So I was privileged to train in transplantation
0
16260
4000
Imala sam privilegiju da učim o transplantaciji
00:20
under two great surgical pioneers:
1
20260
2000
pod dva velika kirurga pionira:
00:22
Thomas Starzl,
2
22260
2000
Thomas Starzl,
00:24
who performed the world's first successful liver transplant
3
24260
3000
koji je izveo prvu uspješnu transplantaciju jetre u svijetu
00:27
in 1967,
4
27260
2000
1967. godine,
00:29
and Sir Roy Calne,
5
29260
2000
i Sir Roy Calne,
00:31
who performed the first liver transplant in the U.K.
6
31260
3000
koji je izveo prvu transplantaciju jetre u U.K.
00:34
in the following year.
7
34260
3000
slijedeće godine.
00:37
I returned to Singapore
8
37260
2000
Vratila sam se u Singapur
00:39
and, in 1990,
9
39260
2000
i 1990. godine
00:41
performed Asia's first successful
10
41260
2000
izvela prvu uspješnu transplantaciju
00:43
cadaveric liver transplant procedure,
11
43260
3000
jetre od kadavera u Aziji,
00:46
but against all odds.
12
46260
3000
ali protiv svih očekivanja.
00:49
Now when I look back,
13
49260
2000
Kada sada pogledam nazad na to,
00:51
the transplant was actually the easiest part.
14
51260
4000
transplantacija je zapravo bila lakši dio.
00:55
Next, raising the money to fund the procedure.
15
55260
4000
Slijedeće, sakupljanje novaca da financiram operaciju.
00:59
But perhaps the most challenging part
16
59260
4000
Ali možda je najteži dio bio
01:03
was to convince the regulators --
17
63260
2000
uvjeravanje regulatora --
01:05
a matter which was debated in the parliament --
18
65260
4000
stvar koja se debatirala u parlamentu --
01:09
that a young female surgeon
19
69260
2000
da bi mladoj ženskoj kirurginji
01:11
be allowed the opportunity
20
71260
2000
dopustili takvu šansu
01:13
to pioneer for her country.
21
73260
3000
da postane pionir za svoju zemlju.
01:16
But 20 years on,
22
76260
2000
Ali nakon 20 godina,
01:18
my patient, Surinder,
23
78260
2000
moja pacijentica, Surinder,
01:20
is Asia's longest surviving
24
80260
2000
je u Aziji najduža živuća
01:22
cadaveric liver transplant to date.
25
82260
3000
kadaverična transplantacija jetre do danas.
01:25
(Applause)
26
85260
4000
(Pljesak)
01:29
And perhaps more important,
27
89260
3000
Možda važnije od toga,
01:32
I am the proud godmother
28
92260
2000
ja sam ponosna krsna kuma
01:34
to her 14 year-old son.
29
94260
2000
njezinog 14 godišnjeg sina.
01:36
(Applause)
30
96260
3000
(Pljesak)
01:40
But not all patients on the transplant wait list
31
100260
2000
Ali nisu svi pacijenti na listi čekanja za transplantaciju
01:42
are so fortunate.
32
102260
2000
tako sretni.
01:44
The truth is,
33
104260
2000
Istina je,
01:46
there are just simply not enough donor organs
34
106260
2000
da jednostavno nema dovoljno donora organa
01:48
to go around.
35
108260
2000
za sve njih.
01:50
As the demand for donor organs
36
110260
2000
Kako potražnja za donorima organa
01:52
continues to rise,
37
112260
2000
stalno raste,
01:54
in large part due to the aging population,
38
114260
3000
velikim dijelom zbog sve starije populacije,
01:57
the supply has remained relatively constant.
39
117260
4000
ponuda je ostala relativno konstantna.
02:01
In the United States alone,
40
121260
2000
Samo u Sjedinjenim Državama ,
02:03
100,000 men, women and children
41
123260
4000
100.000 muškaraca, žena i djece
02:07
are on the waiting list for donor organs,
42
127260
3000
čeka na listi za donora organa,
02:10
and more than a dozen die each day
43
130260
3000
i više od 12 umire svaki dan
02:13
because of a lack of donor organs.
44
133260
3000
zato što nema dovoljno donora.
02:16
The transplant community
45
136260
2000
Transplantacijska zajednica
02:18
has actively campaigned in organ donation.
46
138260
3000
je vodila aktivne kampanje za donaciju organa.
