To cure one patient with spinal cord injury (SCI), who hospitalized for both legs couldn't moving for 21 years after external injury, by using the olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) transplant and acupuncture treatment. The patient was diagnosed as ischemic SCI (below the T11) according to the neurological test and MRI for dorsal vertebra. T11 spinous process was made to be the center mark through operation with the length of about 3 cm. The area between the atrophique spinal cord and normal spinal cord without vessel was selected and injected with OECs 0.5?109 L-1. Hemostasis, stitching, binging and fixation were performed respectively, and normal treatment was given by using antibiotics. At 14 days after operation, the temperature on skin increased a little, and acupuncture treatment and rehabilitation therapy were performed. The acupoints were as following: Baihui (DU21), Yintang (EX-HN3), Hegu (LI4), Zhongji (RN3), Guanyuan (RN4), Biguan (ST31), Fengshi (GB31), Futu (ST32), Dubi (EX-LE5), Zusanli (ST36), Xuehai (SP10), Yinlingquan (SP9), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Jiexi (ST41), Taixi (KI3), Fuliu (KI7), Taichong (LR3), and Shenmai (BL62). The treatment was given by mild reinforcing and attenuating with 30-minute retention. The rehabilitation: The needle pressing, manipulation for muscular atrophy, bicycle practicing, andimperative standing were performed. After 2 weeks, the skin temperature of the patient increased with obvious improvement in his right leg. The physical strength of the patient was reinforced with less perspiration, and the patient could walk 3 km without fatigue, which indicated that after OECs transplant, treatment with acupuncture, massage and other rehabilitation trainings could facilitated the improvement of SCI of the advance stage as well as the amelioration of muscular atrophy.
