Cells magical health - The Voice of Russia

Dmitry Kudashkin Three years ago was the first patient to Ugra, who has been practicing stem cell transplantation. At the age of 32 years to Dmitrij was diagnosed multiple myeloma – one of the most insidious diseases of the blood system. Virtually had no chance of salvation.

From the time of surgery has been three years. During this time, doctors have successfully Ugra 34 other stem cell transplants. All patients are healthy, although doctors do not hide that the risks are high. Meanwhile, the number of those in need of a transplant is growing, noted Sergey Sciukin, deputy director of the Department of Health of the Ugra:

Currently stem cell transplantation – is the only method in the world, not only in Russia, which makes it possible to achieve good results. The cost of such care – is about $ 420,000 U.S.. Here in Ugra instead we make all these surgeries for free. The means are allocated by the local public.

Each body has stem cells. While the man is sleeping, they work for the restoration of damaged tissues and organs. Von advancing age, however, become less and less. At the time of birth in the umbilical cord blood relationship is of such a cell over 10,000 others, the 16-year-old teenager has one of 500,000, a 50-year-old man on the other hand has one in a million.

Physicians Ugra working for over four years with stem cells. In the city of Khanty-Mansiysk, Ugra near, you created a criodeposito. The stem cells are stored in liquid nitrogen at a temperature less than 196 degrees. If you need may also be used in dozens of years, is convinced Sergey Ponomariov, deputy director of the Institute for scientific research of mobile technologies Ugra:

Here are kept about 150 samples of umbilical cord blood. And ‘the blood coming from healthy women who have given birth. They have given their consent to the storage of these samples in our database with the next use.

It ‘s very difficult and expensive to extract stem cells from skin, adipose tissue and hair bulb. Therefore, we must keep the stock, given by nature to man, which is located in the umbilical cord blood. Unfortunately, the umbilical cords were destroyed today as waste. It ‘s easier to extract stem cells. And if a man have health problems simply insert these cells in her blood – will find themselves in a sore spot. In 100% of cases they heal the person to whom they were taken at the time of birth, and even if they were taken to his brothers and sisters with.
