Chapter 1243: Chapter 954: Eradicating Ignorance_3

Although listening to Xu Zhiliang speak was difficult, everyone had gotten used to his stuttering, so it wasn’t a big deal. Especially for Zhang Lin, who initially almost had a myocardial infarction listening to Xu Zhiliang speak but gradually adapted to it. In fact, he would feel a bit awkward if Xu Zhiliang suddenly stopped stuttering one day.

"So we must first use drugs like zoledronic acid or denosumab that prevent bone resorption to increase bone density before we can proceed with further treatment," Dr. Jin said, focusing on the X-rays projected.

"Ilizarov’s theory of bone traction is itself a stimulus for bone growth. Can it stimulate bone growth in patients with this bone dissolution syndrome? If it can, it would act to inhibit bone resorption and prolong the life of the bone," said.

Song Zimo’s thoughts broadened further; in fact, questioning, criticism, and debate are the spirit of academia. Without these, there would be no academic progress; the essence of truth becomes clearer through debate.

"Everyone always struggles to find suitable topics, but isn’t the topic right in front of us now? If Ilizarov’s technique can successfully treat bone dissolution syndrome, we have found a new method for treating it," Yang Ping loved such debates among everyone. If everyone remained silent and lifeless, it would be quite dull.

"Does the professor mean bone dissolution syndrome?"

After all, Old Jin’s diagnosis was arrived at through exclusion, not direct diagnosis, and it was a descriptive diagnosis, not an etiological one, so he couldn’t be completely certain.

"Among the known diseases, only this one can explain it. We can perform bone biopsy on the patient to take bone tissue for pathological examination, where we can see a rich growth of blood sinusoidal capillary fibrous tissue and also observe lymphocyte infiltration or osteoclasts, which have certain characteristic features," said.

Song Zimo immediately added, "The increase of vascular endothelial factor in the blood may also be indicative, but the current supporting evidence is still insufficient; however, we can test it nonetheless."

That is the difference.

Zhang Lin and Little Five had a hard time keeping up with their pace, lacking relevant knowledge in their minds. Their education hadn’t reached this stage, and they hadn’t systematically studied or researched rare diseases. Currently, their approach to diagnosing rare diseases was akin to a blind cat stumbling upon a mouse, vaguely sensing a similarity, then hastily checking the literature. If their guess was correct, they made the diagnosis. If they were right, they were thrilled; if not, it was no big deal, as it was normal not to diagnose a rare disease.

Looking at how the top experts diagnosed rare diseases showed a stark contrast: others had a systematic understanding of rare diseases and were familiar with a few clinical cases, along with some analyses and insights, far from their own luck-based approach.

"We should organize a few training sessions on these rare diseases when we have some time so everyone won’t be so in the dark," Yang Ping turned to Song Zimo and suggested.

Song Zimo nodded: "I’ll organize the information first and print out some materials for everyone to self-study. Then, I’ll include this knowledge in our regular weekly lectures to thoroughly clarify everyone’s understanding of rare diseases. Zhang Lin, organize this."

"Yes!"

Teacher Zhang responded, needing to quickly clarify things, so next time he encountered such a rare disease, he too could show off in front of the students.

PS: I’ve been too busy to update regularly, sorry! It’s a bit less busy now, and I will definitely strive to maintain regular updates. Thank you, everyone!
