Utilizou-se 15 coelhos adultos para avaliar o reparo de lesão do tendão calcanear comum com implante de artéria carótida de cães, preservada em glicerina, associado ou não a células mononucleares autólogas da medula óssea (CMAs). Os animais foram observados diariamente por meio de avaliações clínicas e o local do implante foi analisado sob microscopia de luz decorridos 15, 30 e 60 dias de pós-operatório. Notou-se em todos os períodos de observação, com o implante associado às CMAs, melhor desempenho físico dos membros pélvico e maior intensidade de fibras colágenas, fibroblastos e linfócitos e neovascularização. A utilização de xenoimplante de artéria carótida de cães preservada em glicerina associado à administração de células mononucleares da medula óssea foi eficiente no reparo do tendão calcanear comum de coelhos.

We investigated intra-arterially administered autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells (MNCs) in rats with acute ischemic stroke. Long Evans rats (2 to 3 months or 12 months old) underwent tandem reversible common carotid artery (CCA)/middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion (CCAo/MCAo) for 3 h and then 24 h later underwent tibial bone marrow harvest. Ten million or 4 million cells were re-injected by an intra-carotid infusion. Control animals underwent marrow needle insertion and then saline injection into the carotid artery. Animals were assessed on a battery of neurological tests. MNCs in the ischemic brain were tracked using Q-dot nanocrystal labeling. Infarct volume and cytokines in the ischemia-affected brain were analyzed. Cell-treated animals in the younger and older groups showed improvement from 7 to 30 days after stroke compared with vehicle-treated animals. MNCs significantly reduced infarct volume compared with saline. There was a significant reduction in tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1α (IL-1α), IL-β, IL-6, and a significant increase in IL-10 in injured brains harvested from the cell-treated groups compared with saline controls. Labeled MNCs were found in the peri-infarcted area at 1 h and exponentially decreased over the ensuing week after injection. Autologous bone marrow MNCs can be safely harvested from rodents after stroke, migrate to the peri-infarct area, enhance recovery, and modulate the post-ischemic inflammatory response.