02:21
And the gift of life
47
141260
2000
Dar života
02:23
has been extended
48
143260
2000
se proširio
02:25
from brain-dead donors
49
145260
2000
s donora s moždanom smrću
02:27
to living, related donors --
50
147260
2000
na živuće, srodne donore --
02:29
relatives who might donate an organ
51
149260
3000
srodnici koji bi možda donirali organ
02:32
or a part of an organ,
52
152260
2000
ili dio organa,
02:34
like a split liver graft,
53
154260
2000
kao što je rascjepljeni graft jetre,
02:36
to a relative or loved one.
54
156260
3000
svom srodniku ili voljenoj osobi.
02:39
But as there was still a dire shortage of donor organs,
55
159260
3000
Ali zato što još uvijek postoji manjak donora organa,
02:42
the gift of life was then extended
56
162260
2000
dar života je onda proširen
02:44
from living, related donors
57
164260
2000
sa živućih, srodnih donora
02:46
to now living, unrelated donors.
58
166260
3000
sada na živuće, nesrodne donore.
02:49
And this then has given rise
59
169260
3000
Onda je ovo dalo maha
02:52
to unprecedented and unexpected
60
172260
3000
neviđenoj i neočekivanoj
02:55
moral controversy.
61
175260
2000
moralnoj kontroverzi.
02:58
How can one distinguish
62
178260
3000
Kako može netko razlikovati
03:01
a donation that is voluntary and altruistic
63
181260
3000
donaciju koja je volonterska i altruistička
03:04
from one that is forced or coerced
64
184260
3000
od one koja je učinjena pod prisilom
03:07
from, for example,
65
187260
2000
od, na primjer,
03:09
a submissive spouse, an in-law,
66
189260
3000
pokorne supruge, rodbine,
03:12
a servant, a slave,
67
192260
2000
sluge, roba,
03:14
an employee?
68
194260
2000
zaposlenika?
03:16
Where and how can we draw the line?
69
196260
3000
Gdje i kako možemo povući crtu?
03:20
In my part of the world,
70
200260
3000
U mojem dijelu svijeta,
03:23
too many people live below the poverty line.
71
203260
3000
previše ljudi živi ispod granice siromaštva.
03:26
And in some areas,
72
206260
2000
Na nekim područjima,
03:28
the commercial gifting of an organ
73
208260
2000
komercijalno poklanjanje organa
03:30
in exchange for monetary reward
74
210260
3000
u zamjenu za novčanu nagradu
03:33
has led to a flourishing trade
75
213260
2000
je dovelo do cvatuće trgovine
03:35
in living, unrelated donors.
76
215260
3000
živućih, nesrodnih donora.
03:39
Shortly after I performed the first liver transplant,
77
219260
3000
Ubrzo nakon što sam izvela prvu transplantaciju jetre,
03:42
I received my next assignment,
78
222260
2000
dobila sam svoj slijedeći zadatak,
03:44
and that was to go to the prisons
79
224260
3000
a to je bilo da odem do zatvora
03:47
to harvest organs
80
227260
2000
kako bih vadila organe
03:49
from executed prisoners.
81
229260
3000
zatvorenicima koji su bili pogubljeni.
03:52
I was also pregnant at the time.
82
232260
3000
U to vrijema sam bila i trudna.
03:55
Pregnancies are meant
83
235260
2000
Trudnoća bi trebala biti
03:57
to be happy and fulfilling moments
84
237260
3000
razdoblje sretnih i ispunjavajućih doživljaja
04:00
in any woman's life.
85
240260
2000
u životu svake žene.
04:02
But my joyful period
86
242260
2000
Ali je moje sretno razdoblje
04:04
was marred by solemn and morbid thoughts --
87
244260
5000
bilo opterećeno teškim i morbidnim mislima --
04:09
thoughts of walking through
88
249260
2000
mislima o hodanju kroz
04:11
the prison's high-security death row,
89
251260
3000
dio zatvora gdje se nalaze oni koji čekaju smrtnu kaznu,
04:14
as this was the only route
90
254260
2000
kako je ovo bila jedina ruta
04:16
to take me to the makeshift operating room.
91
256260
4000
koja me je vodila do improvizirane operacijske sale.
04:20
And at each time,
92
260260
2000
I svaki puta
04:22
I would feel the chilling stares
93
262260
3000
bi osjetila kako me hladni pogledi
04:25
of condemned prisoners' eyes follow me.
