The cells from fetal nervous and hemopoietic tissues (gestational age 16-22 weeks) were subarachnoidally implanted into 15 patients of 18-to-52 year old with severe consequences of the traumatic spinal cord injure (SCI) at cervical or thoracic spine level. The times after SCI were from 1 month to 6 years. The number of fetal cell transplantations (FCT) into a patient varied from 1 to 4. The time intervals between FCT were 14-to-30 days. In 11 of 15 cases FCT was performed immediately after resection of the connective tissue cyst(s) that has been formed within the site of SCI. Before FCT the neurological state of each of the patients was characterized by complete motor and sensory function disorder and was consistent with a grade A of SCI according to Frankel classification. With FCT therapy, the neurological state of 6 patients became clinically consistent with C grade of SCI. These patients received an ability to walk with the aid of crutches or a special hinged apparatus. The less, although noticeable, clinical improvements were noted in other 5 FCT-treated patients. Their state became consistent with grade B of SCI and was characterized by appearance of contracting activity in some muscles and incomplete restoration of sensitivity. Lastly, 4 patients subjected to FCT therapy did not demonstrate any clinical improvements. No serious complications of FCT were noted. The results presented herein point out a clinical relevance of the FCT-based approach to treating severe consequences of SCI.
