"Similar things happen, and similar cases have been published in the New England Journal of medicine.


    A 52 year old mother named Keegan was in urgent need of a kidney replacement, and two adult sons underwent genetic tests to choose a more suitable candidate.


    As a result, the genes of both sons were inconsistent with him. After two years of confusion, the doctor found that Keegan was a patient with human chimera. "


    "This is a natural chimera, and the day after tomorrow," Wu Mian continued.


    "Ah?" Taoist Lin was surprised.


    The amount of information received today is so large that Taoist Lin feels a little dizzy. In his opinion, things that he can''t meet in his life are very common when he speaks out from the mouth of martial uncle. He regrets that martial uncle has a wide range of knowledge.


    "The research published in bone marrow transplantation under nature in 2004 shows that blood transfusion will make the recipient temporarily carry some donor cells; while patients receiving bone marrow transplantation will become a chimera forever."


    "This is artificial chimera, which appears in the process of treatment. There are many relevant reports. There are 35 various reports in medical journals in the last 10 years, discussing the changes of genes after bone marrow transplantation."


    "The research on chimerism is not extensive. After all, it is a rare situation. It is still a marginal branch of science. In a few years, it may cause a great change in gene editing. Not necessarily. This year''s Nobel prize may give gene editing theory, which will certainly lead to more research."


    "Dr. Wu, Zhou Qinyin... The colors of her left and right bodies are different. If all chimera chimeras are like this, is it easy to distinguish? Why don''t everyone know?" asked the Vernon.


    "Oh, that''s right," said Wu Mian. "Most patients with chimera are internal, while a few are surface."


    "What do you mean, little martial uncle?" Taoist Lin was confused by Wu Mian and directly interrupted him.


    "Let''s take another example." Wu Mian said, "for example, the chimerism of American model Taylor Millin is directly reflected in the skin color. I haven''t seen Zhou Qinyin''s skin in different colors, but I think it should be similar to Taylor Millin. Moreover, Zhou Qinyin is a more special case, and her internal and external genes are chimeric."


    "It''s all......" the Vernon whispered.


    "The research on chimerism is not enough. Many theories are just theories and lack the support of clinical data."


    "Because of the intervention of capital, human scientific research tends to the one that can bring profits. Many rare diseases are not unknown to the existing technical research, but because they are rare diseases. There are not enough patients for research, or there is no profit at all, so no one will think about these diseases."


    Wu Mian said with a smile.


    "Dr. Wu, I think you are biased against capital." Qi Liang helped his glasses and said with a smile. The words are very gentle. Although Wu Mian''s words are wrong, they are not annoying.


    "Hehe, as an old saying goes, as long as there is profit, capitalists don''t mind selling the noose to the people who hang them. This is a profession, this is a profession!" Wu Mian said.


    “……”


    "Simple theories are boring. There are countless examples in this field. Just say one," said Wu Mian. "The auergesellschaft company in Berlin, Germany, was founded by Carl Auer, who invented the steam lamp shade. He invented a toothpaste called doramad during World War II."


    "Toothpaste?"


    "Well, it''s just toothpaste. It''s no different from the current advertisements of various toothpastes, such as healthy gums, eliminating bacteria, white and shiny teeth. As I said just now, there are many things that the latest technology kills people, such as this toothpaste," Wu Mian said.


    "And then?" Taoist Lin likes gossip best. Little martial uncle has a lot of knowledge. He listens with interest. From chimera to toothpaste, there is no sense of disobedience.


    "Auer gesselschaft is a chemical company engaged in uranium processing and processing. The Germans think thorium is more important in atomic research than they think, so they have accumulated a lot of thorium."


    "..." Taoist Lin smacked his tongue.


    "At the end of World War II, when the German army was defeated, the United States tried desperately to obtain the fruits of the Germans and make use of them. At that time, Americans didn''t know whether thorium was a better raw material for making atomic bombs."


    "Shortly after the liberation of Paris, arthos''s forces found terres rares, but found that the company was empty. At that time, they panicked for fear that Germany would build hundreds of atomic bombs at the last minute and everyone would die together."


    Although he knows that history is not like this, he is still a little nervous.


    Indeed, the course of history is sometimes quite random. Perhaps a small accident will lead to the turning of the historical river.


    "Later, an isotope separation laboratory in hesingen was considered to be most likely to retain the raw materials separated by the Germans and possible to make atomic bombs. So the soldiers searched and found a ton and a half of metal thorium cubes buried there in a cave near hesingen."


    "So much!" Taoist Lin doesn''t know how much thorium is worth, but it''s a rare metal. It''s usually about grams, even milligrams.


    Germany is really rich. Thorium, a rare element, is calculated directly in tons.


    "Well, it''s a ton and a half of thorium. But the end is unexpected. These thorium elements are not intended to make an atomic bomb for the Fuehrer to overturn."


    "What''s that for?" asked the Vernon curiously.


    Thorium, a radioactive element, is not a treasure at all for normal people, but a life-threatening impermanence.


    "Auer company is aware that the war is over and the business losses it will bring are too heavy for the capital to bear. Defeat is inevitable, but what does that have to do with capital? The natural mission of capital is to increase value, devour, and then turn into profits." Wu Mian said with a smile.


    The Vernon wanted to retort, but he knew it was best not to annoy Wu Mian. After thinking about it, he held back. And if you want to refute, there seems to be nothing to say.


    "They believed that skin care products, cosmetics and other related daily necessities could bring a new future. At that time, radium had been used in toothpaste, and the updated product was thorium. Thorium was more suitable for daily necessities than radium."


    Wu Mian''s remark was so absurd that Taoist Lin and Wei Dabao were stunned. Even the Vernon also widened their eyes. I can''t believe people thought so 80 years ago.


    In the hospital, many patients don''t want to have an examination because of radiation. But less than a hundred years ago, these radioactive materials were used in daily necessities!


    Genqi knew that radium was a best seller at that time, and many daily necessities, even cigarettes, contained radium.


    But thorium has not been heard.
