    Abstract:

    Objective: To assess the effect of auto bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) transplantation on reendothelialization and neointima formation in vein grafts. Methods: BMMNCs were extracted from the bone marrows of adult rabbit under sterile environment and were labelled with DAPI before transplanted into vein grafts. Twenty adult rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups: BMMNCs transplantation group(group Ⅰ ,n= 10) and PBS transplantation group (group Ⅱ , n= 10). The left external jugular vein of 20 rabbits were harvested and transplanted between ipsolateral common carotid artery (AVG). Three days later, animals in group Ⅰ were transplanted with BMMNCs(6×10^8 cells)/100μl via periotic veins and those in group Ⅱ were injected with 100 μl PBS. Animals were killed 4 weeks later and graft veins were harvested to observe the reendothelialization and the thickness of vein grafts. Results: We found that the transplanted cells survived and were incorporated into the endothelium of vein grafts in group Ⅰ. The endothelium integrity of the vein grafts in group Ⅰ was significantly better than that of group Ⅱ. The intima thickness of vein grafts in group Ⅰ was significantly thicker than that of groupU. Condusion.. BMMCs transplantation therapy may improve reendothelialization of the vein graft and inhibits intimal hyperplasi the vein graft
