Chapter 576 Feces Capsules

The patient was stunned by Director Zou's words, and stared blankly at the short, drooling Director Zou.

Is he serious!

Stool capsules?As the name suggests... If I understand correctly, I want to eat my own shit? !
Is he really not joking?
……

In the review room.

The guests and the bald host were also taken aback by Director Zou's words.

The bald host tilted his mouth and looked at Professor Shen.

"Shen...Mr. Shen." The bald host was obviously stimulated to some extent, he stammered, "Is the feces capsule a homonym? I heard it wrong? It should be the resolution."

"No, feces means poop." Professor Shen said lightly.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The atmosphere in the review room was a bit weird and awkward.

Professor Shen knew that this matter was not limited to laymen, and even some large top-tier hospitals that ranked above [-] in the country did not carry out it, so he began to explain.

"Clostridium difficile is an obligate anaerobic bacterium of the genus Clostridium, which is very sensitive to oxygen and difficult to isolate and culture, so the first researchers gave a simple and crude name-Clostridium difficile.

Clostridium difficile was first discovered in 1935. In 1977, it was found to be related to pseudomembranous colitis caused by long-term clinical use of certain antibiotics. Since then, it has been paid attention to. "

"The production of Clostridium difficile is related to the long-term heavy use of antibiotics."

"Mr. Shen, is that what everyone said about the abuse of antibiotics in hospitals?" a guest asked.

The bald host glared at him unhappily, giving enough hints.

If you really can't speak, how can you scold a bald man in front of a monk?

"Abuse of antibiotics." Professor Shen didn't care too much, he smiled slightly, "Antibiotics are most abused in the animal husbandry industry, but public opinion...hahaha, let alone this, we need clinical pharmacy approval for any antibiotics we use clinically, troublesome very."

"Mr. Shen, you continue to talk about the stool capsule." The bald host brought the topic back and continued to control the scene.

"Approximately 50 percent of infants aged 12 months have C. difficile in their gut, and children older than 2 years have a prevalence of approximately 3 percent, but C. difficile is less frequent in healthy adults."

"This patient has been treated with antibiotics for a long time, so Clostridium difficile appeared in the intestinal tract. The diagnosis speed of the First Affiliated Hospital is very fast, which is quite good." Professor Shen praised, "This is a diagnosis. Next, let's talk about feces. capsule."

"Fecal transplantation, also known as fecal microbiota transplantation" fecal microbiota transplantation", is to transplant the functional flora in the feces of healthy people into the gastrointestinal tract of patients, rebuild the intestinal flora with normal functions, and realize the treatment of intestinal and extraintestinal diseases .

Other names are "gut microbiota transplantation" or "gut microecology transplantation". "

"..." The bald host was slightly taken aback.

His expression was very hard, like a simple and rough Clostridium difficile all over his face.

"Mr. Shen, you mean to eat other people's poop?" a guest asked.

"That's what it means." Professor Shen smiled. "Actually, the main ingredients of many medicines cannot be detailed. For example, Ye Mingsha, for example...cough cough, for example, the Kangfuxin solution commonly used in clinical practice."

"I know this, Periplaneta americana." The bald host tried his best to ease the atmosphere in the comment room, "During the epidemic a few years ago, many people had the reaction of swallowing razor blades, and drinking the new rehabilitation solution was very effective. But Some of my friends said it was cockroach juice, and they would not drink it even if they died.”

"Hahaha." Professor Shen smiled, "Fecal capsules are another matter. Thousands of patients around the world have received fecal microbiota transplantation treatment, and the United States has developed the fastest in this area. Some institutions have established similar blood banks. fecal bank to serve as a support platform for this therapeutic approach."

"The shit bank..."

"The shit bank..."

Professor Shen's words were astonishing, and the bald host and guests were speechless.The bald host with seasoned experience and strong ability to save the scene didn't know how to continue.

In fact, he does not reject the topic of excrement, urine and fart, after all, eating, drinking and sleeping is a major event in life.But the term "stool bank" was beyond the understanding of the bald host, and he didn't know what to say at all.

"Frozen fecal matter encapsulated in capsules is useful in the treatment of Clostridium difficile infection, new findings published in JAMA show.

1.6克的合成药丸将与传统的排泄物移植技术一样安全和有效。在8周内，20名患者中18名，服用30或60粒大便药丸后腹泻完全缓解。”

"Of course, I know it's disgusting."

Professor Shen glanced at the bald host and the guests present, smiled slightly, and explained.

"This sounds very disgusting, but in principle, human feces are excrement from the human body, and the main component is actually bacteria.

Current research proves that the function of intestinal bacteria is very important, and some scholars even believe that the intestinal flora is an important organ of the human body, so logically speaking, transplanting stool from normal healthy people to patients is very similar to organ transplantation idea. "

"Intestinal flora belong to organs?" Maomao whispered.

"A metaphor, a metaphor, of course it won't be a real organ." Professor Shen said, "But the production and clinical application of feces capsules have been carried out in China. Although there is no stool bank, as far as I know, the First Affiliated Hospital of Hangzhou Medical University should Capable of making fresh frozen poo capsules."

"..."

fresh...

frozen……

It was the first time for the guests present to associate these two words with feces, and for a while, they couldn't accept it at all.

"Antibiotics can cause intestinal flora disorder, and it is necessary to rebuild the intestinal flora. To put it bluntly-eating feces is the best way. In nature, the intestinal flora of many young herbivores is passed through the excrement of the practical mother. built."

……

……

In the single room of the barbecue, Director Liu sighed.

"Old Bai, when will our hospital have similar equipment?"

"Impossible. It requires a low temperature of more than 100 degrees below zero. You can't just put a piece of shit in it and eat it." Director Bai obviously knew about this, and he said a little unhappy.

"Have you submitted an application?" Director Liu knew Director Bai very well, and when he saw that he was unhappy, he guessed why.

"I asked the gastroenterology department to mention it, but it was not approved because the equipment was too expensive." Director Bai said.

"It's a good thing, will it be expensive?" Director Liu asked a strange question.

"It should be very expensive if our hospital first enters, but it will be much cheaper if it is developed. For example, in the United States, it is 40 dollars a piece of shit."

"It's disgusting, you can't be more polite." Director Liu frowned.

"You, a urologist, a sewer man, tell me to be gentle?"

"We're going through a part of the sewer, and you're talking about gastrointestinal surgery and anorectal surgery."
