Shu Rou looked at Ding Kang's medical records over and over again.
People can lie, but medical data will never lie.
Generally speaking, after major surgery, patients will be given nutritional solutions because their bodies have consumed a lot of energy and have not eaten for a long time.
But Ding Kang's vital signs told the medical workers that his physical signs were very stable, his blood sugar was also very stable, and he did not need nutritional fluid at all.
Why does this happen?
Shu Rou also encountered this situation for the first time. She couldn't make up her mind and had no choice but to go to Qu Ping.
Qu Ping immediately summoned Huang Ling, Shu Rou and related experts for a joint consultation.
"How long has this situation been going on?" Qu Ping asked Ding Kang's attending doctor and nurse in charge while looking at the patient's relevant information.
Because the attending doctor has to take care of many patients, he may not necessarily understand every patient's condition very well.
The opportunity to speak was given to Liu Wei.
Liu Wei was very familiar with Ding Kang's situation. He immediately replied: "We completed the operation at 7 o'clock yesterday morning. From 7 o'clock yesterday morning to now, we only gave some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs and electrolytes."
"The patient's current vital signs are normal, and his blood sugar is also normal."
Qu Ping frowned and asked, "Weren't you given nutrient solution?"
Liu Wei answered seriously: "Because the patient was found to have diabetes when he was admitted to the hospital for examination, and his blood sugar control was not very good, so we will test the patient's blood sugar indicators in advance when giving nutritional solutions."
"However, after several tests, the patient's blood sugar concentration was normal, there was no hypoglycemia, and other biochemical indicators of the body were relatively normal, and we did not give him any nutritional solution."
This situation is quite strange.
Qu Ping smiled, feeling a little ridiculous and said: "You mean, this patient can maintain vital signs even if he doesn't need to eat or replenish energy, just by ensuring the balance of water and electrolytes?"
"And when he was admitted to the hospital for examination, the patient's blood sugar was extremely abnormal. Now after the operation, the patient's blood sugar has returned to normal?"
Qu Ping thought this matter was a bit ridiculous, "What an international joke!"
At this time, Ding Kang's family members were also in the ward and vaguely heard what the experts were talking about.
The family members did not understand some complicated medical terminology, but they understood the content related to blood sugar indicators.
Ding Kang's wife couldn't help but interjected: "Teachers and experts, I just heard you say, is my husband's blood sugar normal after the operation?"
Liu Wei nodded and said, "Yes, judging from the current situation, the blood sugar concentration is normal."
Ding Kang's wife said excitedly: "My old man has been suffering from diabetes for almost 30 years. In recent years, his blood sugar has become increasingly difficult to control. Now his blood sugar has returned to normal. This is a good thing. There is nothing to worry about."
!”
That's what I say, but whether it's medicine or science, logic must be emphasized.
A patient with diabetes for more than 30 years underwent a lung operation that had little to do with the immune system. After the operation, his blood sugar concentration returned to normal. This is the biggest problem!
Qu Ping could only explain to the woman in detail.
"It is definitely a good thing that blood sugar has returned to normal, but for a patient who has been diabetic for more than 30 years and whose blood sugar was quite unstable before surgery, why did it suddenly return to normal? We need to have a deeper understanding."
"And we also need to find out what is the principle that causes normal blood sugar and whether it is harmful to the body."
Ding Kang's wife couldn't control that much, and said very happily: "I didn't expect that at the lung disease treatment center, my husband's lung disease was not only cured, but his blood sugar was also under control! This is really great!"
Ding Kang's wife Wang Fen also excitedly took a photo of her husband lying on the hospital bed and sent a casual message.
This move made Qu Ping feel a little ashamed.
As expected, don’t panic when something happens, just let me know first.
The actions of the patient's family are the private actions of the patient's family.
Qu Ping will definitely not stop caring about this matter just because the patient's blood sugar has returned to normal.
Her team needs to understand why.
The next three days.
In addition to helping Ding Kang recover from the surgical wound normally, the most important thing for the medical team is to understand the principle of returning blood sugar to normal.
