【News Buddy】雲南醫生懷善心 千里捐髓救港人
【原文】摘錄自4月20日香港《文匯報》：4月19日，一袋雲南志願者捐獻的造血幹細胞乘飛機送往香港，前一日完成捐獻的萬鑫還沉浸在配型成功並順利完成捐獻的激動和興奮中，她對香港文匯報記者說：「相隔千里能配型成功，我和他一定很有緣，希望我的造血幹細胞能幫助這位香港同胞快快好起來。」萬鑫是雲南保山一名鄉鎮衞生院的護士，早在14年前，她就成為造血幹細胞捐贈志願者，今次成功案例，是雲南省幹細胞捐獻給香港患者首例。
據了解，造血幹細胞移植是目前治療白血病等血液疾病最有效的手段之一。然而，尋找配型合適的幹細胞供者卻是一項艱巨的任務。在非血緣人群中，配型成功率往往低至百萬分之一到十萬分之一。因此，每一次成功的配型和捐獻都顯得尤為珍貴。
萬鑫當初入庫是因為本身也是學醫，救死扶傷的使命感讓她覺得這就是自己應該做的，所以就和好幾名同學一起填了申請加入了骨髓庫。「我也知道配型成功的幾率是很低的，所以之後也沒有多想過這個事情。」萬鑫說後來的工作和生活中，也都很少會提起這個事情，直到2023年12月5日。
說起當日接到電話告知她配型成功，萬鑫記得非常清楚，「是的，就是那天，我太激動了，可能一輩子都不會忘記這個日子。」電話裏工作人員問她是否還願意捐獻幹細胞，萬鑫只重複兩個字「願意，願意！」不過工作人員還是讓她回家和家人商量一下。
在獲得家人支持後，接下來，一切都在為順利完成捐贈做準備。萬鑫說通過初配成功後，還進行了一次高分辨配型，這一次也幸運地成功了。然後她進行了全面的體檢，「很開心一切符合要求。」萬鑫說，自己心裏一直只想着一點：盡快能完成捐獻，給患者帶去生的希望。「中間有一次推遲了體檢的時間，我當時特別着急，生怕耽誤了。」
自從肯定表示了「願意」，萬鑫一下子覺得責任上了身，「我必須養好自己的身體，確保整個過程順利！」從那天起，不怎麼喝牛奶的她開始每天早餐一杯牛奶，晚上一杯牛奶，清淡營養的飲食替換了原來的食譜。愛熬夜常加班的她，也「硬性規定」自己每天最晚11點必須睡覺。「我覺得身體有了變化，最明顯的，就是增重了4公斤，4個月來也從來沒有生過病。」
4月18日，做好了一切準備，萬鑫躺在了醫院捐獻病床上。「還好，我不是太緊張，看起來跟我平時獻血差不多。」當天，陪在他身邊的有醫生護士還有自己的弟弟，「大家都鼓勵我，跟我聊天，每個人都很照顧我。」萬鑫說，捐獻過程大約經歷了4個小時，感受着血從身體裏流出，分離了幹細胞再流回自己體內，自己沒有不舒服，沒有害怕，想着遠在香港的同胞很快能用自己的幹細胞迎來生的希望，只覺得作為一名醫務工作者，這就是自己應該做的。
Yunnan Angel in White Donates hematopoietic stem cells to Save Hong Kong patients
【譯文】On April 19, a bag of hematopoietic stem cells donated by a volunteer from Yunnan was sent to Hong Kong by plane. Wan Xin, who had completed the donation the day before, was still immersed in the excitement and thrill of the successful matching and smooth completion of the donation, and said to a reporter , "It must be fate for us to have a successful matching thousands of miles apart, and I hope that my blood stem cells can help this Hong Kong compatriot get well soon. " Wan Xin is a nurse in a township health center in Baoshan, Yunnan Province, as early as 14 years ago, she became a volunteer hematopoietic stem cell donor, and this case is the first successful case of stem cell donation to a Hong Kong patient in Yunnan Province.
It is understood that hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is currently one of the most effective means of treating leukemia and other blood diseases. However, finding a suitable stem cell donor is a difficult task. In non-related people, the success rate of matching is often as low as one in a million to one in a hundred thousand. Therefore, every successful match and donation is especially valuable.
Wan Xin first joined the bank because she was a medical student, and her sense of mission to save lives and help others made her feel that this was what she should do, so she and her classmates filled out an application to join the bone marrow bank. "I also knew that the chances of a successful match were very low, so I didn't think much about it afterward," Wan Xin said. Wan Xin said that she rarely mentioned this matter in her work and life until December 5, 2023, when she received a phone call informing her of the match.
Speaking of the day she received a phone call informing her of the successful match, Wan Xin remembers very clearly, "Yes, that was the day, I was so excited that I probably won't forget this day for the rest of my life. On the phone, the staff asked her if she was still willing to donate stem cells, and Wan Xin only repeated two words, "yes, yes! But the staff told her to go home and talk to her family.
After receiving her family's support, everything was prepared for the successful completion of the donation. Wan Xin said that after the initial match was successful, she underwent a high-resolution match, which was also fortunately successful. She then underwent a comprehensive physical examination and was "very happy that everything met the requirements. "Wan Xin said that she had only one thing on her mind: to complete the donation as soon as possible to bring hope to the patients. "There was a delay in the physical examination, and I was particularly anxious about the delay.
Since the affirmation of "yes", Wan Xin immediately felt responsible, "I must maintain my health to ensure that the whole process is smooth!" From that day on, she began to drink a glass of milk for breakfast and a glass of milk at night, replacing her original recipes with a light and nutritious diet. She also made it mandatory for her to go to bed by 11:00 p.m. every day, as she loved to stay up late and work overtime. "I think there are changes in my body, the most obvious is that I have gained 4 kilograms, and I have never been sick in 4 months".
On April 18th, after making all the preparations, Wan Xin lay on the hospital donation bed. "I'm not too nervous, and it looks almost like I'm donating blood," he said. On that day, he was accompanied by doctors and nurses, as well as his own brother, "Everyone encouraged me, talked to me, and everyone took care of me." Wan Xin said that the donation process took about 4 hours. Feeling the blood flowing out of his body, separated from the stem cells and then flowing back into his body, she did not feel uncomfortable or scared, thinking that his compatriots in Hong Kong would soon be able to use their own stem cells to meet the hope of life, and she only felt that as a medical worker, this is what she should do.
