142: What is rejection?
Netizens in the live broadcast room were all amazed after hearing about this treatment method.
"No, I didn't hear wrong, right? Take out the bone, boil it, and then put the bone back? Can it still be used?"
"Haven't you boiled pork bone soup? If the bones are cooked, they definitely can't be used, but this method is indeed the best way to treat cancer."
"It sounds simple and crude, but the effect is indeed good."
There are two main methods for modern medical treatment of cancer.
One is inactivation, which is killing cancer cells.
Whether it's targeted drugs or chemotherapy, they are all aimed at this goal.
The other is control, which is inhibiting the formation of cancer cells.
Inactivated transplantation is one of the better methods for treating bone cancer.
Cancer cells, like other cells, will lose their activity and die due to changes in the external environment.
Therefore, taking out the bone and boiling it to inactivate it can minimize the impact of cancer cells on the body.
As for the bone itself, it will certainly lose its activity, such as losing its hematopoietic ability.
But the human body does not only have this one bone.
Therefore, from an overall perspective, being able to eliminate cancer cells at the cost of one bone is still very cost-effective.
After Qin Jiang explained the details of the surgery, Lu Ping immediately made a decision.
"Okay, then we'll use this inactivation transplantation method!"
"Dr. Qin, I can start the surgery now."
Qin Jiang glanced at him.
"Although it's not a major surgery, it still requires relatives to sign. Do you have any relatives who can come now?"
Lu Ping said with a bitter smile, "My parents are doing business abroad, and I don't have any family members who can sign for my surgery right now."
Qin Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Then how about this: I'll give you a surgical plan later, and then record a video explaining how to perform this surgical plan."
"Once you fully understand the risks of this surgery, I will need your personal signature."
Lu Ping nodded.
"That's no problem, as long as my illness can be cured quickly."
Ever since he was diagnosed with bone cancer, Lu Ping just wanted to have the surgery as soon as possible to cure his illness.
Every minute he waited, there was an extra minute of risk for the cancer cells in his body to spread.
Qin Jiang pointed to the QR code on the table.
"Scan the code to pay first, it's ninety-five thousand in total."
Lu Ping even suspected he had heard wrong.
Only ninety-five thousand for one surgery?
That's too cheap!
Ding.
[Detected that the host was blunt with the patient, revealing the patient's hidden illness, which greatly helped the patient. Mission complete.]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Blood Nourishing and Spirit Calming Formula.]
After scanning the code, Qin Jiang took out his phone, started recording, and then explained the entire surgical plan to Lu Ping in detail from beginning to end.
Lu Ping was a top student, so many things only needed to be explained once to him. During the process, Lu Ping would also ask questions about some key points, asking Qin Jiang to answer them for him.
After everything was confirmed to be correct, Lu Ping signed his name on the "Surgical Consent Form," and the surgery officially began.
Qin Jiang took Lu Ping to change into a Hospital gown, and then entered the operating room to begin the surgery.
Qin Jiang first determined the main location of the lesion based on the X-rays, then made an incision in the skin, avoiding major nerves and blood vessels, and removed the diseased bone from Lu Ping's body.
This was the first time netizens in the live broadcast room had seen such an "appetizing" scene.
You know, removing a bone from a living body, that scene is quite explosive.
"Oh my god, I'm gnawing on a bone right now, and suddenly the bone in my hand doesn't smell so good anymore."
"Oh my goodness, there really is a tumor on the bone! This is too amazing!"
"The more I look at it, the more I feel that life is such an amazing thing; a tumor can actually grow from a hard bone."
Under the amazed gaze of the netizens, Qin Jiang took out the bone, placed it on a plate, and began to inactivate it with liquid nitrogen.
The entire surgical process was very simple and crude, which many netizens found incredibly stress-relieving.
After Qin Jiang reinstalled the bone into Lu Ping's body, he began to closely monitor the data on the instruments to ensure that no other sudden situations would occur.
Seeing the surgery successfully completed, the netizens also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Compared to operating on the heart, this is indeed a minor surgery."
"This surgery should be considered successful, right? This Buddy's luck is pretty good; he met Dr. Qin before the cancer cells metastasized, so the cure rate should be quite high."
"The surgery was indeed successful, but the transplant may not be successful. Whenever a transplant is involved, there will be rejection. Now it depends on how severe Lu Ping's rejection is after the surgery."
Seeing the barrage say this, Liu Yan looked puzzled.
What is rejection?
Just then, Qin Jiang, who had finished the surgery, came out of the pharmacy.
He contacted the medical staff at a nearby Hospital for Lu Ping, and while he hadn't woken up from the anesthesia, Qin Jiang planned to directly send him to another Hospital for subsequent care.
Seeing Qin Jiang writing Lu Ping's medical record, Liu Yan asked curiously, "Dr. Qin, I see many netizens saying that inactivation transplantation will have rejection."
"Can you tell us what this rejection is all about?"
Qin Jiang explained, "Rejection is a protective mechanism of the human body's self-immune system. You can understand it as the immune system being able to function because it distinguishes between friend and foe."
"The most common rejection reaction is vomiting."
"For example, if you eat something you shouldn't, something toxic, then your body will have a reaction of nausea and wanting to vomit."
"Through this reaction, the body can expel most of the toxins, thereby avoiding further damage to the body. This is rejection."
The human body is very fragile, but at the same time, it is also very powerful.
Many seemingly illogical reactions are actually protective mechanisms that humans have naturally evolved over millions of years.
For example, allergies, vomiting, shock, etc., these are all self-protection mechanisms of the body.
Similarly, when our body undergoes transplantation, the body will also produce a rejection reaction.
The immune system needs to first identify whether this thing is part of itself. If the identification is successful, everyone is happy.
If it cannot be identified, the body will experience a rejection reaction, which can even be life-threatening in severe cases.
Therefore, this step is very important during organ transplantation.
After Qin Jiang explained it this way, Liu Yan and the netizens understood.
"So, in fantasy novels, taking other people's supreme bones at every turn is actually a suicidal act?"
"Indeed, putting someone else's bone into your own body, unless it's a blood relative, the rejection reaction can directly kill him."
"Hahaha, what on earth are you guys discussing? This idea is too wild!"
