Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the changes of clinical and paraclinical characteristics in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients after treatment umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cell. Subject and method: 15 stable COPD patients were enrolled with C and D groups in accordance with GOLD 2018. Patients were infused intravenously allogeneic umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cell with dosage of 1.5 x 106 MSCs per kilogram of weight every 6 months for 12 months. Patients were followed every 3 months for 12 months: Clinical symptoms, quality-of-life (CAT), mMRC, and 6 minute walking test (6MWT), number of exacerbations, CRP, lung function test and arterial blood gas. Result: There was a significantly reduced mMRC score, CAT indexes, number of exacerbation and improve 6MWT values. However, the forced expiratory volume in 1 second, but CRP levels were no significantly reduced after treatment (6 and 12 months) compared with those before the treatment. Conclusion: Allogeneic MSCs administration has initially improved symptoms, quality of life, exercise tolerance and reduced exacerbations in COPD patients with C and D groups.
