title: [The transplantation of beta-cell cultures in the treatment of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in children].
abstract: Over 100 transplantations were performed in 86 children and adolescents with a severe course of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. A good effect was achieved in 81 +/- 6%, in other cases the effect was uncertain. Therapy resulted in a significantly higher rate of cases of stable compensation with a lesser number of injections and a stable dose of insulin, in stabilization and regression of some complications. Transplantation was followed by an increase in the level of C-peptide 3-4 times as compared to the basal one for a period of 6 mos. A better effect was noted in a group of patients with a high residual secretion of C-peptide. An assumption was made of simultaneous secretory activity of a graft and residual beta-cell-stimulated endogenous production of insulin.
