"There are similar things, and similar cases are published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

A 52-year-old mother named Keegan was in urgent need of a kidney replacement, and her two adult sons were given genetic tests to choose the right candidates.

As a result, both sons did not match his genes, and after two years of confusion, doctors discovered that Keegan was a patient with a human chimera chimera. ”

"It's a natural chimera, and it's acquired. Wu Mian continued.

"Huh?" said Daoist Lin in surprise.

The amount of information received today was too large, causing Lin Daoshi to feel a little dizzy. In his opinion, things that he can't encounter in his life are sparse and ordinary when they come out of the mouth of Uncle Xiao, and he is very impressed that Uncle Xiao has seen and heard a lot.

"In 2004, a study published in Bone Marrow Transplantation, a subsidiary of Nature, showed that blood transfusions allow recipients to temporarily carry some of the donor's cells, while patients who receive bone marrow transplants will become permanently chimeras. ”

"This is the artificial chimera, which emerged during the treatment process. There have been 35 articles in medical journals in the last 10 years about the genetic changes that occur after a bone marrow transplant. ”

"The study of chimeras is not extensive, it is rare after all, and it is still a fringe branch of science. In a few years, there could be a big revolution in gene editing. It is not necessarily a few years later, this year's Nobel Prize may give the theory of gene editing, and then it will definitely lead to more research. ”

"Dr. Wu, Zhou Qinyin...... The color of her left and right sides of her body is different, and if the people in the Chimera chimera are like this, is it easy to tell the difference? Why don't everyone know about it?" asked Crop Qi.

"Oh, that's right. "Most patients with Chimera chimera are internal, while a small number are on the surface. ”

"What do you mean, little uncle?" Daoist Lin was confused by Wu Mian, and directly interrupted him and asked.

"Let's take another example. "For example, the chimera of American model Taylor Milling is directly reflected in the skin color. I haven't seen Zhou Qinyin's skin in a different color, but I think it should be similar to Taylor Millin. And Zhou Qinyin is a more special case, her internal and external genes are all manifestations of chimeras. ”

"It's all ......," Crop Qi whispered.

"There is not enough research on chimeras, and many theories are still just theories, and there is no clinical data to support them. ”

"Because of the intervention of capital, the direction of human scientific research is biased towards the one that can bring profits. Many rare diseases are not understood by existing technology research, but because they are rare diseases, there are not enough patients to study, or there is no profit at all, and no one is thinking about these diseases. ”

Wu Mian said with a smile.

"Dr. Wu, I think you are biased against capital. Crop Qi lifted his glasses and said with a smile. The words are very gentle, although Wu Mian is not right, but it is not annoying.

"Hehe, it's still the same old saying, as long as there is profit, the capitalists don't mind selling the noose to the man who hangs them. This is the profession, this is the profession!" Wu Mian said.

“......”

"Pure theory is boring, and there are countless examples of this, just to name one. Wu Mian said, "The founder of the Auergesellschaft company in Berlin, Germany, is Carl Auer, who invented the gas lamp shade. During World War II, a toothpaste called Doramad was invented. ”

"Toothpaste?"

"Well, just toothpaste. It is no different from the advertisements of various toothpastes now, healthy gums, eliminating bacteria, white and shiny teeth, etc. Didn't you just say that there are many things that kill people with the latest technology, such as this toothpaste. Wu Mian said.

"And then?" Daoist Lin likes gossip the most, and Uncle Xiao has a lot of knowledge, and he listens to it with relish. From chimeras to toothpaste, there is no sense of disobedience at all.

"Auer Gesselshaft is a chemical company, a company engaged in the processing and processing of uranium ore. The Germans felt that thorium was more important than they thought in the study of atoms, so they accumulated a large amount of thorium. ”

"......" Lin Daoist smacked his tongue.

"At the end of World War II, the German army was defeated, and the United States desperately tried to obtain the fruits of the Germans in technology and use them. At that time, the Americans did not know whether thorium was a better raw material for making atomic bombs. ”

"Shortly after the liberation of Paris, Terres-Rales was found by Assos' troops, only to find that the company was empty. At that time, they panicked, for fear that Germany would build hundreds of atomic bombs at the last moment, and everyone would be finished together. ”

Although he knew that history was not like this, Crop Qi was still a little nervous.

It is true that the course of history is sometimes quite random, and perhaps a small accident can lead to the turning of the river of history.

Later, an isotope separation laboratory in Helsingen was deemed most likely to preserve the raw materials that the Germans had isolated and could have made an atomic bomb. So the soldiers searched and found a one-and-a-half-ton metal thorium cube buried there in a cave near Hessingen. ”

"So much!" Although Daoist Lin didn't know how much thorium was worth, after all, it was a rare metal, and it was generally grams, and even milligrams were not surprising.

Germany is really rich, and thorium, a rare element, is calculated directly by the ton.

"Well, it's a ton and a half of thorium. But the ending was unexpected, these thorium elements were not prepared to make an atomic bomb and make the Führer turn the tables. ”

"What's that for?" asked Crop Qi curiously.

Thorium, a radioactive element, is not a treasure at all for normal people, but the impermanence of life.

"Auer realized that the war was over, and that the resulting loss of business was too much for the capital to bear. Defeat is inevitable, but what does that have to do with capital? Capital's natural mission is to increase its value, to devour it, and then to turn it into profit. Wu Mian said with a smile.

Crop Qi wanted to refute, but he knew that it was best not to upset Wu Mian, so he held back after thinking about it. And if you want to refute it, it seems that there is nothing to say.

They believe that it is skin care products and cosmetics that can bring about a new future. At that time, radium was already used in toothpaste, and the updated product was thorium. Thorium is more suitable for daily necessities than radium. ”

Wu Mian's words were extremely ridiculous, and Daoist Lin and Wei Dabao were dumbfounded when they heard it, even Crop Qi's eyes widened, and they couldn't believe that people would think so eighty years ago.

In hospitals, many patients do not want to have a test because of the radiation. But less than 100 years ago, these radioactive materials were used in daily necessities!

Crop Qi knew that radium was a bestseller at that time, and many daily necessities, including cigarettes, contained radium.

But the thorium element has not been heard.
