Chairman Mao Zedong wrote “In Memory of Bai Qiu’en”, which made the Canadian surgeon a household name, and if he wrote “In Memory of Ke Lihua”, the Indian surgeon would also be engraved in China. Because they are not distinguished from each other, they are the same, they are the same – both were international communist fighters, both were surgeons, both volunteered to support China’s anti-Japanese battlefield, both served the Jinchaji Eighth Route Army, and both died in Tang County, Hebei Province. The only difference is that Bai Qiu’en died of sepsis without medicine and Ke Lihua died of epileptic seizures without medical treatment. Epilepsy is commonly known as “goat’s horn”. Seizures: foaming at the mouth, eyelids rolled up, limbs twitching, loss of consciousness. Seizure triggers: sound and light stimulation, grief, happiness and anger. Frequency: once a year, once a month, once a week, several times a day. Causes of seizures: abnormal discharge of brain waves in the human brain. Consequence of seizure: casualties caused by bruises, burns, drowning, falls, tongue bites, asphyxiation, car accidents, etc. Treatment: Oral administration of sodium valproate, levetiracetam and other drugs. Treatment effect: It can be controlled, not cured. Control range: can reach 70%, another 30% of the country about 3 million patients drug control is ineffective, the use of surgical treatment of epilepsy has been a dream of doctors. Case recap A college student, Xinxin (pseudonym), started to develop epilepsy symptoms since her sophomore year. After graduation, she found a job and was fired because of her seizures, which were soon detected by her employer. Since then, Xinxin has become a “squid roll” and has been fired by many units, and her work and relationship failures have turned her into a violent person, and in order to “not get sick”, she takes overdoses of medication. After the drug poisoning, liver and kidney damage, anemia and hair loss, a vicious circle, the abyss of hell. A thousand thunderbolts opened up the new world, and Yang Zhongxu was found in the crowd. Her parents brought Xinxin to the neurosurgery department of the Fourth Central Hospital, where Dr. Zhongxu Yang, MD, carefully evaluated her with intracranial electrode detection and 24-hour 128-lead video EEG monitoring, locked the location of the epileptic foci, and formulated an individual surgical plan. The temporal lobe lesion, amygdala and sclerotic hippocampus were removed one by one under a shadowless lamp and under a high-powered microscope until no sign of abnormal brain wave discharge was monitored. The surgery was light and easy, and the patient was cured with ease. Dong Fox is straight and realistic. Yang Zhongxu confessed: “Surgery is not a panacea, epilepsy surgery has its own indications: in the drug control is not ideal, the average number of seizures per year in more than once a month; the history of the disease must be more than two years; high dose or a variety of anti-epileptic drugs in combination, but the patient can not tolerate the serious toxic side effects of the drug or a clear intracranial lesion of symptomatic epilepsy is suitable for surgical treatment. The main surgical methods are: cerebral cortical resection of epileptic lesions; anterior temporal lobectomy; selective hippocampal and amygdala resection; corpus callosotomy; cerebral hemisphere resection and subtotal resection; multiple subchondral transection, and so on.” The Sound of the Rightful Beginning The Sound of the Rightful Beginning, Jiu Jiu Jian Yu Xing. Yang Zhongxu was born in Yuzhou, Henan Province, and studied and worked in Beijing Tiantan Hospital. In 2003, he successfully established a model of temporal lobe epilepsy using stereotactic techniques for the first time in China, and defined the concentration and dose of hydroxybenzoic acid and the coordinates of the stereotactic target. The thesis was published in the Chinese Medical Journal in 2004, and the model has since been widely used in hospitals and research institutes in China. He has improved the hemispherectomy for intractable epilepsy, which was published in the Chinese Journal of Surgery in 2003 and won the “Wang Zhonglian Medical Award”. He has successfully treated more than 2,000 cases of various brain diseases, half of which are intractable epilepsy. He has combined computer technology, neurophysiological technology and cellular molecular biology technology with neurosurgery, and pioneered the Sandwich repair and reconstruction technique, which is clinically applied to the repair and functional reconstruction of skull defects combined with intractable epilepsy and neurological dysfunction after craniocerebral injury. In 2001, with the financial support of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, he proposed the concept of neural stem cell transplantation for temporal lobe epilepsy for the first time in the world and successfully validated it, and received the award from the President of the World Anti-Epilepsy League at the first Beijing International Epilepsy Forum in 2004. Currently, he has applied for a grant from the Tianjin Natural Science Foundation to conduct more in-depth research, which will take surgical treatment of epilepsy to a new pinnacle. A Common Call In the ward of the Department of Brain in the Inpatient Building of the Fourth Central Hospital, the reporter interviewed Dang Wei (a pseudonym), a migrant worker who had just come to Tianjin from the provinces to seek medical treatment, and who developed epileptic symptoms a few years later after being bumped on the head while playing as a child. The typical symptom is loss of consciousness when he eats. When you go out to work, you can’t not eat. If you don’t eat, you will lose consciousness when you eat. Either the hot soup and noodles burned his feet, or his tongue bit itself. Want to eat dare not eat, do not eat and must eat, their own embarrassment, themselves and their own is so difficult, the city of worry is difficult to solve, the pressure invisible. The young man was tortured to yellow and thin, look dull. Yang Zhongxu understood the patient’s pain too well, he told the young man, as long as he passed the test evaluation, he would soon arrange for surgery. The young man’s gloomy gaze flashed a glimmer of light and returned to life, rippling silently. Reshape dignity, the great doctor is sincere. This is the common call between doctors and patients, the journey of the same ……
