No.1 – Entrusted by Most Parents for 11 Consecutive Years

Latest Cord Blood Samples Quality Assurance Test Report

連續 11年 No.1全港最多父母選擇 最新臍帶血樣本品質檢測報告

根據全球第三大市場調查公司 – Ipsos Healthcare 今年的市場調查結果顯示，生寶連續 11年成為全港最多父母選擇的臍帶血庫。生寶是香港唯一採用美國

FDA認可的 BioArchive®全自動儲存槽的私營臍帶血庫。它是專門為儲存幹細

胞而設計，能保持最佳幹細胞活性，全球 75%以上的臍帶血幹細胞移植手術均由 BioArchive®儲存槽提供樣本。

為嚴密監控臍帶血幹細胞的優良品質，生寶每年會進行一次品質檢測。今年 8月，實驗室人員從 BioArchive®全自動幹細胞儲存槽中提取了儲存的臍帶血幹

細胞樣本進行活性檢測，結果顯示樣本解凍後的存活能力超過 93.9%，充分證明

BioArchive®全自動幹細胞儲存槽能長期保存幹細胞的最佳活性，達到國際醫療

級移植水平。

According to Ipsos Healthcare 2019 Cord Blood Bank Survey, most parents chose HealthBaby to store their newborn’s cord blood and cord for 11 consecutive years. HealthBaby is the only private cord blood bank in Hong Kong adopted FDA approved BioArchive® System. This is the best automated system specially designed for stem cells cryopreservation, maintaining the highest viability for transplantation. The system provides >75% cord blood stem cells for transplants worldwide.

HealthBaby routinely conducts annual quality assurance test to closely monitor the quality of stem cells stored. In August 2019, cord blood sample preserved in BioArchive® System -has been thawed to evaluate the viability of stem cells. The result showed that the viability of the sample recovered is over 93.9%. It indicates that the BioArchive® System preserves the best viability of stem cells in a long-term storage which in-line with the international medical standard of transplantation.

Taipei, Aug. 28, 2019 (CNA) A Taiwanese research team announced on Wednesday that it has discovered the key to turning around idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a type of chronic scarring lung disease, in mice in just one month.

The team found that mesenchymal stem cell in the human body's umbilical cord is able to largely improve IPF for an unknown reason, according to the team composed of researchers from National Yang-Ming University, Taipei Veterans General Hospital and Kaohsiung Veterans General Hospital.

It took three years for the team to achieve the findings, which showed human mesenchymal stem cells are capable of preventing inflammation in the lungs of mice and then reverse the progression of the disease by enacting macrophages to eat up the scars on the tissue, thus repairing lung cells and turning the hard fibrosis into soft tissue, the team said.

The conclusion was made following an experiment in which the decaying lungs of mice were largely repaired seven days following a transplant of the special mesenchymal stem cell into its body, according to the team. It added that the mice's lungs almost returned to normal a month later.

Fu Yu-show ( 傅 毓 秀 ), a professor with the Faculty of Medicine, National Yang-Ming University, who participated in the research project, said the occurrence rate and the mortality rate related to IPF have risen sharply in recent years, including in her own father, as a result of worsening air pollution. Once diagnosed with IPF, the scarring on the patient's lungs gets worse over time, making it hard for him or her to take in a deep breath and the lungs cannot take in enough oxygen.

Although the research team has conducted only an animal experiment, Fu stressed that the finding has been a breakthrough in dealing with IPF and has been published in the medical journal Theranostic.

An experiment will be conducted on human body in the near future to further explore the cause, she said.

2019 年 8 月 28 日，一個台灣研究小組於台北宣布，在小鼠身上發現了短短

一個月內可以改善特發性肺纖維化 (IPF) - 一種慢性瘢痕性肺病的關鍵。

由來自國立楊明大學、台北榮總、高雄榮總合作發現，人體臍帶中的間質幹

細胞能夠在很大程度上改善特發性肺纖維化 (IPF)。

團隊花了三年時間去研究，結果顯示人體間質幹細胞能令小鼠肺內發揮抗發

炎功能，通過製造巨噬細胞來阻止肺臟繼續惡化，並且清除結巴組織，讓肺

泡得以修復再生。

研究小組表示，將特定的間質幹細胞移植到老鼠體內，於七天後發現小鼠肺

受損的區域，被新生的人體肺泡和肺組織取代，從而得出結論。一個月後，

小鼠的肺部獲得了「再生」。

參與該研究項目的國立陽明大學醫學院教授傅毓秀表示，近年由於空氣污染

惡化，患有特發性肺纖維化 (IPF) 的發病率和死亡率急劇上升，包括她自己的

父親。一旦被診斷患有特發性肺纖維化 (IPF)，患者整個肺部組織纖維化或變

硬的地方非常多，隨著時間而變得更加嚴重，患者會難以深呼吸並且令肺部

不能吸收足夠的氧氣。

儘管研究小組僅進行了一項動物實驗，但傅教授強調，該研究結果在處理特發

性肺纖維化 (IPF)方面取得了突破性進展，並已發表在醫學期刊 Theranostic上。

她說 : 在不久的將來將可人體進行實驗，以進一步探索。

Some studies have found that drinking chicken essence two weeks before the birth of baby helps to increase the epidermal growth factor in postpartum colostrum by 62%.

