Abstract:

BACKGROUND: There is a certain association between stem cells, microenvironment and methods for promoting blood circulation and removing stasis.
OBJECTIVE: To propose a perspective of “kidney properties” of promoting blood circulation and removing stasis by elaborating the correlation and interactions of stem cells and microenvironment with methods for promoting blood circulation and removing stasis.
METHODS: A computer-based search of Chinese Journal Full-text Database, Wanfang and PubMed was performed for articles published form 2009 to 2015 addressing improving stem cell proliferation and differentiation by promoting blood circulation and removing stasis as well as microenvironments. The keywords were “bone mesenchymal stem cells, transformation, differentiation, blood-activation and stasis-resolved method, microenvironment” in Chinese and English, respectively. Finally, 32 literatures were reviewed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Stem cells homing to the damaged tissue trigger an “environment- dependent differentiation”, that is, stem cells can differentiate into myocardial cells, vascular endothelial cells and other injured tissues and cells under local special microenvironments. Microenvironment as an assembly for integrating dynamic, microscopic changes as well as development of a variety of indices is of great importance for stem cell survival, proliferation and differentiation. Recipes for promoting blood circulation and removing stasis are involved to regulate multi-steps and multi-targets during stem cell homing. Theoretically, this review attempts to investigate correlation among stem cells, microenvironment and methods for promoting blood circulation and removing stasis in association with previous preclinical and clinical findings. Here, we further refine the view of “kidney properties” of promoting blood circulation and removing stasis and clarify that stem cells as the material basis of “kidney properties” of promoting blood circulation and removing stasis is the main executor for promoting blood circulation and removing stasis. This paper is of a certain value for fully revealing the scientific connotation of the theory of promoting blood circulation and removing stasis.
