"There's a study in the journal Cell that shows that the flesh-eating bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes, which causes necrotizing fasciitis, 'kidnaps' neurons and uses the normal communication mechanism between neurons and the immune system to survive after the human body is injured or infected."
Liu Xuzhi was at a loss. He was a radiologist in a small border county. How would he know anything about neurons and the immune system?
"After the body is injured, the nervous system will send out two types of signals. One is to tell the brain and produce pain; the other is to suppress the immune system, so as to avoid excessive immune response and collateral damage to healthy tissues.
"The mouse model found that the flesh-eating bacteria used this mechanism to increase the host's sense of pain and cause immune silence by releasing the bacterial toxin Streptococcus hemolysin S.
"The human body is very wonderful. Bacteria are our natural enemies, just like what this research said. They are very smart. We must not be careless.
"Brother Yun, can you explain it in simpler terms?" Liu Xuzhi scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.
"It means that you will feel a lot of pain. The body's reaction will naturally suppress the immune rejection, causing the immune system to be silent and not respond to the flesh-eating bacteria," Su Yun said. "When there is a reaction, it will be too late in the end."
Liu Xuzhi listened to him and felt the swelling feeling coming from his right index finger. He vaguely felt a little pain.
"Injecting and feeding the infected mice with calcitonin gene-related peptide blockers made the immune cells not listen to the commands of the neurons, and the flesh-eating bacteria infection was suppressed," Su Yun continued. "You don't need to know what calcitonin gene-related peptide is. You just need to go to the hospital for symptomatic treatment."
Liu Xuzhi nodded repeatedly.
"Old Liu, I'm not talking nonsense with you," Su Yun said in a serious tone. "In the words of ordinary people, it's called being eaten. Many patients have their muscles eaten, the kind that cover a large area. Cut open and debrided. In the end, at least half of the patients still can't be saved. "
Liu Xuzhi was frightened by Su Yun's' alarmist talk '. His heart was pounding. He had even forgotten that he had been thinking about watching Boss Zheng perform the surgery.
The airtight lead door slowly opened and Zheng Ren walked out from inside.
It was only then that Liu Xuzhi noticed that he had only listened to Brother Yun. Boss Zheng had already finished the surgery.
The speed of the surgery …
Inside, a clinical doctor was pressing to stop the bleeding. Zheng Ren asked, "Are you done?"
"No, I haven't found any relevant cases for Old Liu." Su Yun said, "In the past two years, I've seen them occasionally post related cases in the group. However, it will take some time to find a detailed case where they don't want to eat seafood for the rest of their lives and feel uncomfortable when they see seafood."
When would Su Yun be a little more serious?
"It shouldn't be a big problem. It's just a precaution." "24 to 48 hours is the critical period. Observe carefully. If the local swelling is too fast, go to the hospital immediately."
"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Xuzhi hurriedly nodded.
"Lucien, governor of Quebec, Canada.
That's how Bouchard died. " A smile appeared at the corner of Su Yun's mouth as he said to Liu Xuzhi, "The Nobel Prize in Physics winner, Eric Allin Cornell, also died because of a flesh-eating bacteria infection."
"…"
The more he said, the more evil it became. Liu Xuzhi's heart was swollen.
"Yes." Zheng Ren nodded. Not only did he not correct Su Yun's alarmist words, but he also said, "In addition to Streptococcus A, there are also Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus commonly found in seawater."
"Now there's a saying that with the greenhouse effect, the area of flesh-eating bacteria is rapidly expanding," Su Yun continued to add, making Liu Xuzhi give up his fantasy of being lucky.
Liu Xuzhi was about to cry. 'Can't I go to see a doctor? Don't scare me, okay?'
"It's okay, Old Liu." Su Yun reached out and patted Liu Xuzhi's shoulder. "You know the boss's surgical skills."
Liu Xuzhi nodded.
"Even if it's debridement, the boss has a greater chance of making you not die than others," Su Yun said with a smile. "However, the surgery might not be performed."
Was this comfort? Liu Xuzhi did not know. Anyway, after hearing Boss Zheng and Brother Yun's words, he became even more nervous.
Even Boss Zheng only had a greater chance of making him not die … Wasn't it still possible for him to die?
It was simply too f * cking scary.
What did he do? He just ate a prawn. Was there a need to be like this?
Liu Xuzhi's nose and eyes were twisted together, and his expression was a little gloomy.
"It's good that you know how to be afraid. Don't perform 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. There are some questions I'll tell you face to face," Zheng Ren said. "Think about it carefully when you go back. Surgery not only requires constant practice, but you also have to use your brain to think. "
As he said that, Zheng Ren pointed his finger at his head.
Liu Xuzhi nodded, indicating that he knew.
"The kind that's polished by surgery is like a carpenter. You can only be skilled and sell it. Use your brain to think about it. Forget it. Anyway, I don't think your talent points are on this. Even if you learn it, you won't be able to learn it, "Su Yun said casually.
Liu Xuzhi had long had a strong immunity to Su Yun's words.
When he was in Pengxi Village, he had heard Brother Yun say similar words many times. It was not only him. Even Professor Mu of Shenzhen City was scolded by Brother Yun to the point that he did not even say the last sentence.
Liu Xuzhi grinned and stood up. Seeing that the next patient was sent up, he helped arrange the position. Zheng Ren went to wash his hands, put on his clothes, and then began the surgery.
Su Yun crossed his legs and lazily slumped in his seat. He said to Lin Jiaojiao, "Sister Lin, Old Liu's skin is tough, right?"
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Yes."
"I know you're wondering why the boss and I didn't come. Although you didn't say it, you're still a little uncomfortable."
Lin Jiaojiao was stunned. Was Brother Yun going to show his cards and fall out?
"That's because you don't know how awesome a person who can perform TIPS surgery is," Su Yun said.
Lin Jiaojiao carefully pondered over Su Yun's words.
In the past, when she was in the 912, Chief Kong was the first to carry out TIPS surgery. She still clearly remembered that Chief Kong performed the first surgery for at least five hours.
When he finally came down, there were already symptoms of hypoglycemia. It was she who opened a bottle of 10% glucose and gave it to Chief Kong to drink.
High tension, anxiety from repeated unsuccessful punctures, and wearing a lead apron that weighed dozens of kilograms to perform the surgery were all the main reasons for hypoglycemia.
How could she not know the difficulty of TIPS surgery? Not to mention more than ten years ago, even now, there were not many surgeons who could succeed in one needle puncture.
However, when she thought of this, Lin Jiaojiao was suddenly stunned. She understood what Su Yun meant.
