2710 The omnipresent plastic
Zheng Ren laughed. Su Yun, the Chatterbox, seemed to be fine with chatting with the driver. He quickly went to the system space.
He took another look at the mission and confirmed that there was no reward of energy. Zheng Ren was a little disappointed.
Zheng Ren went to the operating theater in the system after purchasing the surgery training.
The experimental lay quietly on the operating table. Zheng Ren was not in a hurry to perform the surgery. Instead, he first took a look at the CT scan and choledochoscope.
The image showed that the bile duct was blocked, and there was only a very narrow passage left behind by the fine quicksand-like stones.
Zheng Ren started to worry when he saw the video.
Normally, internal catheter drainage was mainly used for patients with late-stage cancer and myocardial infarction. Most of the postoperative care for bile duct exploration was external drainage, which could be removed relatively easily.
This kind of internal drainage required a relatively long observation time. Many patients with late cancer had the main purpose of inserting internal drainage tubes to prolong their life.
However, this extension was too much. 14 years …
“I really don’t know what to do.” Zheng Ren crossed his arms and looked at the X-ray carefully. After he had a certain understanding of the patient’s X-ray image, he began to try to perform interventional surgery, but Zheng Ren could not pull the endoctosis.
Unlike a stent, internal catheter insertion rarely happened, and Zheng Ren was a little depressed.
He tried other methods and started to study them in the system operating theater.
……
……
“You have to eat even if you don’t want to, there’s no other way. In 2017, researchers in Malaysia discovered that plastic waste entered the ocean and eventually broke down into small pieces and returned to the salt we use every day. “
When Zheng Ren came out of the operating room, Su Yun was still arguing with the driver about the plastic.
“Uh …” This time, the driver was stunned. If there was salt in the food, did that mean that he had to eat plastic every day? It was fine to not use the plastic bags, but he had to eat the salt.
The thought of the plastic in the salt made him feel disgusted.
“In the ocean environment, through solar radiation, chemical degradation, the impact of waves, and the consumption of marine life, large pieces of plastic gradually become smaller and split into countless tiny pieces of plastic. Its extremely small size makes it difficult for us to notice its existence, but it does exist. ” “Don’t be so meticulous,” Zheng Ren said with a smile.”It’s not very meaningful.”
“Boss, you’re giving up on yourself! This is not right. ” Su Yun said in disdain.
“It’s not really self-destructive. A while ago, an United States scholar studied 150 water samples from 14 cities around the world and found that as much as 83% of the samples contained plastic particles.” Zheng Ren said,”you can’t avoid it.”
“Sir, I have a water purifier at home.” The driver explained in a low voice.
“A normal water purifier is meaningless to microplastic.” Zheng Ren said,”on October 22,2018, at the European Conference of Gastroenterology held in Vienna, researchers announced that they had detected microplastic components in every feces sample of a small number of subjects around the world. The microplastic can pass through the filter of the water purifier. Don’t listen to the sales staff. “
“……”
The driver, who had always been talkative, was dumbfounded by Zheng Ren’s words. If he couldn’t even eat or drink, how was he going to live?
And what did the young man’s words mean? Plastic was made by humans to be used as a container, but in the end, humans became the container of plastic.
Research had confirmed people’s long-standing speculation that Pi Xiu, which was plastic, would eventually enter the human intestine. In other words, the human body was a container.
It was really … F * cking.
“I’m fine, don’t worry. ” Su Yun saw that the driver had already entered a philosophical thinking mode and was driving unsteadily. She immediately advised,””Plastic is harmless. At least, there’s no solid evidence for now.”
“You can’t say that. Microplastic can stay in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time, causing mechanical damage, blocking food passages, and causing a sense of satiety. It will cause the actual nutrient intake to be reduced, causing the body weight to be reduced and the growth to be delayed. “
“…” The driver suddenly felt that he was not feeling well.
“Boss, you’re doing this on purpose. You just said not to mind it too much.” Su Yun said unhappily,”you usually don’t talk much. Why are you so talkative when you start talking?”
“You … You’re lying to me, right?” The driver forced a smile and said,””I knew it was a joke, didn’t I?”
“Yeah, I was just joking.” Su Yun patted his shoulder and tried to comfort him.
“I knew it. It’s definitely fake.” The driver consoled himself,”plastic. How could such a light thing appear 4500 meters below the sea?”
Zheng Ren smiled and wanted to say something, but when he saw the driver’s expression in the rearview mirror, he could only shut up.
He should go to Beijing for his liver and gallbladder surgery. Otherwise, if he continued to talk, this old driver might not be able to wait until he got plastic poisoning.
It was not easy for them to reach the liver and gallbladder of the imperial capital. Su Yun consoled the old driver for a while before telling Zheng Ren,””Boss, he’s frightened.”
“There’s no other way. Plastic is everywhere now. It’s not like you can avoid contact with it whenever you want. The average lifespan of humans is still gradually increasing, and it’s much better than when there was no plastic. There’s no need to scare yourself. ” Zheng Ren said.
“Hey,” Su Yun laughed.”I have a friend who made a model himself to restore the sea snow pattern. Even the smallest thing can be swept to the bottom of the sea, not necessarily floating on the surface. “
“Yes.” Zheng Ren nodded.
Su Yun was talking about a kind of motion feature in ocean dynamics. Using a container to store seawater and rotating it day and night, floccules would appear after a few days. This was the simplest Model Restoration.
This floccules called sea snow had a strong wrapping ability. Even 1mm particles could exist in it and eventually fall to the bottom of the sea.
This was the reason why a portion of crude oil would fall to the bottom of the sea in many oil leakage incidents.
However, since it had nothing to do with today’s surgery, Zheng Ren did not pay much attention to the use of plastic or the reduction in the use. Everyone had their own duties, and it was enough to do their own things well.
For example, today’s surgery. He had left 14 years of internal catheter in his body, and he really wanted to try it out.
“Has the Department Director arrived?” Su Yun asked.
“The director’s house is quite far away, so I don’t think he has yet.” Zheng Ren gave Department Director Kong a call. As expected, he was still on the way.
“Boss, I didn’t hear your call with the Department Director just now. Do you think you need surgery?” Su Yun asked.
“I don’t think so.” Zheng Ren said,”a 14-year-old catheter and gallstones are very troublesome to deal with. I think we should try using an intervention method first. If it works, the patient won’t have to suffer, right?”
“In your dreams. How can there be so many possibilities?” Su Yun said,”it’s very solid inside. It’s very difficult to perform an interventional surgery.”
