The famous gymnast Sanglan’s accidental unhinged jump during the competition in the United States, along with an uncoordinated body curve to the ground, wrote a tragedy that made millions of people sigh with sorrow. A young, beautiful and athletic body had to be accompanied by a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Shortly thereafter, when many fans were still marveling at the soccer player Qu Leheng who scored three goals in a row like a godsend in the FA Cup, and eagerly looking forward to this new star giving Chinese soccer a bigger surprise in the green field, a star disappeared from the field instantly with a heart-rending crash in Shenyang. The accident of Sang Lan and Qu Leheng brought more attention to the spinal cord injury, an exceptionally cruel injury for which there is no effective treatment. Although Sanglan and Qu Leheng received the best treatment in the United States and China immediately after their injuries – perfect surgery and the latest drugs available – within the best time for spinal cord injury treatment, it did not change the fact that he or she became a member of the paraplegic team. There are no exact statistics on the number of paraplegics caused by various accidents in our country each year. Figures for the United States indicate that they have about 10,000 new paraplegics each year, and it is believed that the number of paraplegics in China is at least several times that. On those ever-expanding highways, in the construction sites, in the small coal kilns and gold mines, in the broken, dark and winding tunnels, tragedies are being created every day, and one by one, lives are being pushed into wheelchairs and bedpans by the clutches of spinal cord injury, which removes the vitality that should be shining in the sun. In the face of this grim reality, medicine is almost helpless. While spinal surgery techniques for repositioning and fixation have improved greatly in recent years, little progress has been made in the treatment of the injured spinal cord itself. The spinal cord is a continuation of the brain, if the brain is compared to the command headquarters of the human body, then the spinal cord is like a communication center, the sensory information of the limbs and the body is conveyed to the brain through the spinal cord, and the brain’s instructions are transmitted to the limbs and the body through the spinal cord to command the corresponding muscle contraction or relaxation, so that the corresponding movement occurs. Just as there are many wires in a cable, the spinal cord contains various types of nerve cells and fibers from all over the body, including sensory nerves, motor nerves and visceral plant nerves, which are closely packed together but have their own independent paths and exchange and transmission hubs in different parts. This precise anatomical structure and delicate biological functions inside the spinal cord are the basic guarantee for the body to have sensory and motor functions. However, these nerve cells and fibers are very tender and can be damaged by a small external force without protection. The spinal cord is only damaged when the body is dislocated or fractured by extraordinary external forces. The decisive factor in the recovery of spinal cord function after injury is the size of the external blow to the spinal cord, and if the spinal cord suffers a devastating local blow, resulting in total loss of biological function, it is medically called total paralysis. To date, there is no effective medical treatment for patients with total paralysis. This is because it is almost impossible to restore the delicate anatomy of the spinal cord and restore its function. However, in most cases, the spinal cord is only partially damaged or not immediately completely destroyed due to the protection of the spine, and aggressive and correct treatment may allow for maximum recovery of spinal cord function. There are three main points for the treatment of acute spinal cord injury, namely, proper transportation, timely medication and surgical treatment to release the spinal cord from compression as soon as possible. I remember that more than a decade ago a female police officer in Beijing was hit by a subway train while performing her official duties in a subway station, resulting in spinal cord injury, and it was fortunate that a passenger who knew about first aid at the scene assisted in carrying the spinal cord injury so that it did not worsen. When carrying spinal cord injury patients, should remember not to make the patient’s torso or neck arbitrary flexion and extension, should make the patient lying down, head and neck to maintain a neutral straight position, in the absence of professional transport facilities can make the patient lying down with a hard board above the plane of transport. Methylprednisolone (MP) shock therapy is the only drug therapy that is considered effective in inhibiting the process of lipid peroxidation in the injured spinal cord and reducing the secondary reactions in the spinal cord, but it does not improve the degree of primary spinal cord injury and needs to be applied within the prime time of spinal cord injury treatment – 8 hours after injury. -It should be applied within 8 hours after the injury. As for the real conditions in China, it is difficult for most patients with spinal cord injury to be treated within the best time, firstly, because it takes a long time for the patients to be transferred to the hospital, and secondly, because most of the primary hospitals or even a considerable level of hospitals are not aware enough of the emergency treatment for patients with spinal cord injury, and when the patients are examined by specialists and enter the ward after taking X-rays, CTs and MRIs in turn, it is long past the The best time to administer medication is long past. GM-1 is another drug recommended to treat spinal cord injury regardless of the time of injury, and it can effectively promote axonal growth, but its effect is limited. The Sanlans who have been treated with this drug are still confined to their wheelchairs and show people that big, heartbreaking smile. With the development of spinal surgery, surgical techniques, instruments and related equipment have been greatly developed, and surgery can be performed on such patients as soon as possible in hospitals where conditions are favorable. Current clinical reports show that early surgery allows the spinal cord to be released from compression as soon as possible, while stabilizing the spine, facilitating the recovery of the injured spinal cord, as well as the early activity and rehabilitation of the patient and reducing the occurrence of complications. Although the spinal cord injuries of Sanglan and Qu Leheng were severe, they were able to recover to their current state, which was inseparable from the timely access to surgical treatment and good post-rehabilitation training. Although medicine has made great progress, progress in the study of the exceptionally complex central nervous system has been slow, and every step of progress is so difficult that every little achievement will be exciting and gratifying, because this little progress will bring mankind closer to the understanding of its own mysteries. It can be said that without more breakthroughs in central nervous research, there will be no major improvements in the treatment of spinal cord injuries. I hope that this beautiful prophecy will grow into a fruitful forest sometime in twenty years after the scientists’ unremitting efforts, when the no-longer-young Sang-lan and Qu Leheng will be able to get up from their wheelchairs and regain the vitality God gave them after eating one of the miraculous fruits. God had once given them vitality.
