Vol 2 Chapter 2068: idiopathic osteolysis

How about you, what's the situation? Wu Hao turned to look at Xu Shenghua. Seeing that Wu Hao did not agree directly, Zhang Qinghong was a little disappointed, but he also looked at Xu Shenghua.

As for Xu Shenghua, he was a little surprised that Wu Hao didn't answer directly, but he still smiled and said, "I also have a patient here, who is quite special, a little girl."

Speaking of which, Xu Shenghua glanced at Wu Hao, and then continued: "This little girl's name is Wang Shanshan, and she is only fourteen years old this year.

She is a left-behind child, her parents are not by her side, and she has been living with her grandparents at home. Her grandparents are older, so this little girl takes care of them most of the time.

Despite this, this little girl has excellent academic performance. Every time she takes the exam, she is the first few in her age. She has also become a representative of outstanding students and participated in the summer camp activities organized by the group.

However, a year ago, due to the aging and short circuit of the wires in the house, her grandparents died in the fire, and she herself was rescued by the villagers and firefighters who came to fight the fire later.

Although he was rescued, 31% of his body was scalded, including his face, upper body, arms, etc., as well as his lungs, throat, and vocal cords.

Under the rescue of the hospital, Wang Shanshan was out of danger, but the severe burns and disfigurement made the originally cheerful little girl become reticent and even had a strong sense of inferiority.

Wang Shanshan's parents felt bad for their child, so they gave up working and took their children everywhere to seek medical treatment, hoping to cure Wang Shanshan. But after looking for a lot of places, these hospitals have expressed their incompetence.

On the one hand, the burn area is too large, on the other hand, this book is an ordinary family, and there is not so much money to pay for medical expenses. Just after completing a few skin grafts, the savings of Wang Shanshan's parents over the years have been spent.

In addition to the fire at home, it means that the family has no home now. What's more terrible is that the effect of these skin grafts is not ideal, which is undoubtedly the heaviest blow to the hopeful family.

However, Wang Shanshan's parents did not give up, but sought medical treatment while working part-time. It was eventually recommended to me by one of my students.

I also saw that this little girl was a little pitiful, so I admitted her. Coincidentally, our hospital also has public welfare projects in this area, which can exempt them from a large part of the cost.

However, compared to the huge treatment cost that this little girl can expect, the expenses that the public welfare project can exempt is not enough. So now Wang Shanshan's parents have rented a small room of 4 to 5 square meters next to the hospital, where they work to earn money while taking care of Wang Shanshan.

We also took into account the actual situation of the patient's family, exempted part of the cost as much as possible, and are also actively treating Wang Shanshan.

However, there is a problem in front of us, that is, there is no way to treat Wang Shanshan with traditional autologous skin grafting.

Because of the fire, Wang Shanshan has burns everywhere on her body, and there is very little skin that can be used. She has already used the previous skin grafts, so now one of us can't extract it from her.

There is another way, that is, allogeneic transplantation, but in this case, there will be a great rejection reaction, long-term medication is required, and the recovery effect is relatively poor. Considering that this little girl is only 14 years old and her life has just begun, we rejected this plan.

In the end, after researching and researching, I thought of you here. The emergence of your biological 3D printing technology is not a panacea to cure Wang Shanshan.

So, I'm not just begging you to come here. I hope you can give us a back door and help this little girl. "

Wu Hao also smiled and nodded when he heard the words, but did not answer directly, but looked at Wu Jiuzhi and said, "How about you?"

From Wu Jiuzhi following him, Wu Hao knew that he was by no means just curious about gossip, and he must have something to look for, so Wu Hao asked him directly.

Seeing that Wu Hao directly broke Wu Jiuzhi's little thought, he couldn't help but blushed, smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said to Wu Hao: "Uh, there is a patient, I want to find President Wu, you can ask , help me with an idea."

Oh, talk. Wu Hao turned to look at him, as did Xu Shenghua and Zhang Qinghong.

Seeing a few people looking at him, Wu Jiuzhi said with a smile, "Have you heard of idiopathic osteolysis?"

idiopathic osteolysis?

Hearing this term, Wu Hao and the others were stunned. Zhang Qinghong reacted immediately, and then said to Wu Jiuzhi: "I seem to have heard about this disease on the Internet, saying that a girl had this disease, and her thigh bones were inexplicably dissolved by more than 20 centimeters, and bone grafts were used several times. have all been dissolved.

But later I heard that the girl went to Yangcheng to seek a doctor. It is said that she has been diagnosed and found a cure. "

After listening to Zhang Qinghong's words, Wu Hao and the others also nodded. This matter seemed to be on the hot search, and they also had a vague impression.

You are right, there is such a case. Wu Jiuzhi nodded, and then spoke to the three of them: "Idiopathic osteolysis is a rare disease, and there is currently no very effective targeted treatment.

The traditional treatment method is to continuously extract bone from other parts of the body for bone grafting to fill the gap. However, this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and the newly transplanted bones will also be dissolved later.

Repeatedly, some patients may have to undergo dozens of bone grafting operations, but it is still not cured, which is very painful. "

What causes it, is it bone-eating bacteria or is it an immunodeficiency? Xu Shenghua said with interest.

Wu Jiuzhi shook his head: "At present, the pathogenesis of this disease has not been clarified in the world, so there is no very targeted treatment method, and wisdom adopts traditional treatment methods.

There is another treatment method for this disease abroad, that is, to clean up the dissolved bone residue, and then directly replace it with a metal bone for support, so that there is no need to worry about being dissolved again.

But this method also has great risks, and metal bones also bring a series of problems. And it's not a panacea, it can't solve all problems.

Take this patient my friend received as an example, a 31-year-old man who accidentally fell during a basketball game and fractured his arm and humerus.

I thought it was just an ordinary fracture, and it should be fine after the operation, but I didn't expect that the fractured radius of this patient was ablated more than two months after the nail was placed. "
