Application of Cord Blood

Cord blood is originated in the fetus, and collected at the umbilical cord ligation when separated from the residual placenta. Nearly a decade of research and discovered that umbilical cord blood contain the human hematopoietic and the hematopoietic stem cells of the immune system. It can be used for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, for the treatment of more than 80 kinds of diseases. Thus, the cord blood has become an important source of hematopoietic stem cells, especially for no directly related family members. The hematopoietic stem cells is a very important human biological for treatment of diseases.

Worldwide, cord blood has been used to treat various types of Leukemia, Aplastic Anemia, Lymphoma, Multiple Myeloma, Neuroblastoma, Mucopolysaccharide disease, Thalassemia, Bone Marrow Dysplasia syndrome, Primary Immunodeficiency Disease, Chronic Granuloma and other 80 kinds of diseases.

Clinical application case

* The world’s first cord blood transplantation: In 1988, a 5-year-old French boy, suffering from Cooley’s Anemia has been treated with the cord blood transplantation and with completely recovered.
* The world’s first autologous cord blood transplantation: In 1997, a 14-month-old Brazilian girl, with autologous cord blood successfully cured Neuroblastoma.
* The world’s first double dosages of cord blood transplantation: In 2000, the Institute of Hematology of the Peking University used the world’s first double dose of cord blood transplantation for the treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia with good result. Now, the patient weight of 95 kg, is having a healthy life.
* Asia’s first autologous cord blood transplantation: In 2009, Beijing Children’s Hospital, a pediatric patient using his own cord blood for the treatment of Neuroblastoma. This is the first case of autologous cord blood treatment for pediatric case. The baby is treated and being fine after the transplantation.
* China treated a youngest and light weight baby: In 2009, Shanghai Dao Pei Hospital has successfully treated a 2 months old baby only weight – 5 kg, by using the cord blood transplantation treatment for Primary Immunodeficiency Disease.
* In China, the first mother received the son’s cord blood transplantation as treatment: In 2009, Chongqing Xinqiao Hospital, a female patient suffering from an Acute Non-Lymphocytic Leukemia was treated by using her son’s umbilical cord blood, together with his husband’s bone marrow for transplantation. She was discharged from the Intensive Care Unit after one month from the transplantation. This is the first case of mother using her child’s cord blood for transplantation.

Treatment prospects

Cell therapy has been a biological way for the treatment of a number of diseases in the 21st century. At the end of May 2014, the worldwide of related clinical research on the cord blood cell therapy, registered with the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) reached a total of 928.

4 tips for transporting your stuff to a new house with maximum safatey

When you close the door on your old house for the last time, its a great idea to leave the new owners a welcome pack.

If you happen to have older kids or teenagers you can get them involved using the same techniques or maybe a simple promise of a night out on their new town. Take them out to see a movie, go to the mall or out to eat at a local popular eatery. Try being creative, Calgary is a fun town for all ages. Museums, theme parks, theatres, plays, sport complexes or school groups.

So heres a summary of what are some very useful moving tips (from personal movers Calgary) :

Your current home works for you without really having to think about things anymore. You have the right flooring, furniture, window dressings etc that fit your lifestyle.

However, when you move you may have agreed to leave certain things in the house such as curtains, freezer etc..

As such, its worth making a list of these things, remembering to leave them behind and not pack them (put a sticker on things that the removals company shouldnt touch to be safe).

You dont want to end up moving only to find you have brought something with you that you shouldnt have!

Also worth considering is what you actually have in your new home.

Is anything being left (carpets/curtains/furniture etc), is there fitted storage etc.?

For example if youre moving from a house with all fitted wardrobes, and the new house has none, then you will need somewhere to hang your clothes asap you may therefore want to invest in some rails for the interim while you decide on suitable furniture etc

Or if you are leaving the curtains in your old house, you will definitely need some sort of window covering at least on the bedrooms windows in the new house (it may be worth asking them if its possible for them to leave certain curtains for you).

It will be worth making a shopping list and getting things sorted ahead of time, Im sure you agree!

Moving when you have children can have its own set of issues. Children often dont want to move as they like routine and are unsure of the unknown.

If you get them involved in the process and excited about the move then it can take this uncertainty out of the equation.

Get them to pack their own box for the move, and remember to pack this into your car on moving day (the last thing you want is for this specific box to go missing).

In it you can have things like:

Favourite teddy / doll
Book to read
Bedroom items to create their own space asap
Nightlight / reading lamp / torch
Toys
Photos
Change of clothes and bedtime clothes
Bathroom bag

You can then get them to unpack this themselves which will help them feel right at home immediately.

Theres nothing worse than getting to a new house and having to open all the boxes to find the night light they wont sleep without.

Advantage of Solar Energy : Solar energy systems generally dont require a lot of maintenance. You only need to keep them relatively clean, so cleaning them a couple of times per year will do the job. If in doubt, you can always rely on specialised cleaning companies, which offer this service from around 25-35. Most reliable solar panel manufacturers offer 20-25 years warranty. Also, as there are no moving parts, there is no wear and tear. The inverter is usually the only part that needs to changed after 5-10 years because it is continuously working to convert solar energy into electricity (solar PV) and heat (solar thermal). Apart from the inverter, the cables also need maintenance to ensure your solar power system runs at maximum efficiency. So, after covering the initial cost of the solar system, you can expect very little spending on maintenance and repair work.

Disadvantage of Solar Energy : The more electricity you want to produce, the more solar panels you will need, as you want to collect as much sunlight as possible. Solar panels require a lot of space and some roofs are not big enough to fit the number of solar panels that you would like to have. An alternative is to install some of the panels in your yard but they need to have access to sunlight. If you dont have the space for all the panels that you wanted, you can opt for installing fewer to still satisfy some of your energy needs.
