Chapter 869 Marfan Syndrome
Xu Qiu was more interested.
He looked at the other party.
Tu Zekai said with some pride: "We can get Huining's equipment, and it is currently used by top pharmaceutical companies!"
Hearing this, Xu Qiu's face showed a trace of surprise.
When he developed Linhai small blood vessels, he used various equipment that was eliminated by foreign countries. These antiques were moved by Yang Chenxi from his artificial blood vessel industrial park. There is only one set in the country.
The same is true for Qixing tablets.
The monopoly of the pharmaceutical industry by countries such as Meiguo is not only patents, technology, raw material processes, etc., but also equipment.
At the beginning of last year, the Daxia government gave full support to the Qixing tablets, and the equipment that could be taken out was the equipment that Huining had used three or four years ago.
Others have already used semi-automatic rifles, but they are still thinking about bolt-action rifles. The gap can be imagined.
Tu Zekai continued: "The 1 billion yuan of Jiade Medical's investment in Huining is only a part of Gan Anning. In short, Jiade Medical can take out pharmaceutical equipment that the government cannot give!"
Xu Qiu looked at the other party deeply.
He is a very shrewd man...
Now he really needs to think carefully about whether he should ask Tu Zekai to join him if there are new drugs to be developed in the future.
...
This meal was very fruitful for Xu Qiu.
He finally saw the real ambition and hidden strength of Jiade Medical.
However, unfortunately, Xu Qiu really did not have the idea of developing new drugs.
In other words, the benefits are not proportional to the efforts!
The Seven Star Tablets was an accident. Xu Qiu happened to discover a new mechanism of liver cancer, and this new mechanism happened to have the possibility of targeted treatment. Xu Qiu happened to select several targets...
Countless coincidences led to the creation of the Seven Star Tablets.
It is very unlikely to replicate this miracle.
Pharmaceuticals are not just about cutting off the tumor with surgery. The steps and links involved are too complicated. For Xu Qiu, if he wants to develop a drug, the normal time should be about five years.
And it is five years of full commitment.
With five years, he can do more meaningful things instead of just making a new drug.
…
In the next few days, Xu Qiu regularly made rounds on Fang Jiajia.
The postoperative ultrasound showed that the fetal blood flow had gradually returned to normal, and the abnormal arteriovenous aneurysm was supplying less and less blood.
The good news is that over time, the enlarged heart of the fetus is slowly returning to normal.
Thirty weeks is a wonderful time node.
Once there is a problem with the fetus, if it is not dealt with in time, it will leave lifelong sequelae.
But if it can be intervened as soon as possible, serious diseases may be able to be reversed.
For adults, this kind of heart disease that has already occurred can only be cured at best. For example, balloon angioplasty is performed for mitral stenosis. From the outside, it looks the same as ordinary people, and the heart function has roughly returned to normal, but it is just a stent. The reality of mitral stenosis cannot be changed.
But for the fetus, this is not the case.
Relying on its own continued development, after the Galenic vein malformation is resolved, the cardiovascular blood supply is restored and self-repair is completed...
This is exactly why Xu Qiu wants to do this operation.
Unborn fetuses have infinite possibilities, and they should not be sentenced to death before their lives begin.
"Have you felt uncomfortable these days?"
In the ward, Xu Qiu, who was doing morning rounds, asked as usual.
Fang Jiajia was about to shake her head, but suddenly remembered something, rubbed her chest, and said, "It's a bit stuffy here. I always feel that it's more difficult to breathe these two days."
"Chest tightness... Do you feel that breathing is difficult?" Xu Qiu asked.
In the late pregnancy, the uterus enlarges and the diaphragm rises, and lung activity will be greatly restricted.
In this case, some pregnant women will suddenly feel that their breathing is not smooth.
Fang Jiajia thought for a while and said, "It's not very difficult, just a little stuffy sometimes... Now it's fine again!"
"I'll arrange a heart ultrasound for you." Xu Qiu said.
For pregnant women in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, any suspicious symptoms should be highly vigilant.
Moreover, in addition to the fetal Galenic vein malformation, Fang Jiajia herself is not without any problems.
She did not have diabetes before, and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes in the 19th week of pregnancy.
In addition, the obstetrics department also gave a diagnosis of low-lying placenta anterior.
However, these are not the key points.
The key point is that Fang Jiajia herself is a patient with Marfan syndrome.
This is a congenital hereditary connective tissue disease that affects the connective tissue of the whole body, including bones, ligaments, eyes, cardiovascular, etc. Most patients are damaged in the cardiovascular system, bones, etc.
It is also called limb slenderness.
As the name suggests, the limbs of patients are generally very slender.
This is related to the pathogenesis of Marfan syndrome.
There is a component called cellulose in the human body, which is closely related to the formation of microfibrils and elastic fibers. It is widely distributed in the aorta, suspensory ligaments and periosteum of the human body.
The elasticity of blood vessels, the toughness of ligaments, etc. are inseparable from cellulose.
Patients with Marfan syndrome often have abnormalities in cellulose. In this case, all kinds of connective tissues composed of it will be overstretched.
It's like loose skin with age.
When the intima of the aorta relaxes, it will expand, and the blood vessels will become thinner and more fragile.
The lens becomes displaced.
When placed on the bones, abnormal connective tissue covers the surface of the periosteum, providing a reaction force during the growth process. When the brittleness of the periosteum increases, the bones will grow in the opposite direction.
This is the fundamental reason why the limbs are slender and even resemble stick figures in severe cases.
This is also the reason why Fang Jiajia has been trying to get pregnant for seven years without success.
In fact, the mortality rate of patients with Marfan syndrome is very high. In addition, the disease is hereditary, so doctors generally do not recommend pregnancy. After all, a slight accident may cost two lives.
However, Fang Jiajia is considered to be a very mild patient with Marfan syndrome.
Even Xu Qiu did not realize that Fang Jiajia was a patient with Marfan syndrome during the time when the other party entered the clinic...
It was not until the subsequent hospitalization examination and review of the previous medical records that he discovered this.
Finally, I understand why Fang Jiajia cherishes this child.
She finally got pregnant with great difficulty. When she went to the prenatal checkup at 15 weeks of pregnancy, it was confirmed that the child did not inherit her Marfan syndrome or other genetic diseases. How could she give up easily?
Under these circumstances, Xu Qiu had to be cautious about all of Fang Jiajia's discomfort symptoms.
...
In the afternoon, Fang Jiajia's heart ultrasound results came out.
No problems were found!
Seeing this result, Xu Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.
