Stem cell therapy for ischemic heart disease

BACKGROUND: Stem cell transplantation is a promising strategy for treatment of ischemic heart diseases, which has obtained great achievements in recent years. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical trends of stem cell therapy for ischemic heart diseases reported from 2001 to 2015 in Medline, CNKI, Wanfang, ClinicalTrials.gov and Chinese Clinical Trial Register.METHODS: The relevant articles addressing stem cell therapy for ischemic heart diseases were retrieved using the keywords of “stem cell transplantation” and “ischemic heart disease” in Chinese and English in Medline, CNKI, Wanfang, ClinicalTrials.gov and Chinese Clinical Trial Register followed by statistical analysis. The retrieval time was from 2001 to 2015, including 2001-2005, 2006-2010 and 2011-2015. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In Medline database, there were 219 clinical studies about stem cell therapy for ischemic heart disease published from 2001 to 2015, and the number of retrieved articles was most from 2006 to 2010, and decreased from 2011 to 2015. In CNKI and Wanfang databases, the number of relevant articles which had a similar trend with that in the Medline database decreased remarkably after 2011. In ClinicalTrials.gov, there were 63 clinical trials about stem cell therapy for ischemic heart disease, most of which were registered from 2006 to 2015 and came from Europe and North America. In Chinese Clinical Trial Register, there was no clinical trial about stem cell therapy for ischemic heart disease, which may result from the strict management in China.
