Doctor Peerless

Chapter 60 Guidance
Old Chen asked if it was hereditary?
Grandpa couldn't answer.

From a scientific point of view, the answer is definitely no, but Chen's mother and aunt both have a history of nasopharyngeal cancer, and the prevalence of family members is a bit ridiculously high.

After all, Zhou Shouming is not a first-line doctor. Although the old man upholds the attitude of "live and learn", he is not comprehensive enough in terms of information contact, and his position represents the level of contact...

With decades of experience in traditional Chinese medicine, the dialectical ability of medical skills must be very strong. Regardless of the fact that nasopharyngeal cancer patients are mainly concentrated in coastal areas such as Guangdong, Guangxi and Dafu, the base of cancer patients that only my grandfather can contact is pitifully small. Talk about diagnosis and treatment experience?No matter how studious my grandfather was, he would never take the initiative to delve into the medical research report of a certain disease.

Zhou Shouming looked at his grandson, knowing that he would not be aimless, so he asked: "Do you know something about this? There must be a basis for saying it, and you can't just talk about it."

Zhou Sheng nodded, organized his words a bit, and said what he knew: "Nasopharyngeal cancer is mainly concentrated in the south, and the prevalence rate in the south is higher than that in the north, and in the south, the incidence rate in coastal areas is higher than that in southern and western Hunan. There are Guangdong, Guangxi and Dafu in the coastal area, and the prevalence rate is ranked from bottom to top, Dafu is the lowest, Lingxi is second, and Lingnan is in the first place."

"The so-called heredity has such a saying, but it is not the direct genetic inheritance of cancer cells. That is to say, the parents are sick and will not be directly transmitted to the next generation. What is inherited? Susceptibility, easy to be infected. "

"In addition, the yellow race is the main group of patients, and the prevalence rate of whites is extremely low. Some people have done a special survey. In foreign countries, 80% of nasopharyngeal cancer patients come from overseas Chinese. Studies have proved that the prevalence rate has not decreased after immigration."

"In the survey of white people immigrating to Southeast Asia, there is also a rising trend in the prevalence rate, which has increased by 60.00%."

Some people may wonder why there are no blacks in the survey components?
Although blacks are distributed in various countries, the largest base is still from Africa. Africa is the place with the lowest prevalence of various diseases and the lowest treatment rate. The medical system is extremely backward. If black brothers are added to the statistical data, the data deviation will be too large .

Fortunately, Grandpa and Mr. Chen didn't ask about it, and they only focused on the prevalence rate.

"To sum up the above two points, we can draw the results of genetic susceptibility and geographical concentration, and the increase in the prevalence of white people who migrate to Southeast Asia actually points to environmental and dietary factors."

"Old Chen, I don't know if you have heard that 'salted fish' is the main culprit of nasopharyngeal cancer?"

Talking about nasopharyngeal cancer, if you want to talk about faith in fate, that would be ridiculous.

From the perspective of morbidity, doesn't that mean that the life of northerners is much better than that of southerners?Lao Guang is simply a sad reminder, the "son of nasopharyngeal cancer" chosen by God.

So in the final analysis, the origin of disease is inseparable from living habits and customs.

Anyone who has been to the south knows how prosperous the southern labor market is. All kinds of seafood are the most common ones, and the hard salted fish exudes a strong salty taste. It costs seven to eighty yuan a catty.

If someone has been to the islands around Laoguang, he must have a deep impression of this kind of work market. There are mountains of salted fish all over the street, red, green, black, big and small.

After the development of the tourism industry, the biggest increase in the income of the islanders is not folk customs and catering, but the sale of such dry goods. Outsiders can't imagine how much Lao Guang loves salted fish.

Put the rice in the pot, cut a piece of salted fish and put it on the plate before covering the lid, spread shredded ginger under the salted fish, drizzle with cooking oil, and steam it with the rice. A family of three can eat a pot of rice with salted fish, the only The side dish is just a pot of boiling vegetable soup.

Regional eating habits are an important reason for the increase in the rate of large-scale diseases.

