Implantation of Olfactory Ensheathing Cells (OECs)
Implantation of Olfactory Ensheathing Cells (OECs)
Recruited patients should receive the endoscopic surgery for picking the olfactory mucosa 1
 to 2 months before transplantation. The Olfactory Ensheathing Cells (OECs) will be cultured
 and expanded under the rule of GTP. Then, quality control of OECs should be done by
 immunohistochemical staining positive for GFAP, S100, and P75. Finally, the investigators
 will transplant the OECs (about 2 to 8 X 10´6 cells in saline) into the peri-infarcted area
 of the brain.

 traditional drug therapy (such as used the anti-thrombosis reagent or anti-platelet
 aggregation reagent). (3) NIH-stroke scale (NIHSS), European stroke scale (ESS), European
 stroke motor subscale (EMS), Barthel Index(BI) and MMSE will be performed for each patient to
 evaluate the therapeutic effect as the primary end points. (4) In addition, MRI(DTI) &
 TMS(MEP) will be also checked for each recruitment patient as the secondary end points.
