Chapter 144 Blood Therapy (Please subscribe!!!)
  Hemophilia is a very old disease. Its pathogenesis is due to a genetic defect in the patient and a lack of coagulation factors in the blood.

Therefore, once bleeding occurs, the patient cannot heal the wound on his own, which will lead to death from excessive blood loss.

Moreover, this disease is a genetic disease. Women who carry this defective gene will not develop the disease, but will only cause the disease in their male offspring.

Queen Victoria happened to be the woman who carried this gene, so her youngest son, Prince Leopold, became a victim.

Because several of Queen Victoria's daughters married into European royal families, most of the sons they gave birth to became hemophiliacs, and this disease was also named "Royal Disease".

Because of the genetic defect of the European grandmother, the entire European royal family suffered.

……

Records of the condition date back to the 2nd century AD.

At that time, the Jews stipulated that if a mother's first two sons died due to bleeding during circumcision, her third son could be exempted from circumcision.

It was 1600 years later, in 1803, that the first modern record appeared.

American doctor John Oton discovered that only males were affected in several families with hereditary bleeding disorders and concluded that the disease was transmitted by females.

In 1840, British doctor Samuel Wren performed the first postoperative blood transfusion on a hemophiliac boy, saving the boy's life.

But Cecil Lane had no relevant knowledge about human blood types, so his success was more a matter of chance.

Hemophilia patients will gradually suffer from joint swelling and pain, and periosteal bleeding due to lack of hematopoietic function.

Because it was too cold in London, Prince Leopold followed the doctor's advice and came to Cannes alone for vacation.

What he didn't expect was that he would die of cerebral hemorrhage due to a fall alone.

Shi Jintang's plan to treat Prince Leopold this time is to take advantage of his blood type and help him transfuse blood from healthy people. As long as he transfuses blood from healthy people regularly, his joint swelling and pain can be relieved.

Combined with some painkillers, the pain can be reduced a lot.

As for surgical removal of the patient's joint synovium, Shi Jintang would not take the risk.

After all, there was no cure for this disease before he traveled through time. All he could do now was "conservative treatment" and just form a good relationship with His Highness the Prince.

"Your Highness, I wonder if you have heard of the paper "A Brief Analysis of Four Types of Human Blood" published by a doctor named Lawen Schneider some time ago?"

Prince Leopold turned his eyes and said, "I seem to have some impression. Is it a paper that says humans have four blood types?"

"Yes, Dr. Lawen Schneider who published this paper is an employee of our Nanhua Company, and his blood type test has been confirmed.

I got inspiration from his paper and from Dr. Samuel Wren's case of blood transfusions given to similar patients in 1840.

I am 5% sure to help relieve your pain. I wonder if His Highness the Prince has the courage to try it? "

Shi Jintang didn't finish his words, but for a person who has been in despair for a long time, he has to grasp even a straw.

"Yes, I do!"

Seeing the excited Prince Leopold, Shi Jintang immediately comforted him: "Your Highness, you have to stay calm now and don't get excited. If you get injured, it will be bad.

Listen to me, take a deep breath and be quiet. "

Prince Leopold immediately took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Alice was sent back by Shi Jintang to call for help. Shi Jintang chatted casually with Prince Leopold to ease his spirit, for fear that he would suffer from epilepsy if he was too excited.

At the same time, Shi Jintang took advantage of this gap to carefully analyze the case of Samuel Lane in 1840, and at the same time popularized blood type knowledge to His Royal Highness.

On the one hand, it is to boost the confidence of His Royal Highness, and on the other hand, it is to demonstrate his ability to analyze and summarize.

Moreover, this method of delivering healthy people to patients has been used for a long time in history. Later, blood stratification technology improved, and it gradually developed into transfusing blood products and coagulation factors to patients.

Prince Leopold's eyes shone when he heard this, and his recognition of Shi Jintang increased even more.

Alice arrived quickly, followed by Lauren Schneider, two female doctors, Lucas and others.

Lucas was called here because he has type "O" blood, as long as Prince Leopold is not a panda.   Then Lucas, the "universal blood donor", is suitable to appear here to supply blood to His Highness the Prince.

Then Lucas is suitable to stay in the British Palace for a long time and can carry out his mission smoothly.

The perfect implementation of the plan requires determining the blood type of His Royal Highness, so this is a very risky decision.

"Your Highness, please think clearly. If you are willing to take the risk, I will ask Dr. Schneider to start testing your blood type."

Prince Leopold nodded, then called his steward and informed him of the adventure.

The housekeeper wanted to dissuade the wayward prince, but the latter was determined.

"Ms. Buchlett, this risky behavior was carried out voluntarily by me, so please don't stop me. I am too eager to live a more comfortable life."

The housekeeper still disagreed, so Shi Jintang asked Dr. Schneider to help the housekeeper and other servants test their blood types on the spot, and then demonstrated blood transfusion on the spot.

After this operation, it was almost dark.

Prince Leopold couldn't wait any longer and directly ordered his blood type to be tested.

Seeing that His Highness the Prince had made up his mind, the housekeeper reluctantly agreed, but sternly warned Shi Jintang.

If something goes wrong with His Royal Highness, she will definitely report it to Her Majesty the Queen truthfully.

Shi Jintang was also worried at this moment. After all, he only had theoretical knowledge and had never tested it in practice, so he could only act recklessly.

"Dr. Schneider, let's get started."

One can imagine the nervousness in Lawen Schneider's heart, but he did not dare to disobey Mr. Shi's order.

Prince Leopold was much calmer and did not forget to comfort the nervous housekeeper.

"Don't be nervous Buccelit, it's okay."

Lawen Schneider took the silver needle from the female doctor's hand, carefully pricked a small hole in the prince's finger, squeezed out the blood and dripped it into a test tube.

The housekeeper came immediately and bandaged the wound on the prince's finger with a clean handkerchief.

Lawn Schneider immediately helped His Royal Highness test the blood type.

The drop of blood was evenly applied to the four types of antigens. Three of them quickly experienced blood agglutination. Only one antigen labeled B did not agglutination.

This shows that His Royal Highness’s blood type is type B.

"Your Highness, your blood type has been detected and it is type B. I will arrange a blood transfusion for you immediately. Please wait."

After saying that, Dr. Schneider and the two female doctors immediately got busy. They began to draw blood from Lucas's veins.

The housekeeper was nervous. On the one hand, she was worried about the safety of His Highness, but on the other hand, she hoped that this attempt would be successful.

The blood was taken from Lucas quickly because there was no plastic bag. The blood taken from him was in a glass bottle that had been sterilized by high temperature. This time, 200 ml was taken directly.

When it is injected into the prince's body, intravenous drip is used.

The housekeeper saw that the blood stains on the handkerchief were getting bigger and bigger, and she couldn't help asking the prince again if he had changed his mind.

"It's okay, Buchlit. I'm calm and normal now. I'm willing to take the risk."

So Lawen Schneider and two female doctors quickly helped Prince Leopold perform the blood transfusion.

The blood in the glass bottle decreased little by little, but there was nothing abnormal about Prince Leopold.

Before the 200 ml of blood was transfused, the housekeeper discovered that the wound on Prince Leopold's finger had miraculously solidified into a blood clot and stopped bleeding.

This discovery excited everyone present.

Dr. Schneider and the two female doctors were even more excited, which meant that they had created another miracle under the leadership of Mr. Shi!
