Thinking that he might have a bone marrow transplant in the future, Guo Xiang felt that this method was too backward, not to mention the pain of the donor, and the efficiency would be lower, so he had to inquire if there was a hematopoietic stem cell separator.

In fact, bone marrow transplantation is mainly to transplant hematopoietic stem cells, but in the past, hematopoietic stem cells could not be isolated, so only bone marrow could be directly extracted.

The blood from which the stem cells have been isolated can also be transfused back into the original donor's body, which will have less impact on the donor's body.

Guo Xiang inquired around, and then asked President Lin of Beijing Medical University, and learned that a company that made medical devices really had this kind of machine, which was still imported.

When I inquired, I asked for 300,000.

But it's okay, it's not just this time, you can use it in the future. Things like leukemia can be used.

Guo Xiang immediately contacted the company to order, let them deliver it to the door, and then install and debug, except for part of the final payment, most of the payment was settled first, so as to avoid any problems.

Of course, even if there is a problem, people will also warrant it, and people are not doing a one-shot deal.

On the contrary, knowing that Guo Xiang's hospital has strength, they also gave discounts, and if they need other machines in the future, they can give priority to supply.

Guo Xiang is also willing, so that he does not have to go abroad to buy, and a series of procedures such as import declaration take a lot of time and energy, so it is better to buy ready-made.

After a few days of physical examinations for the two children, it was a matching test, and all the inspection reports were handed over to Guo Xiang.

"Sister-in-law, how is it, can it be cured?" Guo'er asked Guo Xiang.

Guo Xiang nodded while reading the report, "This thalassemia, also known as globin dyspoietic anemia, is a group of inherited hemolytic anemia diseases. ”

"Anemia or pathological condition caused by the absence or insufficiency of one or more globin chains in hemoglobin due to an inherited genetic defect."

"It is more common in Guangdong Province, Xiguang Region, and Sichuan Province in China, and there are sporadic cases in the provinces and regions south of the Yangtze River, and there are fewer cases in the north. That's why Qin Shaosheng gave birth to so many people there who got this disease. ”

"It is generally divided into mild, intermediate and severe, mild generally has no symptoms, and it does not affect ordinary life, at most take some medicine, intermediate moderate anemia can generally live to adulthood, and severe is easy to die early."

"And the severe has obvious characteristics, anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, dysplasia, and the appearance is a large head, wide eye distance, forehead protrusion, easy fractures, ......etc."

"No wonder I said that Tong Tong and that servant look a little similar, and they are not very good-looking, just because they are both seriously ill, so they grow like that?" Guo'er said.

Guo Xiang nodded, "So it's still easy to distinguish, the basic effect of heavy medicine is not great, you can have blood transfusion, but it is also a symptom but not a cure, the main thing is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which is what we usually call bone marrow transplantation." ”

"Is the city so small that it can be transplanted to Tong Tong?" Guo'er asked.

"Yes, they are brother and sister, and their blood type is the same. In fact, it is just the umbilical cord blood of the newborn fetus, but most people do not know and will not store umbilical cord blood. Some people have a child with leukemia at home, and they can't find a match, so they deliberately conceive one child just to save the other......"

"So it's okay?" Guo'er nodded, she studied Chinese medicine, so this knowledge is still very limited.

"So Chengcheng and Tongtong are successfully matched?" Guo'er asked.

"Yes, they've done it before, but even then the surgery costs a lot of money, and they can't afford it." Guo Xiang sighed, so it is still necessary to set up this fund by himself, at least to help some people.

"Can you start doing that?" Guo'er asked.

"It's not so fast, and it takes four days to give the city a mobilizer. Go and call their father. Guo Xiang said.

After the child moved in, Qin Shaosheng said that he wanted to do something to help the hospital in order to express his gratitude, Guo Xiang asked him to do the work of cleaning and nurse, of course, he would be paid a salary at that time, his family was so difficult, and it was not easy to take two children.

Guo'er called Qin Shaosheng over, Qin Shaosheng was doing hygiene, took off his gloves, and was a little restrained, "Dean Guo, are you looking for me?" ”

Guo Xiang nodded, "Sit down, I'll tell you about the child." ”

"The examination has been completed, the two children are indeed matched, and the children will be given mobilizers tomorrow." Guo Xiang said.

"What is a mobilizer?" Qin Shaosheng asked.

"The mobilizer is injected into Chengcheng's body, and the transplantation is mainly to transplant hematopoietic stem cells, this hematopoietic stem cell is transplanted into Tong Tong's body, and it grows well in her, and it will make blood by itself in the future, and the body will get better."

"But the hematopoietic stem cells in the human body are also limited, and the ones in Chengcheng's body are withdrawn to Tong Tong, and he himself is less. Of course, he will still grow physically, but in order to get a little more, he will need to use mobilizers. ”

"This mobilizer is a factor that allows hematopoietic stem cells to grow, which is to allow the stem cells in the body to proliferate and differentiate rapidly, so that the number of stem cells in the bone marrow is more, and then the stem cells will be released into the blood, so there is no need to draw the bone marrow, just separate the stem cells in the blood."

Qin Shaosheng nodded, it turned out to be so.

"The mobilizer will be played for four days, and it will start tomorrow, and the child may be a little uncomfortable after the fight, with backache and bone headache or something, after all, it is artificially made to grow rapidly or a little uncomfortable, so you can give the child a warm compress when you are free, so that he will not be so uncomfortable." Guo Xiang said.

"Okay, thank you, Dean Guo." Qin Shaosheng nodded, Dean Guo was too considerate of the child.

"However, the mobilizer will also increase the number of white blood cells, and the child may have symptoms of dizziness, nausea, and vomiting at that time, which is normal, if there is a rash, fever, etc., we should tell us in time, it may be allergies, and anti-allergy treatment should be done." Guo Xiang said.

"Okay, I remember." Qin Shaosheng nodded.

The next morning, the nurse came to give the first injection of mobilizer, the needle was a little thick, and Chengcheng's brow furrowed and did not move.

Tong Tong was very distressed on the side, "Brother, does it hurt?" I'll give you a whoop! ”

After speaking, he pursed his lips and blew gently on Chengcheng's arm.

"Sister, it doesn't hurt." Chengcheng said softly.

"Chengcheng is so brave!" Guo'er was on the side, and it was distressing to see the child so sensible.

"I have to get a second shot in eight hours." The nurse said that there was another injection in the afternoon.

After the second injection in the afternoon, Chengcheng felt a little sore in his waist.

Qin Shaosheng hurriedly went to get hot water and took a towel to warm the child, and Tong Tong also stayed by his brother's side.

The next day, the third and fourth injections were given, and Chengcheng obviously felt that his waist was very uncomfortable, and he was very sore, after all, he was a child, and he still screamed in pain.

Qin Shaosheng hurriedly massaged the child, it was useless.

"It would also be useful to continue to apply warm compresses and give your child a hot bath." Guo Xiang said.

Chengcheng is still so young, and it is not easy for his sister.
