Interventional Hospital of Shandong Red Cross Society is the first and only specialized hospital carrying stem cell transplantation in China. Established in 2003, our hospital built the first large stem cell laboratory and R&D base, and introduced advanced neural stem cell collection, culture and transplantation technique. In our GMP-standard laboratory, our experts are dedicated to stem cell separation, purification, differentiation and amplification in vitro. To date, we have treated more than 2000 patients with neurological disorders. Our stem cell treatment works best for cerebellar atrophy, spinal cord injury, Friedreich ataxia, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. We sincerely hope we can help you and your beloved family live a better life with our stem cell treatment.
Spinal Cord Injury(SCI) is any injury to the spinal cord that is caused by trauma and results in paralysis,incontinence,muscle atrophy and loss of sensation. It causes myelopathy or damage to white matter or myelinated fiber tracts that carry signals to and from the brain. Also, it could damage the gray matter in the central part of the cord, triggering segmental losses of interneurons and motor neurons.Signs will vary depending on where the spine is injured (Cervical,thoracic,lumber,sacral) and the extent of the injury(Complete, incomplete).
Spinocerebellar ataxia(SCA) is a monogene neurological degenerative disease caused by genetic factors.Clinical manifestation includes cerebellar ataxia with dysarthria, intentional tremor,ophthalmoplegia, cone and (or) other extra pyramidal symptoms.The main lesion locations are spinal cord,brain stem and cerebellum, although basal ganglia,optic nerve, peripheral nerve are also involved. The symptoms of an ataxia vary with the specific type and with the individual patient. Generally, a person with ataxia retains full mental capacity but may progressively lose physical control.
Friedreich Ataxia is degeneration of the cerebellum and/or of the spine, with most cases featuring both to some extent and presenting with overlapping cerebellar and sensory ataxia. Typical symptoms of hereditary ataxias include impaired coordination of movement, degenerative changes in brain,degenerative changes in spinal cord,wide-based gait,unsteady gait,speech problems,impaired eye movement control.Categorized by mode of inheritance and gene in which causative mutations occur or chromosomal locus,hereditary ataxias can be inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked manner.
