Treatment of Cartilage Defects With Peripheral Blood Stem Cells
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Knee joint cartilage cells metabolize slowly, and it is difficult to repair themselves after injury. Any knee joint trauma or the progression of osteoarthritis may lead to the progression of cartilage or osteochondral defects. Compared with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), peripheral blood MSCs have better chondrogenic differentiation ability. At the same time, the mobilization of peripheral blood MSCs and the advancement of extraction technology also make it feasible to treat osteochondral damage by using peripheral blood MSCs. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the therapeutic effect of surgical transplantation of autologous peripheral blood MSCs to repair knee joint Ⅳ-degree localized cartilage injury, and to explore a new treatment for osteochondral defects based on the foundation of the research group's previous research.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the 6th month after surgery [6 months after sugery]
Magnetic Resonance Imaging，including T2-mapping sequence, to evaluate the magnetic resonance observation of cartilage repair tissue (MOCART) score of cartilage regeneration in the knee articular cartilage defect area at 6 months after sugery. The MOCART score ranges from 0 to 100 points, the higher the score, the better the repair effect.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the 12th month after surgery [12 months after sugery]
Magnetic Resonance Imaging，including T2-mapping sequence, to evaluate the MOCART score of cartilage regeneration in the knee articular cartilage defect area at 12 months after sugery
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the 24th month after surgery [24 months after sugery]
Magnetic Resonance Imaging，including T2-mapping sequence, to evaluate the MOCART score of cartilage regeneration in the knee articular cartilage defect area at 24 months after sugery
Secondary Outcome Measures
- The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) Osteoarthritis Index [3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after sugery]
The higher the WOMAC osteoarthritis index, the more severe the OA. Evaluate the severity of OA according to the following criteria: less than 80 is mild, 80-120 is moderate, and greater than 120 is severe.
- International knee documentation committee (IKDC) Knee Joint Score Sheet [3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after sugery]
IKDC is an internationally recognized score sheet for comprehensive evaluation of the subjective symptoms and objective signs of the knee joint system.

-
Suffer from the underlying medical conditions (including but not limited to metabolism, hematology, kidney, liver, lung, nerve , Endocrine, heart, infection, or gastrointestinal tract); currently suffering from a serious progressive or uncontrolled disease that is not suitable for the test or puts it at high risk, including the researchers belief that it will prevent the subject from following the protocol or completing the study according to the protocol Any medical or psychiatric condition of

Subjects who have obtained positive or uncertain results can participate in the study if they undergo a comprehensive tuberculosis examination (according to local practice/guidelines) within 12 weeks before baseline and finally prove that there is no evidence of active tuberculosis. If the presence of latent tuberculosis is confirmed, treatment must be initiated and maintained in accordance with local or national guidelines before the baseline.

-
For pregnant or lactating women, pregnancy is defined as the state of a woman after conception until the termination of pregnancy, which is confirmed by the positive result of the hCG laboratory test.
