Abstract Background: stem cells have tha capacity of both self-renewal and multilineage differentiation. They have the ability to proliferate and differentiate into any type of cell. Bernat Soria and coworkers showed how to guide stem cells in animals to differentiate in specific cell lineages as neurons,cardiomyocytes an insulin-secreting cells (Diabetologia2001;44:407–415).Therapeutic angiogenesis has recently been developed as a new method of treatment for several ischaemic diseases performing stem cell transplantation. Ernesto Novoa et al. reported in march 2007 the Conzi’s Effect inhuman diabetes mellitus (Archivos de Medicina Interna2007;XXIX suppl1:S24.25). After therapeutic angiogenesis the patients discontinued antidiabetic treatment as a consequence of normalization in glucose metabolism. Aims: to study the bahaviour in glucose metabolism in a group of patients receiving autologous bone marrow transplantation for arterial ischaemic limb disease and prior mobilization with G-CSF. To evaluate the safety of the procedure. Methods: from july 2004 to july 2007, 71 patients developing severe arterial limb ischaemia (candidates to amputation) were included in this study. 40 men and 31 women. Median age 66 years old (44–86). Mobilized with filgrastim (Neupogen) 5 ug/kg weight daily (5 days). Bone marrow harvest at 6th day. Local anaesthesia was performed in all the patients. Unmanipulated cells, concentrated by gradient of density, were injected in the affected limb in 2 ml aliquots into the gastrocnemius muscle. Mean volume 40 ml. Follop up of each patient was done regularly evaluating: amputation, rest pain, frequency of analgesics intake, healing of the ulcers, peak walking time, insulin or oral antidiabetic drugs required. Doppler and angiographic test were also performed. The mean number of injected mononuclear cells was 1,9 x109/kg. All the patients received low molecular weight heparin (nadroparin, Fraxiparine)3800–5600 IU anti-Xa subcutaneously, aspirin 81 mg and pentoxifiline 400 mg daily, as medical treatment after the procedure for at least 60 to 90 days. A control population of 67 patients affected by severe arterial limb ischaemia was considered. They didn’t receive angiogenic treatment. Results: there was no treatment related mortality. In the control group 65 patients were amputated. In the “ABMT Group” 3 patients received amputation of the lower limb. The statistical difference between the two groups was highly significant in favor of the angiogenic group. They were evaluated by the chi square test and log rank test with a p value < 0,05. In the ABMT Group, 33% of type 1 diabetes and 74% of type 2 diabetes, discontinued their antidiabetic treatment for more than 3 months after ABMT. Conclusions: autologous bone marrow transplantatioan can be performed safely and appears to be a benefical therapy for selected patients with severe peripheral arterial occlusive disease and diabetes mellitus. novoa.je@gmail.com

Abstract This research aims to examine the implementation of cognitive behaviour therapy to self-confidence of people with disability at Wyata Guna Social Institution for People with Visual Impaired, the subject is 1 person, total visual impaired (IK), 20 years old, has low confidence according to the observation conducted in accordance with confidence characteristic by Peter Lauster (2002) related to stuttering, less participate in starting talk, aloof behaviour and supported by the score of Peter Lauster (2002) self-confidence test translated by Gulo that IK has low confidence characteristic. The method used action research with Single Subject Design ABA model which is aimed to monitor IK behaviour on baseline (A1), intervention and baseline (A2) phase.The result showed that the Cognitive Behavior Therapy intervention proved to enhance self-confidence of people with visual impaired. According to the observation there is a change in positive and significant that is proven from the hypothesis result to the bahavior where the deviation gained is greater than 2 standard deviant (2SD). Moreover it is also supported by the score of self-confidence test of Peter Lauster (2002) on the post-test that has increased with strong average category. Researcher also performed epsilon variable measurement to know the determination coefficient level with a score of 94% while the 6% is the epsilon variable outside factor of Cognitive Behavior Therapy such as influence from family especially parents and peer influence in the environment of subject that contributes to self-confidence of research subject (IK). The interview result showed that IK experienced positive benefit by following the intervention program.
