The clinical use of bone, cornea, skin, connective tissue and heart valve allografts has increased greatly in the past several years, with bone the most commonly transplanted tissue. Tissue allografts have been the vehicle to transmit infectious disease from donor to recipient. Provision of safe and effective tissue has gradually developed and improved as regional tissue banks have organized, and standards of practice evolved. Regional Blood Centres have the special capabilities and experience to provide the expertise required in tissue banking. Consequent to these community needs, regional bone and tissue banks have been established in blood banks and the experience of the American Red Cross in St Paul, Minnesota is described.
在过去几年中，骨、角膜、皮肤、结缔组织和心脏瓣膜同种异体移植物的临床应用大幅增加，其中骨是最常移植的组织。组织同种异体移植物一直是传染病从供体传播到受体的媒介。随着地区组织库的组建以及实践标准的演变，安全有效的组织供应已逐渐发展和完善。地区血液中心具备提供组织库所需专业知识的特殊能力和经验。基于这些社会需求，已在血库中设立了地区骨和组织库，并介绍了美国红十字会在明尼苏达州圣保罗的经验。
