Chapter 175: Immunity and Rejection

"You mean, you suspect that the cause of death of those who voluntarily donated their bodies was not due to an accident, but to man-made?" After listening to Wang Yiyuan's account of Jian Yisheng's accidental death and why she wanted to obtain the doctor's patient information, he asked this sentence.

"I just wasn't sure, so I wanted to start looking at the patients who were donating to see if they were related to each other, or if they had anything in common. ”

"I don't think that's likely. Even if the donor dies, the deceased's organs will be used in a random number of people who need to be transplanted, and who can predict in advance? I don't think anyone would go to such an extreme point to get a hope of not being sure whether to get a donation, right?"

The doubts that have nothing to do with me are reasonable.

As we all know, the immune system is a very important protective mechanism of the human body, which can carry out a very complete defense against various pathogenic factors, and can attack, destroy and eliminate "foreign components" such as bacteria, viruses, foreign bodies, allogeneic tissues, artificial materials, etc.

But everything is too much.

Immune function is the same as blood pressure, blood sugar, etc., too low is not good, it is easy to make the human body infected by viruses or bacteria and cause diseases, but too high is also not a good thing, the immune response is too strong, the destructive is huge, will lead to allergic diseases or autoimmune diseases in the human body, such as myasthenia gravis, lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid and so on.

The immune system can inadvertently attack the body's own tissues, let alone tissues that are foreign in the first place. Therefore, how to solve the very complex immunological phenomenon of transplant rejection has become a difficult problem in organ transplantation.

In order to reduce rejection, an organ must be matched prior to transplantation. It mainly includes blood grouping, population anti-antibody (PRA) detection, lymphocyte toxicity test (CDC, i.e., cross-matching), HLA matching, and so on. Even so, people who survive an organ transplant must continue to take anti-rejection drugs in order to reduce rejection in their bodies.

In medicine, no matter what kind of organ transplantation, the impact on the recipient is far greater than the impact on the donor, so most of the matching needs to be done by testing the recipient. When the deceased donor goes to register, the simple medical test is only to register whether there is a genetic history, a history of infectious diseases, etc., and to test and record the blood group information of the donor.

It is precisely because of this that when I quickly browsed the relevant information on the Internet, I felt that it was not feasible to obtain organs by murdering body donors.

"I know what you mean, you just take it for me. But I really wanted to try it and see if I could find any connections between organ recipients to satisfy my curiosity. Just tell me if you're willing to help me. ”

There was silence for a while, and then he replied: "You contact the other party." I need you to keep him offline for at least ten minutes. ”

Wang Yiyuan has been nervously waiting for a reply, and after seeing this line, she was instantly happy: "Okay, thank you!"

Quickly retreating to the friends interface of the social software, she clicked on the dialog box to talk to the doctor.
