Stem cells from fat hold hope for vascular disease victims

With a blockage restricting blood flow, William Buckman was in danger of losing his left leg.

But he found hope through an experimental treatment using stem cells from his own fat to help get the blood flowing again.

The procedure, being tested by a University of Louisville surgeon, uses the stem cells as a lining for man-made bypass grafts routed through tissue alongside blocked arteries in the leg. With the stem cells, the grafts are more like a patient’s own vein.

“I jumped at the chance” to participate, said Buckman, a 54-year-old married father of three from Louisville. “The idea of the stem cells intrigued me.”

Buckman, who underwent the procedure in late April, is one of three patients who have been treated in the one-of-a-kind clinical trial, in which the fat-derived stem cells are extracted with a machine while the patient is under anesthesia.

“We believe this process improves long-term results. And it’s doable in one procedure,” said Dr. Charles Ross, chief of the Division of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapeutics at U of L and lead investigator in the trial.

Dr. Michael Jaff, medical director of the Vascular Center at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, said lining a graft with a living part of the patient may significantly improve the chances it will work for the long term.

“It’s very exciting research,” said Jaff, who is not involved in the study. “These are the types of novel approaches that could have a major impact.”

Stem cells from fat are at the cutting edge of science and are a significant focus of the Cardiovascular Innovation Institute, a partnership between U of L and Jewish Hospital & St. Mary’s HealthCare. Stuart Williams, executive and scientific director of the institute, devised the cell-isolation procedure used in the trial.

“Everything right now — knock on wood — is fantastic,” Williams said. “I couldn’t be happier for these patients.”

Seeking better graft performancePeripheral vascular disease affects 8 million Americans and develops when arteries, such as those in the legs, become clogged with fatty deposits. Besides causing pain and weakness, limited blood flow to the legs raises the risk of heart attack or stroke and can lead to amputation.

One way to treat the disease is with a bypass. It’s best to use a patient’s own vein, doctors said, but conditions such as varicose veins or clots can preclude that, so man-made grafts are sometimes necessary. But those grafts don’t work as well. The chance a bypass with a man-made graft will still work after a year is about 35 percent to 40 percent, Ross said, compared with 70 percent when a vein is used.

A couple of years ago, Buckman had a man-made bypass graft, which wasn’t lined with fat-derived stem cells, that eventually failed. Doctors then said amputation was a real possibility.

“No one wants to hear that,” Buckman said, adding that he had no qualms about the experimental nature of the U of L study.

We’ll be the worms in your apple pie
Fake abuse for our bios, blacken our own eyes
Grass isn’t greener on the other side
We set it on fire, and we have no reason why

We set fashion, not follow
Spit vitriol, not swallow
We set fashion, not follow
Spit vitriol, not swallow

Good for nothing but being
Everything that’s bad
Good for nothing but being
Everything that’s bad

We know who we are and what we want to say
And we don’t care who’s listening
We don’t rebel to sell, it just suits us well
We’re the bright young things

I’ve got my villain necktie
And a mouth of hi-fi
So sharp, I’m bleeding from my Judas hole
I’m the Arch Dandy
No-goodnik and I’m headed for Crashville
I’m a most monster with the groan box
In the “Meat Show”

We set fashion, not follow
Spit vitriol, not swallow
We set fashion, not follow
Spit vitriol, not swallow

Good for nothing but being
Everything that’s bad
Good for nothing but being
Everything that’s bad

We know who we are and what we want to say
And we don’t care who’s listening
We don’t rebel to sell, it just suits us well
We’re the bright young things

Crashing the ether
We got the loudest stereotype
Even neophytes deep six your pro-life
We don’t need to move a single prayer bone
We’re so beautiful and damned
Simply as “Style Life”

Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause
Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause
Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause
Perpetual rebellion with absolutely no cause

Stop the song an remember what you used to be
Somebody that could fucking impress me

We know who we are and what we want to say
And we don’t care who’s listening
We don’t rebel to sell
It just suits us well
We’re the bright young things

We know who we are and what we want to say
And we don’t care who’s listening
We don’t rebel to sell
It just suits us well
We’re the bright young things

Good for nothing but being
Everything that’s bad
Good for nothing but being
Everything that’s bad

Review about The Bright Young Things

A Closer Look at Marilyn Manson’s Song – By: A Bright Young Thing
We live our lives totally passively, us bright young things. Oh sure, the schools and teachers we interact with will give us a nice little lecture about intelligence and self-worth. But their actions speak louder than their words.

The next time a teacher, or anyone for that matter complains that a kid in this generation they’re working with is lazy. There are two things they need to consider. One, they’re probably right. But more importantly, how important it is to reverse that. Whether it’s being lectured to in school, playing a video game, or listening to adults who support this lifestyle, we bright young things have been turned into passive, whimpy, conformist yuppies. Oh yes! We are aware of it, and we are pissed!

It’s time to rise up! Kids need to scream out to the world that is screwing them over and get their peice of the pie. Time to set fashion, not follow. It’s time to spit the vitriol, and all the other bullshit society is feeding us, not swallow another drop of it. We know what’s going on in the world, us bright young things. We’re not happy about it. And we’re trying to do something about it. Doesn’t take a revolution. I’m simply making my voice heard by writing and submitting this review. Marilyn Manson would most likely agree with my views on America and society. And that is why I am a die-hard fan and am in love with all his work. The messages in this review is what his song, “The Bright Young Things,” says to me. Hope it is somewhat accurate to others.
