Abstract:Introduction: AVF is the best option for hemodialysis access, but its patency rate drops after one year. UC-MSCs were used to reduce inflammation and promote vascular tissue repair in AVF rabbit models. Methods: In this study, 28 male domestic rabbits (Lepus Domestica) were divided into four groups: KN as a negative control, KP as a positive control with placebo therapy, P1 as the treatment group with in situ UC-MSCs, and P2 as the treatment group with intravenous UC-MSCs. The UC-MSCs dose administered was 1,0… Show more
