title: [The effect of intracerebral mesenchymal stem cells transplantation on the density of microvascular network of the pial matter of the rat brain cortex].
abstract: Using a TV installation for studying the microcirculation (with 30-160-fold magnification), the density of microvascular network in the pia matter of the rat brain sensomotor cortex was determined after intracerebral transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) or (as control) of the MSC cultivation nutrition medium, or of saline. The results have shown that intracerebral transplantation does not change density of microvascular network in the pia mater of the ipsilateral hemisphere. Transplantation of the MSC led to a 1.8-fold increase of density of the pia matter of the contralateral hemisphere as compared with control animals; the number of arterioles in the same zone was 2.5-fold higher than in intact rats.
