Chapter 352: Gigantism

"Boss, this is the information we have investigated..."

The next day, at the same time that Victor's investments were being exhausted again and again, Xia Xu also went outside the school after finishing his schoolwork for the day.

Yang Bowen and He Qing moved here a few days ago, and they have been investigating the situation of Cui Xinghua and Gardner's mental hospital according to his instructions recently.

"Cui Xinghua's last patient was also recuperated in Gardner?"

Xia Xu frowned slightly as he looked at some of the information that several people had investigated and visited, thoughtfully.

The root cause of Cui Xinghua's admission to the Gardner Mental Hospital was the medical accident during the last operation.

But for this matter, he himself was a bit skeptical. Although there was no absolute, a five-star surgeon should not easily have an accident.

What was performed at that time was a brain tumor resection operation, the difficulty is not low, but it is by no means a difficult operation. There are a lot of surgeons who can perform it in China. For Cui Xinghua, it should be done at will. right.

"That's right, but it was just a few months ago because of depression."

Yang Bowen was answering Xia Xu's question, and said, "If it wasn't because the boss just happened to mention Gardner, we might have ignored it."

He went to Gardner, died on Cui Xinghua's operating table in the end, and Cui Xinghua was admitted to Gardner Mental Hospital. Xia Xu would not believe that there was no contact between the two.

"Is there any data on the height and size of the deceased? Or did he have symptoms such as obesity?"

Xia Xu's heart skipped a beat.

"have."

Yang Bowen quickly pointed out the location of the data to Xia Xu.

Sure enough, Xia Xu's eyes froze quickly.

A very professional physical examination data is attached to it, which seems to be a masterpiece of the hospital, and a diagnostic report is attached at the back.

The above shows that the height of the deceased is only normal, about 1.7 meters, and there is no abnormality.

However, the body shape of the deceased was very strange.

It seems to be growing horizontally, and the appearance of the body becomes very fat, and the limbs are swollen, but it is not fat accumulation and fluid accumulation, but relatively normal body tissue.

"After joint discussion, the expert group agreed that the patient was gh adenoma, acromegaly caused by abnormal secretion of growth hormone..."

In the diagnosis report attached at the end, Xia Xu saw the diagnosis of the deceased's condition in the hospital where Cui Xinghua was at that time.

Biology is a huge field with many branches, and medicine is the most luxuriant one among them. Xia Xu doesn't know much about it, so he can only cram for the time being, take out his smart glasses, and use the Internet to search while browsing with some keywords.

gh adenoma, the official name should be growth hormone adenoma.

Due to pituitary gland lesions, tumor cells abnormally secrete a large amount of growth hormone, resulting in abnormal body development, usually swelling of limbs, body shape and hypertrophy of internal organs, that is, acromegaly.

But this acromegaly is for adults.

There is a term called epiphyseal monkey, which refers to the ossification points at both ends of the bone during bone development. The epiphyses of minors are not closed, so the bones can grow, and then increase the height, arm span, etc.

But usually around the age of teens, at most eighteen or nineteen years old, the epiphysis of a person will be completely closed, and there will be no further growth in height from then on.

And if a minor suffers from gh adenoma, or abnormal secretion of growth hormone caused by other reasons, then what happens is not acromegaly, but another symptom term that Xia Xu is somewhat familiar with.

Gigantism!

Growth hormone, as the name suggests, is used to promote the growth of bones and internal organs and other body organs and tissues.

Unclosed epiphyses, coupled with a large amount of growth hormone secretion, bring about growth in height and shape. Patients can usually grow to more than two meters, and the highest recorded record is 2.72 meters.

Close to three meters, the value does not sound exaggerated, but it is actually the height of a normal floor, even twice the height of some petite girls.

This is a real 'giant'. You must know that even the Hulk in the Marvel movies is only 2.56 meters. In the comics, it was only 1.9 meters, less than 2 meters.

"Giant, is this what you mean?"

Xia Xu felt that he had vaguely grasped the plot of "The Giant".

Gardner Psychiatric Hospital is trying to artificially produce gigantic patients in a way similar to pituitary adenoma, or is it trying to create a real giant?

In reality, there will be no situation where the body size increases but the strength remains the same. On the contrary, the truth is that when the strength increases, the quantitative change causes the qualitative change.

If a person's body size really grows to two or three meters and all body functions remain stable, then his strength will inevitably increase exponentially.

Of course, this is just an ideal state.

In fact, gigantism is not as beautiful as imagined, otherwise it would not be a disease.

It is the same as hypermemnesia. Imagination and theory are beautiful, but the actual situation is often not as expected~www.novelmt.com~Gigantism’s height and body development is ultimately due to abnormal lesions, the human body It is extremely precise, and it affects the whole body. This abnormality will bring a series of possible complications such as diabetes, joint disease, and infertility.

And in terms of physical performance, it will not be satisfactory in reality. Excessive visceral hypertrophy may affect the function of organs, and other aspects such as cardiopulmonary respiration and body weight will also become a drag.

At the beginning, the patient may be really tall and strong, but they will gradually decline, and finally become extremely weak due to various reasons, and their immunity will also become extremely low.

"If you want to create a truly stable and powerful giant human, you must first find a stable and controllable benign pituitary gland variation, and secondly, if you are performing surgery on adults, you also need to solve the problem of epiphyseal closure..."

Xia Xu narrowed his eyes.

The two conditions sound simple, but in fact they are impossible.

But was the Gardner Asylum a success?

The answer is yes.

They succeeded, at least more than half of the success, otherwise there would be no such "giant plot."

"First of all, it is certain that they have mastered the technology of artificially manufacturing or transplanting this GH adenoma..."

"Secondly, Gardner should be experimenting with patients now, trying to find the most perfect diseased gland..."

"Whether the problem of epiphyseal closure has been solved is temporarily uncertain, but the patients I saw last time were all hypertrophy, and there was no outstanding height. It is likely that there is no..."

Xia Xu's thoughts were flying, and he quickly sorted out the plot of "The Giant".

But in this way, Cui Xinghua's affairs should not be rushed. Perhaps the best way to steadily obtain this giant gland technology is to follow the original plot.
