The appendix, also known as the vermiform, is a long, elongated, curved blind tube.

It is located in the lower right side of the abdomen, between the cecum and ileum, with the root attached to the posteromedial wall of the cecum, distally free and atresia.

The appendix of an adult, on average, is seven to nine centimeters long.

Appendicitis is caused when there is an obstruction or infection in the appendix.

About one in every 20 people suffer from appendicitis, a condition in which inflammation of the appendix causes severe pain in the abdomen.

If left unchecked, there is a risk of rupture of the appendix, which can be life-threatening in severe cases, and the main treatment is surgical removal of the appendix.

In the past, the appendix was once thought to be a vestigial remnant organ in the evolutionary process of humans.

It has no important physiological functions, is useless to the human body, and may have the hidden danger of appendicitis, and many families even perform appendectomy surgery on newborn babies.

However, modern medical research has shown that the appendix is not useless.

It plays some advantageous functions that people don't expect.

For example, modern medical research has shown that the appendix is rich in lymphoid tissue, which is involved in the body's immune function.

The lymphoid tissue of the appendix promotes the growth and reproduction of beneficial intestinal bacteria.

The results of this research mean that the appendix is not useless, but part of a larger and more complex human ecosystem.

Of course, people who have had their appendix removed due to appendicitis and other reasons do not need to worry.

Countless examples of surgery have also proved that removing the appendix will not have much negative impact on the human body.

After reading the information provided by Xiang Rong on the condition of this newborn baby with congenital esophageal occlusion, Lin Jie thought of a new use for this appendix.

The appendix can be used to splice the newly born baby with a failed occluded esophagus.

The outer diameter of the appendix of ordinary people is between 0.5 cm and 1 cm, and the inner diameter is even narrower, only about 0.2 cm when at rest.

However, the appendix cavity of infants and young children is funnel-shaped and has a wide base.

Therefore, the feces are easier to exit after entering the appendix cavity and are less likely to be blocked, so appendicitis is less common in infants and young children.

Therefore, the inner diameter of the appendix of infants and young children is still quite considerable, and the ductility of the appendix is also very good.

Most importantly, the inner wall of the appendix has a mucous membrane that secretes fluid, lubricates food well, and acts as a part of the esophagus.

Lin Jie thought again that the appendix has a complete internal ring muscle and external longitudinal muscle, with a certain length and diameter, and it seems that it can be used to transplant or splice some human body pipes.

For example, ureters, fallopian tubes, bile ducts, pancreatic ducts......

Seeing that Lin Jie was holding a document, maintaining his current posture motionless, and seemed to be in some kind of fugue state, Xiang Rong, who was experienced, immediately made a quiet gesture towards Jian Jia and Guan Muhua.

After that, the three of them all sat still, staring at Lin Jie with sparkling eyes in their eyes.

Half a time has passed.

At a certain moment in the following moment, they saw that Lin Jie's body suddenly moved, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and his godless eyes became bright again.

Xiang Rong saw that Lin Jie had regained his senses, and asked eagerly: "Expert Lin, have you thought of any genius ideas again?"

Lin Jie said humbly: "How can there be so many genius ideas!"

"I just thought of a little bit of the surgical idea of autologous organ transplantation, and I had to use tests and surgery to verify the possibility. ”

Xiang Rong also understands that before the research results are confirmed, the necessary confidentiality must be required.

He didn't continue to ask, and asked: "Expert Lin, I don't ask you about the inspiration you just had, but when your research results come out, the paper will definitely be published in Clinical Medicine." ”

Lin Jie nodded and said, "There is no problem with this. ”

After receiving Lin Jie's promise, Xiang Rong was a lot relieved, and asked again: "Expert Lin, this baby?"

Lin Jie handed the medical records in his hand to Jian Jia and said, "This baby's body is too weak, weighing only a little more than three kilograms, and then undergoing the second operation, it will be a big burden for him, and he may not be able to bear it." ”

"Editor-in-Chief Xiang, you tell the baby's parents to raise the child's weight to four kilograms, and then come to the affiliated hospital to find me. ”

"It just so happens that I'm going to Germany for a trip and won't be back until next week. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Jie picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, just frowned, and said with some doubts: "Hey, why did this tea suddenly become cold......

Jian Jia hurriedly got up, and while changing the water and pouring tea for Lin Jie, she said excitedly: "Doctor Lin, more than half an hour has passed. I always thought that all the epiphany, selflessness and selflessness written in it were all fiction. ”

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen in front of my eyes. ”

"Doctor Lin, you have just entered the realm of selflessness. ”

"You're amazing, I adore you so much. ”

Lin Jie knew in his heart that the thinking he had just put into it took a long time.

He took a sip of hot tea and smiled casually, "What's amazing?"