94
265260
4000
osuđenih zatvorenika prate.
04:29
And for two years,
95
269260
2000
Dvije godine
04:31
I struggled with the dilemma
96
271260
2000
sam se mučila s dilemom
04:33
of waking up at 4:30 am
97
273260
2000
buđenja u 4:30
04:35
on a Friday morning,
98
275260
2000
u petak ujutro,
04:37
driving to the prison,
99
277260
2000
vožnje do zatvora,
04:39
getting down, gloved and scrubbed,
100
279260
2000
spuštanje, stavljanja rukavica,
04:41
ready to receive the body
101
281260
3000
pripreme da primim tijelo
04:44
of an executed prisoner,
102
284260
2000
pogubljenog zatvorenika,
04:46
remove the organs
103
286260
2000
izvadim organe
04:48
and then transport these organs
104
288260
2000
i onda te organe prevezem
04:50
to the recipient hospital
105
290260
2000
do odgovarajuće bolnice
04:52
and then graft the gift of life
106
292260
3000
i onda presadim dar života
04:55
to a recipient the same afternoon.
107
295260
3000
u primaoca tog istog popodneva.
04:58
No doubt, I was informed,
108
298260
2000
Nema sumnje, bila sam informirana,
05:00
the consent had been obtained.
109
300260
3000
suglasnost je bila dana.
05:06
But, in my life,
110
306260
2000
Ali u mom žvotu,
05:08
the one fulfilling skill that I had
111
308260
5000
jedina ispunjavajuća vještina koju sam posjedovala
05:13
was now invoking feelings of conflict --
112
313260
4000
je sada izazivala osjećaje konflikta --
05:17
conflict ranging
113
317260
2000
konflikt koji je bio u rasponu
05:19
from extreme sorrow and doubt at dawn
114
319260
4000
od ekstremne tuge i sumnje u zoru
05:23
to celebratory joy
115
323260
2000
do slavljeničke sreće
05:25
at engrafting the gift of life at dusk.
116
325260
4000
kada bi dala dar života u sumrak.
05:29
In my team,
117
329260
2000
U mojoj ekipi,
05:31
the lives of one or two of my colleagues
118
331260
3000
život jedno ili dvoje mojih kolega
05:34
were tainted by this experience.
119
334260
3000
je bio pokvaren ovim iskustvom.
05:37
Some of us may have been sublimated,
120
337260
3000
Neki od nas su možda to sublimirali,
05:40
but really none of us remained the same.
121
340260
4000
ali nitko od nas nije ostao isti.
05:44
I was troubled
122
344260
3000
Bila sam uznemirena
05:47
that the retrieval of organs from executed prisoners
123
347260
4000
da je vađenje organa iz pogubljenih zatvorenika
05:51
was at least as morally controversial
124
351260
3000
barem jednako kontroverzno kao i
05:54
as the harvesting of stem cells
125
354260
2000
vađenje matičnih stanica
05:56
from human embryos.
126
356260
3000
iz ljudskih embrija.
05:59
And in my mind,
127
359260
2000
Svojom glavom
06:01
I realized as a surgical pioneer
128
361260
3000
sam shvatila da kao kirurški pionir
06:04
that the purpose of my position of influence
129
364260
3000
svrha moje utjecajne pozicije
06:07
was surely to speak up
130
367260
2000
je bio da dignem glas
06:09
for those who have no influence.
131
369260
3000
za one koji nemaju utjecaja.
06:12
It made me wonder
132
372260
2000
Zapitala sam se
06:14
if there could be a better way --
133
374260
2000
da li može postojati bolji način --
06:16
a way to circumvent death
134
376260
3000
način da se zaobiđe smrt
06:19
and yet deliver the gift of life
135
379260
2000
a još uvijek pruži dar života
06:21
that might exponentially impact
136
381260
3000
koji bi mogao eksponencionalno utjecati
06:24
millions of patients worldwide.
137
384260
3000
na milijune pacijenata širom svijeta.
06:28
Now just about that time,
138
388260
2000
Baš oko tog vremena
06:30
the practice of surgery evolved
139
390260
2000
je kirurška struka evoluirala
06:32
from big to small,
140
392260
2000
iz velike u malu,
06:34
from wide open incisions
141
394260
2000
od široko otvorenih incizija
06:36
to keyhole procedures,
142
396260
2000
na majušne zahvate,
06:38
tiny incisions.
