Objectitve?To explore the mechanism of human umbilicmesenchymal cells (HUMSCs) implantation for the treatment of diabetic foot in rats associate with vascular endothelia growth factor (VEGF) expression changes. Methods?After diabetic foot model in rats were established by administration of streptozotozin (STZ) in intraperitoneal injection (2 weeks), ulceration in foot was induced by incision injury combined with swearing staphylococcus aureas. Then, HUMSCs were smeared on the ulceration of foot in diabetic rats. Ten days later, the densities of blood vessel and the level of VEGF expression were determined by using immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR and Western blot. Results?HUMSC grafts reduced significantly the volume of ulceration in diabetic foot rats (PPP
