Chapter 382 Chapter 382 Cord Blood (2)

The problem with Mrs. Lu is that he is too old.

At his age, not to mention ordinary cells, even the bone marrow progenitor cells in the body have been exhausted and degraded, and their activity has declined without limit.

No matter how eager the doctor is to save people, it is absolutely impossible to choose such an old man for matching.

Lu Junchen is Ning Ning's biological father and has the same blood type as him.

According to medical common sense, when a child has a problem requiring transplant matching, his biological parents are his best choice, while siblings are the second.

Because they have the same blood gene, the probability of successful matching is very high, and the rejection reaction after successful surgery will be smaller than that of other people, the transplanted cells are easier to survive, and the success rate can be increased by at least two or three times.

This is why, in many transplant cases, relatives are often the most common donors.

But unfortunately, Ning Ning did not have such a condition.

His biological father had passed away before he was born, and as the only posthumous child, it was impossible for him to have brothers and sisters of the same father and the same mother, and the only immediate family member left was only one mother.

However, his mother, Xiang Yiqing, happened to have ordinary blood type A, which was different from his blood type, so she couldn't provide him with a stem cell match.

The same goes for the rest of the Lu family.

If he could not find a donor of hematopoietic stem cells of the same blood type, Ning Ning's transplant operation would not be possible at all, and he could only continue to adopt conservative treatment, and the stable treatment effect could not be guaranteed.

Ning Ning's attending doctor said long ago that the only way to treat Ning Ning's condition is transplantation, and it is best to use hematopoietic stem cells extracted from the umbilical cord blood of babies of the same blood type.

Because compared with the peripheral blood of adults, or the hematopoietic stem cells rich in the bone marrow of ordinary people, the umbilical cord blood carried by the baby at birth has the highest content of hematopoietic stem cells, and the activity level is almost as high as that of human beings. The peak value of the cells, and the cells are clean without any impurities, are the most suitable source of cells for transplantation in the human body, none of them.

If you can find the baby's umbilical cord blood of the same blood type and extract abundant hematopoietic stem cells from it for transplantation, it will not only greatly improve the success rate of Ning Ning's operation, but also reduce his post-operative body pain to the greatest extent. Rejection.

This is also the most perfect treatment plan proposed by the attending doctor for Ning Ning's condition.

As long as the transplant operation is successful and the highly active hematopoietic stem cells can survive smoothly in Ningning's body, then his fragile body can automatically rebuild a relatively complete and healthy body under the powerful hematopoietic function of the stem cells. A sound immune system, so that he can successfully get rid of the original immune deficiency problem in the body.

In this way, as long as he recuperates properly in the later stage and has comprehensive nutritional supplements, Ning Ning is very likely to fully recover and live a normal life.

After understanding the pros and cons of transplant surgery, the Lu family naturally hoped to provide Ning Ning with the best transplant solution. On the one hand, the side effects were small, and on the other hand, Ning Ning's age was also considered. He really couldn't afford it. Consequences of failed surgery.

Therefore, for Ning Ning, the transplant operation must either not be done, or the best plan must be made, and it must be successful at the first time.

However, how rare are newborn babies with RH negative blood?
Among them, the umbilical cord blood of newborns that can be effectively preserved is even less.

Shortly after Ning Ning was born and was diagnosed with congenital immunodeficiency, the Lu family has been looking for suitable baby cord blood for him.

After spending a lot of manpower and material resources, the Lu family searched among newborn groups across the country, and it was not that they failed to find a suitable baby, but for various reasons, the Lu family never got the cord blood they wanted.

It took about a year and a half, and the Lu family found a total of twelve newborn babies with Rh-negative blood.

Seven baby boys, five baby girls.

But of those children, only three were born with cord blood, and none of the other nine were born without cord blood.

When people from the Lu family found them, they had been born for more than 48 hours, and the umbilical cord blood they originally had was also discarded by the hospital as waste blood because there was no special request from their family members. If you find it, even if you do find it, this kind of umbilical cord blood that has been directly exposed to the air and has been severely polluted cannot be used at all.

The rich hematopoietic stem cells in the blood have already dried up and died in the long period of vacancy and pollution, and even the cord blood has become waste blood, which is useless at all.

You must know that the baby's umbilical cord blood was treated as useless waste blood at the earliest time. It was not until the past decade or so that the medical community discovered through research that umbilical cord blood contains substances that can rebuild human hematopoiesis and immune system. Hematopoietic stem cells can be used for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to treat as many as [-] kinds of diseases.

For example, the congenital immunodeficiency disease that Ning Ning suffers from, and the more widely known leukemia, are terminal diseases that are treated by transplanting hematopoietic stem cells in umbilical cord blood.

It's a pity that although the medical profession has made such a statement, it once encouraged ordinary people to save the baby's umbilical cord blood in time when they gave birth, so as to prepare for possible illness or donate to others in the future, but for the real ordinary people Well, most people don't even know what umbilical cord blood is, let alone what kind of medical value it has, so naturally they don't take it to heart.

You know, saving a baby's umbilical cord blood is not an easy task.

It must rely on professional medical equipment and blood freezing equipment. With preparation in advance, as soon as the newborn baby settles down and the umbilical cord is cut short, the umbilical cord and the baby's placenta are immediately strictly preserved, and the residues inside are extracted. After professional analysis and purification, hematopoietic stem cell-preserved blood vessels are made and sent to cryogenic blood banks for preservation.

All kinds of complicated procedures, first of all, are not something that ordinary small hospitals can do. They must be done by large hospitals above the tertiary level, or high-end private hospitals with top-notch equipment and personnel.

Secondly, to successfully extract and store a baby's umbilical cord blood, the various expenses required are of great value. It will make many families with poor economic conditions stretched.
