Chapter 919 The Magical Use of the Appendices (Subscribe)
The appendix, also known as the vermis, is a long, slender, curved blind tube.

It is located in the lower right of the abdomen, between the cecum and ileum, the root is connected to the posteromedial wall of the cecum, and the distal end is free and locked.

The appendix of an adult has an average length of seven to nine centimeters.

Appendicitis occurs when the appendix becomes blocked or infected.

About one in twenty people suffers from appendicitis, an inflammation of the appendix that causes severe abdominal pain.

If left unchecked, the appendix is ​​at risk of rupture, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. The main treatment is surgical removal of the appendix.

In the past, the appendix was once considered to be a degenerative remnant organ in the process of human evolution.

It has no important physiological functions, is useless to the human body, and may cause appendicitis. Many families even perform appendectomy for newborn babies.

However, modern medical research has shown that the appendix is ​​not useless.

It performs some unexpected beneficial functions.

For example, modern medical research shows that the appendix is ​​rich in lymphatic tissue, which participates in the body's immune function.

The lymphatic tissue of the appendix can promote the growth and reproduction of beneficial intestinal bacteria.

The findings suggest that the appendix is ​​not just useless, but part of a larger and more complex human ecosystem.

Of course, people who have had their appendix removed for reasons such as appendicitis do not need to worry.

Numerous surgical examples have also proved that removing the appendix will not cause much negative impact on the human body.

After reading the condition information of the newborn baby with congenital esophageal occlusion provided by Xiang Rong, Lin Jie thought of a new use for the appendix.

The appendix could be used to splice the failed occluded esophagus of this newborn baby.

The outer diameter of the appendix of ordinary people is between [-] centimeters and [-] centimeter; the inner diameter is even smaller, only about [-] centimeters at rest.

However, the appendix cavity of infants is funnel-shaped with a wide base.

Therefore, after feces enter the appendix cavity, it is easier to exit and less likely to be blocked, so appendicitis is less likely to occur in infants and young children.

Therefore, the inner diameter of the appendix of infants and young children is quite considerable, and the ductility of the appendix is ​​also very good.

The most important thing is that the inner wall of the appendix has mucous membrane, which can secrete liquid, can lubricate food very well, and can well act as a section of esophagus.

Lin Jie also thought that the appendix has a complete inner circular muscle and outer longitudinal muscle, and has a certain length and diameter. It seems that it can be used to transplant, replace or splice certain human pipelines.

Such as ureter, fallopian tube, bile duct, pancreatic duct...

Seeing that Lin Jie was holding a document, keeping his current posture motionless, as if he had fallen into a state of fugue, the experienced Xiang Rong immediately made a quiet gesture to Jian Jia and Guan Muhua.

After that, the three of them sat still, staring at Lin Jie with sparkling eyes.

Waiting, that is, half the time has passed.

At a certain moment after that, they saw Lin Jie's body move suddenly, as if waking up from a big dream, and his dull eyes brightened again.

Xiang Rong saw that Lin Jie had regained his sobriety, and asked eagerly, "Expert Lin, did you come up with some genius idea again?"

Lin Jie said humbly: "There are so many genius ideas!"

"I just thought of a little idea about the operation of autologous organ transplantation. Specifically, we need to use experiments and operations to verify the possibility."

Xiang Rong also understands that before the research results are confirmed, the necessary confidentiality must be required.

He didn't continue to ask, and asked: "Expert Lin, I don't ask about your inspiration just now, but when your research results come out, the paper must be published in "Clinical Medicine."

Lin Jie nodded and said, "There is no problem."

Receiving Lin Jie's promise, Xiang Rong was relieved a lot, and asked again: "Expert Lin, this baby? What do you think?"

Lin Jie handed the medical records in his hand to Jian Jia, and said, "This baby is too weak, weighing just over three kilograms, and it will be a big burden for him to undergo the second operation immediately. It might be unbearable."

"Editor Xiang, tell the baby's parents to raise the baby's weight to four kilograms, and then come to the affiliated hospital to find me."

"Just right, I'm going to Germany for a while, and I won't be back until next week."

Speaking of this, Lin Jie took a sip of water from his teacup, frowned, and said with some doubts: "Hey, why did this tea suddenly become cold..."

Jian Jia hurriedly got up, and while changing water and tea for Lin Jie, said excitedly: "Doctor Lin, it has been more than half an hour. I always thought that the epiphany and self-forgetfulness described in novels are fictional .”

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen in front of my eyes."

"Doctor Lin, you just entered a state of selflessness."

"You are really amazing, I admire you so much."

Lin Jie knew it in his heart, knowing that the thinking he put into just now took a long time.

He took a sip of hot tea, smiled casually and said, "What's so great?"

