  • Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Treatment of Seawater Drowning Induced Acute Lung Injury

    With the growth of offshore activities, the incidence rates of seawater drowning (SWD) induced acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) increase significantly higher than before. Pulmonary interstitial edema, alveolar septum fracture, red blood cells, and inflammatory cells infiltration can be seen under light microscope in the pathologic changes of lungs. The major clinical manifestations are continual hyoxemia and acidosis, which lead to a severe condition, a high death rate, and a poor treatment effect. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are capable of self-renewal, multilineage differentiation and injured lung-homing, which are induced to differentiate into alveolar epithelial cells and pulmonary vascular endothelial cells for tissues repairing. This may be a new way to treat SWD-ALI and SW-ARDS.