143
398260
2000
sitne incizije.
06:41
And in transplantation, concepts shifted
144
401260
3000
I u transplataciji, koncepti su se mijenjali
06:44
from whole organs to cells.
145
404260
3000
sa cijelih organa na stanice.
06:47
In 1988, at the University of Minnesota,
146
407260
3000
1988 godine, na Sveučilištu u Minnesoti,
06:50
I participated in a small series
147
410260
3000
sudjelovala sam u maloj seriji
06:53
of whole organ pancreas transplants.
148
413260
3000
transplantacija cijelih gušterača.
06:56
I witnessed the technical difficulty.
149
416260
3000
Svjedočila sam tehničkim poteškočama.
06:59
And this inspired in my mind
150
419260
2000
I ovo je inspiriralo u meni
07:01
a shift from transplanting whole organs
151
421260
4000
pomak od transplantacije cijelih organa
07:05
to perhaps transplanting cells.
152
425260
2000
na možda transplantiranje stanica.
07:07
I thought to myself,
153
427260
2000
Pomislila sam
07:09
why not take the individual cells
154
429260
3000
zašto ne uzeti individualne stanice
07:12
out of the pancreas --
155
432260
2000
iz gušterače --
07:14
the cells that secrete insulin to cure diabetes --
156
434260
3000
stanice koje izlučuju inzulin kako bi izliječili dijabetes --
07:17
and transplant these cells? --
157
437260
3000
i transplantirati te stanice? --
07:20
technically a much simpler procedure
158
440260
2000
tehnički puno jednostavniji postupak
07:22
than having to grapple with the complexities
159
442260
3000
nego da morate se boriti s kompleksnim
07:25
of transplanting a whole organ.
160
445260
3000
postupkom transplantiranja cijelog organa.
07:28
And at that time,
161
448260
2000
U to vrijeme
07:30
stem cell research
162
450260
2000
istraživanje matičnih stanica
07:32
had gained momentum,
163
452260
2000
je dobilo momentum,
07:34
following the isolation of the world's first
164
454260
3000
nakon prve svjetske izolacije
07:37
human embryonic stem cells
165
457260
2000
ljudskih embrijskih matičnih stanica
07:39
in the 1990s.
166
459260
3000
u 90-tima.
07:42
The observation that stem cells, as master cells,
167
462260
3000
Obzervacija da su matične stanice, kao "vodeće" stanice,
07:45
could give rise
168
465260
2000
bi mogla otvoriti put
07:47
to a whole variety of different cell types --
169
467260
2000
prema cijeloj paleti različitih tipova stanica --
07:49
heart cells, liver cells,
170
469260
2000
srčanih stanica, jetrenih stanica,
07:51
pancreatic islet cells --
171
471260
2000
stanica otočića gušterače --
07:53
captured the attention of the media
172
473260
3000
uhvatila je pažnju medija
07:56
and the imagination of the public.
173
476260
3000
i imaginaciju publike.
07:59
I too was fascinated
174
479260
2000
Ja sam također bila fascinirana
08:01
by this new and disruptive cell technology,
175
481260
3000
ovom novom i disruptivnom staničnom tehnologijom
08:04
and this inspired a shift in my mindset,
176
484260
3000
i to me inspiriralo da promjenim svoj način razmišljanja,
08:07
from transplanting whole organs
177
487260
2000
s transplantacije cijelih organa
08:09
to transplanting cells.
178
489260
3000
na transplantaciju stanica.
08:12
And I focused my research on stem cells
179
492260
3000
I fokusirala sam svoja istraživanja na matične stanice
08:15
as a possible source
180
495260
2000
kao mogući izvor
08:17
for cell transplants.
181
497260
2000
za transplantaciju stanica.
08:20
Today we realize
182
500260
2000
Danas shavaćamo
08:22
that there are many different types of stem cells.
183
502260
3000
da postoje mnoge različite vrste matičnih stanica.
08:25
Embryonic stem cells
184
505260
2000
Embrijonalne matične stanice
08:27
have occupied center stage,
185
507260
2000
su zauzele središte pozornosti,
08:29
chiefly because of their pluripotency --
186
509260
4000
uglavnom zbog svoje pluripotentnosti --
08:33
that is their ease in differentiating
187
513260
3000
to je njihova sposobnost da diferenciraju
08:36
into a variety of different cell types.
188
516260
3000
u široku paletu različitih staničnih vrsta.
