Chapter 49 Liver Casting Specimens
At 22:00 in the evening, in the anatomy classroom of the health school.
There is a slogan written on the wall: "Without anatomy, there is no surgery.--EnGs"
Under the dim electric light, Li Baotian and Chen Qi were cleaning the corpse of a man who had just been dead for less than five hours and had just arrived from the Pingshui execution ground in the cleaning pool.
The head of this corpse has blossomed and cannot be used, but other organs and tissues remain intact.
To make human specimens, you first need to clean the body from top to bottom, inside and out, and then remove the body hair.
At this time, the corpse was stiff, as straight as wood, and cold to the touch, which made cleaning difficult. For a corpse weighing more than 100 kilograms, it would be very heavy to turn over, okay?
Teacher Li had a day of classes during the day and worked for a long time after class. He was so tired that he could hardly stand up straight. He could only hold his waist with one hand and tap his back a few times with the other hand.
Chen Qi took a look and said quickly: "Teacher Li, go and have a rest. I can do it alone here."
"Okay then, I'll just sit next to you for a while. If you encounter anything you can't figure out, just call me."
Li Baotian stood up and twisted his waist, "I'll get a glass of water first."
After Teacher Li left, Chen Qi was the only one left in the entire dissecting room. Apart from the sound of the water faucet spraying, the only sound left was the sound of steam cooking in the coal stove outside the dissecting room.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about cooking a midnight snack, it’s about cooking dead human bones.
The bones collected by students from Wangqin Mountain cannot be used immediately in clinical practice. They all need to be disinfected.
There is no particularly good disinfection method these days. The simplest is to boil it in a large pot, which kills bacteria, viruses, molds and other bacteria on the surface of the bones at high temperature. At the same time, many bone marrow, tissue fluid, etc. are also cooked in this way.
Melt.
This is not bone soup at home, which can be solved in a few hours. The bones used to make human specimens need to be stewed for three days and three nights.
This requires Chen Qi to check it every few hours, add water when there is no water, and prevent the bones from being overcooked and becoming too hard or soft.
The cooked bones should be taken out to dry and then disinfected with alcohol again.
There are 10 large pots stewing bones against the wall. The scene is absolutely spectacular, but the smell is no longer the scent of bone soup, but the disgusting feeling of rotten soil.
Half a truckload of dead people's bones were enough to keep Chen Qi busy for a while.
There is no way, in order to make money, Chen Qi almost takes on all these trivial tasks by himself, which is quite hard.
In the past few days, he and Teacher Li also have an important task of making specimens, which is to make a "liver cast specimen".
Liver surgery is difficult. The difficulty lies in the rich blood supply. A slight touch may cause massive bleeding. But as long as you master the blood vessel distribution and anatomical structure inside the liver, liver surgery is no longer a restricted area.
However, it is still a bit difficult to preserve the complete shape of the blood vessels in the liver and display them in front of people.
At least for a third-tier small city in 1981, it was still relatively difficult for a health school. After all, it was just a technical secondary school.
Of course, high difficulty brings high profits. The subsidy for making a liver cast specimen is as high as 200 yuan.
When Chen Qi finished cleaning the body and prepared it for dissection, Li Baotian had also rested, returned to the dissection table, carried it and said:
"Chen Qi, this is a case where the liver has been completely removed. Come on, now is a very good opportunity. You can learn more and practice more on cadavers and master the anatomy of the major organs of the human body. This is equivalent to laying down solid basic skills. In the future, you will
It will be of great help during surgery."
Chen Qi really wanted to say that he had been a human in two lives and was a surgical dog in his previous life, so he had already memorized the anatomy of the human body.
But his current identity is just a student in a medical school. If he dares to brag like this, Teacher Li will probably ignore him tomorrow and think he is a braggart.
So Chen Qi nodded: "Teacher, please be optimistic. I promise I won't let you down, hehe."
What was in front of him was a corpse. There was no need for anesthesia or disinfection. Chen Qi took the scalpel and started to cut open the entire abdomen.
In less than half an hour, he removed a complete liver, without any damage or pause, and it was clean.
Li Baotian was so shocked that he was a little unbelievable:
"Chen Qi, you don't feel like a student at all to me, but like a doctor with many years of surgical experience. If I hadn't watched you grow up in school, I would have doubted where you were stealing from your teacher."<
/p>
Chen Qi flushed the liver with saline and said with a smile:
"So, I am determined to become a surgeon. I feel that this is what I do naturally. I will feel it as soon as I pick up the scalpel."
Li Baotian just thought the students were joking and laughed and cursed:
"Okay, don't be complacent. Liver removal is only the first step. Next, we need to perform liver casting. This is too difficult. The school has prepared a lot of perfusion materials for us. We have to test them one by one. It will probably take a long time.
It takes time to succeed."
Because it was difficult, the health school awarded a huge reward of 200 yuan.
In fact, liver cast specimens are not a new thing. They can also be purchased in foreign medical markets. However, the price of a specimen starts at tens of thousands of dollars, and they will not be purchased in China.
Changhai Hospital in Hudong City and the Digital Hospital in the capital also have homemade liver cast specimens, but their craftsmanship is kept secret, so you can buy them if you want. They charge several thousand yuan each, which is too cheating.
People kept it secret, but it was not difficult for Chen Qi in later generations.
Because he was familiar with "The Biography of Wu Mengchao" in his previous life, and one of the chapters decrypted the process of Professor Wu making the liver cast specimen.
To put it bluntly, the production process is very simple, and the filling materials can be found everywhere. There is no need for imported self-setting dental tray powder, ethyl acetate, dibutyl phthalate, etc.
At that time, Professor Xu Baoyi, a veteran surgeon in Shanghai, had already mastered the liver casting technology. When Wu Mengchao, who had just entered the profession, went to ask for advice, Mr. Xu refused to disclose the tools and materials.
Of course, this is understandable. It doesn’t make sense if you want to take it away for free after someone has worked so hard to develop it.
Facing the teacher’s doubts and warnings, Chen Xia didn’t take it seriously:
"Teacher Li, you are looking down on me, aren't you? In fact, I have quietly conducted relevant experiments a long time ago, but you have to keep it a secret. This process cannot be revealed. Maybe we can make some extra money from this in the future."
/p>
"Really or not? I found that you had a summer vacation and started talking nonsense. Last time you said you could sing English songs, but what the hell did you sing? I couldn't understand a word of it."
