Title of your Abstract : 17β-Estradiol Enhances the Efficacy of Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Remyelination in Mouse Model of Multiple Sclerosis
country : Turkey
From : Wednesday, November 12, 2014
To : Saturday, November 15, 2014
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Introduction: Previous studies have demonstrated the potential of monotherapy with either mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or estrogen in autoimmune and cuprizone models of multiple sclerosis (MS). 
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of co-administration 
of 17β-estradiol (E2) and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) on remyelination of corpus callosum axons in a cuprizone model of MS.
Method: Forty eight male C57BL/6 mice were fed cuprizone (0.2%) for 6 weeks. At day 0 after cuprizone removal, animals were randomly divided into four groups. The E2 monotherapy, ADSCs monotherapy, E2/ADSCs combined therapy and vehicle control. 
Some mice of the same age were fed with their normal diet to serve
as healthy control group. E2 pellets, designed to release 5.0 mg E2
over 10 days, were implanted subcutaneously. 106 PKH26 labeled ADSCs were transplanted into lateral tail. Th extent of demyelination, remyelination, and cell type’s composition of host brain were examined at 10 days post-transplantation in the body of the corpus callosum. Results:Transplanted cells migrated to the corpus callosum injury. Histological examination revealed efficacy of intravenous ADSCs transplantation in remyelination of mouse cuprizone model of MS can be significantly enhanced by E2 administration. Flow cytometry showed that the mean percentages of expression of Iba-1, Olig2 and O4 were significantly increased in E2/ADSCs combined therapy in comparison with ADSCs monotherapy.
Conclusion: the findings of this study revealed that E2 administration enhanced efficacy of intravenous ADSCs transplantation in remyelination of corpus callosum axons in mouse cuprizone model of MS.

Please inform us if there are any follow up actions we need to talk with the members of the congress : No special thing to mention. The congress was scheduled for 3 days where recent developments in cervical spine ,surgery of cervical spine were reviewed.This congress was very good and benefit for Young scientific , neurological surgeons and for Anatomist participate. Poster presentatiopn were presented 2 minutes .
Your experiences about the travel processes(Providing ticket, accommodation,...) : The financial suport of Tehran university of medical sciences is not enough for providing ticket ,registration and accomodation...
Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : The main goal of the APCSS meeting was to pave the way for a scientific environment where recent developments in cervical spine were reviewed the results of research were discussed and ideas were exchanged.They also have been discussing the regional and global aspects of social political and economic issues related to spine surgery. Most of the participant were Orthopeic surgeons or Neurosurgen......and their researches were about the new aprroch to cervical spine and to aneurysm and tumors and neurosurgical endoscopy .They had only oral presentation and poster presentation .
