There was a garbled code in the system before, which caused some small problems during the update, forgive me......

Blood type has long been thought to be innate, along with DNA, fingerprints, etc., and will stay with you throughout your life, but one patient found that his blood type had changed after a liver transplant.

We all know that when the blood type mismatch is transfused into the human body, the red blood cells will coagulate into clusters, this phenomenon is called agglutination, the red blood cells coagulated into clusters can block the capillaries, and the red blood cell agglutination is often accompanied by hemolysis, which will damage the renal tubules, and often accompanied by allergic reactions, which will be life-threatening in severe cases.

The essence of the occurrence of red blood cell agglutination is antigen- Antibody response, and according to the different specific antigens on red blood cells can be divided into different blood groups, among which the ABO blood group system we are familiar with is the most significant blood group system in clinical practice, although the ABO blood group system is fully understood and paid attention to, there are still some blood transfusion accidents in the clinic can not be explained, after in-depth research, the Rh blood group system was found, that is, the blood group in the human body is also negative and positive, but because the vast majority of people are positive, it has not been found and is often ignored.

According to research surveys, about 85% of Caucasians have Rh-positive blood types, and among all ethnic groups in China, about 99% of Rh-positive people are Rh-positive, but in some ethnic minorities, there are more Rh-negative people, such as 12.3% of Miao and 15.8% of Tatars. In view of all of the above, blood group is genetically determined and is generally considered immutable, and the identification of blood type is of great value to both forensic and anthropological research.

However, there was indeed a miracle of blood type change in the medical community, and now the girl should be 19 years old, and when she was 9 years old, her liver failed, but luckily she happened to find a matching liver, and the transplant was quite successful. But unfortunately the doctor recommended that the little girl take medication for life to avoid rejection, a few months later, the little girl suddenly began to vomit, after being sent to the hospital, the doctor suddenly found that the little girl's blood type had changed, more precisely, the donor's liver changed the little girl's blood type, the stem cells in the donated liver in the little girl's body had penetrated into her bone marrow, and then changed her entire immune system, and slowly her blood type changed from O Rh negative to O Rh positive, which means that her body has fully accepted this liver, or more precisely, her liver has completely accepted this body。

Doctors say it will happen in 6 billion people, which is a miracle within a miracle. So blood type isn't immutable, but do you dare to try?

When the heart is transplanted alive, there may be some chemicals in the donor cells, which can be different in number from the recipient, and some of them can act on the central nervous system, but I don't know what the specifics are, but there are records (as seen in the journal) that after transplanting the hearts of some depressed patients, the recipient can get depression.

A few years ago, one of his younger brothers suffered from dilated cardiomyopathy and spent 330,000 yuan on a heart transplant, but died after the operation. Two years later, Chi Changshun also had heart problems and was diagnosed with the same heart disease as his brother. This is tantamount to adding insult to injury for families who have already fallen back into poverty due to illness. Chi Changshun was desperate - he was afraid that if the operation was unsuccessful like his younger brother, he would lose both people and money, and drag down his family. He tried to commit suicide twice, but was stopped by his wife and children.

Just when Chi Changshun's family was in a hurry, at the beginning of this year, the People's Liberation Army 181 Hospital, which has business ties with local hospitals, learned about the patient's situation and decided to help the patient have a heart transplant and exempt him from part of the operation fee through donations.

The family scraped together more than 30,000 yuan for Chi Changshun, and the hospital decided to donate 120,000 yuan for him to complete the operation, considering his family's difficulties. On the morning of the 13th, Wang Hui, vice president of 181 Hospital, handed over the donation to Chi Changshun.

Before the operation, Chi Changshun was nervous, and the shadow left by his brother's failed treatment was difficult to erase in his heart. In the ward, his son patiently persuaded his father and cheered him up.

According to Wei Xubo, director of the heart center of 181 Hospital, heart transplantation is more difficult than transplantation of liver, kidney and other organs. In order to ensure that the surgery can be completed smoothly, the hospital has made adequate preparations.

The operation lasted more than 6 hours. The difficulty of surgery is increased due to the patient's heart malformation. At 5 p.m. that day, the operation was successfully completed. Currently, the patient's signs are normal. Industry insiders believe that the success of the operation marks a new level of organ transplantation technology in our city.

Can the change of heart bring about a change in personality? Does the heart also have the function of memory like the brain? Professor Wang Dongjin told this reporter that these are still "unsolved mysteries" in medicine, and that such a huge personality change in Yang Mengyong is indeed a medical case. However, it cannot be ruled out that because the heart supplies blood to the whole body, including the brain, a part of the stem cells reaches the brain and "affects" memory function.

However, Professor Wang Dongjin said that there are purely psychological factors in Yang Mengyong's changes, his heart disease history is as long as 20 years, and he has spent a period of near-death and hopelessness, but he is suddenly reborn, as if he was suddenly "released" under huge mental pressure, his personality will change greatly, and his attitude towards life will also change dramatically. Some psychologists also said that Lao Yang had received different degrees of hints before and after receiving a heart transplant, such as someone told him: The heart you transplanted is a young man's heart. This hints at him to some extent, and his behavior will also change unconsciously.

Similar to the peculiar "heart changer"

Love Writes Love Letter to His Wife After Transplanting His Heart According to the American Overseas Chinese Daily, 40-year-old retired truck driver Jem Clark has never been a sentimental person, and he has never written a love letter to his wife Maggie because he left school at the age of 15 and his writing skills are terrible.

After receiving a heart transplant six months ago, even Jem himself was shocked when he suddenly sat down at his desk and began to write lines of love poems to his wife, expressing delicate emotions.

According to recent reports by British media, William Siridan, a 63-year-old fast-food restaurant owner in New York, had a very poor level of painting, only about a 3-year-old child.

But since his heart transplant earlier this year, his drawing skills have improved dramatically. It turned out that his heart donor was an avid amateur artist.

Some medical experts believe that William's experience reaffirms a science fiction theory that organ transplant patients may indeed be able to "inherit" the character of an organ donor.

Gary Shivaz, a well-known psychology professor at the University of Arizona in the United States, said that after more than 20 years of research, he found that at least one tenth of organ transplant patients have changed their personalities and "inherited" the personality of organ donors. Professor Shivaz explains that this is because all the major organs of the human body have some kind of "cellular memory". When they are transplanted into other people, the memories carried by the organs are transferred from one person to another.

"I don't want to freak out those who have organ transplants, but only this theory can explain the changes that have happened to them," Professor Shivaz said. Professor Shivaz has studied at least 70 cases of organ transplantation with "personality transfer".

A 25-year-old man suddenly became a little "feminine" after transplanting the heart of a homosexual. Another 25-year-old man, after having a woman's heart transplanted, now wants to go out shopping every day to surprise his girlfriend.

Professor Shivaz also found that a 7-year-old American girl began to dream frequently about the murderer's appearance after transplanting the heart of a murdered 10-year-old girl, and finally the police actually caught the murderer according to the "clues" she provided.
