以下是引用lilymoo在2009-4-14 13:35:00的发言： 3 个娃都存了。 几个医生朋友都建议说如果经济允许还是存了， 就当买个保险。 万一真有用的话 （knock on wood), 可以给娃buy some time. 挺贵的， 但是对我们来说还好。 Actually, I discussed this with the clinical fellow in our lab (he is in research and he is a physician too). He said even the cord blood cells are healthy, the amount is saved by current technology is not enough to put in any kind of therapy at all. That is the opinion from all the researchers and physician I have consulted with. So basically, there is almost no use for saving cord blood, not to mention there is lost of cells and contamination during storage and retriveing of cells.

well, we can afford it, our oncologist friend made a good point, although not much use now, but who knows what's going to happen in 20 years. And if one day we really need to use it (hopefully not), if all that money can buy even just little more time for my babies, then it is worth it. [此贴子已经被作者于2009-4-14 17:48:45编辑过]

Just like I said, It may not actually be useful at all. Because say if something come up in 20 years (hopefully not), the cells saved now from a new born is definitly not gonna be enough for therapy for an adult. I'm not concerning about the money spent. I just doubt if it is applicable at all. I am in the research field myself and our lab is full of oncologists. They are all rich and none of them saved cord blood.
In one case it may or may not work. If you save cord blood from one kid, the cells may be used by siblings if the sibling is still little kid. ( assume their cells match each other which is about 1/4 chance, i am not sure about this). But in this case, the healthy kid can donate healthy cells to the sick sibling anytime, there is no need to save and store cells from cord blood.
In addition, as one previous reply said. if the kid is sick at young age, the cord blood cells are already not healthy. What I learned if an adult is sick, then the cord blood cells saved when he was born are very possible unhealthy. even the cells were healthy, there won't be enough for treating an adult. Hopefully I explained it clear.
结果根本没人问我们，就算了。。。。
我存了，怕万一需要
我们也存了，怕没有后悔药吃，用不上最好
我问了几个朋友，她们都没留。据说小宝宝如果有病需要用脐带血，那出生的时候脐带血就已经是病变的了，不能再用自己的脐带血了。所以那个东西对小宝宝自己是没有用的，只是以后家里人如果病了可以用。我和老公也不打算留了
re
我问了好几个医生了，还有协和的妇科主任，都说没太大用
另外如果是先天的，那这个血就没用了。如果是后天的，很多血液病都是急性突发性的，也许就2-3天的功夫（我姑姑就是，当时全身换血抢救都没用）。。。根本来不及对脐带血进行任何处理和克隆制造培育，技术什么的都是问题。。。

搞生物专门研究这个的朋友存了，也建议我们存
