China's first hematopoietic stem cell transplant cures cloned disease

the Third Military Medical University, XinqiaoHospital,officially announced on February 28th that the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation technology was the first time in the hospital to treat autoimmunediseasessuccessLi Wei (pseudonym), who suffers from the rare clone disease, gradually recovered from the hospital after a successful transplantShe is also the first clone patient in China to be treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantationFour years ago, when Li Wei, who was 16 years old, went to the toilet, his stool was bleeding profuselyAlthough the symptoms of treatment were alleviated, but then periodically there was local skin festeringSix months later, Li Wei reappeared a large amount of bleeding in the digestive tract, and the skin festering sores gradually increasedAt the time, the treatment doctor suspected that his intestinal lesions were bleeding, and he had his right half of the colon removedHowever, the symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding still occur frequently after surgery, and skin festering becomes more seriousIn April 2007, Li went to the haematology department of XinqiaoHospitalExperts based on symptoms, and access to a large number of domestic and foreigndata, diagnosed the case is a rare clone of the diseaseAccording to Professor Chen Yuhua, director of the hematology department of Xinqiao Hospital, the disease is an autoimmune disease , very rare, the incidence rate is only one in 100,000, and easy to be diagnosed with appendicitis or intestinal tuberculosis Combined with rich clinical experience, the experts boldly put forward the use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation technology to overcome cloned disease In October 2007, Li received an indochean stem cell transplant Unlike previous transplants, Xinqiao Hospital uses hematopoietic stem cell purification technology, using specialized equipment to eliminate her abnormal immune cells, and extracting stem cells with normal hematopoietic function for transplantation After more than 3 months of careful treatment, Li Wei gradually recovered Dr Zhang Wei, Li's attending physician and deputy director of the hospital's haemopogenatosis, said that after the successful hematopoietic stem cell transplant, Li's disordered immune function has been completely removed and a new hematopoietic system has been successfully rebuilt After the transplant observation, the large area of the skin festering sores also gradually tend to heal, the symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding did not appear again The move marks the successful application of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation technology to the treatment of autoimmune diseases, and has found a new and effective treatment for a variety of refracted autoimmune diseases (Zeng Li, Tang Xianwu)
