The Ministry of Health announced that cell therapy will be officially started from 2065438+September 2008, which will not only benefit patients, but also promote the development of medical biotechnology. What diseases can stem cell therapy be used to treat? How will the people of Taiwan Province Province benefit? Dr. Lin Xinrong from Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital has been making continuous efforts and contributions in the field of stem cells for many years. Listen to his own opinion!
Cell therapy provides a new choice for patients with cancer and major diseases.
At present, there are two main applications of stem cells in medicine, the first is regenerative medicine, and the second is oncology medicine. Dr. Lin Xinrong pointed out that in fact, many doctors in China have conducted clinical trials in the field of cell therapy for many years and accumulated rich knowledge, including late cancer, degenerative arthritis, chronic ischemic stroke, craniocerebral injury, spinal cord injury, extensive skin trauma, malignant tumor surgery, radiotherapy, sequelae after chemotherapy, etc. Cell therapy can be used for diagnosis and treatment.
Take the endogenous stem cell therapy (G-CSF) used for many years in the neurosurgery department of Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital as an example. This therapy can make bone marrow stem cells multiply tenfold, and the magnetic attraction effect can attract stem cells to the brain to repair damaged areas, and promote them to differentiate into cells such as cranial nerves and blood vessels, thus helping patients with brain injury recover quickly, protecting their nerves from necrosis due to stroke and ischemia, and at the same time having anti-inflammatory effects and inhibiting inflammatory tissues and cells in stroke areas.
Resist diseases, rejuvenate, and let patients find their dignity.
Dr. Lin Xinrong pointed out that the "Bone Marrow Stem Cell Center" of Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital assists in matching and transplanting bone marrow stem cells every year. Over the past 25 years, more than 5,000 patients at home and abroad have benefited. Since 2065, 438+07 has carried out human trials such as "Autologous adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) brain transplantation for old stroke" and "Human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells for acute stroke". There is a simple reason. "Our goal is to wake up comatose patients, stand up while lying still, and run when walking! Patients with Parkinson's disease have become stable after receiving endogenous stem cell therapy; There are also some stroke patients who, after receiving treatment, can gradually bend their immobile feet and even stand up from the wheelchair in just one month with the rehabilitation of Chinese medicine and acupuncture treatment. It is the most gratifying achievement of cell therapy to let a patient who originally needed others to serve his daily life gradually recover, and then he can take care of himself and find his own life dignity.
Therefore, endogenous stem cell therapy (G-CSF) can not only proliferate stem cells and repair damaged parts of the body, but also be combined with the consultation of interdisciplinary attending physicians such as Chinese medicine, plastic and reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation department, including Chinese medicine conditioning, acupoint acupuncture and application, hyperbaric oxygen therapy in plastic and reconstructive surgery, and even physical and functional therapy in rehabilitation department. This is a complete cell therapy team, which can treat and recuperate according to the individual needs of patients, and it is expected to shorten the recovery period.
People who are loosened by the special management law do not have to go abroad for medical treatment.
The "Special Management Law" has opened up six cell therapy technologies. Although the curative effect is expected, people are more concerned about the cost. Dr. Lin Xinrong pointed out that the target of cell therapy is patients who are ineffective in standard treatment or are in the fourth stage of solid cancer. The Ministry of Health and Welfare may charge according to the "curative effect" in the future, which means that the cost of effective treatment will be higher than that of ineffective cases. Although expensive, it is still lower than the huge cost of seeing a doctor abroad, and the risk is lower. "It is better to treat patients in Taiwan Province province at home than to spend money and time seeking medical treatment abroad! In view of the loosening of special management law, cell therapy will have greater development space; People in Taiwan Province Province can have new choices when they are faced with terminal illness and serious illness. In the future, they will not have to travel long distances to seek medical treatment abroad, but will be able to receive more accurate and effective treatment in domestic medical institutions.
Dr. Lin Xinrong further stated that the health and welfare department of Taiwan Province Province not only studied Japanese laws and regulations in depth, but also consulted relevant domestic experts before formulating the special management law belonging to Taiwan Province Province. These are nothing more than helping domestic patients and cultivating related biotechnology industries, and more cases will be accumulated clinically. In the long run, this will be of great benefit to the overall medical development in Taiwan Province Province. This is good news for patients and medical industry in Taiwan Province province. We look forward to actively injecting relevant funds in the future, so that cell therapy can continue to develop and further protect the health of Chinese people.
