THE Davao Adventist Hospital is now offering services for autologous stem cell therapy.

Marketing officer Kim Endrei Go said the therapy is the first in Davao City and an alternative treatment for degenerative diseases of joints and bones caused by sports injuries and chronic pains.

Go said the treatment allows the patient to continue the normal routine even after the treatment. He said the therapy is non-surgical and has a healing period of only three days.

The modalities in extracting stem cells in the therapy are either through the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and through Bone Marrow Aspiration Concentrate.

Go said autologous means that the stem cells will be extracted from the patient himself and will be regenerated through an equipment.

The hospital uses the Harvest technologies from the United States which introduced the SmartPrePtm2.

SmartPrePtm2 is used to redefine platelet concentrate systems. Its latest innovation will further expand and enhance the use of autologous bioactive proteins as well as help optimize the condition for healing.

Go said that the therapy session depends on the severeness of the patient's condition. He added that most patients had 3 sessions but some had once or twice.

He said the technology was first practice in their Cebu branch and is now adopted for Davao. He said that in Cebu there about almost 90 treatments since November last where it was launched.

Each session costs P80,000 where about 60 cc of platelet and stem cells will be collected from the patient.

Five stroke victims have shown small signs of recovery following pioneering stem cell therapy.

Prof Keith Muir, of Glasgow University, said the results were "not what we would have expected" from the group of patients who had previously shown no indications of their conditions improving.

The trial involved injecting stem cells directly into the damaged parts of the patients' brains, with the hope that they would turn into healthy tissue or "kick-start" the body's own repair processes.

Frank Marsh, 80, one of the nine patients taking part in the trial at Glasgow's Southern General Hospital, told the BBC he had seen improvements in the use of his left hand.

"I can grip certain things that I never gripped before, like the hand rail at the baths, with my left hand as well as my right," he said."It still feels fairly weak and it's still a wee bit difficult to co-ordinate, but it's much better than it was." He added: "I'd like to get back to playing my piano."

His wife Claire said: "He had reached a plateau and wasn't really improving (after his stroke). But following the operation he is able to do things he couldn't do before, such as make coffee, dressing and holding on to things."

The study involved patients who suffered strokes some time ago and had shown no signs of making any further spontaneous improvement.

Prof Muir said the results were "at the present time not what we would have expected in this group but far from being able to say whether it's something specifically related to the cells".

He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "We know that some of the cells will survive and potentially turn into relevant tissue. We also suspect that a large part of what we do is kick-starting repair processes that are already present in the body. So there's probably a mixture of things going on. Quite what it is that's happening in the patients, we won't know for some time to come."

The stem cells were created 10 years ago from one sample of nerve tissue taken from a foetus.

Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a hepatotropic member of the Flaviviridae family and contains a 9.6 kb positive-sense RNA genome. Approximately 170-million people are infected with HCV worldwide. These people face increased risks of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma compared with the general population. Transduction of the HCV genome into hepatocytes is essential for understanding the mode of action of HCV infection, and for preparing HCV, evaluating HCV replication, and screening anti-HCV drugs. Although electroporation of in vitro-synthesized HCV genome and transduction of plasmid vectors containing the HCV genome are widely used in HCV research, a more convenient system with higher transduction efficie...
