Effect on LS BMD	+	+	+	+	+	+	+	+

P: Patient, (M): male, (F): female, LS: lumbar spine, BMD: bone mineral density, +: positive. The effect of cord blood mononuclear cells was considered as positive when the increase in bone mineral density was bigger than 1.5% at lumbar spine or when patients stopped loosing bone
