I Can View Character Attributes Chapter 352: gigantism

"Boss, this is the information we have investigated..."

The next day, at the same time that Viktor's investment was getting frustrated, Xia Xu also went outside the school after finishing his schoolwork for the day.

Yang Bowen and He Qing moved here a few days ago, and they have been investigating the situation of Cui Xinghua and Gardner's mental hospital according to his instructions recently.

"Cui Xinghua's last patient was also recuperated in Gardner?"

Looking at some of the information that several people investigated and visited, Xia Xu frowned slightly, thoughtfully.

The root cause of Cui Xinghua's entry into the Gardner Mental Hospital was the medical accident of the last operation.

But regarding this matter, he himself is a bit skeptical. Although there is no absolute, a five-star surgeon should not easily have an accident.

At that time, it was a brain tumor resection operation. The difficulty was not low, but it was by no means a difficult operation. There were a lot of surgeons in the country who could perform it. For Cui Xinghua, it should be a no-brainer Just pinch it.

"Yeah, but just lived with depression a long time ago for a few months."

Yang Bowen was answering Xia Xu's question, and said, "If it wasn't because the boss just happened to mention Gardner, we might have ignored it."

I went to Gardner, and finally died on Cui Xinghua's operating table, and then Cui Xinghua was admitted to the Gardner Mental Hospital. Xia Xu would not believe that there was no contact between the two.

"Is there any data on the height and shape of the deceased? Or did he have any symptoms such as obesity?"

Xia Xu's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes."

Yang Bowen quickly pointed out the location of the data to Xia Xu.

Sure enough, Xia Xu's eyes froze quickly.

There is a very professional physical examination data attached to it, which seems to be a masterpiece of the hospital, and a diagnostic report is attached at the back.

The above shows that the height of the deceased is only normal, about 1.7 meters, and there is no abnormality.

However, the body shape of the deceased is very strange.

It seems to be growing horizontally, and the appearance of the body becomes very fat, and the limbs are swollen, but it is not fat accumulation and fluid accumulation, but relatively normal body tissue.

"After joint discussion, the expert group agreed that the patient was gh adenoma, acromegaly caused by abnormal secretion of growth hormone..."

In the diagnosis report attached at the end, Xia Xu saw the diagnosis of the deceased's condition at the hospital where Cui Xinghua was at that time.

Biology is a huge field with many branches, and medicine is the most flourishing one among them. Use the Internet to search for some keywords.

GH adenoma, the official name should be growth hormone adenoma.

Due to pituitary gland lesions, tumor cells abnormally secrete a large amount of growth hormone, resulting in abnormal body development, usually swelling of limbs, body shape and hypertrophy of internal organs, that is, acromegaly.

But this acromegaly is for adults.

There is a term called epiphyseal monkey, which refers to the ossification point at both ends of the bone during bone development. The epiphysis of minors is not closed, so the bone can grow, and then increase height, arm span, etc.

But usually around the age of teens, at most eighteen or nineteen years old, the epiphysis of a person will be completely closed, and there will be no further growth in height from then on.

And if a minor suffers from gh adenoma, or abnormal secretion of growth hormone caused by other reasons, then what happens is not acromegaly, but another symptom term that Xia Xu is somewhat familiar with.

Gigantism!

Growth hormone, as the name suggests, is used to promote the growth of bones and internal organs and other body organs and tissues.

The unclosed epiphysis, coupled with the large amount of growth hormone secretion, brings about an increase in height and size. Patients usually grow to more than two meters, and the highest recorded record is 2.72 meters.

Closer to three meters, the value does not sound exaggerated, but it is actually the height of a normal one-story building, and even twice the height of some petite girls.

This is a real 'giant'. You must know that even the Hulk in the Marvel movies is only 2.56 meters. In the comics, it was only 1.9 meters, less than 2 meters.

"Giant, is this what you mean?"

Xia Xu felt that he had vaguely grasped the plot of "The Giant".

The Gardner Mental Hospital is trying to artificially create gigantic patients in a way similar to pituitary adenoma, or is it trying to create a real giant?

In reality, there will be no situation where the body size increases but the strength remains the same. On the contrary, the truth is that when the strength increases, the quantitative change causes the qualitative change.

If the size of a person really grows to two or three meters and the various body functions remain stable, then his strength will inevitably increase exponentially.

Of course, this is just an ideal state.

In fact, gigantism is not as beautiful as imagined, otherwise it would not be a disease.

It is the same as hypermemnesia. Imagination and theory are beautiful, but the actual situation is often not as expected~IndoMTL.com~The height and body development of gigantism is ultimately due to abnormal lesions. The body is extremely precise, and a single hair can affect the whole body. This abnormality will bring about a series of possible complications such as diabetes, joint disease, and infertility.

And in terms of physical performance, it will not be satisfactory. Excessive hypertrophy of the internal organs may affect the function of the organs, and other aspects such as cardiopulmonary respiration and body weight will also become a drag.

At the beginning, the patient may be really tall and strong, but they will gradually decline, and finally become extremely weak due to various reasons, and the immunity and other aspects will also become extremely low.

"If you want to create a truly stable and powerful giant human, you must first find a stable and controllable benign pituitary gland variation, and secondly, if you are performing surgery on adults, you also need to solve the problem of epiphyseal closure..."

Xia Xu narrowed his eyes.

The two conditions sound simple, but in fact they are impossible to achieve.

However, was the Gardner Asylum a success?

The answer is yes.

They succeeded, at least more than half of the success, otherwise there would be no such "giant plot."

"First of all, it is certain that they have mastered the technology of artificially manufacturing or transplanting this GH adenoma..."

"Secondly, Gardner should be experimenting with patients now, trying to find the most perfect diseased gland..."

"Whether the problem of epiphyseal closure has been solved is temporarily uncertain, but the patients I saw last time were all fat and not particularly prominent in height. It is likely that there is no..."

Xia Xu's thoughts were flying, and he quickly sorted out the plot of "The Giant".

However, in this case, Cui Xinghua's affairs should not be rushed. Perhaps the best way to steadily obtain this giant gland technology is to follow the original plot.
