Summary
Thyroid tissue autotransplantation into the omentum is efficient in rats. Injecting autologous bone marrow cells into the transplant enhances its viability and restores hormonal function.
Area of Science:
- Regenerative Medicine
- Endocrinology
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Thyroid tissue transplantation is a potential therapeutic strategy.
- Maintaining graft viability and function post-transplantation remains a challenge.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of autotransplanting thyroid tissue into the greater omentum in a rat model.
- To investigate the role of autologous adherent bone marrow cells in enhancing transplant survival and function.
Main Methods:
- Autotransplantation of thyroid tissue into the greater omentum of rats.
- Injection of cell suspension from autologous adherent bone marrow cells directly into the thyroid transplant.
Main Results:
- Successful autotransplantation of thyroid tissue into the greater omentum.
- High viability of the transplanted thyroid tissue was observed.
- Restoration of hormonal thyroid activity was achieved post-injection of bone marrow cells.
Conclusions:
- Autotransplantation of thyroid tissue into the greater omentum is an effective procedure in rats.
- Co-transplantation with autologous bone marrow cells significantly improves graft viability and restores thyroid function.