08:40
But the moral controversy
189
520260
3000
Ali moralna kontroverza
08:43
surrounding embryonic stem cells --
190
523260
3000
koja okružuje embrijonalne matične stanice --
08:46
the fact that these cells are derived
191
526260
2000
činjenica da su te stanice derivirane
08:48
from five-day old human embryos --
192
528260
3000
iz pet dana starih ljudskih embrija --
08:51
has encouraged research
193
531260
2000
je potaknula istraživanja
08:53
into other types of stem cells.
194
533260
3000
drugih vrsta matičnih stanica.
08:56
Now to the ridicule of my colleagues,
195
536260
4000
Sada čak i s podrugivanjem svojih kolega,
09:00
I inspired my lab
196
540260
2000
inspiriram svoj laboratorij
09:02
to focus on what I thought
197
542260
3000
da se fokusira na ono što sam ja smatrala
09:05
was the most non-controversial source of stem cells,
198
545260
4000
da je najmanje kotroverzni izvor matičnih stanica,
09:09
adipose tissue, or fat, yes fat --
199
549260
3000
adipozno tkivo, ili masno tkivo, da mast --
09:12
nowadays available in abundant supply --
200
552260
3000
u današnje vrijeme je vrlo dostupno --
09:16
you and I, I think, would be very happy to get rid of anyway.
201
556260
4000
mislim da bi i vi i ja bili vrlo sretni da ga se riješimo.
09:21
Fat-derived stem cells
202
561260
2000
Matične stanice dobivene iz masnog tkiva
09:23
are adult stem cells.
203
563260
2000
su zrele matične stanice.
09:25
And adult stem cells
204
565260
2000
I zrele matične stanice
09:27
are found in you and me --
205
567260
2000
se nalaze u vama i u meni --
09:29
in our blood, in our bone marrow,
206
569260
2000
u našoj krvi, u našoj koštanoj srži,
09:31
in our fat, our skin and other organs.
207
571260
3000
u našem masnom tkivu, u našoj koži i drugim organima.
09:34
And as it turns out,
208
574260
2000
I ispada da
09:36
fat is one of the best sources
209
576260
2000
je masno tkivo jedan od najboljih izvora
09:38
of adult stem cells.
210
578260
2000
zrelih matičnih stanica.
09:40
But adult stem cells
211
580260
2000
Ali zrele matične stanice
09:42
are not embryonic stem cells.
212
582260
3000
nisu embrijonalne matične stanice.
09:45
And here is the limitation:
213
585260
2000
I tu nastaju ograničenja:
09:47
adult stem cells are mature cells,
214
587260
3000
zrele matične stanice su razvijene stanice,
09:50
and, like mature human beings,
215
590260
3000
i kao razvijena ljudska bića,
09:53
these cells are more restricted in their thought
216
593260
3000
ove stanice su više ograničene u svome razmišljanju
09:56
and more restricted in their behavior
217
596260
3000
i više ograničene u svome ponašanju
09:59
and are unable to give rise
218
599260
2000
i ne mogu se diferencirati
10:01
to the wide variety of specialized cell types,
219
601260
3000
u široku paletu specijaliziranih vrsta stanica,
10:04
as embryonic stem cells [can].
220
604260
2000
kao što to mogu embrijonalne matične stanice.
10:06
But in 2007,
221
606260
3000
Ali 2007. godine
10:09
two remarkable individuals,
222
609260
3000
dvoje izvanrednih individualaca,
10:12
Shinya Yamanaka of Japan
223
612260
2000
Shinya Yamanaka iz Japana
10:14
and Jamie Thomson of the United States,
224
614260
3000
i Jamie Thompson iz Sjedinjenih Država,
10:17
made an astounding discovery.
225
617260
3000
su napravili iznenađujuće otkriće.
10:20
They discovered
226
620260
2000
Oni su otkrili
10:22
that adult cells, taken from you and me,
227
622260
3000
da adultne stanice, uzete od vas ili mene,
10:25
could be reprogrammed
228
625260
3000
mogu biti reprogramirane
10:28
back into embryonic-like cells,
229
628260
2000
nazad u stanice slične embrijskim stanicama,
10:30
which they termed IPS cells,
230
630260
3000
i to su nazvali IPS stanice,
10:33
or induced pluripotent stem cells.
231
633260
5000
ili inducirane pluripotentne matične stanice.
