"Human bone marrow is divided into red bone marrow and yellow bone marrow. Among them, red bone marrow is mainly spongy tissue, containing a large number of hematopoietic stem cells On the afternoon of June 16, the hematopoietic stem cell donation promotion activity jointly sponsored by Advanced Translation College of Shanghai Foreign Studies University (SISU) and the Red Cross Society of Hongkou District was held in the conference room of the SISU British Hall. During the activity, Zhang Jiaqing, the leader of the volunteer service team of the Red Cross of China, popularized the relevant knowledge of hematopoietic stem cell donation and the key points of volunteer service to nearly 30 students at the scene in vivid examples.
In fact, this activity originated from Yao Delong's donation experience at the beginning of this year.
On February 26 this year, Yao Delong spent five and a half hours in Huashan Hospital and successfully completed the donation of hematopoietic stem cells, saving the life of a young mother. “I think it's worth it to think that after experiencing some trivial short-term pain, it's possible to save a mother and put a family's life back on track."
After returning to school, Yao Delong's good deeds quickly spread throughout the college. While expressing admiration for Yao Delong, many students were also inspired to volunteer to join the Chinese Bone Marrow Bank.
Li Yang, also a sophomore in the Advanced Translation Institute, is Yao Delong's classmate. On the day of the activity, the girl signed her name on the consent form without hesitation and became a volunteer of the Chinese bone marrow bank. “I've also learned about hematopoietic stem cell donation", Li Yang told that he had always wanted to join the Chinese bone marrow bank, but he had some concerns. This time, my classmate Xiao Yao's successful donation made a great impression on her. “During the chat, I learned more about the donation process and some questions from Xiao Yao. Now, I am ready."
It is reported that since the beginning of this year, 235 citizens in Hongkou have volunteered to join the database of hematopoietic stem cell donors, and one has successfully donated.
The staff of the District Red Cross said that hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is an effective means to treat leukemia and other hematopoietic and immune system diseases at home and abroad. For many patients with hematological diseases, the donation of hematopoietic stem cells means the hope of life. Therefore, we hope that people aged between 18 and 45, who are in good health and have never joined the hematopoietic stem cell bank, can actively join the volunteer team of hematopoietic stem cell donation and give hope to more blood patients.