Three days later, after detailed inspection, medical staff finally found some clues.
When Liu Wei reported his work to Qu Ping, he said: "It is very likely that the living space of the joint colony is not stable, and there has been material exchange with the patient's blood, including metabolites, etc., which have entered the patient's blood, so
That’s what happens.”
The location for combined colony transplantation must be a place with a rich blood system.
Because in places where the blood system is relatively rich, the hemoglobin in the blood can fully exchange gas with the oxygen of the bacterial colonies.
Only in this way can the body's demand for oxygen be supplied.
However, in the design of combined colony therapy, the exchange between the combined colonies and blood is limited to gas exchange.
After the human body completes aerobic respiration, a large amount of carbon dioxide is transported through the plasma.
In combined colony transplant surgery, the living environment of the colony and the blood are separated by a polymer membrane, and there is a small electric pump in this space.
This ensures that gases can pass through the polymer membrane, but blood and solid and liquid metabolites of combined colonies cannot pass through the polymer membrane.
If the bacterial colony is transplanted into the lower abdominal omentum tissue or the large intestine (where the blood system is relatively rich), then the metabolic products of the combined bacterial colony will directly enter the large intestine and be excreted.
If it is on the scalp or other parts of the body, there will be a separate excretion pipeline for metabolites, which will be buried under the skin, and finally there will be an outlet hidden by clothes.
The discharge outlet needs to be cleaned regularly.
That is, no matter where in the body the combined colonies are transplanted.
Metabolites of bacterial colonies, other than oxygen, will not enter the blood system.
But the medical team found out about Ding Kang's body for some reasons.
It may be due to Ding Kang's physical function, or it may be that the relevant framework space was not set up properly during the operation.
Therefore, the metabolites of the bacterial colony can be completely integrated with the blood.
Among the metabolites, except for some waste products, most of the metabolites are energy substances needed by the human body and a very special peptide hormone.
The medical team is analyzing in detail what kind of substance this type of peptide hormone is?
It was eventually discovered that this type of peptide hormone is almost identical to the insulin produced by the human body.
Moreover, the medical team made a very surprising discovery.
The metabolites of the combined bacterial colonies will self-regulate according to some chemical indicators in the blood.
From a biological perspective, this is a joint colony. In order to adapt to the blood environment as quickly as possible, it will adjust itself according to the blood environment.
After adjustment, the dosage of some metabolites produced by the combined bacterial colonies is exactly what the human body needs.
Now all the mysteries have been revealed.
The combined colony completes its own metabolism through externally supplied culture fluid, carbon dioxide in the blood, and other substances.
The metabolites of the combined bacterial colonies, such as some proteins, carbohydrates, etc., are necessary for the human body and can ensure the basic functions of the human body.
In addition, the combined colonies can also metabolize some peptide hormones.
This type of peptide hormone with complex compounds is a kind of protein, and its composition is almost identical to that of insulin.
Under the regulation of this type of metabolites, the blood glucose concentration can ensure basic stability.
This series of major discoveries shocked the entire medical team.
what does that mean?
This means that patients who have completed combined colony transplantation can maintain vital signs without eating if there is sufficient supply of water and culture fluid.
According to the current medical technology of Changtian Technology, as well as some characteristics of the combined colony.
The nutrient solution for the combined colonies is only added once a month.
It can be said that humans who have completed combined colony transplantation do not need to eat for a month.
This is unique in human history!
What else does such a discovery mean?
It also means that diabetes may be completely cured.
It does not mean that the pancreas can be replaced in diabetic patients.
Instead, transplantation of combined bacterial colonies is also performed on diabetic patients.
After all, the combined bacterial colony can self-regulate through some characteristics of the blood and secrete peptide hormones (insulin) with different concentrations.
This mechanism of action is the same as the human pancreas intelligently secreting insulin through the body's blood sugar indicators.
This is much more effective than taking sugar control drugs or insulin injections.
Because blood sugar is a dynamic indicator, not a fixed indicator.
