A week later.

Nine a.m.

Ward.

In front of the bedside of the "tree man" patient.

Today is the time for the "tree man" to change the dressing for the first time.

Before, Zhao Heng had already given this uncle, who could be said to have suffered and tortured, and had undergone seven surgeries before, and once again had a total resection, but the difference between this operation and the previous seven surgeries was that Zhao Heng transplanted the uncle this time with epithelial stem cells cultured with the latest technology.

Today's dressing change is a critical moment to witness whether the transplanted epithelial stem cells have played a role.

It can be said that if the stem cell transplant does not play a role this time, then this uncle will definitely relapse again in the future, and at that time, it can be said that there is no other way than to do amputation.

"How are you feeling these days?"

Zhao Heng asked the uncle who was lying on the hospital bed and looked very nervous.

This time, the treatment of verrucous epidermal dysplasia by total resection + transplantation of epithelial stem cells is also a great innovation.

It can be said that this surgery and treatment can be used as an example of dermatology.

"It's just that it feels a little itchy, but it doesn't have the feeling that I can't help but scratch when it's itchy before."

Uncle thought for a while and said.

Every time he relapsed before, he would watch those "branches" grow on his legs, and it was accompanied by extreme visual and psychological discomfort, and the most difficult thing to get through was the feeling of itching.

For countless days and nights, the uncle took a lot of painkillers, but it had no effect at all, so he could only scratch with both hands until the skin he grabbed was ulcerated and bloody.

This kind of difficult and painful time, I believe that hell is nothing more than that.

"Itching is normal, which means that the transplanted epithelial stem cells are now starting to grow. If it doesn't itch at all, the transplant has failed. ”

Zhao Heng said in a soft tone comforting the uncle lying on the hospital bed with a worried face.

This look of fear that his hopes would be disappointed, he had seen too much since he became a doctor.

"Doctor Zhao, if this time is successful, will it not recur in the future?"

Uncle couldn't help but ask.

As soon as he said this, the uncle's wife who was standing next to him also looked at Zhao Heng with a nervous and hopeful expression.

In fact, since her husband got this disease, some people have constantly persuaded her, saying that this disease is incurable, and sooner or later she will have to amputate her leg, and once she has amputated her leg, it will be a disability.

is her mother's family, all of them vaguely persuade her, a laborer, without legs, what else can be done, they are all persuading her to leave early.

However, she withstood these pressures and did not reveal them to her husband at all.

A person in a world, a couple, although she doesn't have much culture and doesn't know what life is, she has regarded her husband as the only one in her life.

This perception is so simple and sincere.

"This time the transplant is epithelial stem cells, and if the transplant is successful, the skin tissue can be reshaped, and the probability of recurrence is very small."

Zhao Heng said.

"Let's change the dressing."

After a pause, Zhao Heng said to Tian Zhen who was standing next to him.

And standing next to Tian Zhen are Liu Meng and Qu Xiaofeng.

Liu Meng is now a doctor in the ward, so he is naturally very concerned about the situation of patients in the ward, and Qu Xiaofeng, as the person in charge of the stem cell culture room of Dongfang Hospital, is also very concerned about the application of stem cells.

Just when Tian Zhen put on his gloves and uncovered the gauze covering his uncle's legs, almost everyone present was looking forward to it at the moment.

According to common sense, the current uncle should have had amputation, but his current legs can be preserved, all thanks to Zhao Heng.

As Tian Zhen uncovered the gauze little by little, because the gauze and the wound were partially adhered to, which involved the sensitive subcutaneous nerves, some unbearable colors appeared on the uncle's face.

But he still held back, after all, compared to the itchy and painful feeling that seemed to have 10,000 ants biting on his legs before, the little pain from the gauze lifting the skin now is nothing.

Seeing the painful look on the uncle's face, Tian Zhen became more careful, and it took several minutes for the gauze to be completely removed.

When the gauze was completely removed, Zhao Heng saw the recovery of the uncle's legs for the first time, and immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

Zhao Heng saw that the uncle's legs were already long pink granulation tissue, which showed that the transplanted epithelial stem cells grew very well.

"Doctor, how's it going?"

Uncle also saw his legs for the first time, it didn't look oozing, it was very refreshing, although the exposed pink granulation tissue looked a little oozing, but it was much better than the gray-black and pus-bleeding "branch" tissue before.

"The recovery was good, there was no oozing and ulceration, and the transplanted epithelial stem cell tissue was growing well."

Zhao Heng said.

"That... Doctor, is this a success? ”

Hearing Zhao Heng's words, although the uncle had thought so, he still said with some uncertainty.

"Well, it worked."

Looking at the uncle's very worried expression, Zhao Heng nodded affirmatively and said.

"Thank you. Thank you doctor. ”

The uncle said very gratefully, and the uncle's wife who was standing next to him had tears in her eyes at this moment.

At this moment, both husband and wife have waited too long, too long.

"Take a good rest and recuperate, and after recovery, it basically won't affect your work."

Zhao Heng said.

The uncle and his wife expressed their gratitude again.

After returning to the office from the ward, Liu Meng looked at Zhao Heng's eyes and was already very impressed.

Although verrucous epidermal dysplasia is not a terminal disease and is not fatal, the slow and painful torment it brings to patients is more terrifying than some fatal terminal diseases.

Now Zhao Heng can be said to have overcome this incurable disease in this patient, which makes Liu Meng feel that it is time to change some of his previous views on medicine.

"Dr. Zhao, stem cell therapy has been a success again. This time, I must write a paper that will definitely be sent to a very prestigious journal. ”

Qu Xiaofeng also said a little excitedly.

"Then I'll leave the matter of writing the paper to Dr. Qu, and just give me a second author to sign it when the time comes."

Zhao Heng smiled and said to Qu Xiaofeng.

"Dr. Zhao, this is the treatment you proposed, how can you ask for the second author's signature?"

Qu Xiaofeng heard Zhao Heng's words, and his heart was naturally very moved, as soon as this paper was published, it can be said that it has a lot of weight in the industry, and maybe he will be promoted to deputy director.

But this is the treatment method proposed by Zhao Heng, and he naturally can't take the lion's lead.

"Dr. Qu, now is a critical moment for you, and I am not bad for this paper, so you can sign it as the first author. Besides, I really didn't have the time or energy to write this paper during this time. ”

Zhao Heng smiled again and said.

"This..."

Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Qu Xiaofeng hesitated.

"Then I'll thank you, Dr. Zhao, call me if you have something in the future, you didn't say it."

After hesitating for a moment, Qu Xiaofeng made up his mind, he couldn't let go of such a good opportunity.

"Well, Lao Qu, our cooperation has just begun."

Zhao Heng nodded and said.

Liu Meng, who was standing on the side, saw this scene, and she knew that Qu Xiaofeng could be regarded as following Zhao Heng.

This is a means of collecting the heart.
