Guangdong province's cord blood application officially broke through 1000 cases
Donors and recipients generally do not know each other, but a donor and recipient association held in Guangzhou yesterday met the two sides. "Savior, I finally saw you!" The sound of joy rang from time to time, and both sides gratefully embraced. The association was sponsored by the Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Association and the Guangdong Cord Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cell Bank. Some cord blood beneficiaries even rushed to the venue from Anhui and Zhejiang.
The reporter also learned at the association that the application of cord blood in Guangdong Province has officially broken through 1000 cases, and the first self-rescue case of autologous cord blood transplantation in South China has emerged.
Yesterday, at the donors and recipients association hosted by the Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Association and the Guangdong Cord Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cell Bank, the reporter was informed of the application of cord blood in Guangdong Province and related cases.
On February 24 this year, with a cord blood collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the application of cord blood in the cord blood bank of Guangdong Province officially broke through 1000 cases! As of April 22, 2017, the number of cord blood in the cord blood bank of Guangdong Province reached 1043, and the number of people treated was 842.
Ten years of hard work
Guangzhou cord blood bank inventory increased more than ten times
"It's not easy!" The person in charge of the cord blood bank said that because hematopoietic stem cell transplantation needs matching, the cord blood bank capacity must be large enough. Since the establishment of the database in 2007, it has been working hard for 10 years.
Ten years ago, the collection of cord blood in the Guangzhou Public Library was only 86, and more than 1,300 in the self-contained library; the collection of cord blood in the Dongguan Public Library was only 4, and 289 in the self-contained library. Ten years later, in 2016, the collection of cord blood in the Guangzhou Public Library was close to 9,000, with more than 19,000 self-contained warehouses; more than 3,600 copies were collected in the Dongguan Public Library, and more than 5,400 were collected from the self-contained warehouse.
Nowadays, the cord blood bank has carried out cord blood collection business in 21 prefecture-level cities in the province. Only 24,845 cord blood samples were collected from the public library last year. The autologous library has an average of more than 30,000 cord blood per year.
Guangdong cord blood is not self-sufficient for self-sufficiency. In addition to Guangdong Province, it is also distributed in Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Anhui, Jiangsu, Guangxi, Fujian, Shandong and other places.
First case in South China
Girl's autologous umbilical cord blood transplantation successfully
In addition to the advancement of the collection of the cord blood bank in Guangdong, the South China medical community is excited that the first case of autologous cord blood transplantation in South China has appeared!
In September 2015, the 5-year-old Heyuan girl Panpan suddenly had a nosebleed. He was sent to the first hospital in Guangzhou and was diagnosed with hepatitis aplastic anemia. The director of the Department of Hematology and other experts pointed out that the best treatment is to carry out hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. . When I learned that there was self-retained cord blood, the doctor immediately decided to use autologous cord blood transplantation. After 10 days of transplantation, the effect was very significant. The number of white blood cells and platelets in Panpan basically recovered. After 1 month, the condition improved obviously and was discharged safely. Four months later, the doctor consolidated the drug for her. Now the patient's indicators are normal. Now, 6-and-a-half-year-old Panpan is preparing for the primary school. "She is now exactly the same as a normal child. Now I am pregnant with a second child, and I am also prepared to have cord blood." Ms. Xu, Panpan, said.
It is understood that this is the first case in South China and the fourth autologous umbilical cord blood transplant in China.
