Good luck! This village is full of billionaires
Chapter 172
4 beginning.
Rainbow Hospital.
Neurosurgery Building.
Deng Chang brought his younger brother Deng Sheng to the doctor.
Deng Sheng suffers from spinal muscular dystrophy, and since he was a child, he has a general disability and skeletal deformities, and only his head is normal.
Like Hawking, he can't move his body below the head, so he has to live in a wheelchair and has to take medication to slow his life.
Because I have to take care of my younger brother.
Deng Chang dragged on until he was 32 years old and did not get married.
The only thing to be thankful for is.
God closed the door for Deng Chang and Deng Sheng, but opened a window for them.
After the merger of Rainbow Village.
Deng Chang and Deng Sheng officially became Rainbow Villagers
They can get a high dividend at the end of each year.
After having money.
Deng Chang did not spend money indiscriminately, but used the money to seek medical treatment for his younger brother.
Rainbow Hospital was just established.
Deng Chang took his younger brother to the hospital for treatment.
It's a pity......
At that time, Rainbow Hospital's medical skills were not so high that it could not treat Deng Sheng's disease.
To this end, Deng Chang took his younger brother and successively traveled to Qilu Hospital, West China Hospital, and Yanjing Union Hospital.
I have even visited the Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Massachusetts General Hospital, the University of Tokyo Hospital, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Karolinska University Hospital, and Charité Medical School.
It's a pity.
At the current level of medicine, there is no cure for spinal muscular dystrophy.
These world's top hospitals, there is no good way.
Just the other day.
Rainbow Hospital brought a phone call to Deng Chang, saying that there was a way to treat Deng Chang's disease, and asked him if he wanted to try it.
Have the mindset of giving it a try.
Deng Chang took his younger brother and immediately rushed back from abroad, came to Rainbow Hospital, and met Xu Chuan.
Xu Chuan is the director of Rainbow Hospital.
At the same time, he is also the top neurosurgeon in China.
Outpatient room.
Xu Chuan watched Deng Sheng's inspection report in detail.
He said with a solemn expression: "Deng Chang, your brother's spinal cord surname muscular dystrophy is very serious. If you want to restore your brother's health, it is basically impossible to use conventional medical methods. "
"Dean, can you think of another way?"
Deng Chang hurriedly pleaded.
He checked the information of Rainbow Hospital.
Rainbow Hospital has pioneered many of the world's first surgeries and ranks among the top 3 hospitals in the country!
On the level of surgery alone.
Rainbow Hospital, it should be the first in the country.
Xu Chuan was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, there is no way. "
"What's the solution?"
Deng Chang continued to ask.
Xu Chuan said in a deep voice: "To treat your brother, you need to use the allogeneic head and body reconstruction technique, which is commonly known as the head replacement technique!"
The patient transplants his or her head into a sound body and becomes an able-bodied person again.
The specific way is to find a body that is successfully matched, and then through surgery, you can change your brother's head.
In this way, your brother will be able to have a healthy body.
Of course, this surgery has never been performed in the world, and it is extremely risky.
Theoretically.
This is the only way your brother can regain his health!"
"Head replacement surgery?"
Deng Chang was stunned and a little surprised.
Hair swapping, he had heard of in ancient books.
Books such as "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", "Sou Shen Ji", and "Youminglu" all have stories of "changing heads".
But these are all myths and folklore!
in the real world.
Never had a head replacement surgery ever done!
Deng Changgang wanted to refuse, but when he saw his younger brother Deng Sheng, he asked with interest: "Dean Xu, can you talk about the head change technique in detail?"
Xu Chuan said truthfully: "There are six steps in the theory of head replacement surgery.
First, find an intact body or body first, and the matching is successful, and there is no obvious rejection.
Second, the body and head that will be connected together are cooled to 12 to 15 C to ensure that the cells can survive without oxygen for a while.
Thirdly, the spinal cord is cut cleanly by cutting the tissues, muscles, blood vessels, etc. around the neck, and then using a very sharp blade.
Fourth, the severed head is attached to someone else, and a chemical called polyethylene glycol is used to fuse the spine wound and promote cell meshing.
Fifth, after the successful connection between the muscles and blood supply, the patient will remain in a coma for a month to prevent the newly fused neck from moving significantly.
Sixth, the patient will be able to move immediately after waking up, and with the help of physical therapy, he will be able to start walking within a year.
Of course, these steps are all theoretical.
At each step, accidents can occur and lead to the death of the patient. "
Hear this.
Deng Chang asked, "Dean, Rainbow Hospital, what are the chances of successfully completing the head replacement surgery?"
"Less than 10!"
Xu Chuan said truthfully: "After all, theory is theory, not practice.
First, the brain is frozen to 12-15, and when this operation is performed on 10 people, only 3 to 4 people's brains survive.
Secondly, when an individual's spinal cord is completely severed, it is very difficult to reconnect and regain function.
Finally, the rejection reaction of head replacement surgery is extremely large, and even if the surgery is successful, sequelae may occur and then death. "
The words fell.
