Chapter 2351 How Awesome Is a Doctor Who Can Perform TIPS Surgery

"A study in the journal Cell shows that the flesh-eating bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes that causes necrotizing fasciitis 'hijacks' neurons, exploiting the normal mechanisms by which neurons communicate with the immune system after injury or infection in the body to survive."

Liu Xuzhi looked dazed. He was a radiologist in a small border town, so he didn't know anything about neurons and the immune system.

"When the body is injured, the nervous system sends out two signals, one to tell the brain and generate pain, and the other to suppress the immune system so that an excessive immune response does not cause collateral damage to healthy tissue."

"The mouse model found that flesh-eating bacteria exploit this mechanism by releasing the bacterial toxin streptolysin S to increase host pain and induce immune silencing."

"The human body is amazing. Bacteria are our natural enemies, just like what is said in this study. They are very smart, so we must not be careless."

"Brother Yun, can you speak briefly." Liu Xuzhi scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment.

"It means that you will feel very painful, and the body's reaction will naturally suppress the immune rejection, resulting in the silence of the immune system, and no response to the flesh-eating bacteria." Su Yun said, "When there is a reaction, it will be too late in the end."

After listening to him, Liu Xuzhi felt the swollen feeling from the index finger of his right hand, and felt a little pain.

"Inject and feed the "calcitonin gene-related peptide" blocker to the infected mice, so that the immune cells do not listen to the command of the neurons, and the flesh-eating bacteria infection is suppressed." Su Yun continued: "You don't need to know what is Calcitonin gene-related peptide, just go to the hospital for symptomatic treatment.”

Liu Xuzhi nodded repeatedly.

"Old Liu, I'm not talking nonsense with you." Su Yun said with a heavy tone, "in the words of our common people, it is called being eaten. Many patients have been eaten muscles, the kind with a large area. Cut, With debridement, at least half of the patients could not be saved in the end.”

Liu Xuzhi was frightened by Su Yun's "scaremongering", his heart was pounding, and he even forgot to think about seeing Boss Zheng's operation.

The airtight lead door opened slowly, and Zheng Ren walked out from inside.

It wasn't until this time that Liu Xuzhi noticed that he was only listening to Brother Yun's talk, and that Boss Zheng had already completed one operation.

The speed of this operation...

Inside, a clinical doctor was pressing to stop the bleeding. Zheng Ren asked, "Are you finished?"

"No, I haven't found any relevant cases for Lao Liu yet." Su Yundao, "In the past two years, I've seen them occasionally post related cases in the group, but if you want to find out the details, take a look. The uncomfortable kind, need some time."

Zheng Ren expressed his regret, when will Su Yun be a little more serious?

"It shouldn't be a big problem, just in case." Zheng Ren said seriously: "24-48 hours is a dangerous period. Observe carefully. If the local swelling is too fast, go to the hospital immediately."

"Yeah." Liu Xuzhi nodded hastily.

"Lucien Bouchard, the governor of Quebec, Canada, died like this." A smile appeared on the corner of Su Yun's mouth, and he said to Liu Xuzhi, "Eric Allin Cornell, the Nobel Prize winner in physics, also died of a flesh-eating fungus infection."

"..."

The more he said it, the more evil it became, Liu Xuzhi's heart was swollen.

"Yes." Zheng Ren nodded, instead of correcting Su Yun's alarmist remarks, he said, "In addition to Group A Streptococcus, there are also Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus that are commonly found in seawater."

"Now there is a saying that with the greenhouse effect, the area where the flesh-eating fungus is infested is rapidly expanding." Su Yun continued to add a sentence, telling Liu Xuzhi to give up the fantasy of being lucky.

Liu Xuzhi is about to cry, I can't go to see a doctor, please don't scare me.

"It's okay, old Liu." Su Yun stretched out his hand and patted Liu Xuzhi's shoulder, saying, "You know the boss's surgery."

Liu Xuzhi nodded.

"Even if it is a debridement, the boss can be more sure than others that you will not die." Su Yun said with a smile: "But the operation may not be possible."

Is this consolation? Liu Xuzhi didn't know. Anyway, after listening to Boss Zheng and Brother Yun's words, he became even more nervous.

Even Boss Zheng just has a greater certainty that he can't die... Isn't it still possible to die?

Simply, so frighteningly scary.

What did you do? I just ate a prawn, as for that.

Liu Xuzhi's nose and eyes were twisted together, and his face was a little gloomy.

"It's fine if you know you're afraid. Don't have surgery for the next two days." Zheng Ren said, "Come with me for the next surgery."

Hearing Boss Zheng's words, Liu Xuzhi was a little puzzled.

"Stand behind me and watch. I'll tell you some problems face to face." Zheng Ren said, "Think about it after you get back. Surgery requires not only continuous practice, but also brain thinking."

As he spoke, Zheng Ren pointed to his head with his finger.

Liu Xuzhi nodded, indicating that he knew.

"The kind that is ground out by surgery is a carpenter. You can only be proficient and sell it for oil. Think about it with your brain, forget it, anyway, I guess your talent is not in it, and you can't learn it." Su Yun By the way.

Su Yun's words, Liu Xuzhi already had a strong immunity.

When I was in Pengxi Township, I heard Brother Yun say many similar things. Not only himself, even Professor Mu of Pengcheng was sprayed by Yun Geer for the last sentence.

Liu Xuzhi grinned and stood up. Seeing the next patient coming up, he helped position him. Zheng Ren went to brush his hands and get dressed, and then the operation began.

Su Yun slumped on the seat lazily with Erlang's legs crossed, and said to Lin Jiaojiao, "Sister Lin, old Liu Pi really resist."

Lin Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Yes."

"I know you're wondering why the boss and I didn't come. Although you didn't say anything, you still feel a little awkward."

Lin Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, Brother Yun, is this the rhythm of a showdown?

"That's because you don't know how awesome a person who can perform TIPS surgery is." Su Yun said.

Lin Jiaojiao carefully tasted Su Yun's words.

Director Kong was the first to perform the TIPS operation on 912. She still clearly remembers that Director Kong performed the first operation for at least 5 hours.

When I finally came down, I already had symptoms of hypoglycemia. He opened a bottle of 10% glucose by himself and gave it to Director Kong to drink.

High tension, anxiety after repeated unsuccessful punctures, and the fatigue of performing surgery with dozens of catties of lead clothing are the main causes of hypoglycemia.

How can I not know the difficulty of TIPS surgery? Not to mention more than ten years ago, even now there are very few surgeons who can successfully perform one-needle puncture.

Just thinking of this, Lin Jiaojiao was startled suddenly, she understood what Su Yun meant.