10:38
And so guess what,
232
638260
2000
I pogodite što se dogodilo,
10:40
scientists around the world and in the labs
233
640260
3000
znanstvenici širom svijeta i u laboratorijima
10:43
are racing
234
643260
2000
se žure
10:45
to convert aging adult cells --
235
645260
3000
konvertirati zrele stanice koje stare --
10:48
aging adult cells from you and me --
236
648260
2000
zrele stanice od vas i mene koje stare --
10:50
they are racing to reprogram these cells
237
650260
3000
žure se reprogramirati ove stanice
10:53
back into more useful IPS cells.
238
653260
4000
nazad u više korisne IPS stanice.
10:58
And in our lab,
239
658260
2000
I u našem laboratoriju,
11:00
we are focused on taking fat
240
660260
2000
mi smo fokusirani na uzimanje masnog tkiva
11:02
and reprogramming
241
662260
2000
i reprogramiranju
11:04
mounds of fat
242
664260
2000
brda masti
11:06
into fountains of youthful cells --
243
666260
4000
u fontane mladolikih stanica --
11:10
cells that we may use
244
670260
2000
stanice koje se mogu koristiti
11:12
to then form other,
245
672260
2000
kako bi oblikovali druge,
11:14
more specialized, cells,
246
674260
2000
više specijalizirane stanice,
11:16
which one day may be used as cell transplants.
247
676260
3000
koje bi se jednog dana mogle koristiti kao stanice za transplantaciju.
11:20
If this research is successful,
248
680260
3000
Ako je ovo istraživanje uspješno,
11:23
it may then reduce the need
249
683260
3000
moglo bi reducirati potrebu
11:26
to research and sacrifice
250
686260
2000
da se istražuju i žrtvuju
11:28
human embryos.
251
688260
3000
ljudski embriji.
11:32
Indeed, there is a lot of hype, but also hope
252
692260
3000
Naravno, digla se prašina, ali i nada
11:35
that the promise of stem cells
253
695260
2000
da obećanja koja sa sobom nose matične stanice
11:37
will one day provide cures
254
697260
2000
da će jednog dana omogućiti izlječenje
11:39
for a whole range of conditions.
255
699260
2000
za veliki broj raznih stanja.
11:41
Heart disease, stroke, diabetes,
256
701260
3000
Srčane bolesti, moždanog udara, dijabetesa,
11:44
spinal cord injury, muscular dystrophy,
257
704260
2000
oštečenja leđne moždine, mišićne distrofije,
11:46
retinal eye diseases --
258
706260
3000
retinalne distrofije --
11:49
are any of these conditions
259
709260
2000
da li je jedno od ovih stanja
11:51
relevant, personally, to you?
260
711260
3000
vama osobno relevantno?
11:54
In May 2006,
261
714260
3000
U svibnju 2006. godine,
11:57
something horrible happened to me.
262
717260
3000
nešto strašno mi se dogodilo.
12:00
I was about to start a robotic operation,
263
720260
2000
Upravo sam trebala započeti operaciju s robotom,
12:02
but stepping out of the elevator
264
722260
2000
ali kada sam izašla iz dizala
12:04
into the bright and glaring lights of the operating room,
265
724260
3000
u jaka i blješteća svjetla operacijske sale,
12:07
I realized
266
727260
2000
shvatila sam
12:09
that my left visual field
267
729260
2000
da moje lijevo vidno polje
12:11
was fast collapsing into darkness.
268
731260
3000
je vrlo brzo padalo u mrak.
12:14
Earlier that week,
269
734260
2000
Ranije tog tjedna,
12:16
I had taken a rather hard knock
270
736260
2000
doživjela sam jači udarac
12:18
during late spring skiing -- yes, I fell.
271
738260
3000
tijekom kasno proljetnog skijanja -- da, pala sam.
12:21
And I started to see floaters and stars,
272
741260
2000
I počela sam viđati lebdeće čestice i zvjezdice,
12:23
which I casually dismissed
273
743260
2000
koje sam nemarno odbacila
12:25
as too much high-altitude sun exposure.
274
745260
3000
kao posljedicu prevelike izloženosti suncu na visinama.
12:28
What happened to me
275
748260
2000
Ono što mi se dogodilo
12:30
might have been catastrophic,
276
750260
2000
je moglo biti katastrofalno
12:32
if not for the fact
277
752260
2000
da nije činjenica
12:34
that I was in reach of good surgical access.
