In "The Legend of Ruyi", the angel baby "Frog Brother" (Five Brother Yongqi) "received a box lunch" because of the problem of bone gangrene. "Brother Frog Powder" scolded Hu Yunjiao over and over again in the barrage, if it were not for Hu Yunjiao's poisoning, "Brother Frog" would not have died. The Huashang Daily reporter checked some historical materials, and the bridge section of Hu Yunjiao was fictional, but the fifth brother Yongqi did die of bone gangrene.
The word "gangrene", recorded in the Zizhi Tongjian, says that The Father Fan Zeng "returned, did not go to Pengcheng, and died of gangrene on his back". What's going on with gangrene? Is it so scary?
It is understood that "gangrene" is a sore that occurs under the local skin, and Chinese medicine refers to the local skin swelling and hardness and the skin color is unchanged. Chinese medicine is divided into two categories: "headless" and "headless" in the early stage of gangrene. Gangrene is Fan Zeng's disease, which refers to the acute purulent disease that grows between the skin, with miliary pus on the local initial skin, redness, swelling, heat and pain, easy to spread to the deep and surrounding areas, and the pus head has also increased successively, and the ulcerated shape such as the lotus honeycomb is the main manifestation of the acute purulent disease. Headless gangrene is the disease of Wu'agyongqi, which is a collective term for a variety of purulent diseases that occur between bones and joints. It is characterized by a wide swelling and white color, and the pain is bone-deep. It is difficult to dissipate, difficult to collapse, difficult to contain, and can form a fistula.
There are now fewer people with osteoporosis
"This disease was very difficult to cure in the old society." Zhao Jun, chief physician of the Department of Trauma and Joints of Xi'an Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, said that appendage gangrene is the name of traditional Chinese medicine, which is actually purulent osteomyelitis, which is a "carbuncle" that goes deep into the bones, and it is the inflammation of bone tissue caused by septic bacteria. The pathogenic bacteria are mainly Staphylococcus aureus, followed by Streptococcus beta, Staphylococcus albicans, and occasionally Escherichia coli, Pneumococcus aeruginosa, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Haemophilus influenzae, etc. Routes of infection are hematogenous, spreading, and traumatic. Acute osteomyelitis is dominated by bone resorption and destruction. Chronic osteomyelitis is dominated by the formation of dead bone and the formation of new bone.
Zhao Jun mentioned that osteoporosis is a one-time sudden infection, such as a cold, etc., people with poor immunity may have similar things, and it is easy to occur in adolescents. At the onset of the disease, the affected area is red, swollen, hot and painful, especially the general hyperthermia. And constantly repeated attacks, and finally because of this repeated pus, high fever to the maximum consumption of life and death. However, modern people have rarely suffered from such diseases because of the good intake of nutritious diets and the strengthening of their physique. Even if you have such a disease, you can detect it very early and quickly solve the lesion through minimally invasive surgery.
Some "gangrene" can be contagious
On the evening of September 2, Li Yongqin, deputy chief physician of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Xi'an Central Hospital, received two special patients with "fever and local skin eschar for 2 days", and after detailed inquiry about the medical history and incidence, the preliminary consideration was "skin anthrax", and the 2 patients were immediately isolated and treated, and reported to the department director, the head nurse and the hospital's prevention and protection department. After receiving the epidemic report, the Shaanxi Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Xi'an Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention carried out circulation adjustment and collection of secretion samples, and stressed the need for strict isolation of patients.
Because the secretions of patients with skin anthrax and the dressings they have used are extremely contagious, Fu Jianjun, director of the Infection Department, organized all the medical staff of the department to learn the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of anthrax again, and it is necessary to restrict the patient's free movement and avoid visitation. Through systematic treatment, the two patients overcame the disease and were cured and discharged from the hospital.
Fu Jianjun said that anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by bacillus anthracis, which is a national class B infectious disease, of which lung anthrax is managed according to class A infectious diseases. Anthrax is mainly an infectious disease of herbivores (cattle, sheep, horses, etc.). When a person comes into contact with an animal suffering from anthrax, he can become infected and become ill. According to the clinical manifestations, it can be divided into skin anthrax, pulmonary anthrax, intestinal anthrax and meningeal anthrax, of which skin anthrax accounts for about 98%, mostly in the upper limbs and facial skin, 80% of this type can be cured, but severe cases can cause metastatic lesions and sepsis, often causing death. Fu Jianjun reminded the general public that if clinical manifestations such as fever and skin eschar appear after contact with cattle and sheep and their secretions, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time.
