Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a chronic lung disease that develops in low-birth-weight infants as a result of mechanical ventilation and oxygen toxicity in the early neonatal period. In these patients, mechanical ventilation and oxygen support are needed for a long time. We already use antenatal steroid, ventilation techniques with minimal baro/volutrauma, postnatal steroid, and vitamin A to prevent the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Mesenchymal stem cell treatment is another way to reduce or stop the pathophysiologic pathways in the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Herein, we present mesenchymal stem cell treatment and its outcomes in twins who were born with a gestational age of 26 weeks and diagnosed as having bronchopulmonary dysplasia (the female twin was born with a birth weight of 750 g and the male twin was born with a birth weight of 930 g). These patients were followed up with clinical findings, chest radiography, and lung ultrasonography.
支气管肺发育不良是一种慢性肺部疾病,发生于低体重出生的婴儿,是由于新生儿早期机械通气和氧中毒所致。对于这些患者,需要长时间进行机械通气和氧支持。我们已经使用产前类固醇、采用最小化气压/容积伤的通气技术、产后类固醇以及维生素A来预防支气管肺发育不良的发生。间充质干细胞治疗是另一种减少或阻断支气管肺发育不良发生过程中病理生理途径的方法。在此,我们介绍了对一对孕26周出生、被诊断为支气管肺发育不良的双胞胎进行间充质干细胞治疗及其结果(女婴出生体重750克,男婴出生体重930克)。通过临床检查、胸部X线摄影和肺部超声对这些患者进行了随访。
