A hybrid transplantation system using skeletal muscle-derived multipotent stem cells (Sk-MSCs) and bioabsorbable polyglyconate (PGA) felt was applied to coverage of the tracheal large-hole and the bronchial stump model, for the purpose of nerve-blood vessel supplementation to prevent tissue necrosis. Sk-MSCs were obtained from green-fluorescent transgenic (GFP-Tg) mouse muscles after 5 days of expansion culture. Experimental tracheal large-hole and bronchial stump following pneumonectomy were prepared using C57BL6N mice, and damaged portions were covered with PGA felt, which was then impregnated with expanded Sk-MSCs. At 2-10 weeks... view more»
