Experience of Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn s Disease Patients Treatment with Fetal Stem Cell Suspensions
25 patients with non-specific ulcerative colitis (UC) and 15 patients with Crohn s disease (CD) underwent treatment with fetal stem cells (FSC). Control group consisted of 19 UC and 11 CD patients. FSC transplantation (FSCT) proved to be effective in both acute and chronic non-specific inflammatory bowel diseases, and at all stages, including advanced.
FSCT efficacy was evaluated by: ) Clinical Findings: Remission % N of patients in remission/total N of patients ratio; Time until remission average time span before remission; Term of remission; Life quality improvement subsidence of the following symptoms: stool frequency and consistency, stool admixtures, fever, abdominal pain intensity. ) Blood count: RBC, Hb.
Remission Criteria: UC: Stool frequency 3/day; Absence of blood, mucus in the stool; Absence of abdominal pain, tenesmus, fever, and other systemic problems; No contact hemorrhages, exudates, mucus sponginess and ulceration during rectoromanoscopy. CD: CDAI < 150 (CDAI includes 8 criteria: stool quality, abdominal pain, general well-being, symptoms of external damage of the bowel, antidiarrheal medications intake, abdominal infiltration, hematocrit, body mass)

Indications for FSCT in UC and CD Progressive disease, non-responsive to routine therapy after 2 weeks; Extraintestinal complications; Impossibility of surgery due to grave condition caused by anemia, hypoproteinemia, advanced metabolic disorders; Cachexy; Difficulties in finding compatible blood type for transfusion, or donor blood-recipient incompatibility confirmed by the test.
FSCT Contraindications Vasculitis exacerbation: capillaritis, phlebitis, arteritis FSCT is possible after remission, but no earlier than after 3 months; Acute thrombosis: FSCT is possible no earlier than after 3-6 months; Acute ophthalmic hemorrhages: FSCT is possible no earlier than after 3 months; Advanced pulmonary hypertension secondary to vasculitis, thrombosis, pneumonia, accompanied by development of acute or subacute pulmonary heart ; Terminal stage of the disease (expressed intoxication, advanced metabolic dysfunctions and decompensation of internal organs).
Results of FSC Suspensions Application in Combined UC and CD Treatment Inflammation subsidence Shorter time remission Life quality improvement Possibility to postpone or avoid surgery Possibility to reduce the dose of glucocorticoids or discontinue them remission Quick and effective RBC count restoration Co-morbidity prevention until remission and longer without interrupting
