Concept and characteristics of placenta
The placenta is a special anatomical structure, connecting the fetus and the mother, playing an important role in nutrition supply, waste removal, gas exchange and other important functions. It is composed of the umbilical cord of the fetus and the endometrium of the mother, with rich vascular networks and stem cells, and is called the "tree of life". Placental tissue is mainly composed of placental umbilical cord, placental membrane and placental intima. The placental umbilical cord contains abundant hematopoietic stem cells and immune cells, which has very important medical application value.
Hematopoietic stem cells in the placental umbilical cord have the ability of self-renewal and multi-directional differentiation, and can differentiate into a variety of different types of cells, such as red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. When the hematopoietic system is damaged due to self disease or injury, the use of hematopoietic stem cells in the placental umbilical cord can reconstruct the patient's hematopoietic function and achieve the therapeutic purpose.
In addition, there are abundant immune cells in the placental umbilical cord, such as T cells, B cells and natural killer cells. These immune cells can regulate and enhance the immune function, and can be used to treat some diseases with abnormal immune system, such as autoimmune diseases.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using placenta
Hematopoietic stem cells from placental umbilical cord can be transplanted into patients to reconstruct their damaged hematopoietic system. The process of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation mainly includes four steps: collection, preservation, treatment and transplantation.
First of all, collecting placental cord blood through painless fetal umbilical cord puncture technology will not cause any harm to the mother and fetus, nor will it affect the development of the fetus. After collection, the placental cord blood will be sent to a professional placental blood bank for preservation to ensure its activity and purity.
Next, the preserved placental cord blood was processed to isolate components rich in hematopoietic stem cells. These hematopoietic stem cells can be used for transplantation after corresponding treatment and purification, so that they can re-establish normal hematopoietic function.
Finally, the treated hematopoietic stem cells are transplanted into the patient's body, and the therapeutic effect is achieved by reestablishing the hematopoietic function. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a mature treatment method, which has been widely used in many hospitals to treat a variety of diseases, such as leukemia, aplastic anemia, etc.
Immunotherapy with placenta
The immune cells in the placental umbilical cord can regulate and enhance the immune function. Immunotherapy with immune cells in placental umbilical cord can enhance patients' immunity and regulate the balance of immune system.
The process of immunotherapy mainly includes three steps: collection, treatment and infusion. First of all, the placental cord blood was collected through the fetal umbilical cord puncture technology to obtain a sample rich in immune cells. Then, in a professional medical laboratory, the collected placental cord blood was processed and purified to isolate the components rich in immune cells.
Finally, the treated immune cells are infused into the patient's body to achieve the therapeutic effect by enhancing the patient's immune function. Immunotherapy is mainly used to treat diseases with abnormal immune system, such as autoimmune diseases, malignant tumors, etc.
Application of Placenta Therapy in XX Hospital
XX Hospital is a well-known hospital specializing in placenta treatment. In terms of placenta treatment, the hospital has a high-end scientific research team and advanced medical equipment to provide high-quality medical services for patients.
Taking hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as an example, XX Hospital has successfully treated many patients with this technology. In leukemia patients, the hematopoietic stem cell transplantation of placental cord blood has successfully reconstructed the normal hematopoietic function of patients and restored them to health. In addition, the placental treatment in XX Hospital has also achieved remarkable results in the treatment of malignant tumors, aplastic anemia and other diseases.
XX Hospital will continue to strengthen the research and practice in the field of placental therapy to provide better therapeutic effects for more patients.
summary
The use of placenta for treatment is a valuable medical technology, which has broad application prospects in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, immunotherapy and other fields. By collecting, processing and transplanting the components of placental cord blood, the injured hematopoietic system of patients can be rebuilt, the immune function can be enhanced, and the therapeutic effect can be achieved. XX Hospital has rich experience and excellent technical team in placenta treatment, providing high-quality medical services for patients.
Through the research and practice of placental therapy, we believe that placental therapy will play a more important role in the future medical field and bring health and hope to more patients.
