Success rate 100% Survival rate highest in the country for municipal hospitals
Blood demon, subdued in front of them
Nineteen-year-old Xiaoyu never thought that she and her family would suffer such a big test when she was less than 100 days away from the college entrance exam.
Leukemia, the “devil” that haunts her brother Jie, immediately plunged the family’s life into a darkness. However, what she didn’t expect was that leukemia, the “devil” that people talk about and are afraid of, could be cured in the First People’s Hospital in our city. Zhao Lidong, Department of Hematology, Lianyungang First People’s Hospital
Now Xiaojie has basically recovered, full of hope out of the sterile laminar flow ward to start a new life, a new life, and Xiao Yu has also been sitting confidently in the classroom, and other students like for their dreams and struggle.
Witness The exquisite medical skills behind that calmness
Leukemia, commonly known as “blood cancer”, is one of the ten most prevalent malignant tumors in China, accounting for the 6th place in the incidence of malignant tumors, with an annual incidence rate of 3-4 per 100,000. for a long time, there is no effective way to treat leukemia, relying only on conventional chemotherapy, the long-term survival rate of leukemia is less than 20%, and the cure There are only a few cases. This makes leukemia a true “cancer of cancers”. Bone marrow transplantation is a new technology developed in the past 30 years, and is the only effective means to cure leukemia, and in the First People’s Hospital, there is a group of experts and doctors and nurses who are working hard to overcome this disease.
March 17 is perhaps the most torn day for Xiaoyu’s parents. Because this day daughter Xiaoyu will be on the operating table to extract bone marrow to save the life of brother Xiaojie. Although Dr. Zhao Lidong, the chief physician of the hematology department, had repeatedly told them that the bone marrow extraction was only a minor operation and would not pose a threat to Xiao Yu’s health, let alone affect her school life, they were still hanging on to their hearts.
Everything was ready, and at 9:00 a.m., Xiao Yu was wheeled into the operating room.
After disinfection and changing into a wide dark green surgical gown …… fully armed, led by the doctor, the reporter also went into the operating room and witnessed the whole process of extracting bone marrow.
Imagine the operating room is more mysterious, bloody and scary, the operating room should have a large shadowless lamp, there are many scalpels, and some blood jars shaking around.
This is my first feeling after entering the operating room; clean, white walls immediately bring to mind the solemnity of the place; silver and white instruments seem to add to the brightness of the place; quiet, compared to the noisy environment outside the operating room, the quietness of the place is better for the medical staff to concentrate on fighting the disease.
A few operating rooms were busy with medical staff in dark green surgical gowns, and through them was operating room 5, where Xiao Yu was.
When I actually entered the operating room, I realized that the scene in front of me was different from what I had imagined, with Xiao Yu lying on the operating bed as if she was asleep.
Director Zhao bent down and whispered, “Little girl, don’t be nervous, just think of it as being tired of studying and take this opportunity to get a good night’s sleep, the surgery will be over when you wake up.”
The surgery began, the two doctors each took a steel syringe and stuck it into Xiaoyu’s waist spine like a rotary drill, while Director Zhao said, “The little girl’s body is very good, this bone is hard, and it’s still very hard to tie it up.” Then the doctor used a syringe to extract the red-red liquid from the steel syringe. Director Zhao said, “Actually, donating bone marrow is just like donating blood, it’s not scary at all.”
The drawn blood was filtered by a nurse in a funnel, which the doctor described as filtering out impurities such as fat from the blood. After the bottle was filled with crimson blood, the nurse did a good job of sealing it, wrapping it and putting it into a small bucket. It is this bucket with Xiaoyu’s crimson blood, moreover carrying everyone’s ardent hope, was sent out of the operating room to the patient Jie’s ward.
A nurse approached Xiaoyu and whispered: If you feel any discomfort, you must tell me. Xiao Yu agreed in a whisper.
Director Zhao said easily: “We conducted a full physical examination of the little girl’s body, just like the liver, A B C D E were checked. The little girl’s blood quality is very good. At this moment, her bone marrow should be slowly being fed into her brother’s body.”
The medical staff was methodically busy as another bottle of blood was delivered to Xiao Jie’s ward, followed by a third bottle. Behind their focused expressions was calmness, confidence, and exquisite medical skills.
About an hour later, the bone marrow extraction was over and Xiao Yu was wheeled out of the operating room.
“Before entering the operating room I thought it should be scary and mysterious inside. After going in and seeing the operation of the doctors, I found that in fact, bone marrow transplantation is not scary at all, and the doctors’ operations are all very cautious and reassuring.” Hearing the reporter’s words, Director Zhao smiled.
