Patient name: Chen
Gender: male
Age: 55

"I have much better control of my urine and defecation" Mr. Chen looks so relieved with his improvements after his stem cell treatment for spinal cord injury when we made this interview.
He was suffered from cervical injury (C6-C7) of surgical cord injury (SCI) in a car accident in fall of 2004. He underwent CT-guided stem cell transplantation twice and lumbar puncture transplantation once during his treatment in our center in June 2007 when is 3 years after his SCI.
The following is the comparison for Mr. Chen before and after his stem cell treatment for spinal cord injury.

Before stem cell treatment:
1. Ability to sit without any help
2. Poor control in waist strength
3. Sensation of pain and warmth level is 2 cm above the nipple
4. Sense of touch is present all over the body
5. Numbness in his hands while sleeping
6. Obvious perspiration dysfunction in his right limbs and his right chest and back
7. No sweating below his waist
8. Poor motor function of both lower limbs
9. Inability to stand by himself, let alone walking
10. Inability to reach the back (he could not scratch his back by himself)
11. Ability to feel bowel and bladder, with dry stool and frequent urination (250-300ml each time)
After stem cell treatment:
1. No numbness in two hands while sleeping
2. Improved perspiration function in his right limbs and his right thoracic dorsal
3. Sweating level lowered from waist to bottom
4. Normalized skin temperature of lower limbs including the feet
5. Ability to walk for at least 10 minutes with the help of walking aid
6. Significantly increased muscular strength when he is standing up and standing
7. Better sensation ability (feeling of pain) in bottom and lower limbs, e.g. he can feel pain during muscular and intravenous injections
8. Increased ability to control urination and stool softening
9. Normalized urination with 350-450ml each time
His family and he are happy and grateful to these improvements brought by stem cell treatment for spinal cord injury. They want to share their happiness and experience to everyone who are suffering from SCI. Bless him.
