Yuezhou Hospital will conduct two organ transplant teaching operations.
The liver transplant surgery was performed by doctors Xie Liping and Gao Li from Yuezhou Hospital, while the kidney transplant surgery was performed by doctors Pan Mingming and Lin Zijian from Margaret Hospital.
These four doctors have just returned from further studies at the Mayo Clinic. They are obviously the future business and technical backbones identified by the two hospitals to take the lead this time.
If the four young doctors who performed the surgery were not famous enough, then the instructors were all from big names. They were all from the Mayo Clinic and were members of the World Organ Transplantation Association.
The instructor for liver transplants is Dr. Russell Clyde, and the instructor for kidney transplants is Dr. Christie Butz.
In the medical field, these two are well-known surgeons, and this time they were mainly fooled by Chen Xia.
Since American doctor Joseph Murray performed the first successful kidney transplant in 1954 and Dr. Donald Thomas performed the first bone marrow transplant in 1956.
This emerging revolutionary medical technology has been quickly accepted and welcomed by doctors around the world.
The so-called organ transplantation refers to transplanting a healthy organ into the patient's body to replace the diseased organ that has lost its function due to fatal damage, so that the corresponding organ function of the transplanted patient can return to normal.
This allows patients with serious illnesses who are in critical condition and have not responded to conservative medical treatment to be reborn, which is of great significance to human development.
But this type of surgery is extremely difficult. It was only 1988, and it was a highly advanced surgery, not to mention in China, even in the United States.
In fact, China has been carrying out organ transplant surgery for a very long time. The most famous one was Kang Youwei, the big liar who even fooled the emperor to death in the late Qing Dynasty.
The old man was incompetent in governing the country, but was a master at deceiving people. He played Guangxu in the palm of his hand and boasted too much. In the end, he even wanted to kill the old woman Cixi, but ended up causing Guangxu to be killed in return.
Although his political life was a mess, Guangxu and overseas Chinese gave him huge amounts of money in order to support his reforms.
As a result, the money was not used to save the country, but instead went into his own pocket, making him a famous rich man.
What to do when you have money? Of course, play with women, and Kang Youwei is an expert in this field.
On the one hand, he advocated monogamy, but on the other hand, he quietly married six concubines.
The second concubine married Kang Youwei, who was 43 at the time, at the age of 18. Later, he married the third concubine, who was 17, the fourth concubine, who was 16, and the fifth concubine, who was 17.
The most shameful thing is that when he was 62 years old, he forcibly married a 19-year-old boatman girl.
(Are male readers ashamed or envious?)
If a woman plays too much and gets older, her strength won’t allow it anymore.
Kang Youwei became anxious. Later, he heard that foreign doctors could perform transplant surgery and give him a new lease of life, so he started to have some evil ideas.
what to do?
He was very smart. When he saw the gorilla's thing, he found it was even more exaggerated than that of the black uncle. He understood it at first sight, so he went to Germany alone to undergo a "testicle transplant operation".
For a period of time after the operation, Kang Youwei really felt that he had regained his youthful vitality.
But soon after, he began to show various physical discomforts, and eventually died of bleeding from all seven orifices in his own apartment in Qingdao, Shandong the following year.
As a pioneer in organ transplantation, we should respect Mr. Kang Youwei's fearless spirit of sacrificing himself for the development of medicine.
But as Chinese people, we should despise such stupid, despicable and dirty liars.
Wait, that’s getting off topic.
Organ transplantation was not widely used in the 1970s and 1980s for two main reasons:
1. The supply of donor organs exceeds the demand, and voluntary organ donation has not yet become a social public good.
After all, there are too few people who voluntarily donate their organs.
Especially in China, there is a tradition of keeping the body intact after death, which even became a gift during the feudal dynasty.
2. After organ transplantation, the recipient's body rejects the foreign organ with its immune system.
Even if you find a suitable donor and the surgery is successfully performed on you, most people will not be able to overcome the postoperative immune rejection.
If this stage is not passed, the patient will die immediately and the operation will be classified as a failure.
Even in Europe and the United States, where medical care was most developed at the time, there was a lack of relevant drugs, which became the biggest obstacle to organ transplant surgery.
But for Chen Xia, who was reborn with the hospital, could this still be considered a big problem? There were quite a lot of drugs for this purpose in his space hospital.
For example, cyclosporine, mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus, Prograf, Rapamune, Sispin, sirolimus, etc., when used together with adrenal corticosteroids, the effect is great.
How did Christie Boots and Russell Clyde, two big names in the organ transplant industry, get tricked into coming to China?
It was Chen Xia who took the initiative to suggest that the Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company had recently developed several immunosuppressants for the treatment of rejection reactions.
Now, pumpkin vine is a well-known mysterious thing in the medical community all over the world. It has invented one drug after another, and has never failed. There is no doubt about its credibility.
Christie Boots and Russell Clyde, pure technology geeks, brought their own food when they heard that China had invented related drugs, and couldn't wait to rush to China to try them out.
So Chen Xia organized these two organ transplant teaching operations.
We have been developing the internal medicine system before, and now the surgical system must also keep up with the development. A hospital that is only specialized in one department cannot become a first-class hospital.
The news that Yuezhou Hospital was going to conduct a double-handed teaching operation, with the personal participation of two Mayo Clinic bosses, and try out the latest immune preparations to treat rejection reactions quickly spread throughout the Chinese and Hong Kong medical circles.
Later, even relevant experts from many hospitals in Europe, America, Japan and other countries wanted to participate, and they volunteered to rush to Yuezhou without stopping.
This brought the number of doctors who signed up to watch the operation live to over 200.
My God, these 200 doctors are experts in the field of surgery from various countries. Basically all members of the International Society for Organ Transplantation are present.
It’s almost like we’ve started another academic forum on national ball sports.
Deputy Minister Zou of the Ministry of Health was extremely excited and immediately instructed Zhijiang Medical University and Yuezhou Hospital to seize this opportunity to build momentum and let doctors around the world see the level of medical care in China.
How could Chen Xia miss this opportunity? Since everyone is here, he will catch them all in one fell swoop.
So he immediately instructed Zheng Haisheng to prepare all the drug information and hold an international academic conference to officially release the catalog of these immune preparations.
(Ahem, you can also understand this as another product promotion conference.)
