rich plasma. This was then divided into four groups: 1) unfiltered, nonirradiated random-donner platelet concentrates (n = 13); 2) unfiltered, gamma-irradiated random-donner platelet concentrates (n = 16); 3) filtered, nonirradiated random-donner platelet concentrates (n = 14); and 4) filtered, gamma-irradiated random-donner platelet concentrates (n = 11). Cytokine levels in platelet concentrates supernatants were measured by ELISA kits according to the manufacturer's recommendations. RESULTS Our results showed that IL-8 was detected in unfiltered, nonirradiated, and gamma-irradiated random-donner platelet concentrates but not in the filtered random-donner platelet concentrates. TNF-alpha was only detected in unfiltered, nonirradiated units. Compared with unfiltered platelet concentrates, prestorage filtration prevented a rise in the IL-8 and TNF-alpha on day 3 of storage. The concentration of IL-1 beta was lower than the minimum concentration value of the kit used for this purpose. IL-6 was detected only in 7 units of all filtered platelet concentrates on day 3. CONCLUSION These data indicate that gamma irradiation can not prevent generation of IL-8 in platelet concentrates during storage, but prestorage leukoreduction of platelet concentrates can prevent accumulation of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-alpha during storage.
