【Chapter 229】Umbilical cord blood
After hearing this, the sea rolled its eyes, followed by a huge wave in the stomach, and the sweet and sour mouth of Huoxiang Zhengqi water drilled directly into the throat, and the spicy taste counterattacked along the esophagus, and the tears seemed to flood with it!
The first thing he thought of was a placenta that had just been cut short, which was thrown on the cold operating table under the cold light, coiled in the plate like a small intestine, wet and shiny on it, and it could be seen to be stained with amniotic fluid when shaking.
A small amount of blood flowed out of it, like an unscrewed faucet, mixed with amniotic fluid and unknown turbid fluid, and was poured into the metal vial, and then flowed into his throat, through his esophagus, into his stomach, mixed with his stomach acid and food, fermented, and finally flowed all over his body.
Blind Chen looked at Luo Wen with interest: "How did you lead the team?" ”
Rowan looked at the expression of the sea, and then looked back at Chen Blind: "This kid is allergic to all corrupt things, and has a strong self-imagination, so he can make brain derivatives on his own without prompting"
Luo Wen handed Chen a cigarette: "Second uncle, tell me about this umbilical cord blood"
Chen Blind took the cigarette and lit it, and then recalled: "I listened to what your father said, I don't know if it's true or not, and he doesn't want to say too much." ”
This blood is indeed human blood, and it is indeed umbilical cord blood. The umbilical cord and cord blood, in fact, are all filthy things in superstitious terms, and like fecal menstrual blood, they were and are not accepted by people, and are considered dirty, ugly, disgusting, and disgusting.
Umbilical cord blood is the blood that remains in the placenta and umbilical cord after the fetus has been delivered, the umbilical cord is ligated and severed, and this cord blood is usually discarded. In fact, umbilical cord blood contains hematopoietic stem cells that can rebuild the body's hematopoietic and immune systems. It can be used for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to treat a variety of diseases.
The hematopoietic stem cells in umbilical cord blood can be used to treat a variety of hematologic and immune system diseases, including hematologic malignancies, hemoglobinopathies, bone marrow hematopoietic failure, congenital metabolic diseases, innate immunodeficiency disorders, autoimmune diseases, and certain solid tumors.
In other words, if a person is compared to a computer, once the computer is infected with a virus and cannot be repaired, then umbilical cord blood is the exclusive antivirus software of this computer, and it comes with backup.
Chen Blind flicked the cigarette ash: "After so many generations of reproduction, the most fundamental genes of the Wen family in the body have begun to be gradually diluted, even if the genetics are strong. It is also bound to be neutralized by mating, so the Wen family's natural eye gradually ceased to manifest and became a recessive feature.
The Wen family then began to do everything they could to perpetuate this unique natural trait, maybe they didn't understand any genetics at all, and they didn't understand the medical value of umbilical cord blood, but they didn't know how Lu Dao found that umbilical cord blood, which had always been considered a filthy thing, could make the diluted genetic tissue strong again.
Not only can the Wen family's unique genes regain dominance of the body, but it can also revive the Tianyan that has become a recessive trait again, so that this bloodline can continue to continue. ”
Hearing this, Rowan suddenly realized: "No wonder Pingshan didn't find anything strange in my physical examination. Whether it is a physical test or a chemical test, there is no abnormality, in the final analysis, the reason is that the medicine that Xing Song gave me to drink is not a drug at all, it is originally blood!
That's why I'm so anxious about what I can't figure out why! No wonder Pingshan couldn't find any residue after any laboratory tests! But after the worst replacement, it got better because of the exchange of blood! ”
"You've changed your blood?" Blind Chen was suddenly surprised.
Rowan nodded: "I was in a very bad condition at that time. Blood often clots for no apparent reason, and the body stiffens leading to limited movement, even inability to move, and persistent high fever. I was unconscious and often in a coma, so Dr. Pingshan decided to treat me with bloodletting. So it seems. All my previous symptoms were actually rejection of this cord blood! ”
"Nonsense!" Chen Blind scolded fiercely: "Quack! What a rescue is this on dog days! It's obviously harmful! ”
Blind Chen scolded with all his might, then frowned and closed his eyes: "I said, how did you survive the eye-opening ceremony and still haven't opened the eyes of heaven yet!" It turned out to be caused by the blood being diluted again! ”
Rowan touched the tense muscles on his forehead, and then shrugged his shoulders: "I think it's good, if there is really an eye in the middle, I will definitely die."
"You know what!" Blind Chen suddenly raised his voice, this was the first time that Blind Chen was angry in front of everyone, obviously he was a little angry about this, "The blood has been diluted, it means that you can no longer open the eyes of the sky, and for your Wen family, this is simply a disaster of extermination!" To put it more seriously, from now on, your Wen family's heavenly eye will disappear forever in this world! Your family has also been cut off from you! ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Rowan, shock, remorse, humiliation, anger, resistance, all these expressions that everyone could think of did not appear on Rowan's face, Rowan just smiled lightly: "Isn't this good?" ”
Blind Chen's eyes suddenly became a little dazed, and he looked at Luo Wen speechless for a long time, and the originally angry Chen Blind Man calmed down!