The next day, with a few hang-ups Xiaoyu went back to school, she had to work hard with her brother to win a better tomorrow.
Now Xiao Jie has come out of the sterile laminar flow ward, and he is greeted with hugs from his relatives, the beauty of regaining his health, and the bright sunshine.
Hematology is approaching the provincial key specialty
For Xiao Yu and Xiao Jie, this is the first time in their young lives that they have been subjected to such a big test. However, for the young team of the Department of Hematology of the First City Hospital, this is already the 21st bone marrow transplantation they have done.
21 cases may not seem like a lot, but the success rate is 100%, among which the five-year cumulative survival rate of allogeneic transplantation is more than 75%, which is also the first in the country’s prefectural and municipal hospitals, how easy it is to talk about such an achievement, which requires not only a sterile laminar flow ward with extremely high standards, but also the exquisite medical technology and superhuman will of medical and nursing staff.
As early as in the 1990s, the Department of Hematology of the First City Hospital was planning to carry out this advanced technology, and in 2002, the First City Hospital spent millions of yuan to build two class 100 sterile laminar flow wards, which reached the international advanced level. At the same time, the Department of Hematology has sent several groups of doctors and nurses to Tianjin Institute of Hematology and the Department of Hematology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University to study bone marrow transplantation technology in the well-known domestic blood specialists. With the foundation of equipment and talents, after a series of elaborate preparations, the Department of Hematology of the First Hospital finally completed the first sibling allogeneic bone marrow transplant in May 2004 and achieved success. This was also the starting point of the city’s attention to the resurrection of Xiao Xiang’s little patient, and created a precedent for bone marrow transplantation for leukemia in the city.
It was the first successful transplantation that greatly encouraged the experts of the Department of Hematology of the First City Hospital, who continued to forge ahead and strive for perfection. While fully mastering the bone marrow transplantation technology, in order to allow more patients to receive the transplantation and enjoy the results, based on the guaranteed treatment effect, Dr. Zhao Lidong, the chief physician of the Department of Hematology of the First City Hospital In order to enable more patients to receive transplantation and enjoy this result, on the basis of ensuring the treatment effect, Dr. Zhao Lidong, the chief physician, boldly tried to use domestic drugs instead of imported drugs, so that the transplantation drugs are basically localized, thus greatly reducing the transplantation cost, which is only about half of that of Soviet medicine. The high success rate and low cost of transplantation has become one of the main features of their transplantation and the reason for attracting many hematology patients to come to them.
Xiao Jie’s surgery cost only 110,000 yuan, which is only half of the cost of a large hospital!
Today, the Hematology Department of the First City Hospital has the ability to overcome leukemia and other blood demons. But they are not satisfied, they also aim at the domestic advanced level, there have been a number of new technologies to fill the gaps in our city, such as the development of leukemia MICM typing (morphology, immunology, cytogenetics, molecular biology), so that the city’s leukemia diagnosis rate rose to more than 99%; to induce remission of leukemia and lymphoma with the international advanced chemotherapy program, so that the remission rate of more than 80%, followed by high-dose chemotherapy Consolidation therapy has greatly improved the long-term survival rate of malignant blood diseases; detection of residual lesions of leukemia has made the treatment of leukemia more accurate and individualized, avoiding under- and over-treatment, thus further improving the long-term survival rate of leukemia, etc.
In the face of such impressive achievements, Dr. Zhao Lidong, the chief physician, calmly said, “For us, this is the starting point, not the end; it is an incentive, not a satisfaction.” The Department of Hematology of the First City Hospital always takes the concept of “building a first-class platform, constructing a first-class discipline, and creating first-class talents” as its philosophy, and keeps moving forward to a higher goal. In order to speed up the development and catch up with the first-class, the Department of Hematology of the First City Hospital joined hands with the Department of Hematology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Su University, one of the four national key disciplines of hematology, in early 2004, and established the Lianyungang Hematology Diagnosis and Treatment Center, from which the Department of Hematology has taken off. The medical staff of the Department of Hematology has benefited greatly from the rotating consultation by experts from the First Affiliated Hospital of Su University and the face-to-face communication with domestic first-class experts, which has led to a rapid rise in technical level and continuous improvement of the discipline. What’s more, the patients in Lianyungang area can enjoy the services of domestic first-class hematologists without leaving home. The Department of Hematology of the First City Hospital is approaching to the provincial key specialty and is striding forward on the road of conquering the demon of blood cancer.