"I didn't change my power like in the middle, and I didn't mutate into a Super Saiyan or anything. I'm still me, just thinking about a problem. ”

"But you've definitely come up with a genius idea that can benefit a lot of patients. ”

Xiang Rong also said with some excitement: "I'm looking forward to seeing your research results from Expert Lin." This is the inspiration that was born under my own eyes, and it is very meaningful. ”

Lin Jie explained: "Editor-in-chief Xiang, don't expect so much. I actually just thought of a topic for my master's thesis. ”

Xiang Rong didn't believe it at all, and insisted: "Produced by Expert Lin, it must be a high-quality product!"

Seeing him like this, Lin Jie didn't bother to continue explaining.

After lunch, Xiang Rong also completed the interview, and got Lin Jie's permission to take over the operation, and he left happily.

As soon as he returned to the office, Lin Jie asked Jian Jia to call Fang Hanrui, Lu Xiaoyu, Wei Hongyang and the other three people, and asked them to come to the office at a convenient time in the afternoon.

Ten minutes later, Fang Hanrui was the first to rush in.

"Teacher, I'm always ready, here. ”

"You have any important tasks, complex tasks, and I promise you to do it perfectly, despite your orders. ”

Lin Jie looked at Fang Hanrui, who kept panting, his chest was rising and falling, and his cheeks were bright red, and asked funny: "Running all the way?"

"Of course. ”

Fang Hanrui said with grievances: "During this time, the patients you have taken over are either cranial nerves or orthopedic patients, and we students in the field of general surgery are in a hurry." ”

"This time, I heard from Assistant Jian that Mr. Lin, you also summoned Senior Sister Lu and Senior Brother Wei. They're just like me, but they're all outsiders. ”

"Hehe, teacher, this time, you must be picking up a general patient, right?"

Lin Jie didn't respond directly, but asked, "Have you ever written anything like a project application report before?"

Fang Hanrui nodded and said, "I wrote it." I wrote it when I applied for the project, and I also wrote it for my father. ”

"Teacher, do you have a new research topic?"

Lin Jie smiled: "Sort of, small topic, good for writing my master's thesis." ”

Next, he took over a newborn baby with congenital esophageal occlusion, and prepared to use the appendix for treatment, and at the same time, he also used the appendix to replace or splice some ureters, fallopian tubes, bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, etc., and the concept of treating corresponding diseases, and roughly told Fang Hanrui about the idea.

Fang Hanrui had been listening silently, but her eyes were getting wider and wider, and her breathing became shorter, "...... Groove ...... It's a real possibility. ”

After bursting out a few foul words one after another, she said excitedly: "Teacher, how did you come up with this idea? I have always felt that the appendix is a pity to be abandoned. ”

"After being reminded by you, teacher, it turns out that it can still play so many roles. ”

"It can be said that it is a spare part for organ transplantation that comes with the human body. ”

Lin Jie said a little smugly: "I have thought carefully about the idea of using this appendix transplant for him, and it is theoretically feasible. What is needed now is animal testing and human testing. ”

"You write a project application report for me and apply for the support fund of the 'Hundred Talents Program' scientific research project of the Health Commission. ”

"Also, you lead Lu Xiaoyu and Wei Hongyang to start animal testing first, and when I come back from Germany, I will decide whether to conduct human trials according to the results of animal experiments. ”

Fang Hanrui came to stand up in a funny way, saluted the army, and shouted: "Teacher, promise to complete the task!"

Lin Jie looked at her and asked funny: "You are extremely active and excited today, is there anything good happening?"

"Are you in love?"

"What's the matter, I've been waiting, God dropped a boyfriend for me!"

Fang Hanrui smiled and explained: "I was mainly stimulated by your research project, and I can finally show my skills under the guidance of you, teacher!"

Lin Jie looked at her a few times in disbelief, and said, "If you don't want to say it, I won't ask." ”

"Let me remind you, you must have heard my words from Xiao Ganghao. ”

"I'm only in charge of your medical problems, don't bother me with other personal matters. ”

Fang Hanrui said with a hippie smile: "How dare we have the courage to bother you with personal matters." However, if you have a difficult problem that you can't handle on your own, you can always ask the teacher for help, right?"

Lin Jie snorted coldly and threw her a pair of white eyes directly.

At this time, Lu Xiaoyu and Wei Hongyang also arrived.

Lin Jie briefly told the two of them about the idea of using the appendix in multiple ways, and instructed them to assist Fang Hanrui in completing animal testing during this time......

In the evening, when Lin Jie was about to go home, he unexpectedly ushered in the visiting Sloefel.

Seeing his dusty appearance, Lin Jie quipped: "What important patient made you fly halfway around the world to come to me? It can't be the president of the United States, right?"

Sloefel said softly: "Expert Lin, I flew here this time as a lobbyist. ”
