Doctor: It's reasonable to perform surgery on yourself.

Cannot be popularized!

No matter how sophisticated the method is, this type of xenoskin transplantation is still in the laboratory stage, and even the materials used are all produced at great expense of financial resources and energy.

For example, pig skin. Burns scientists around the world have done countless tests. Almost all pig skins are very prone to acute rejection reactions. Compared with the treatment effect, patients will die faster.

Therefore, this road has been blocked by more than half, and no one is involved anymore.

With the further advancement of science and technology, gene editing and gene modification have finally entered the human vision, and top medical scientists have applied them to the field of skin grafting, performing multi-gene editing on pigs, monkeys, etc. Finally, Xijing Hospital took the lead in completing a multi-gene editing pig skin transplantation treatment.

It can be said to be recorded in the history of burn medicine.

In the future, this achievement will become an important node in xenoskin transplantation that cannot be ignored.

But that's all.

This treatment cannot be replicated or reproduced. It is said to be a cure, but in fact it is more like a scientific research exploration regardless of cost and price.

For this success, many academicians and scientific researchers have come forward one after another. I don’t know how much money they spent to create this miracle, and there will never be a second such example.

Because it is necessary to prove that "multi-gene edited pig skin has good safety and effectiveness", then this scientific research has come to a successful conclusion, and all subsequent treatments must be calculated for profit.

If the cost is too high and the patient cannot afford it, of course, more importantly, whether the hospital has the ability... then it is naturally impossible to apply it.

Let alone other hospitals, Xijing, which completed the first case of treatment, will not reproduce it again.

So after weighing all the pros and cons, Xu Qiu still set his sights on allogeneic skin transplantation.

This method has no threshold, and anyone can do it.

Unlike other organ transplants that require various complicated operations such as matching, skin transplants do not require matching, because the skin between different regions and even different races is actually similar. Even skin donated by Africans can be used on domestic patients.

Except for the black spots, there is no problem.

Of course, allogeneic skin transplants can be used to temporarily control infection!

To put it bluntly, it is a temporary solution.

And if you want to completely control the infection, you have to combine special blood transfusions, a two-pronged approach!

Xu Qiu said: "To be precise, it is to transfuse blood with bacterial antibodies!"

This therapy should be familiar to the infectious disease department and the digestive department.

Many patients with intestinal infections who are dying in the ICU often take intestinal flora transplantation therapy when various antibiotics are ineffective.

The scientific name sounds high-sounding, but in fact, it is to transplant the functional flora of healthy human feces into the patient's body, commonly known as "old brings new", using healthy feces to moisturize the exhausted and damaged intestines... and ultimately help the body rebuild the intestinal flora.

The principle of special blood transfusion therapy is somewhat similar to this therapy, but it is more like an attenuated vaccine in essence.

However, what is transfused is not healthy feces or attenuated pathogens, but blood with antibodies.

Volunteers are used as transfer stations to voluntarily inject culture fluids containing three major infectious bacteria: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus and Staphylococcus.

When the immune defense mechanism of healthy volunteers is activated, it is also the time when high fever begins. This proves that antibodies have been produced and a large number of antibodies are used to fight against pathogens.

At this time, the blood of volunteers is drawn and injected into Tian Ling's body, using the immune system of healthy people to enhance her immunity, and directly using the same antibodies to kill bacteria!

If it works, this will be the main force to control sepsis!

The discussion lasted for more than half an hour, and basically no one on the scene could come up with a better solution.

Kong Lan, Cheng Pingsheng and others felt helpless... Facing Xu Qiu, they suddenly felt that their many titles were useless.

However, when they thought that the honors of the other party were definitely no less than their own, and that they had even created miracles, the two of them felt relieved again.

Yes, this should be Xu Qiu's true strength!

...

The consultation ended quickly, and Xu Qiu's therapy became Tian Ling's main treatment in the new stage.

However, although the direction was determined, palliative measures could not be taken in a short period of time.

After all, whether it is allogeneic skin transplantation or transfusion of blood with bacterial antibodies, it is not something that can be done casually, and strict preliminary preparation is required.

The former requires finding a skin donor.

Either a living person or skin from a dead donor.

The latter requires volunteers of the same blood type who are willing to be inoculated with three types of pathogens, and the body's immune system must take effect, and blood can be taken after evaluation.

"If the skin is taken, the patient has extremely severe burns, and the burn area of ​​the whole body exceeds 90%, so it is basically impossible to take skin from a living person." Xu Qiu pondered.

Donating a kidney to a loved one is acceptable to quite a few people.

But if you peel off half of your face and donate it, I'm afraid most people won't be willing.

Skin is too important. It not only plays a barrier role, but it is also an organ with social significance. To some extent, it determines the attitude of a person towards others.

Therefore, skin donation from living people is basically not considered, and it can only be obtained from dead patients.

Compared with the donation of other organs, the conditions for skin donation are much lower. As long as there is no serious infection, infectious disease, skin-specific autoimmune disease, etc., it is basically qualified.

Moreover, unlike ordinary organs that can be preserved for a few hours, skin will lose its activity if not transplanted quickly.

Skin can be preserved for several years by refrigeration!

Therefore, Xu Qiu can slowly communicate with the family members of the deceased patients, obtain the donation consent, take a piece from each deceased donor, and collect enough fragments to synthesize a complete person...

This is also the best way. After all, Tian Ling needs too much skin. The family members may be willing to donate all the internal organs because they can't see, but it is absolutely impossible to let the doctor peel off the skin of their dead relatives.

So you can take an inconspicuous area.

Well, after the skin is processed, the skin pieces taken from different people are not much different. If they are properly handled, there will be no problems.

...

Next, the clinical doctor began to recruit donors and antibody blood volunteers to treat Tian Ling.

During this period, the patient with twin uterus encountered in the night emergency department came with a banner, and the family was very grateful to Xu Qiu.

However, it took Xu Qiu a long time to remember this family.

The surgery on the patient was not that dangerous, but it looked and sounded incredible. After the surgery, the patient was discharged after three days of nursing.

"Take good care of yourself."

Recalling the medical history of the patient, Xu Qiu gently reminded him.

Hearing this, the tall girl's eyes reddened, and she suddenly clenched her fists and said, "Thank you, Dr. Xu, I will!"

Xu Qiu nodded, and just as he was about to speak, Shi Lian rushed in in a hurry.

"What's the matter?" He looked over quickly.

Recently, the only thing that can make Shi Lian so anxious is that there is a new critically ill patient in the emergency department, and it is undoubtedly Tian Ling.
