Twenty rats underwent stroke (transient middle cerebral
artery occlusion, MCAo) and 12 sham surgery. At Day8,
MCAo rats received an intravenous injection of either
cell suspension medium (n=10) or of human mesenchymal
stem cells (hMSCs, n=10). ADC was mapped at 7T from Day3
to Day16. ADC changes were assessed by parametric
response map (PRM), a voxel-based analysis. PRM showed
that the fraction of the lesion with decreased ADC was
significantly higher in MCAo-PBS than MCAo-hMSC at Day9,
suggesting that hMSCs decreased the post-ischemic
cellular edema. This difference revealed by PRM, was
masked by mean-value comparisons.
