The invention belongs to the field of allogenic mesenchymal stem cells, and particularly relates to a preparation method of allogenic mesenchymal stem cells by CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) technique editing and IGF (insulin-like growth factor) optimization and application of the allogenic mesenchymal stem cells in treating myocardial infarction. The preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out separation by density gradient centrifugation to obtain allogenic single karyocytes, and carrying out adherent culture to obtain mesenchymal stem cells; designing a mesenchymal stem cell surface antigen B2M-gRNA and an inflammatory factor TNF-alpha-gRNA; establishing recombinant slow virus particles, and transfecting the mesenchymal stem cells; optimizing the mesenchymal stem cells by using IGF-1; and preparing drugs for treating myocardial infarctions by using the modified and optimized mesenchymal stem cells. The CRISPR/Cas9 technique is utilized to remove the antigens capable of causing immunological rejection and the inflammatory factors capable of causing inflammatory reaction on the mesenchymal stem cell surface, and the IGF-1 is utilized to enhance the apoptosis resistance of the mesenchymal stem cells and promote the homing of the mesenchymal stem cells, thereby providing a new technical scheme for preparing drugs for treating cardiovascular diseases in clinic. The prepared allogenic mesenchymal stem cells can not cause immunological rejection after cell transplantation.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising factor VII or a factor VII-related polypeptide, and factor V or a factor V-related polypeptide, and the use thereof for treating bleeding episodes.

Heparinase enzymes can be used as a medical treatment to reduce localized inflammatory responses. Treatment of activated endothelium with heparinase inhibits leukocyte rolling, adhesion and extravasation. Most of the heparin and heparan sulfate on endothelial cell surfaces and in basement membranes is degraded by exposure to heparinase. In addition, immobilized chemokines, which are attached to heparin/heparan sulfate on activated endothelium are solubilized by heparinase digestion. Heparinase can be infused into the vascular system to inhibit accumulation of leukocytes in inflamed tissue and decrease damage resulting from localized inflammations. Targeting of heparinase to activated endothelium can be accomplished through localized administration and/or use of genetically engineered heparinase containing endothelium ligand-binding domains.
