Chapter 543: Good or Bad Blood Donation, and the Uses of Grapefruit Blood Type
Seeing everyone like this, He Jincheng stopped hiding it and slowly explained his understanding of massive bleeding to Xue Zhengxin and his two apprentices.
First of all, major bleeding is a serious matter in both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
Western medicine summarizes the following points on excessive blood loss.
When a patient loses too much blood, in order to ensure the blood supply to important organs, peripheral small blood vessels will shrink excessively. At this time, the blood supply to the skin will be reduced, causing the patient to appear pale.
In addition, in order to ensure the blood supply to the brain, lungs and other important organs, the body will secrete a large amount of adrenaline and other substances to compensate by increasing the heart rate. At this time, the patient will have symptoms of palpitation.
In patients with excessive blood loss, due to large amounts of blood loss, the blood filling volume in the blood vessels will also be significantly reduced. At this time, the patient will have symptoms of lowered blood pressure, even reaching below 90/60mmHg, and hemorrhagic shock will occur.
In addition, common symptoms of excessive blood loss include oliguria, clammy skin, etc.
Under normal circumstances, timely medical treatment is required, and treatment through rehydration, blood transfusion, etc. according to the doctor's instructions can avoid life-threatening situations.
In terms of traditional Chinese medicine, if you want to understand excessive blood loss, you must first understand the traditional Chinese medicine understanding of blood.
First of all, Chinese medicine believes that the internal organs rely on Yang Qi to function properly.
What is the function of Yang Qi?
Yang Qi has the functions of warming, fixation, nutrition, gasification, promotion and defense.
Therefore, the Nei Jing says that Yang Qi is like the sky and the sun. If it loses its place, life will be shortened and it will not flourish. This means that Yang Qi is like the sun. If the sun is lost, you can think about the consequences.
Yang Qi comes from the digestion and absorption of food by the spleen and stomach. When there is excess Yang Qi, it is stored in the kidneys.
When the spleen and stomach eat too much cold food, resulting in insufficient yang energy in the spleen and stomach. The spleen is the foundation of acquired life and the source of qi and blood biochemistry. Now the spleen and stomach are damaged, and the function of the spleen and stomach in transforming qi and blood is reduced, so it will cause qi and blood deficiency.
The spleen governs the blood. The so-called "unification" means to control and manage the normal operation of the blood.
Deficiency of the spleen, weak Yang Qi, decreased function of the spleen in controlling blood, insufficient Yang Qi, loss of Yang Qi in the fixed control, and loss of blood in the unified control, overflowing outside the veins, thus causing a large amount of blood loss and causing metrorrhagia.
For example, blood is water, and Yang Qi is a water pipe. If the water pipe breaks, water will overflow at the break.
It is recorded in the book "Jingyue Complete Book" written by Zhang Jingyue of the Ming Dynasty that "tangible blood cannot be produced quickly, but invisible energy must be urgently consolidated."
Qi is invisible and invisible, but blood is tangible and visible. When treating heavy bleeding, you must first replenish Yang Qi to restore the fixation effect of Qi, that is, replenish the water pipe.
Nowadays, many of us encourage everyone to donate blood, but according to traditional Chinese medicine, blood donation is not beneficial to people.
The heart governs the blood vessels, and sweat is the fluid of the heart. Sweat and blood come from the same source, which means that blood is the fluid of the heart. If you lose too much blood, your heart will definitely be injured.
Blood, sweat, tears, and semen are all fluids in the human body. They all come from diet. When the same diet is converted into water, does it consume the same amount of energy in the body as when it is converted into blood? That must be the case.
It's different, so donating blood is actually not good for people.
Of course, proper blood donation will cause losses to our body, but as long as we take supplements normally, the losses can be made up for quickly.
The current blood transfusion method of Western medicine has indeed saved the lives of many patients, so if possible, we still encourage everyone to actively donate blood. After all, if you donate blood once, you may save a life.
Moreover, because some special blood types are very rare, there may be only one case among millions or even tens of millions of people. Such a person can often save many people.
In reality, there is a disease called rhesus syndrome.
This disease was born out of the rare blood type Rh blood type.
Generally speaking, if a mother's blood type is Rh-negative and the father's blood type is Rh-positive, then after the mother gives birth to her first child, Rh-positive blood antibodies will appear in her body.
If the couple still wants a child at this time, there is a high probability that the child will develop hemolytic disease of the newborn, which means that the second child is likely to get the disease.
Because the newborn will inherit the father's Rh-positive blood, the mother will attack the child's positive blood cells because she has antibodies from the positive blood, causing the child to develop symptoms of hemolysis.
The harm of hemolysis is really too great. The onset of acute hemolysis is sudden, and a large amount of hemolysis in a short period of time can cause chills, fever, headache, vomiting, pain in the limbs, back, and abdominal pain, followed by hemoglobinuria. In severe cases, acute renal failure can occur.
Peripheral circulatory failure or shock. This is followed by jaundice, paleness, and other signs and symptoms of severe anemia.
There are many causes of hemolytic disease in newborns, most of which are caused by inappropriate ABO blood types. Different causes have different symptoms, but the most serious one is Rh type hemolytic disease. The anemia will be more serious and even accompanied by heart failure.
, in serious cases it can even be life-threatening.
There is such a man in the world whose blood contains a magical antibody that can treat neonatal hemolytic disease. Harrison did not know that he had this magical blood at first, but he learned about it during a blood donation.
.
Harrison suffered from a serious lung disease when he was a teenager. This lung disease required him to undergo a lobectomy, but because his condition was so bad, it caused bleeding.
The doctor gave him nearly 6 liters of blood. After Harrison woke up and learned about this, he was very grateful to those who provided him with blood. Without them, he might have died during the operation.
Harrison also wanted to help others. Under the influence of this incident, Harrison began donating blood, hoping that he could also help those who were sick.
A few days after donating blood for the first time, the doctor called him and told him that his blood contained an antibody that could synthesize a drug called Anti-D. This drug could be used to treat neonatal hemolytic disease. At that time, Australia
In China, thousands of babies died due to hemolysis.
He began to cooperate with doctors to develop this vaccine. In 1966, the vaccine was successfully developed.
But the production of this vaccine requires special antibodies in Harrison's blood.
Harrison began to donate blood continuously. From his youth to his old age, he donated blood 1,173 times in 60 years. The antibodies extracted from his body were made into Anti-D injections, saving the lives of one baby after another.
According to statistics, the antibodies extracted from his blood have saved 2.4 million babies. Vaccines made from his blood will be injected into mothers, which will allow them to give birth to healthy babies, which greatly protects the babies.
