Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Umbilical cord MSCs Group
1*10^7 Umbilical cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)

Participants will receive direct local intramuscular injection of 1*10^7 MSCs (in 1ml of 0.9% saline) in the uterine incision.


Outcome Measures

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety evaluation through vital signs, the results of clinical lab tests and adverse events [ Time Frame: 6 months post treatment ]
    Safety evaluation through vital signs, the results of clinical lab tests and adverse events.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of participants with uterine niche [ Time Frame: 6 months post treatment ]
    The niche is defined as a triangular anechoic area at the presumed site of incision in the uterus by transvaginal utrasonography.

  2. Change of uterine scar thickness [ Time Frame: 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months post treatment ]
    The scar thickness be measured using a transvaginal utrasonography

  3. Change of uterine scar area [ Time Frame: 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months post treatment ]
    The scar area will be measured using a transvaginal utrasonography

  4. Number of participants with endometritis [ Time Frame: 6 months post treatment ]
    Endometritis is defined as the presence of at least two of the following signs with no other recognized cause: fever (temperature of at least 38℃), abdominal pain, uterine tenderness, or purulent drainage from the uterus.

  5. Number of participants with wound infection [ Time Frame: 6 months post treatment ]
    Wound infection is defined as the presence of either superficial or deep incisional surgical-site infection characterized by cellulitis or erythema and induration around the incision or purulent discharge from the incision site with or without fever and included necrotizing fasciitis.

  6. Immunoglobulin concentrations in breast milk and serum [ Time Frame: 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months post treatment ]
    Breast milk and serum immunoglobulin (IgG, IgA, IgM) and the complement (C3, C4) are detected by transmission immune turbidity method using automatic biochemical analyzer.

  7. Adverse events occurrence [ Time Frame: 6 months post treatment ]
    Adverse events will be evaluated since the baseline visit until 6 months after the end of the treatment.
