前几天就看到这篇文章，到现在还搞不清是不是治疗RP，只能说有可能是，大家随便看看。http://www.acmearticles.com/arti ... -restore-sight.html
文章中有一段写，意大利一所大学的医学院在过去10年间，通过从患者自身提取干细胞治疗了超过250名病人，试验结果证明有效，但此治疗方法仍处于试验阶段，在美国境内还没有开始进行治疗。治疗的效果说75%的患者经过了1到2次治疗后得到了明显的改善。
Stem cells taken from the eyes of patients themselves have helped some of them to see clearly again. Research at the University of Moderna’s Center for Regenerative Medicine in Italy has performed stem cell treatments and case studies of over 250 patients in the last decade. While the therapy shows definitive progress, the treatment is still considered experimental and is not currently being performed in the United States.
Results from a study published in a recent edition of the New England Journal of Medicine and at a gathering of the International Society for Stem Cell Research. According to the study results, over 75% of the individuals who took part in the clinical trials displayed some improvement in their vision with their first or second grafting treatments.
Initially following initial transplant of stem cells, roughly half of the patients in the study underwent additional surgeries to improve and restore vision. While the results are not stating that stem cell therapies alone can restore vision, it’s a promising step in the right direction. |
