Brief summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation via portal vein in patients with early and middle stage of liver cirrhosis on the basis of HBV infection. The evaluation of the efficacy includes the level of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), total bilirubin (TB),prothrombin time (PT), albumin (ALB), prealbumin(PA), precollagenⅢ(PCⅢ), collagenⅣ(Ⅳ-C), laminin(LN), hyaluronidase(HN), liver histological improvement before and 1 week to 1 year after transplantation. Child-Pugh scores and clinical symptoms were also observed simultaneously.
Interventions
10 ml autologous BMSCs(7\ 8log10 cells/ml) were infused to patients using interventional method via portal vein as well as conserved therapy for group B.
Oral or intravenous administration