The needle drop is audible in the outpatient room, and it is extremely quiet.
With less than 10 odds, it's almost the same as failure.
Deng Chang glanced at his younger brother, and then said, "Dean Xu, forget it." My brother is only living in a wheelchair, but at least he is still alive. "
Xu Chuan nodded.
The chances of a successful head replacement surgery are too low!
At the rate of progress of medicine.
Maybe if we talk about head replacement surgery in ten years, the chances of success will be higher.
At this time, Deng Sheng spoke: "Dean Xu, I want to have a head replacement surgery! Even if the odds are low, I am willing to try!"
"You're crazy!"
Deng Chang scolded: "You have to try the 1 in 10 chance, even gamblers don't want to gamble!"
Deng Sheng smiled bitterly: "Brother, what is the difference between my ghost appearance and death?"
Instead of being paralyzed in a wheelchair for the rest of your life, you might as well choose to fight!
If it succeeds, everyone will be happy.
If I fail, then I have no regrets.
On the contrary, in the history of modern medicine, I can leave a valuable experience in head replacement surgery for future surgeons to refer to!"
"You ......"
Deng Chang wanted to speak and stopped, and took back the words that he wanted to scold.
Don't go through the suffering of others, don't persuade others to be kind.
Since he was a child, his younger brother has suffered from myelotrophy.
He can only live in a wheelchair and cannot take care of himself.
Rainbow Village merged with the village.
When his family was rich, he hired a nanny to take care of his younger brother's food, drink, and Lazar.
Think about it.
What my younger brother hopes most is to be able to become a healthy person.
Deng Chang asked, "Ah Sheng, have you ever thought about what I will do if you die?"
"Brother, I really want to fight!"
Deng Sheng said affectionately: "Even if I die on the operating table, just because you are a rainbow villager, it is enough to live a rich life for a lifetime, I don't want to drag you down anymore!"
The voice fell.
Deng Chang was silent again.
After a long silence.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Since you want to fight the probability, then I will bear it with you!"
"Good!"
Deng Sheng smiled, his eyes were extremely determined.
Then, Deng Chang looked at Xu Chuan and asked, "Dean, how much does the head replacement surgery cost?"
"You're a rainbow villager, and you're all free!"
Xu Chuan said: "The head replacement operation is a super large operation that takes a long time.
The procedure requires the participation of 150 doctors and nurses and takes 36 hours to complete.
Before the surgery, we will experiment with a large number of mice.
Numerous experimental data will increase the final success rate of head replacement surgery.
At the same time, I will also be your brother's chief surgeon!"
Hearing this, Deng Chang nodded.
Head replacement surgery doesn't start now.
Younger brother Deng Sheng also needs to find a sound body for matching.
Recently, more than 100 top doctors at Rainbow Hospital also need to increase their experience through animal head replacement surgery.
Deng Chang took a deep breath and said, "Dean, we did the head replacement surgery! Even if it only improves the success rate a little, it is worth it!"
"That's fine!"
Xu Chuan said with a smile: "Next, all the matters related to your brother's body matching and surgery will be handed over to our Rainbow Hospital!"
......
A week later.
Rainbow Hospital, Neurosurgery Building.
The most advanced and high-end ultra-large operating room.
The first head replacement operation in human history is about to begin. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The whole operation was broadcast live for the medical community to watch.
The live broadcast room of the head replacement surgery was pinned high on the homepage of the official website of Rainbow Live.
Of course, the user who watches the live broadcast must be a doctor.
Ordinary users, not eligible to watch.
In the live broadcast room at this moment. []
Tens of thousands of doctors or medical students have already poured in.
The doctors flew in unison.
"Replacement surgery? Am I right? Rainbow Hospital is going to challenge the world's most difficult surgery?"
"Skull transplantation has always been regarded as something that can only happen in science fiction and mythological stories, and it is simply impossible to do it in reality!"
"There are four obstacles to be overcome, namely the problem of central nervous system regeneration, the problem of immune rejection, the problem of cerebral cryopreservation and the prevention of ischemia-reperfusion injury, and the ethical problem. Have you overcome all these problems?"
"Changing the head needs to cut off the spinal cord, and how can the millions of spinal nerves that have been severed be successfully connected?"
"I hope that the surgery will be successful, and once it is successful, it will bring new hope to many paralyzed and disabled people!"
Regardless of whether this operation is successful or not, Rainbow Hospital has made history!"
......
Everyone was talking.
Dean Xu Chuan, who was wearing a surgical gown, came to the camera.
"The patient suffers from muscle atrophy of the spinal cord and is unable to take care of himself.
At present, there is no cure for this disease, and only medicine can prolong life.
After communicating with the patient, the patient chose to try head replacement surgery and become an able-bodied person.
A body donor, who is selected to be a brain dead patient with an immunophenotypic body structure that matches the body structure, blood type, sex, and tissue.
The whole operation is divided into two parts.
The first part is the head anastomosis, and the second part is the spinal cord fusion.
