On the fourth day after the operation, Lankoping tried to stand up in the ward again. When the nurse went to help her, she said she wanted to try to stand up by herself.
She adjusted her body, took a deep breath, and the nurse helped fix the wheelchair. She really stood up from the wheelchair again, and her body's balance ability allowed her to stand firmly without falling.
In the past, she could not complete even this simple movement and had to rely on Fang Liu's help to stand up. Now she can stand up independently.
She tried to adapt her body to this standing posture. The nurse brought a walker and placed it in front of her. Although her hands were still trembling, they were obviously much lighter. She tried hard to grab the walker and took the first step.
Step one, step two, step three, and on the fourth step, under the protection of two nurses, she actually threw away the walker and successfully walked a few steps until she reached the door of the bathroom.
This kind of independent walking has undoubtedly given Lankoping a huge confidence. She has always dreamed of having this day, and now her dream has come true.
The nurse then checked Lankoping's finger-nose test. Lankoping could actually point to his nose very accurately several times.
When she was admitted to the hospital, she could not point to her nose.
The surgery was not only successful, it was very successful.
The neurosurgeon at Sanbo Hospital heard that the Institute of Surgery used surgery to treat penguin disease, so he ran here every day, hoping to learn from it. This was tantamount to opening up a new path for penguin disease. For Yang Ping, it was just a casual work, and he might not do it again in the future.
A lot of effort will be devoted to studying penguin diseases.
But it is different for neurosurgeons. They will study this surgical method, and maybe it can be studied as a long-term topic.
This was a successful symptomatic operation, and it was also based on a thorough analysis of the disease. If Yang Ping had not analyzed the disease thoroughly, it would not have been possible to come up with such a mature surgical plan.
The vast majority of hereditary cerebellospinal ataxias are caused by abnormal repeated expansion of the trinucleotide copy number of the corresponding gene exon to produce polyglutamine. Its pathological changes are neuronal cell loss and gliosis, containing
The mutated protein of polyglutamine is deposited in the nucleus to form intranuclear inclusion bodies, and the lesions are mainly located in the spinal cord, brainstem, and cerebellum.
So in the final analysis, there is something wrong with the nerve cells themselves, and there is currently no way for these problem-free nerve cells to change the status quo.
Even tapirelin, the only drug that can treat penguin disease, starts from the remaining normal nerve cells to increase the excitability of nerve cells and enhance their ability to regulate the motor system. In other words, the cells that can work are still those cells, but
Now that their combat capabilities have improved, and one can fight several of them, their combat effectiveness will naturally increase.
Yang Ping's surgical operation is the same. No matter what the pathological changes of penguin disease are, the compression of the cerebellum is an objective reality, and the poor blood supply to the cerebellum is also an objective reality. These will seriously affect the normal function of nerve cells in the cerebellum. Now we can solve it at hand.
The compression is eliminated, blood supply is improved, the blood supply and nutrition of normal nerve cells are improved, and the combat effectiveness is naturally greatly improved, so its ability to regulate movement will definitely be enhanced, and this effect is immediate.
This provides a new idea for the surgical treatment of penguin disease and gives countless penguin disease patients a glimmer of hope.
Yang Ping carefully summarized Lankoping's surgery. From the preoperative plan, intraoperative operations and postoperative changes, he analyzed every detail to see if there was anything that could be improved.
This idea of using surgery to act on a certain pathophysiological link can also be used for other diseases. Although it cannot completely cure the disease, it can act on a certain link to alleviate the symptoms of the disease and improve the patient's quality of life.
Having made a start by himself, Yang Ping hopes that neurosurgeons can continue to study, because his energy is limited now and there are too many things to study.

Lankoping's birthday also came, and the head nurse specially changed her into a private room, made some simple decorations in the ward, and bought her a small cake.
The fire brigade has already ordered a big cake. Everyone should be in a lively mood, and everyone will come over if they are not on duty.
However, due to a temporary emergency mission, a fire broke out in a factory warehouse. Fang Liu's detachment was closest to the fire and fell under their jurisdiction, so the brothers all went on the mission.
Lao Xiao also had to stick to his post as a logistics supporter. Only Lao Xiao's wife went to pick up the cake and came to the ward to celebrate Lankoping's birthday.
Of course Lankoping was not lonely. In addition to Lao Xiao's wife, there were also doctors and nurses celebrating her birthday with her, which moved her very much.
After everyone dispersed, Lan Xueping stood at the window. She could see billowing black smoke in the distance, which was probably where the fire started.
"Did Fang Liu go too?" Lan Xueping knew that Fang Liu was on vacation now.
Lao Xiao's wife nodded: "I heard from Lao Xiao that Fang Liu heard that all the brothers were on duty, so he also rushed to the scene. Don't worry, it's okay. They deal with fire every day. Everyone said that after putting out the fire,
Come back soon and I will blow out candles and eat cake with you in the evening."
Lao Xiao's wife comforted Lan Xueping. She believed that Lan Xueping was accustomed to these things. As a family member of a firefighter, he had to face this kind of worry almost every day.
At this time, the TV hanging on the wall happened to be showing the news, and a reporter was covering the scene.
Lan Xueping and Lao Xiao's wife sat down to watch the news. After all, their families were on the front line. Although Lao Xiao was not at the fire scene, he was still on the front line responsible for logistical support and dispatch.
The scene was in a mess, and someone was evacuating the surrounding people. Fire trucks arrived one after another, and groups of firefighters went to the battlefield to put out the fire. From the TV, it looked like the fire was very big, and it was possible that it would be extinguished quickly.
It is not very effective and can only temporarily block the spread of the fire, then evacuate the surrounding people, rescue the people trapped in the burning building, and extinguish the fire at the same time.
Lao Xiao's wife doesn't know the specific situation there. Lao Xiao made a phone call when he set out, but he hasn't called yet. He probably is too busy now.
It was not easy for Lao Xiao's wife to call and ask. In this situation, the two women couldn't be happy, so they just sat quietly in the ward watching the news, looking out the window from time to time, judging by the black smoke rising into the sky.
How is the fire going now?
In fact, Lankoping has become accustomed to it. Fang Liu is a firefighter, and a firefighter's job is to put out fires, but she still worries every time.
Sometimes when she hears news about a fire somewhere or hears the siren of a fire truck, she can't help but feel something in her heart.
