Diffusion Tensor Imaging of Corticospinal Tract Recovery after Intra-arterial Mesenchymal Stem Cell Infusion in a Canine Stroke Model (P1.266)
Conclusions:Serial DTI-DTT imaging after IA MSCs therapy in large animal stroke model appears to have a trend towards higher change in FA.

Predictive Risk Factors of In-Hospital Mortality Following Acute Stroke in the United States: Data from the Nationwide Inpatient Database, 2006-2010 (P02.015)
CONCLUSIONS: The rate of in-hospital mortality is relatively high following acute stroke (8.42%). We identified multiple risk factors of in-hospital mortality in acute stroke patients. The strongest risk factor is the type stroke (hemorrhagic). The present finding suggests that patients at increased risk of mortality can be identified and additional treatment for prevention might be warranted.Disclosure: Dr. Naderi has nothing to disclose.

A Randomized Control Trial of Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) Intervention in Acute Ischemic Stroke to Improve Functional Outcome (P1.139)
Conclusions: Endogenous mobilization of bonemarrow hematopoietic stem cells by GCSF administration perhaps leads to better functional outcome. This study provides preliminary evidence of potential safety, feasibility, and tolerability of G-CSF therapy in patients with acute ischaemic stroke. The safety and modest efficacy demonstrated in this study augurs for further studies with a larger sample sizes and longer follow ups.Disclosure: Dr. Gorthi has nothing to disclose.

Electrical Stimulation of Neural Stem Cells Improves Stroke Recovery (P1.005)
Conclusions: Our results show that electrically preconditioned NSCs enhance stroke recovery. Gene expression of the thrombospondins (a family of matricellular proteins thought to be involved with angiogenesis and inflammation) and VEGF (proteins critical to angiogenesis) were found to be modified by electrically stimulating NSCs, suggesting possible mechanisms for functional recovery.Disclosure: Dr. George has nothing to disclose.

Effects of Intra-Arterial Delivery of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Infarct Size and Neurological Outcome in Rat Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Model: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (P4.216)
Conclusions:Meta-analysis of IA MSCs studies showed significantly improvement in mNSS and reduction of infarct volume in rat MCAO model at 7 and 14 days after treatment compared to control with saline/PBS/no treatment. Lower effect size was seen at 28 days. Larger effect size was also seen in subgroup receiving therapy <24 hours after stroke onset. Early clinical trials of this novel approach are hence well supported.Disclosure: Dr. Atchaneeyasakul has nothing to disclose. Dr. Watanabe has nothing to disclose. Dr. Zhang has nothing to disclose.

Ethical clinical translation of stem cell interventions for neurologic disease
The application of stem cell transplants in clinical practice has increased in frequency in recent years. Many of the stem cell transplants in neurologic diseases, including stroke, Parkinson disease, spinal cord injury, and demyelinating diseases, are unproven—they have not been tested in prospective, controlled clinical trials and have not become accepted therapies. Stem cell transplant procedures currently being carried out have therapeutic aims, but are frequently experimental and unregulated, and could potentially put patients at risk. In some cases, patients undergoing such operations are not included in a clin...
