Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
SLE patients in the treated group were given human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells by intravenous infusion. Participants will receive a single IV infusion of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) 1 x 10^6 cells/kg in Plasma-Lyte A solution. All patients received standard immunosuppressive treatment, which consisted of intravenous methylprednisolone and cyclophosphamide, followed by maintenance oral prednisolone and mycophenolate mofetil. All participants will receive the infusion at the Baseline (Day 0) visit. All patients after treatment for 1, 3 and 6months were evaluated respectively the curative effect.