The medical insulin in the medicine has a certain dose, and this dose may not match your body's current blood sugar level.
Sometimes a few more doses may be given, and sometimes a few doses may be taken less.
After all, patients cannot monitor their blood sugar with a device every minute and every second, 24 hours a day.
When the blood sugar concentration reaches a high level, make a loud noise and give an injection of insulin.
Seeing that the blood sugar level had dropped, I quickly took out a candy from my bag and stuffed it into my mouth.
If blood sugar is in an abnormal state for a long time, it will cause serious damage to the entire body.
This is the principle behind the complications of diabetes.
However, if we rely on the combined bacterial colony to adjust metabolic secretion products through stress response every moment, we can adjust the body's blood sugar indicators.
Then whether you are a diabetic or not, your blood sugar concentration can be guaranteed to be at a healthy level at all times.
This is definitely a major discovery in the medical field.
It may even become the best way to cure diabetes.
Qu Ping did not expect that while treating the patient's lung disease, there would be such an unexpected joy!
But just when Qu Ping was writing a report excitedly and preparing to report the relevant situation to Chen Xiao.
Shu Rou and the others brought some bad news.
Because studies on the combined colonies of other patients have found whether the combined colonies of other patients have this function.
Although there may be metabolites that are beneficial to human energy and health, there are no peptide hormones.
In other words, the bacterial colonies on Ding Kang's body are likely to have undergone a certain degree of mutation or evolution.
If this is the case, then Changtian Technology must take immediate measures.
Qu Ping did not dare to delay and immediately reported the matter to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao is currently supervising the production of 65-nanometer lithography machines in Shanghai.
The production of optical technology is indeed a very difficult matter.
In particular, everything from raw materials to equipment must be independently developed, designed, and produced by Changtian Technology.
The whole process is quite difficult.
After Chen Xiao received Qu Ping's call and encrypted email.
My heart suddenly jumped, but my facial expression was calm.
When the biotechnology tree was lit, some of the instructions at the microbial level mentioned the metabolites of microorganisms.
It’s just that Chen Xiao only paid attention to the treatment of lung diseases at the beginning and did not pay attention to other contents.
Now when he heard what Qu Ping said, his first reaction was that under special conditions, the bacterial colonies should have evolved to a certain extent, and this purification would make the bacterial colonies more adaptable to the human body's environment.
Chen Xiao immediately checked his technology panel.
You discovered a surprising fact.
Expand Medical Biology.
He discovered [Microorganisms (LV3)].
In other words, the level of microbial technology has been upgraded from level one to level three without even realizing it.
And checking the upgrade information, it was only two days ago that I was upgraded to level three.
It seems that the joint colony evolution of the intensive care center occurred during the same time period.
This illustrates a problem.
It shows that after Chen Xiao repeatedly uses this technology, this technology will automatically upgrade.
The upgraded product is likely to be the evolved joint colony.
Chen Xiao also attaches great importance to this matter.
With the continuous changes in Xia's science, technology, economy and living conditions.
The incidence of diabetes has reached more than 8% among adults.
A rough estimate is that in the next ten years, the number of people suffering from diabetes will reach more than 300 million.
This is only the number of patients in Xia State.
Globally, this number will be even greater.
Diabetes is a chronic disease.
But as long as you don't control it well, it can cause great damage to your body.
Various diabetic complications can be fatal when they occur.
Diabetes is also a worldwide problem. Apart from taking hypoglycemic drugs and taking insulin, there is currently no good solution.
But if Chen Xiao can take advantage of this opportunity for colony evolution to develop a complete set of relevant treatments in detail.
That is not only an important and outstanding contribution to the history of human medicine, but also means a medical market worth trillions.
Chen Xiao immediately asked Qu Ping: "Is Ding Kang discharged from the hospital?"
Qu Ping replied: "It stands to reason that he should be discharged from the hospital today, but his situation is special, so we kept him."
Chen Xiao immediately gave the order: "The person will stay in the treatment center for the time being, and the bacterial colonies must be sampled. I will come right away."