"I didn't transform into a super Saiyan like in the novel, and I didn't mutate into a super Saiyan or something. I'm still me, just thinking about a problem."

"However, you are sure and thought of a genius idea, a good way to benefit many patients."

Xiang Rong also said with some excitement: "I'm really looking forward to seeing your research paper, Expert Lin. This is the inspiration that was born under my own witness. It's very meaningful."

Lin Jie explained: "Editor Xiang, don't expect so much. I actually just thought of a topic for a master's thesis."

Xiang Rong didn't believe it at all, and insisted: "The product produced by Expert Lin must be a high-quality product!"

Seeing him like this, Lin Jie didn't bother to continue explaining.

After lunch, Xiang Rong also completed the interview, and got Lin Jie's permission to take over the operation, and left happily.

As soon as he returned to the office, Lin Jie asked Jian Jia to call Fang Hanrui, Lu Xiaoyu, and Wei Hongyang and ask them to come to the office at their convenience in the afternoon.

Ten minutes later, Fang Hanrui was the first to rush in.

"Teacher, I am always ready, here I come."

"What important tasks do you have, complicated work, just ask, I promise to complete it perfectly."

Lin Jie looked at Fang Hanrui, who kept panting, his chest heaving, and his cheeks were bright red, and asked amusedly, "You ran all the way here? Just so impatient?"

"Of course."

Fang Hanrui said with aggrieved words: "During this time, teacher, the patients you took over were either cranial nerve patients or orthopedic patients. We students in the field of general surgery are in a hurry."

"This time, I heard from Assistant Jane that Mr. Lin, you also summoned Junior Sister Lu and Junior Brother Wei. They are just like me, but they are all outsiders."

"Hey, teacher, this time, you must be picking up general surgery patients, right?"

Lin Jie didn't respond directly, but instead asked, "Have you ever written a project application report before?"

Fang Hanrui nodded and said, "I have written it. I wrote it when I applied for the project, and I also wrote it for my father."

"Teacher, do you have a new research topic?"

Lin Jie smiled and said, "Well, it's a small topic, so I can write my master's thesis."

Next, he took over a newborn baby with congenital esophageal occlusion, and prepared to use the appendix to treat it. At the same time, he also proposed the idea of ​​using the appendix to replace or splice some ureters, fallopian tubes, bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, etc., to treat corresponding diseases. , I told Fang Hanrui in general.

Fang Hanrui has been listening silently, but his eyes are getting wider and wider, and his breathing has become faster, "Damn... Fuck... This is really possible."

After swearing a few times, she said excitedly: "Teacher, how did you come up with this idea? I always think that the appendix is ​​a worthless existence that is a pity to discard."

"After you reminded me, teacher, it turns out that it can still play so many roles."

"It can be said that it is a spare part for organ transplantation that comes with the human body."

Lin Jie said with some complacency: "I have thought about the idea of ​​appendix transplantation, and it is theoretically feasible. What is needed now is to carry out animal experiments and human experiments."

"You write a project application report for me, and apply for the support funds of the Health Commission's 'Hundred Talents Program' scientific research projects."

"Also, you lead Lu Xiaoyu and Wei Hongyang to start animal experiments first. After I return from Germany, I will decide whether to conduct human experiments based on the results of animal experiments."

Fang Hanrui came to stand at attention strangely, saluted the military, and shouted: "Teacher, I promise to complete the task!"

Lin Jie looked at her and asked amusedly, "You are very active and excited today, did anything good happen?"

"Could it be that you are in love?"

"No way, I've been waiting, God dropped a boyfriend for me!"

Fang Hanrui smiled and explained: "The main reason is that I was stimulated by your research project, teacher, and I can finally show my skills under your guidance!"

Lin Jie looked at her in disbelief, and said, "If you don't want to tell, I won't ask."

"Let me remind you, you must have heard my words from Xiao Ganghao."

"I'm only in charge of your medical issues, don't bother me with other personal matters."

Fang Hanrui said with a playful smile: "We don't have the guts to bother you with personal matters. However, if there are difficult things that we can't handle, we can always ask the teacher for help, right?"

Lin Jie snorted coldly, and directly rolled his eyes at her.

At this time, Lu Xiaoyu and Wei Hongyang also arrived.

Lin Jie briefly explained the idea of ​​using the appendix in multiple ways to the two of them, and ordered them to assist Fang Hanrui to complete the animal experiment during this period...

In the evening, when Lin Jie was about to go home, he unexpectedly welcomed the visiting Slofel.

Seeing his dusty appearance, Lin Jie joked, "What important patient made you fly halfway around the world to find me? It can't be the President of the United States, right?"

Slofer said softly: "Expert Lin, I flew here this time as a lobbyist."