According to the preoperative plan, the operation lasted 36 hours and the number of participants was 156.
The 156 people are divided into two surgical teams, including doctors, nurses, paramedical staff, medical assistants, and psychologists.
Now, the body temperature of both patients and donors has dropped to minus 15 degrees Celsius.
This slows down the rate of cell death and lowers the body's metabolism.
This surgery has been approved by the Medical Theory Committee of Rainbow Hospital.
Without further ado, the operation has officially begun!"
......
All the doctors in the live broadcast room watched.
Xu Chuan first cut open the skin, muscles, blood vessels, bones and other tissues around the patient's neck.
A particularly sharp knife is then used to separate the patient's skull from the spinal cord.
The incisions are very neat to facilitate subsequent suturing of the spinal cord.
The operating table on the other side.
The donor's skull and spinal cord were also separated.
The actions of both sides flowed smoothly and in one go.
The accompanying neurosurgeon quickly sent the patient's head to the nearby operating table.
Next, Xu Chuan used artificial blood vessels to connect the donor's body to the patient's head.
......
The doctors in the live broadcast room.
All breathed a sigh of relief at the moment.
The first step of head replacement surgery, "head anastomosis", has been a complete success.
But they soon became very worried.
The most difficult part of head replacement surgery is spinal cord fusion!
The previous severance of the spinal cord was accompanied by the severing of millions of nerves in the spinal cord.
Now you need to pick them up one by one!
If you can't pick them all up.
Even if the patient survives the surgery, he is still paralyzed.
Then the meaning of surgery will be completely lost!
......
on the operating table.
Xu Chuan is connecting nerves in the spinal cord.
HD live viewing angle.
The doctors who watched the live broadcast could clearly see that the spinal cord nerves such as the anterior spinal vein, the posterior spinal artery, the posterior spinal vein, the posterior external spinal vein, the dorsal root ganglia, and the dorsal nerve were connected one by one.
The medical assistants, through the 3D printing model, kept telling Xu Chuan that the specific spinal cord nerves that should be connected in the future.
At the same time, the first assistant is injecting induced pluripotent neural stem cells into the patient's spinal cord.
This kind of stem cell can be used to separate the nerve endings of the spinal cord to build a "bridge" and make it easier to connect nerves.
The 983rd assistant is using a glue-like substance called polyethylene glycol to fuse the spinal wound and promote the meshing of stem cells to make many spinal nerves adhesion.
The third assistant is using a large number of complex tissue immunosuppressive therapy drugs to effectively protect the function of the central nervous system and solve the problem of anti-rejection.
While the operating table is busy.
The medical staff cooperated with this operation wholeheartedly.
Over time.
The chief surgeon, Xu Chuan, was replaced.
Other energetic neurosurgeons come to the stage to connect the nerves in the spinal cord.
The first assistant, the second assistant, the third assistant, nurses, medical assistants, etc., are also constantly rotated.
Due to the relatively terrifying scene of the operation.
During the operation, the psychologists constantly relax the body and mind to avoid negative emotions.
......
In the live broadcast room.
The doctors were dumbfounded!
How else can it be done?
It stands to reason that it takes 11 days for millions of spinal nerves to connect even one nerve per second.
Can a patient stay on the operating table for 11 days?
Obviously impossible!
Therefore, the consensus of the medical community is that it is impossible to complete a head transplant!
They were very curious.
The first surgical assistant, why inject induced pluripotent neural stem cells?
After the injection, why are there bridges in the nerve endings of the spinal cord that facilitate nerve connections?
Second surgical assistant, why use polyethylene glycol to promote stem cell meshing?
From a live broadcast perspective.
The speed of adhesion of the spinal cord nerves is much faster than that of the chief surgeon Lu Chen!
With the cooperation of three aspects.
Millions of spinal nerves are really possible to be connected!
Isn't that incredible?
Is it really possible to succeed in head replacement surgery?
Come to think of it.
The doctors were so excited!
Of course, excitement is excitement, and they can't stare at the live broadcast all day long.
Take a look at it early in the morning when you go to work.
Look at it for a while when you get home from work.
— Hours passed......
live screen.
It's still the picture of the doctors connecting the nerves in the spinal cord.
It seems boring, but it marks a milestone in modern medicine!
......
More than 30 hours have passed.
The last spinal nerve was successfully connected.
At this time, the chief surgeon, Xu Chuan, was putting the finishing touches on it.
The finishing touches are stitched.
It's not difficult, but it's not relaxing.
He began to suture the patient's skull, with the muscles and skin of the new torso.
In addition, the patient's blood vessels, nerves, and esophagus also need to be sutured.
Suturing work directly affects the patient's postoperative recovery.
All sessions are over.
In the operating room, there were extremely enthusiastic cheers.
Many nurses even burst into tears.
This is the first head replacement operation in human history, and it is so difficult!
There are millions of nerves in the spinal cord, each of which has to be connected.
But with the success of the operation.
All the hard work and exhaustion are worth it.
Rainbow Hospital, once again made history!