Breast milk is the best food for baby, but the key point for the novice mother is to relax and believe in yourself. Everyone, cheer up!

A few hours after the birth, body has begun to have milk secretion, although there may be only one or two drops, but this small amount of gold colostrum is enough to meet the needs of the new born baby. As baby grows slowly, the amount of breast milk will gradually increase in response to the needs of baby, and the proportion of nutrients will automatically adjust due to the needs in different stages of the baby.

However, the quality and quantity of breast milk have the possibility to change due to different factors, such as the rest time of the postpartum mother, the mood and balance of nutrition consumed.

另外，亦有研究發現，生產前兩週開始飲用雞精，有助提升產後初乳中的表皮生長因子達 62%。

母乳是最適合 BB 的食物，但新手媽媽最重要是放鬆心情，相信自己。各位新手媽媽，加油！

產後幾小時後身體已經開始會有乳汁分泌，雖然可能只有一兩滴，但這小小份量的黃金初乳已經足夠滿足初生 BB 的需要。隨着 BB 慢慢成長，母乳的量會因應

BB 的需要而慢慢增加，營養成份比例亦會因為 BB 不同階段的需要而自動調整。

不過母乳的質和量有機會因為不同因素而有所改變，例如產後媽媽休息時間是否足夠、有沒有好好放鬆心情，以及是否有足夠和均衡營養等。

以下五項重點，大家一定要注意：

1 2 3 4 5

Many novice mothers know that colostrum in the first few days after birth is the most nutritious in the world, so it is also called "golden colostrum". Colostrum contains a lot of precious nutrients, including immunoglobulin, lactoferrin, whey protein, epidermal growth factor (EGF) in high-quality protein, and various immune cells such as macrophages, neutrophils, and lymphocytes. Wait. These nutrients help to promote the development of the first-infant immune system, in which epidermal growth factor is particularly helpful in establishing the gastrointestinal mucosa and overall immunity, enhancing cell repair ability and reducing the chance of infection. Colostrum also contains a variety of vitamins and micronutrients that help organ and bone development.

很多新手媽媽都知道產後頭幾天的初乳是世上最有營養、最適合初生 BB 的食物，所以亦稱為「黃金初乳」。初乳中含有大量珍貴營養素，包括優質蛋白質中的免

疫球蛋白、乳鐵蛋白、乳清蛋白、表皮生長因子 (EGF) 等，亦含有多種免疫細胞如巨噬細胞、中性粒細胞、淋巴細胞等。這些營養素有助促進初嬰免疫系統發展，

其中表皮生長因子特別有助建立腸胃黏膜以至整體的免疫力，增強細胞修補能力，減少受感染的機會。初乳亦含有多種維他命及微量營養素，有助器官和骨骼發展。

The following five items are the key points have to pay attention to:

Eat more cereals such as brown rice, wheat, millet, and buckwheat instead of white rice and porridge.

There must be three or more colors of vegetables per day, such as tomatoes, carrots, corn, eggplant, broccoli, etc.

Drink more water. You can also drink tea, fish soup, chicken / pork soup. If you will take the double-stewed soup with meat, bear in mind to get rid of the oil before drinking.

Have more meals a day but less food at each. At least five meals a day, with only sixty or seventy percent full each time. It helps to stabilize blood sugar, avoid the affection to digestion and fat accumulation by eating too much.

Supp lement w i th more high-quality protein foods such as eggs, fish, milk, chicken, etc.

多吃穀麥類的澱粉質如糙

米，小麥、小米、藜麥代

替白米飯和粥。

每天必須要有三種或以上顏

色的蔬菜，例如蕃茄、紅蘿

蔔、粟米、茄子、西蘭花等。

多補充水份，可以喝代茶、

魚湯、雞 / 豬肉煲湯。如用肉

煲老火湯，喝前須去油去肥。

少吃多餐，每天起碼五餐以上，每次只

吃六七成飽，有助穩定血糖，避免進食

過飽影響消化吸收和脂肪累。

多補充優質蛋白質食

物，例如蛋、魚、奶、

雞等。
