Chapter 1096 Magic Kills Cancer Cells? There Are Many Problems to Be Solved!
In the hospital in Gretel's previous life, there were several main ways to kill cancer cells.
One is traditional methods, such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. The advantage is that the effect is significant, but the disadvantage is that it is too harmful to the body. Whether it is surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy, after one treatment, only one layer of skin will be peeled off.
The second is some more sophisticated methods, such as radiofrequency ablation, embolization of feeding blood vessels, and proton and heavy ion therapy. The advantage is that it is precise, minimally invasive, and effective. The disadvantage is that the coverage is not precise enough and it is easy to miss something...
After all, tumors are not necessarily perfectly round. Ablation and proton and heavy ion therapy both emit heat from the center and may miss the corners. Embolization of feeding blood vessels may cause a problem if a blood vessel is missed.
Third, there are the latest biomedical methods, such as targeted therapy. The advantage is that the effect is really good and the side effects are really few. The disadvantage...
The disadvantage is that targeted drugs are extremely expensive, costing tens of thousands or tens of thousands in medical expenses a month, and drug resistance can develop after a year or two...
As for certain types of tumors, there are no corresponding targeted drugs, which is another problem.
Grete still knows these basic knowledge, he just hasn't gotten started. He is an emergency doctor, and all these chronic diagnosis tasks are left to his colleagues——
Liver cancer is thrown to the hepatobiliary surgery department, breast cancer is thrown to the thyroid and breast surgery department, lung cancer is thrown to the thoracic surgery department... Of course, some are also thrown to the internal medicine department... oncology department...
Anyway, his own task is just to be careful not to touch the tumor during the operation, and then to call for consultation when it is time to call for consultation, and to issue referrals when it is time to do so.
However, as a doctor, he has never thought about dealing with cancer himself. There was no chance before, but now there is a chance. Grete plans to try the fourth type of method:
That is to say, mental power locks on cancer cells, covers the patient's whole body, and kills all cancer cells in a targeted manner.
I thought well, but in the past it was fine when used to kill bacteria and viruses. However, once it was used to kill cancer cells, something went terribly wrong.
"Stop the bleeding! Stop the bleeding! Treatment!!!" Gretel shouted. He shouted the first word, and a green light floated down, caressing the rabbit's body, but Elder Fahim saw that the momentum was not good and quickly took action.
In an instant, the rabbit's breathing became heavier, and the waveform on the electrocardiogram also slowed down slightly. It was obvious that the bleeding had been successfully stopped and his vital signs were back up. Grete breathed a sigh of relief and began to think:
Why did something go wrong?
Why, when a spell goes on, something suddenly goes wrong?
The only solution to worries is experimentation. He first picked up the rabbit, then did a B-ultrasound, and then a CT scan. Thank God, the elder's treatment does not have the function of hair growth. The shaved rabbit does not need to shave again...
"Well... the amount of ascites seems to have increased... It's normal. If there was internal bleeding just now, the blood would flow into the abdominal cavity and it should show up as ascites on the B-ultrasound..."
"The tumor... the size of the liver has indeed shrunk..." Grete called up the images stored in the meditation core, compared them before and after, and nodded:
"It shows that the targeted killing is still successful. These cells have indeed been killed... However, whether they have been completely killed, a biopsy will be done in a few days to see the results of the sampling... As for now..."
"How about it?"
Elder Fahim and Cerela, one on each side, poked their heads over to take a look. Gretel took a deep breath and shook his head:
"Wait for me to dissect and see..."
Anatomy, anatomy. The rabbit was fixed, laparotomy was performed, and one lobe of the liver with tumor was removed. While cutting, he explained to Elder Fahim:
"Don't rush to remove the internal organs. If you can't get up, it's just a knife... First, you need to free the internal organs with tumors, including many surrounding ligaments, thoracic adhesions, and abdominal adhesions. All of them need to be cut off or bluntly separated..."
"Then we cut the liver, first severing the round ligament of the liver, the falciform ligament, and the left and right triangular ligaments, and then freeing the porta hepatis, including the hepatic artery, hepatic vein, and bile duct, and ligating and cutting them to prevent bleeding from the corresponding parts. It will be reduced a lot..."
"For doctors, any guess, any examination method, X-ray, B-ultrasound, CT, MRI, are inferior to simply opening the abdomen for exploration and taking a direct look at the situation. Okay, now we see this piece of liver cyst..."
Well, that's why he wanted to study it first instead of just treating Fila right away. The beasts used for research can be disemboweled as much as they want, explored as much as they want, and cut into pieces as they want. Treat patients this way?
It's impossible. As a doctor, you have to be responsible for your patients and you can't waste the patient's life and health casually!
