Chapter 490 The corpse of unknown origin(1/2)
"Mick Skin Grafting" sounds like a foreign name, and it was obviously named by a Western doctor.
Now that the invention and naming rights belong to Chen Qi, Chen Qi naturally wants to make a fool of himself.
"stinky tofu skin grafting" is translated into English as: "stinky tofu skin grafting". Such a name with oriental characteristics, you can tell at a glance that it was invented by the Chinese.
How about promoting our country’s prestige?
Although Qi Yunming was dissatisfied with the name, his interest greatly increased when he heard Chen Qi say that this was his latest skin grafting technique.
There is already a parasite project, and it is cooperating with the Mayo Clinic. The previous reports have caused a sensation in China.
After all, cooperating with Mayo is the first such breakthrough in China, and it comes from a foreign aid medical group. This is a great political achievement.
If the Foreign Aid Medical Corps invents a brand new skin grafting surgery technology, then this achievement will be doubled. It is possible that Deputy Director Qi will be promoted directly to Deputy Director, not to mention Director.
"Hey, what do you mean by this stinky tofu skin grafting technique? Did you really invent it?"
"Of course, I didn't invent it. I dare to name it. Isn't this an international joke?"
"Haha, okay, you can just invent it. You are such a genius. You know all kinds of surgeries. When are you going to operate on Commander Teodoro?"
Chen Qi put down his pen and rubbed his eyebrows: "Don't worry, I have to try to make a few more."
Qi Yunming vomited blood when he heard this: "You don't know how to make love yourself. Isn't this too casual?"
Chen Qi was a little embarrassed: "It's okay, it's okay. I know everything about medicine. Believe me, I'm an international double director after all, haha, hahaha."
Chen Qi knows the steps of the operation and understands the principles, but he has never been a doctor in his two lifetimes and has never performed this kind of Mick skin grafting surgery.
In order to be responsible for the patient, he could not conduct experiments on the Roasted Duck Commander-in-Chief right from the start. As long as there is surgery, there are risks. Who can guarantee it 100%?
You must know that there is not much normal skin left on the roast duck. Cutting off one piece is missing, which is very precious.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of various small animals in Africa.
Chen Qi spent the afternoon killing sheep, cows, chickens, zebras, and even a sick lion. Then he removed the skins of these animals according to surgical needs, and then tested the "expansion technology", but the results were inconsistent.
As expected.
There is still a big difference between animal skin and human skin.
The simplest difference is that human skin is divided into three major layers: epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis layer alone has 10-15 layers.
The skin thickness of ordinary animals is about 1/3 that of humans. Its skin epidermis has only 3-5 layers. It looks thick, but it is just hairy.
Chen Qi needs to take the patient's autologous skin and cut the skin into different thicknesses depending on the area that needs skin grafting and the severity of the burn.
For example, "blade-thickness skin graft" requires cutting off the epidermis and part of the papillary dermis. This is the thinnest kind of skin graft, with a thickness of about 0.2mm. This is the most common type of skin graft because it is very easy to transplant.
There are also "medium-thick skin grafts", which include 1/2-1/3 of the epidermis and dermis. In adults, the thickness ranges from 0.3 to 0.6 mm. Their elasticity and wear resistance are better than those of blade-thick skin grafts, and are suitable for
Joints, back of hands and other functional parts.
The last type is called "full-thickness skin graft". This is the thickest and is the full thickness of the skin. After survival, the color, elasticity and function are close to normal skin. It has good wear resistance and is suitable for wound repair on the palms, soles, face and neck.
.
The problem is that these three skin cutting methods, namely blade-thickness skin graft, medium-thickness skin graft, and full-thickness skin graft, cannot be tested on animals at all, and relevant experience cannot be obtained.
Chen Qi and several assistants tried for a long time but could not achieve the desired results. Now everyone started to worry again.
Yi Zewen looked at no one around him and said weakly:
"Dean Chen, the skin of these animals is not good at all. The thickness of the cut cannot be controlled, and the degree of expansion cannot be predicted. This is not good. It seems that we still have to use human subjects for experiments."
Zhang Xing was more timid and whispered:
"We are not in a domestic university, where can we find the source of corpses? Besides, the skin transplant experiment requires fresh skin, at least it must be freshly deceased. Corpses soaked in formalin are still useless.
."
When a person dies for too long, the cells in the skin become necrotic.
It's like a piece of white paper that you have kept for n years. It will break at the slightest touch, and there is no way to slowly expand the paper.
"Fresh corpse source?"
Chen Qi thought to himself, in this hellish place where we fight every day and fight to the death, are we afraid that there will be no fresh sources of corpses?