"When you say this, you have a virtue with your father," Chen said leisurely.
Luo Wen looked at Chen Blind with some surprise, and Chen Blind stroked his hair: "At that time, your mother was just pregnant with you, and we went around looking for this eye-opening umbilical cord blood for you, but we found nothing, and we found that someone always took the first step to take away this umbilical cord blood."
We know that without this umbilical cord blood, even if the foundation of the Wen family is gone, without the Heavenly Eye, it is impossible for your evil eye to reach the level of your father's illusion in your lifetime. Your dad and I were sitting on the back of two bicycles waiting for the mad dog, and I asked, 'What if I can't find this cord blood?' ’
Your dad had the same expression as you, and he said, 'Isn't that bad?' ’
It turns out that in his heart, he doesn't want you to live in this cold world with that weird eye anymore, he wants you to enjoy the sunshine, enjoy the joy of friends, laugh wantonly on the street, go to the beach, go to the street partner to drink beer and eat skewers. Just like an ordinary person, you don't need to lock a hat on your head, or wrap it in gauze and pretend to be an angry young man who has just fought, and let you be whoever you want to be. ”
Blind Chen let out a long sigh when he said this: "Your father is ...... I've never had a picture taken in my life."
Rowan stared at a raised stone on the ground, and in this cool morning, he looked at every edge and corner of the stone through the faint blue light, but the more he looked at it, the more he couldn't see clearly, the fog seemed to be covered with dew, and then everything began to blur, when he saw the stone clearly. A hot tear had already smashed on the stone, and it exploded with a thud, enveloping the stone and turning it into hot and humid dust.
"Second uncle, let's talk about my mother" Luo Wen's voice was very steady, except that after saying this, he cleared the blockage in his throat for no reason.
Blind Chen lit a cigarette: "She is a good woman, when we go out, we always cook two red-skinned eggs for your father, and every time we come back, we will warm a pot of wine, and sometimes let us get drunk." Sometimes it's just for your dad to fill it up slowly.
Now that I think about it, I can't remember her appearance a little, but I remember that she was so young at that time, and she was always so gentle, and your father said the least. So every time Mad Dog says that he married the best woman in the world, your father just smiles innocently. Then he picked up the glass and came to us to touch it, shouting that your mother was going to buy wine. ”
Luo Wen raised his head slightly and looked at the blind man. There was a sense of pride between his eyebrows, and then he couldn't wait to ask, "What's my mother's name?" ”
Blind Chen frowned and thought about it for a long time, but he seemed to be thinking about it every time. But you always shook her head: "It's been too long, I don't remember, your father said it once, I didn't remember, I just heard your father call her sister every time"
Rowan looked into the distance motionlessly, although there were only bare walls in the distance, but in fact his heart had flown away, to the era that he would never catch up, to meet the two people he wanted to see the most, and for a while, the scene fell silent.
The sea knew that Luo Wen should not be disturbed at this time, but it was like listening to a commentary, when he arrived at the pass, Mr. Storyteller left a button and didn't say it, which was the most heart-scratching, so the sea really couldn't wait until he spoke: "Hey, second uncle, what is that, you let Team Luo slow down for a while, what can be loaded in his head is limited, let him react for a while, clean up the cache, otherwise it will be easy to crash!" Tell us about the cord blood. Why do you have to use that thing to open your eyes, and why is it so hard to get your hands on it? ”
Zu Long sat on the side of the thief and smiled: "You are cheap!" I can't stand these things, so I have to listen to them! ”
The sea took a white ancestral dragon with eyes: "Isn't that nonsense!" How many fucking people are not afraid of ghosts? Why do you still watch horror movies? Isn't this just the truth, the more scared you are, the more exciting it is! ”
Chen took a sip of the bottle of water handed over by Baozi, and then lit a cigarette before speaking: "In fact, you should also be able to think that the fundamental reason why umbilical cord blood cures diseases is because umbilical cord blood is an important source of hematopoietic stem cells, and the HLA does not need to be completely compatible during umbilical cord blood transplantation, and there is a 75% chance that it is suitable for use between siblings, and the chance of suitable use between non-relatives is also greatly increased, and there is less rejection, and the degree is also milder."
A bone marrow transplant is a bone transplant in which a needle is inserted into the bone, bone marrow puncture, anesthetized and hospitalized for a day, sometimes with bruising or pain. At the time of transplantation, the HLA must be completely compatible, about 25% of the time between siblings are compatible, and the success rate of pairing between non-relatives is only 1 in 100,000, and the rejection reaction is severe, which is often the main cause of transplant failure. So this is where the preciousness of cord blood lies. ”
Speaking of this, the blind man Chen changed his words: "But for the Wen family, this umbilical cord blood is far from being as easy to use as previously said, because the genes contained in this umbilical cord blood are not from oneself, nor from siblings, let alone father and mother, but from the elders who are earlier than these blood relatives, to put it bluntly, this is the ancestral blood of the ancestors of the Wen family!"
