Biological: human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells
Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were peripheral intravenous infused to experimental group. |
Placebo Comparator: control group
The control group will be given the same dose of saline containing human albumin.
|
Other: human serum albumin
Saline solution containing 1 percent human serum albumin will be infused to the control group. |
