CD34+AC133+ cells isolated from cord blood are highly enriched in long-term culture-initiating cells, NOD/SCID-repopulating cells and dendritic cell progenitors.
The AC133 antigen is a novel antigen selectively expressed on a subset of CD34+ cells in human fetal liver, bone marrow, and blood as demonstrated by flow cytometric analyses.
In this study, we have further assessed the expression of AC133 on CD34+ cells in hemopoietic samples and found that there was a highly significant difference between normal bone marrow and cord blood versus aphereses (p <0.0001) but not between bone marrow and cord blood. Most of the clonogenic cells (67%) were contained in the CD34+AC133+ fraction. Compared with cultures of the CD34+AC133- cells, generation of progenitor cells in long-term culture on bone marrow stroma was consistently 10- to 100-fold higher in cultures initiated with CD34+AC133+ cells and was maintained for the 8-10 weeks of culture.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a case of post-total body irradiation colitis.
Abstract: We report a 21-year-old man who experienced symptoms of colitis following autologous TBI-conditioned PBSC transplantation, which persisted despite conventional treatment. Abdominal echography showed a thickened, stratified wall of the...

Effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on survival after global cerebral ischemia in rats.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) has been considered for many years for the treatment of severe brain ischemia. However, its efficacy has not been proven. The aim of this study was to shed light on this question. Acute global cerebral...
Affective Style and Affective Disorders: Perspectives from Affective Neuroscience
Abstract Individual differences in emotional reactivity or affective style can be decomposed into more elementary constituents. Several separable of affective style are identified such as the threshold for reactivity, peak amplitude of response,...
Hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of migraine with aura.
Abstract: Cephalalgia is one of the most common medical complaints and the search continues for relief. Early treatments for migraine included inhalation of 100% oxygen. It has been theorized that the increased levels of oxygen in the blood act as...
Cardiovascular effects of two different regional anaesthetic techniques for unilateral leg surgery.
Abstract: Cardiovascular function was assessed in 20 ASA I-II patients, scheduled for elective orthopaedic surgery with tourniquet in order to compare the haemodynamic changes induced by unilateral spinal anaesthesia and combined sciatico-femoral...
Topical hyperbaric oxygen and low energy laser for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers.
Abstract: Fifty patients with chronic diabetic foot ulcers in whom conventional therapy had failed were treated with topical hyperbaric oxygen alone (15 patients) or in combination with a low energy laser (35 patients). Eleven of these patients...
