骨をつくれない「難病」の男の子に、母親の骨髄を移植する手術が島根大学病院であった。通常は１歳未満で亡くなるケースが多いが、命をつないだのは、間葉系幹細胞を移植する再生医療。男児は今も人工呼吸器をつけているが容体は安定している。大学病院と国内屈指の培養技術をもつ研究所との連携が功を奏した。
　「おめでとう」。今年２月２２日、お祝いの言葉に包まれ、ベッド上で笑顔をふりまくのは、飯塚さんの長男。飯塚さんが「七五三の年齢になれた」と選んだ服を着て、ご機嫌だ。
　男児の病気は１０万人に１人とされる「低フォスファターゼ症」。骨をつくるのに必要な酵素ができず、胎児の時に発症すると、１年以内に呼吸障害などで死亡する場合が多い。確立した治療法はない。ともかく良かったですね。今回の例が一つの治療法の確立に動き出すことを期待したいですね。
