I can see the status bar

Chapter 775 New Difficulties

Imaging evidence cannot be falsified, and Luo Ge himself has ruled out the possibility of system noise or imaging errors.

There is no prompt in the status bar, which is suspicious.But this doubt can only be resolved by Sun Lien himself.What the team was able to solve was another question.

What the hell is this thing.

Intracerebral tumors are not uncommon. According to the pathological nature, there are seven types including glioma, meningioma, gland tumor, schwannomas, congenital tumors and other rare tumors and metastases.

From the analysis of the distribution area of ​​these lesions that Rogo found and disappeared after a short period of time, the possibility of glioblastoma is relatively high-although this does not explain why they disappear naturally after appearing.

There is a possibility that tumors will heal themselves, although the odds are so remote that they amount to a miracle.Is it possible to heal itself?Sun Lien frowned, holding the documents in his left hand, and dragging Brother Luo with his right hand, he returned to the office of the first diagnostic team.

"Tang Min, there is something special." After calling all the doctors in the diagnostic team, Sun Lien held a meeting in the diagnostic team in the office. "Brother Luo, please introduce the situation to everyone."

Luo Sanguan didn't have any other opinions, so he followed Sun Lien's request and honestly began to talk about his discoveries.Sun Li'en continued to lower his head and meditate.

The human immune system has the ability to remove abnormal cells.And this ability to clear cells is not weak.Cells in the human body divide every day.After some abnormalities appear in the division process, the cells that have unlimited division ability, are easy to detach and transfer from other cells, and are also capable of differentiation are often called cancer cells.

Every human body produces cancer cells during cell division.But not everyone will get cancer - that's because the body's immune system is at work.When the number of cancer cells falls below a certain level, the immune system can clear them all out to prevent these abnormal cells that are fast and have no upper limit of division from affecting the normal functioning of the human body.

But this is defense at the cellular level.Once the cancer cells have expanded to the size of "5mm" that can be seen by MRI, it becomes almost impossible to solve them only by the body's own immune system.On the one hand, cancer cells suppress and escape the attack of the immune system through various mutations.On the other hand, they have also exceeded the limit that NK cells can handle-cancer cells proliferate extremely fast, a large number of cancer cells multiply rapidly, and the number of new cancer cells every day has exceeded the upper limit that the normal human immune system can handle .

After a dynamic balance system is broken, the whole system will fall into a rapid imbalance.The rampant proliferation of cancer cells and normal human tissue competes for oxygen and nutrients, while the expanding tumor compresses and hinders the normal work of other organs... This is the main threat faced by cancer patients.

So...how did Tang Min solve this threat?Sun Li'en knew very well that as a doctor, they had not given Tang Min any clinically meaningful treatment during the previous period.It must be Tang Min himself who can solve the threat—it can't be the bag of mannitol that miraculously cured the cancer, right?Mannitol fights cancer... the credibility of this is no higher than qigong fights cancer.

There has been little progress in this direction of thinking.Sun Lien decided to think about it in a different direction.He returned his attention to the glue block in his hand. The imaging accuracy of MRI is 5mm, which is determined by the physical characteristics of MRI.So...why didn't the doctors in the imaging department find this lesion a few days ago?

After dismantling the pieces of glue one by one, Sun Lien immediately discovered the crux of the problem. The reason why Luo Ge cut these films and pasted them together was also because of this problem—the low signal in these occupying areas is not strong.In terms that normal people can understand, the difference in water content between them and the surrounding brain tissue is not too great.If it weren't for the superposition of multiple images to artificially increase some contrast, it would be almost impossible to identify these lesions with the naked eye.

This seems to be a direction worthy of further investigation.At this moment, Luo Sanguan basically finished his report, and Sun Lien took over the conversation very smoothly.

"First of all, to discuss what the lesion is, we must first clarify the nature of the lesion." Sun Lien stood up, holding coffee, and said to the colleagues around him, "It should first be a disease with a higher water content than the surrounding area. High lesions - I think everyone should have no objection to this."

Xu Yourong nodded, and then added, "Judging from the blurred border, the possibility of malignant lesions is relatively high."

"Malignant tumors, this is a direction of discussion." Sun Lien turned around and wrote this inference on the whiteboard in the office. "Is there any other possibility?"

"Maybe it's an ischemic lesion, too?" Dr. Brunn suggested. "I've seen some patients with plaque-like low-intensity shadows with poorly defined borders—all of them were finally confirmed to be ischemic lesions."

"Ischemia is also a direction that needs to be considered." Sun Lien is more willing to believe that these low-signal shadows are formed by short-term ischemia than that the tumor disappears by itself.After all, it is much easier to recanalize blood vessels than to destroy cancer cells.

Yuan Pingan frowned and said, "This lesion did not appear before, it was newly developed after admission. So it must not be a congenital abnormality..." He shook his head, "It can't be the result of your bag of mannitol, Dr. Sun, right? ?”

"The time is not right." Sun Li'en sighed, if it was really the result of mannitol, he would feel relieved. "A total of four new hairs, only the first one appeared soon after the use of mannitol. The other three all appeared after the disappearance of the first area. This timing is not right."

"If it's due to insufficient blood supply...then why did it disappear on its own?" The other doctors in the group seemed to disagree with Luo Ge and Xu Yourong's hypothesis of "malignant lesions".Zhou Ce started to ask about the lack of blood supply, "Because the tiny arteries in the brain spasm and cause ischemia, and after the spasm resolves itself, the ischemic focus completely disappears?"

This is an inference that seems most likely at present, but is actually very untenable.Luo Ge shook his head directly, "If this is an ischemic focus, then the ischemic time must have exceeded 48 hours. The brain tissue is ischemic for a long time, and the damage is irreversible—how can it be absorbed?"

Everyone discussed for a while, but still couldn't talk about why.In the end, everyone could only put down their voices together, and looked at Sun Lien with a look of help.

"No matter how unbelievable the answer is, after excluding all other answers, the last possibility is the answer." Sun Li'en said after pondering for a moment, "Could it...is it really a tumor?"
