Reborn Wife Strikes Back in the 80s

Thinking of the possibility of a bone marrow transplant in the future, Guo Xiang felt that this method was too outdated, and the efficiency would be lower even if the donor was in pain.

In fact, bone marrow transplantation is mainly to transplant hematopoietic stem cells, but it was not possible to separate hematopoietic stem cells before, so only the bone marrow could be extracted directly. into the recipient's body.

The blood from which the stem cells have been isolated can also be returned to the original donor's body, which will have less impact on the donor's body.

Guo Xiang asked around, and then asked President Lin of Beijing Medical University, and learned that there was a company that made medical equipment that really had this kind of machine, or imported it.

When I ask, it costs 300,000.

But it's okay, it's not just for this time, it can be used in the future. Such as leukemia, etc. can be used.

Guo Xiang immediately contacted the company to order, let them deliver to the door, and then installed and debugged. Except for part of the balance, most of the payment was settled first, so as to avoid any problems.

Of course, even if there is a problem, they will also provide warranty, and they are not a one-off deal.

On the contrary, knowing that Guo Xiang's hospital has strength, they also gave them a discount. If they need other machines in the future, they can give priority to supplying them.

Guo Xiang is also happy, so that he does not have to go abroad to buy, import customs declaration and other procedures will take a lot of time and energy, it is better to buy ready-made.

After a few days of physical examinations for the two children and a matching test, all the examination reports were handed over to Guo Xiang.

"Sister-in-law, how is it, can it be cured?" Guo'er asked Guo Xiang.

Guo Xiang nodded while reading the report, "This thalassemia, also known as thalassemia, is a group of hereditary hemolytic anemia diseases."

"Anemia or pathological condition resulting from the absence or insufficiency of synthesis of one or more globin chains in hemoglobin due to an inherited genetic defect."

"It is more common in Guangdong, Xiguang, and Sichuan provinces in China. There are sporadic cases in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, and fewer in the north. That's why so many people have this disease in Qin Shaosheng."

"It is generally divided into light, intermediate and severe. The mild type generally has no symptoms, and it does not affect daily life. At most, take some medicine. The intermediate and moderate anemia can generally live to adulthood, and the severe type is prone to premature death."

"And the severe type has obvious characteristics, such as anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, dysplasia, and the appearance of a large head, wide eyes, protruding forehead, easy fractures, etc..."

"No wonder I said that Tongtong and that Tongtong look a bit similar, and they don't look very good. It's because they are both severely ill, so they look like that?" Guo'er said.

Guo Xiang nodded, "So it's still easy to tell the difference. Heavy-duty medicine is basically ineffective, and blood transfusion is possible, but it is also a cure for the symptoms rather than the root cause. The main thing is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which is what we usually call bone marrow transplantation."

"Can Chengcheng be transplanted to Tongtong?" Guo'er asked.

"Yes, they are brothers and sisters, and the blood type is the same. In fact, it is just the umbilical cord blood of the newly born fetus, but most people do not know and do not store umbilical cord blood. If some people have a leukemia child at home, they cannot find the matching type, so they deliberately conceive. One child is to save another child..."

"So it can still be like this?" Guo'er nodded, she studied Chinese medicine, so her knowledge is still very limited.

"So Chengcheng and Tongtong are a successful match?" Guo'er asked.

"Yes, they have done it before, but even this operation costs a lot of money, and they can't afford it." Guo Xiang sighed, so it is necessary to establish this fund by himself, at least it can help some people.

"Can we start working then?" Guo'er asked.

"It's not that fast. It will take four days to mobilize Chengcheng. You go and call their father over." Guo Xiang said.

After the child lived in, Qin Shaosheng expressed his gratitude and said that he would be obliged to help the hospital. Guo Xiang asked him to do cleaning and nursing work.

Of course, he will be paid when the time comes. His family is so difficult, and it is not easy to have two children.

Guo'er called Tan Shaosheng over. Tan Shaosheng was doing hygiene and took off his gloves, a little cautious, "Dean Guo, are you looking for me?"

Guo Xiang nodded, "Sit down, I'll tell you about the child."

"The inspections have been completed, and the two children are indeed matched. Tomorrow, we will start giving the children a mobilization agent." Guo Xiang said.

"What is a mobilization agent?" Tan Shaosheng asked.

"The mobilization agent is injected into Chengcheng's body. The transplant is mainly to transplant hematopoietic stem cells. This hematopoietic stem cell is transplanted into Tongtong's body and grows well in her body. Later, it will make blood by itself, and the body will get better."

"But the hematopoietic stem cells in the human body are also limited. The ones in Chengcheng's body are taken out for Tongtong, and he himself will have less. Of course, his body will grow, but in order to get more, he needs to use mobilization agent."

"This mobilization agent is a factor for the growth of hematopoietic stem cells, so that the stem cells in the body can rapidly proliferate and differentiate, so that there are more stem cells in the bone marrow, and then the stem cells will be released into the blood, so there is no need to extract the bone marrow. , just isolate the stem cells from the blood.”

Qin Shaosheng nodded, it turned out to be the case.

"The mobilization agent will be used for four days, and it will start tomorrow. After the treatment, the child may feel a little uncomfortable, such as backache, bone headache, etc. After all, it is a little uncomfortable to make it grow rapidly, so you can give the child a warm compress when you have time. Let him not be so uncomfortable." Guo Xiang said.

"Okay, thank you Dean Guo." Tan Shaosheng nodded, Dean Guo thought too much for the child.

"However, mobilizing agents will also increase the number of white blood cells. It is normal for children to have dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. If there is a rash, fever, etc., you should tell us in time. It may be an allergy. Treatment." Guo Xiang said.

"Okay, I remember." Qin Shaosheng nodded.

The next morning, the nurse came to give the first injection of mobilization agent.

Tong Tong was very distressed by the side, "Brother, does it hurt? I'll give you a hoo!"

After speaking, he pouted and blew lightly on Cheng Cheng's arm.

"Sister, it doesn't hurt." Chengcheng said softly.

"Chengcheng is so brave!" Guo'er was on the side, and she was very distressed to see that the child was so sensible.

"The second injection is required in eight hours." The nurse said, that is, another injection in the afternoon.

After the second injection in the afternoon, Chengcheng felt a little sore in his waist.

Tan Shaosheng hurriedly went to get hot water and put a towel on the child to warm it up. Tongtong also stayed by his brother's side.

The next day, the third and fourth injections were followed. Chengcheng obviously felt very uncomfortable in his waist, and was sore and swollen. After all, it was a child, and it was still painful.

Qin Shaosheng hurriedly massaged the child, but it was of no use.

"Continuing to apply hot compresses and giving the child a hot bath will also help," Guo Xiang said.

Chengcheng is still so young, it's not easy for his sister.
