Materials and Methods: The 1 st surgery involving the insertion of plastic membrane in the transected cord was performed to prevent spontaneous healing of adult female rats (n=20, g) with a complete spinal cord transection. The media was inserted only after removing the previously inserted plastic membrane in the control group (n=6). In the experimental group (n=14), media and neural stem cell (1 ) were transplanted after removing the membrane, and immunohistochemical staining was performed. The experimental group was perfused transcardially 5 weeks after the 2 nd surgery, and the level of neural cell regeneration determined by immunohistochemical staining. In behavioral analysis, the Basso-Beatie-Bresnahan (BBB) scores of the control and experimental group were compared weekly from immediately after the injury until 5 weeks post-injury after the 2 nd surgery. Results: Immunohistochemical stain revealed no neural regeneration in the control group. On the other hand, the survival of transplanted human neural stem cells and remarkable neural regeneration (differentiate to neuron and astrocyte) were observed in the experimental group. In the BBB locomotor scale, the experimental group showed significant recovery in terms of control; and the score increased from postoperative 2 weeks to 3 weeks, and reached a plateau from 3 weeks to 5 weeks. Conclusion: The effect of neural stem cells differentiated from human telencephalon on cord regeneration does not produce functional recovery in the BBB locomotor scale, but there is slight recovery of the muscle function. The survival of transplanted human neural stem cells and the possibility of differentiation to neurons or astrocytes were observed.