278
754260
2000
da sam imala dobar pristup kirurgiji.
12:36
And I had my vision restored,
279
756260
2000
I vratili su mi vid,
12:38
but not before a prolonged period of convalescence --
280
758260
3000
ali ne prije produženog perioda konvalescencije --
12:41
three months --
281
761260
2000
tri mjeseca --
12:43
in a head down position.
282
763260
2000
u poziciji s glavom prema dolje.
12:45
This experience
283
765260
2000
Ovo iskustvo
12:47
taught me to empathize more with my patients,
284
767260
3000
me naučilo da pokažem više empatije prema svojim pacijentima,
12:50
and especially those with retinal diseases.
285
770260
3000
pogotovo onima s retinalnim bolestima.
12:54
37 million people worldwide
286
774260
2000
37 milijuna ljudi širem svijeta
12:56
are blind,
287
776260
2000
je slijepo,
12:58
and 127 million more
288
778260
3000
i još 127 milijuna
13:01
suffer from impaired vision.
289
781260
3000
pati od poremećaja vida.
13:04
Stem cell-derived retinal transplants,
290
784260
3000
Retinalni transplantati derivirani iz matičnih stanica
13:07
now in a research phase,
291
787260
2000
koji su sada u fazi istraživanja,
13:09
may one day restore vision,
292
789260
2000
mogli bi jednog dana vratiti vid,
13:11
or part vision,
293
791260
2000
ili dio vida,
13:13
to millions of patients with retinal diseases worldwide.
294
793260
4000
milijunima pacijenata s retinalnim bolestima širom svijeta.
13:17
Indeed, we live
295
797260
2000
Stvarno živimo
13:19
in both challenging
296
799260
2000
u kako izazovnom
13:21
as well as exciting times.
297
801260
3000
toliko i uzbudljivom vremenu.
13:25
As the world population ages,
298
805260
3000
Kako svjetska populacija stari,
13:28
scientists are racing
299
808260
2000
znanstvenici se žure
13:30
to discover new ways
300
810260
2000
otkriti nove načine
13:32
to enhance the power of the body
301
812260
2000
na koje bi povećali moć tijela
13:34
to heal itself through stem cells.
302
814260
3000
kako bi se ono samo zacijelilo kroz matične stanice.
13:37
It is a fact
303
817260
2000
Činjenica je
13:39
that when our organs or tissues are injured,
304
819260
3000
da kada su naši organi ili tkiva ozljeđeni,
13:42
our bone marrow
305
822260
2000
naša koštana srž
13:44
releases stem cells
306
824260
2000
otpušta matične stanice
13:46
into our circulation.
307
826260
2000
u našu cirkulaciju.
13:48
And these stem cells
308
828260
2000
I ove matične stanice
13:50
then float in the bloodstream
309
830260
2000
onda plove našim krvotokom
13:52
and hone in to damaged organs
310
832260
3000
i nastane se u oštećenim organima
13:55
to release growth factors
311
835260
2000
kako bi otpustili faktore rasta
13:57
to repair the damaged tissue.
312
837260
2000
da bi popravili uništena tkiva.
13:59
Stem cells may be used as building blocks
313
839260
3000
Matične stanice se mogu koristiti kao građevni elementi
14:02
to repair damaged scaffolds within our body,
314
842260
4000
da bi popravili oštećene skele unutar naših tijela,
14:06
or to provide new liver cells
315
846260
2000
ili da osiguraju nove jetrene stanice
14:08
to repair damaged liver.
316
848260
3000
koje bi popravile oštećenu jetru.
14:11
As we speak, there are 117 or so clinical trials
317
851260
3000
Dok tu govorimo, postoji oko 117 kliničkih ispitivanja
14:14
researching the use of stem cells
318
854260
3000
koja istražuju korištenje matičnih stanica
14:17
for liver diseases.
319
857260
2000
za bolesti jetre.
14:19
What lies ahead?
320
859260
2000
Što je ispred nas?
14:21
Heart disease
321
861260
2000
Srčane bolesti
14:23
is the leading cause of death worldwide.
322
863260
2000
su vodeći uzrok smrti širom svijeta.
14:25
1.1 million Americans
323
865260
2000
1,1 milijun amerikanaca
14:27
suffer heart attacks yearly.
324
867260
3000
doživi srčani udar svake godine.
14:30
4.8 million
325
870260
2000
4,8 milijuna
14:32
suffer cardiac failure.