Grete carefully cut off the liver, held it up using a floating technique, and transferred it to the experimental table next to it. As the saying goes, the heart is separated from the belly. Seeing it with your own eyes is indeed different from guessing through the abdominal wall:
After targeted killing, the color and shape of the tumor are different from normal tumors. It was soft and soft, like a moldy orange, and water began to drip out.
Grete held the tissue tweezers transformed from the mage's hands and touched it lightly, causing the tumor's capsule to crack open on the spot. He touched a syringe and drew out a large tube of liquid. It was red and sticky, and looked like a pot of spoiled soup.
Grete took a breath and began to dissect bit by bit. After this dissection, it was discovered that the inside of the cyst was empty, and many cells had either completely shrunk or disappeared.
So, what happened to these cells after a shot of targeted killing?
He didn't have time to think about this, so he analyzed it piece by piece and dissected it bit by bit. Finally, when the intrahepatic blood vessels and bile ducts were exposed one by one, Grete let out a "yeah":
"I see!"
"What's wrong? Did you find the reason?"
Cerira jumped over to take a look. Elder Fahim and Aneri Linge, although not as excited as her, also came over quickly and stood next to Grete. Four people and eight eyes fell on the dissected cyst:
"Look here, the blood vessels and bile ducts are all pitted - this is a sign that cancer cells have invaded the blood vessels and bile ducts."
Gretel took a step back to let them see more clearly, and then used the mage's tricks to dye the tissue:
"The spell I just used killed the cancer cells at once, leaving many holes in the walls of blood vessels and bile ducts. The blood and bile inside leaked out. This rabbit is not going to die."
"this……"
Serila blinked her eyes and nodded, accepting the explanation. Elder Fahim frowned:
"Why would there be a hole after killing? These... uh, cancer cells were killed, but the bodies are still there, aren't they?"
Grete also wants to know this question. When he targeted the killing of bacteria and viruses in the past, he had never paid attention to what form the killed bacteria and viruses took, or where they went.
Is it immediately removed from the body, like an antidote?
Or is it over when the bacteria die and can no longer divide and reproduce, and the genetic chain of the virus collapses and loses activity?
These issues are not important in terms of sterilization and poisoning, as long as the disease is cured anyway. However, it is obvious that time cannot be spared. Everything that was not done before must be made up for now...
He made four smears of the fluid extracted from the cyst, and gave them to Serila, Elder Fahim, and Miss Lin Ge for observation. Finally, he kept one for himself and put it under the microscope:
"It's a mess..."
Cerira couldn't wait to get closer and take a look. He glanced at it and immediately started shouting:
"Grete, what are you looking at in such a blur? You can't even see the cells!"
"Well, you can't see it, it means the cells are dead and dissolved." Grete also stared at his microscope, observing and remembering attentively:
"Generally speaking, it's not that fast. From cell death, to cell membrane fragmentation, to cytoplasm overflow, it takes a few hours. However, after being swept by magic, it collapsed immediately..."
Apparently, magic speeds up the process. The magic swept through, and a large number of cells quickly walked to the step where the cytoplasm overflowed. As a result, the cancer cells blocking the walls of blood vessels and bile ducts disintegrate, and holes in the walls of blood vessels and bile ducts naturally leak out...
"What should we do?"
Cerira frowned, turned her head, and put her head behind Gretel's shoulder to see. Grete stepped aside without haste, made room for her, and showed off the newly prepared tissue slices:
"Cerela, freeze!"
"Eh!"
The silver dragon girl responded happily, pursed her lips and blew. A cold wind blew by, and the tumor tissue froze into ice cubes. Gretel continued slicing, staining, and looking under the microscope:
"Well... some cancer cells have not completely disintegrated... Although they have been killed, they have not yet reached the stage of cell membrane fragmentation..."
"Huh? What do you think?"
Serila squeezed forward with all her strength. Grete had no choice but to make way for her, and at the same time used [Silent Phantom] to outline the image and lecture her:
"You see, the cells under the microscope will first shrink, the cell membrane will wrinkle, and small bright spots will form under the microscope. Then, you see here, the cells will become pitted, like an octopus, right? Then, next, is Split into cellular fragments..."
"That's it..."
Cerira looked up at the image, then looked down at the eyepiece; then looked up at the image, then looked down at the eyepiece.
Elder Fahim and Miss Lin Ge stood on both sides, and it was difficult to squeeze in. They could only try to memorize the images first. When Serira has had enough and loses interest, they will line up to watch again.
Alas, I am quite old and still have to queue behind the little silver dragon. It is not easy to learn something...
It’s even harder to research something. After Grete finished giving a lecture, he squatted next to him and muttered to the incised tumor:
"So why do some cells disintegrate so quickly? Is the magic fluctuating too much? Is the output too strong? Or... how should I plug the leaks in the blood vessels?"
Ahhhhh, it’s so difficult... there are so many experiments to be done, so many ideas to be verified...
Is it possible, give me 48 hours a day...
