Chapter 271: Gene-Targeted Therapy?

"Yes, yes, this is it."

The middle-aged man nodded again and again.

"Doctor, can I have another operation?"

After a pause, the middle-aged man asked again.

He had already undergone seven surgeries before, and he already had a deep fear of surgery, but now his legs were covered with "branches", and his skin was cracked, and if he did not have surgery to remove them, these "branches" would grow all the time, involving nerves, and it could be said that every moment was painful.

"In your case, you have already had so many surgeries, and if you do it again, it will not cure the symptoms. In this way, you stay down first, use some medicine and do some treatment first, relieve your symptoms, and wait to see if there is any treatment that can cure the root cause. ”

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said.

For this patient, the difficulty of the surgery is not high, it is nothing more than the removal of the growths that grow on the skin surface of the legs, and then the skin grafting.

But this kind of surgery, this patient has done it seven times before, and if it is repeated again, it will still recur in the future, and if it recurs, then there may be a great possibility that he will face the risk of amputation.

"Thank you, doctor, thank you."

The middle-aged man said very gratefully, Zhao Heng could treat him, this was already very unexpected to him, originally he thought, or if Zhao Heng didn't admit him, then he would have to go back to his hometown, and don't think about treating him again in the future.

It's a big deal, just like a doctor said before, when there is really no way, you can directly amputate your leg.

However, there is really no way to choose, and anyone who is very reluctant to accept the choice of amputation.

"Take him to the hospital."

Zhao Heng said to Tian Zhen who was standing next to him.

"Okay, Dr. Zhao."

Tian Zhen nodded, took the middle-aged man and his wife, and went to the hospital together.

The "tree man" patient went to be hospitalized, but Zhao Heng fell into thought.

For verrucous epidermal dysplasia, there is no special treatment in the medical field at present, and it is generally referred to the treatment of warts, when the warts are still relatively small, they can be dried and scraped with electricity to eliminate relatively small wart growths.

When the wart growths on the surface of the skin are relatively large, they can be treated with liquid nitrogen freezing, laser and microwave treatment, or even X-ray irradiation, but excessive X-ray irradiation will cause great damage to the skin and may cause cancer.

In other words, the current treatment of verrucous epidermal dysplasia is based on the idea of removing vegetations.

The root cause of verrucous epidermal dysplasia is due to the abnormal expression of the ever1/ever2 gene on chromosome 17 in the human body.

Therefore, if you want to cure the root cause, you can only try gene-directed targeted therapy to directly change the expression of ever1/ever2 on chromosome 17 and fundamentally solve the problem.

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng felt that in his current experience, there was no in-depth research on gene targeted therapy.

Most of them are just in a state of understanding, and if they want to be treated, they are probably beyond their power.

Thinking of this, Zhao Heng thought that this time I am afraid that I will have to find an authoritative professor in gene targeted therapy like Professor Li Hongwei to obtain the corresponding gene targeted therapy technology.

It just so happens that tomorrow Zhao Heng will go over to Professor Li Hongwei and cooperate with Professor Li Hongwei to do an experiment, and then he can ask Professor Li Hongwei who is the professor with the most in-depth research on gene targeted therapy in Beishi.

After a while, the middle-aged man came back from the hospital, and Zhao Heng prescribed a medical order.

Inside the office.

Tian Zhen couldn't help but say to Zhao Heng: "Doctor Zhao, today's patient is an incurable disease that other doctors can't handle, and it takes too much effort to treat these patients. ”

Since coming to the ward, Tian Zhen has seen that the patients admitted by Zhao Heng are basically patients who are not admitted to other hospitals, or have no way at all.

Dealing with these patients can be said to be extremely energy-consuming and even thankless for doctors.

"There's no way around it, if I don't accept these patients, no one will accept them."

Hearing this, Zhao Heng smiled gently and said.

In fact, clinically, there are many thankless patients for doctors, and these patients are either replaced with rare diseases or incurable diseases.

For these patients, some doctors may not necessarily choose to receive them.

Because if it is accepted, then the painstaking treatment may not be effective, and it may be counterproductive.

The work of doctors is already very complicated, and some doctors are even more reluctant to cause trouble for themselves.

"It's too tiring to treat these incurable diseases."

Tian Zhen said with some emotion.

Although these things are always to be done by someone, choosing to do these things is destined to be disproportionate to the payout and the benefit.

"Someone has to do these things, and don't you think it's particularly challenging to treat these patients, and after being cured, it's also very rewarding?"

Zhao Heng smiled again and said.

"Doctor Zhao, your pursuit is too high."

Tian Zhen said.

Of course, doctors like Zhao Heng are not nothing, many old doctors of the previous generation are like this.

But among young doctors, there are relatively few people who think like Zhao Heng.

To put it simply, young people nowadays may pay more attention to things such as cost performance and treatment prospects for work.

"People must have something to pursue, otherwise what is the difference between it and salted fish."

Zhao Heng said.

This is what he can say now, if he changed to the previous equipment and table, he couldn't even solve the problem of food and clothing, he couldn't say such things.

At that time, if someone gave him a lookout, but he could have seven or eight thousand jobs a month, then he would do it, and he didn't care if it had anything to do with his major.

Of course, he now has a good income in all aspects, his main business and side business are very good, and he will soon be able to achieve financial freedom, of course, he will pursue it a little in the future.

"Dr. Zhao, I think my future achievements may be more than just a doctor."

Tian Zhen said suddenly.

Since the operating room, Tian Zhen has been paying attention to Zhao Heng, and it can be said that Zhao Heng is different from any doctor he has ever seen.

She had a vague premonition that Zhao Heng might become the kind of doctor who could be said to be a very great doctor in the current era beyond everyone's imagination.

Of course, the word great, in the words used now, is a bit exaggerated.

In the current world, any doctor can basically not reach the word great.

"A doctor is a doctor, but it is just to treat diseases and save people, what is not simple."

Hearing this, Zhao Heng just smiled and said disapprerovantly.
