Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Adipose Derived Stem Cells are effective in the treatment of Premature Ovarian Failure (POF). Stem cell transplantation has been reported to rescue ovarian function in a pre-clinical mouse model of chemotherapy-induced POF; however, maintaining the survival of transplanted cells in human ovarian tissues to enable the POF patients regain ovary function over the long-term and achieving a successful pregnancy remain a troublesome issue. In this study the investigators are aiming to determine whether the CD29+/CD44+ human Adipose Derived Stem Cells could later enable ovaries produce mature oocytes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study was to explore the therapeutic potency of the adipose derived stem cells (ADSC) transplantation for premature ovarian failure (POF) women underwent Autologous fat transplantation. The serum of each patient were kept and sent for laboratory test before the surgery. 100ml fat was harvested from the abdomen of POF patient using abdominal fat abortion. And ADSC were isolated and cultured in vitro using autologous serum. The biomarkers of ADSC, CD29 and CD44, were detected in the ADSC cultures using Flow cytometry detection. The ADSC were then transplanted directly into bilateral ovaries when cells reach a density of 5-10×106. The clinical conditions of patients were examined at 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks after the transplantation. Ovarian functions were evaluated by follicle diameter and sexual hormone levels. The follicle number was counted and radiology data were kept for future analysis. To ensure high rate of pregnancy, intercourse under medical guidance may be suggested and hormone replacement treatment may be taken to help the patients conceive.

Main Outcome Measure(s): Serum FSH,LH,E2 levels, recurrence of Menstruation, Antral follicle diameter,and pregnancy.