There are corpse sources, but the process of obtaining them would not be very humane. It would be even more inhumane to conduct skin grafting experiments on these "illegal" corpse sources.
This makes Chen Qi difficult.
In fact, this kind of problem is definitely not Chen Qi’s problem alone, but a common problem among doctors.
Whether it is scientific research or clinical transplant needs, medicine requires a large amount of human tissues and organs.
This gap is huge.
But on the other hand, whether at home or abroad, there are very few people who actively donate organs or donate their bodies after death.
This contradiction is particularly prominent in the country.
Since ancient times, the Chinese people have been particular about parents who do not dare to damage the body and skin of a parent. On the day of death, the body must be buried intact.
Even the father-in-law in ancient times knew that when he became prominent in the palace and had some money, he would do everything possible to buy his own balls from the guest room and bury them together in the coffin in the future.
You ask an ordinary person to donate a kidney? Donate a liver? Donate a bone marrow? You can’t say none, you can only say very few.
You must know that this world is not so upright and bright, and there are too many dark sides.
You are not being targeted, and you can live happily or not so happily, but at least you are still alive, and maybe many naive people will still feel that the world is bright.
But once you are successfully matched, the time bomb will explode at any time.
Maybe when you close your eyes, you will know whether the world is dark or light.
Just like in a foreign country, there was a famous liver surgery expert a few years ago. He published a paper, successfully performed more than 500 liver transplants in a year, and then submitted it.
In the end, it was refused publication by relevant international medical organizations and medical journals, and was condemned.
What is the reason for rejection?
The reason is that according to your own domestic public data, there are only more than 200 applications for voluntary liver donation a year. Could it be that you only have one doctor to use the country’s liver sources?
So where did the "liver source" for your more than 500 liver transplants come from?
Even if all the liver sources in the country are given to you by one doctor, there will be a difference of more than 300.
In addition, you only said that you have succeeded in more than 500 cases, but you still have unsuccessful cases, so more than 500 cases are not the real data, and maybe this data is still expanding.
The problem is that we have reached the point, and we can’t delve into it any further...
With the advancement of science and technology and the needs of medicine, this kind of contradiction will only become more and more frequent.
But from the perspective of a doctor, especially modern medicine, this clinical experiment is very much needed. You don’t have suitable human organs and you don’t have a large number of corpses. How can your medical technology improve?
From a patient's perspective, I have uremia, my liver has failed, I can't see, I'm about to die, and I urgently need a healthy organ to survive.
And you are a person who is about to eat peanuts. Anyway, you are scum, you are a beast, so using your waste is a great thing that benefits the country and the people, and it is also a great good thing in the end, isn't it?<
/p>
But from the perspective of a healthy person, just one sentence: Why?
(The above contents are all from foreign countries, hereby declare)
Chen Qi was very troubled, but this human experiment had to be done. He couldn't do it if he didn't do it. He didn't feel confident if he didn't do it, and he didn't dare to waste Commander Teodoro Z's poor healthy skin.
】
So he handed over the problem.
When Chief Raodo heard Chen Qi's troubles, he just smiled:
"Doctor Chen, how many people do you need? I will get them for you right now, as many as you need."
Chen Qi almost lost his temper after hearing this, and was so nervous that he waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, no, no, Mr. Chief, I don't want anyone alive, I can't, I can't do it like this."
Chief Raodo smiled nonchalantly at this time and said: "If we don't want living people, how many dead people will we need? Just tell us the number!"
Chen Qi broke into a cold sweat on his back, thinking to himself: Why don't these big African dog owners take human life seriously? Look at this attitude, they won't accept anyone alive, so how about killing a few of them?
Chen Qi still had a bottom line and refused again and again: "This, this, this, I'm afraid..."
Momberto, who had been silent next to him, suddenly interrupted:
"Dr. Chen, in fact, this problem is not difficult to solve. The fighting on the front line is fierce. We can definitely bring over the corpses of a few recently killed rebels. Anyway, these people killed countless people during their lives and will go to hell after their death.
There will definitely be no problem using their corpses for experiments."
Speaking of the rebels, Luciana's figure appeared in Chen Qi's mind again, so he gritted his teeth and nodded:
"Okay, then I want the corpse of the rebel, the kind that just died."
Teodoro was originally the commander-in-chief of the army, and it was as easy to pull a few prisoners from the front line for him as to catch a few chickens.
Chief Raodo quickly came to the office, picked up the phone and dialed:
"Yes, bring five rebels over, strangle them to death on the road, and deliver them within 30 minutes. I want them hot and fresh. Also, don't use guns. The bodies must be intact. Okay, bye."
