Brief Summary:
Mainstream of current treatment of liver cirrhosis is liver transplantation, but there are high cost, risk and immune rejection and other issues. Umbilical cord mesenchyma stem cell with self-and directed differentiation capacity can effectively rescue experimental liver failure and contribute to liver regeneration, which suggests the feasibility of stem cell transplantation therapy. In this study, the safety and efficacy of umbilical cord mesenchyma stem cell transplantation through interventional procedures in patients liver cirrhosis will be evaluated.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Other Surgical Procedures Procedure: stem cell transplantation through interventional procedures Phase 2 Phase 3

Detailed Description:
This study included three research centers, each center were carried out 25 cases of liver cirrhosis in patients with stem cell transplantation. All the selection and exclusion criteria are same, data summary and analysis will be complete by the epidemiological commissioner.