Mr. Chen nodded and wrote: "It turned out that I was poor and couldn't afford food. Every family used salted fish for dinner. After I got sick, the doctor told me not to eat it. The patients also said that salted fish causes cancer."

Yes.

The year before last, 'salted fish' had been listed as one of the World Health Organization's carcinogens. There are three types of carcinogens——

Three types of carcinogens, carcinogenic ingredients research, is not yet clear, but there are risks.

Class II carcinogens have the risk of causing cancer, but do not necessarily cause cancer.

A class of carcinogens, which clearly shows that the probability of carcinogenicity is greatly increased.

The most ironic bit...

The 'salted fish' suffix also has a special label Chinese-style.

What do you mean?
Chinese-style salted fish, in fact, is more accurate to say Cantonese-style salted fish.

Along with it, betel nuts, which everyone is familiar with, are both food carcinogens. It is really hard to imagine that these two types of things are the best-selling commodities for several identities in the south, radiating hundreds of millions of people.

Zhou Shouming was a little stunned: "So, the disease is still related to the eating and living habits of the group. The ancestors are right, the disease comes from the mouth."

The eating habits of a family are necessarily the same.

There are also scientific research results that show that the prevalence rate of the same type in the same family is very high, and living habits and eating habits are the main reasons for all this.

Old Chen looked blankly at Zhou Sheng, and the topic was over. Although he knew the basics of nasopharyngeal cancer, the problem was that it didn't seem to have any direct connection with his condition. His current diet was already very good.

Does the so-called family medical history have anything to do with him?

Old Chen is thinking...

Chen Jiali came back, carrying a plastic bag in his hand, and bought a lot of warm hot drinks.

Several people turned their eyes, and saw that his nostrils were stuffed with paper balls, and his face was unhappy. Seeing everyone looking at him, he said helplessly: "Oh, I have a nosebleed, it's embarrassing, there are always so many times a month ..."

Chen Lao's eyes suddenly became deep, as if he was deep in thought.

The same is true for Zhou Shouming, staring at this Boss Chen, and a clue emerged.

Zhou Sheng's heart rate increased, and he could feel the change in the atmosphere. After talking so much, he diverted the topic, in order to get Grandpa and Old Chen's idea?

Susceptible people, susceptible races, come from susceptible areas, and have susceptible eating habits.

Also, he had a nosebleed.

There are always so many times in a month!

"You said, you have nosebleeds many times a month?" Zhou Shouming asked suddenly.

Chen Jiali nodded: "Not much, maybe two or three times. Do you know about herbal tea? We have it in the south, but not in Qinzhong. Nosebleeds are easy to get when the heat is hot."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen was panting desperately, and the endotracheal intubation continued to make a wheezing sound. He wanted to speak anxiously, and he raised his fingers and kept waving at Zhou Shouming and his son.

Zhou Shouming took a deep breath, he felt that it must not be such a coincidence, but after talking so much just now, it seemed that a shadow was cast over his heart.

Grandpa stepped forward and pulled the paper ball off Chen Jiali's nostril.

"Flashlight, turn on the light!"

Zhou Yisheng quickly took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight and handed it over. Grandpa pushed Chen Jiali's chin to make him look up.

Chen Jiali was dumbfounded.

He wanted to exclaim in surprise, but he didn't dare to move. Mr. Zhou's expression was too serious.

Prenasal examination is the easiest way to diagnose nasal diseases.

When Grandpa saw this, his expression became more serious, and he pinched Chen Jiali's nose: "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts."

"I said inside the nasal cavity, does it hurt? Not outside the nose."

"I don't know." Chen Jiali didn't know what the old man wanted to ask, and he didn't know what kind of pain the so-called pain was. He was completely surrounded.

Grandpa took a deep breath and shook his head: "Go and check, there is an abscess at the bleeding point, if it doesn't hurt, it's not a boil caused by getting angry."

Spontaneous boils are caused by burning and can be very painful when they come out.

As for Chen Jiali, the abscess had already caused intranasal bleeding, and the fact that Grandpa pressed him deliberately did not know whether it hurt or not, which is enough to explain the problem.

Grandpa looked at Old Chen: "Let's take a moment to deal with the matter of the old brother, let's figure out your son's problem first."
