Chapter 520: There Are Indeed and Really Only 14 Papers

"Regarding the causes of intraperitoneal free bodies, it is generally believed to be caused by the degeneration and torsion of the epiploic appendages, acute inflammation, adhesions, and detachment; or formed due to peritoneal mesothelial hyperplasia caused by chronic inflammatory stimulation.

Because the formation mechanism of intraperitoneal free bodies is complex, there is currently a lack of clear diagnostic criteria for them in clinical practice."

"But the pathological diagnosis of reported free bodies is all glassy degeneration; we can preliminarily determine that it is this type of disease."

Facing the Expert's questioning, Ji Xiang did not seem to have any nervous or anxious emotions; he spoke freely and fluently, his expression calm and focused.

Fan Dao recalled the performance of other Interns when facing questioning from the Zhuren and Experts, and truly felt that Ji Xiang was different.

"Really?" The Gastrointestinal Surgery Zhuren wanted to refute, but what Ji Xiang said was impeccable, and for a moment, he actually didn't know how to ask a question.

"A guess," Ji Xiang said calmly. "Whether it is or not, we still have to look at the pathology. Teacher, you ordered an intraoperative frozen section, right?"

"It was ordered routinely," an Attending Professor replied.

"Can you communicate with the Pathology Department and make it as fast as possible?" Ji Xiang asked.

The Gastrointestinal Surgery Zhuren looked up at Ji Xiang and nodded. "I'll make a call before we start the operation."

After Ji Xiang finished speaking, he shifted his body slightly and quietly "hid" behind Yang Zhuren, looking exactly like a "thug" brought along by Yang Zhuren.

The voice of an operating room Nurse came from outside the door, who was verifying the Patient with the Resident Chief.

"Let's go, to the surgery!" The Gastrointestinal Surgery Zhuren stood up very actively and gave Ji Xiang a deep look.

Fan Dao recorded all of this and felt very satisfied in his heart.

What an intraperitoneal free glassy body was, Fan Dao had no idea at all. Including the diagnosis and that passage Ji Xiang said, Fan Dao could understand every word, but when put together, Fan Dao truly didn't know what Ji Xiang was talking about.

He only knew that Ji Xiang was very impressive, standing in front of two Zhurens and speaking fluently, leaving the Zhurens dizzy and confused.

This was what the program needed.

Although it was too different from what Fan Dao had imagined for the program, and could even be said to be completely different, Fan Dao felt that this was better.

However, once he thought about the editing, Fan Dao felt dizzy again. Ji Xiang's performance was very good, but compared to the previous episodes, it was a bit mediocre.

Fan Dao felt a bit distressed and followed them all the way to the operating room.

He knew they wouldn't let him and the Camera Crew inside, so he simply stood by the Fire Exit to see if he could capture any useful content.

In the Review Room, the guests had not all arrived; it was too early, and many people couldn't get out of bed.

The daily schedule of the entertainment industry is different from that of Doctors. For Doctors, the morning handover is set in stone; even if they don't sleep all night, they must attend the handover.

Compared to the entertainment industry, people in the medical profession are more disciplined and more professional.

The Guangtou Zhuchiren yawned. "Shen Ke, what is an intraperitoneal free..."

Although he was skilled in his work, he could only remember up to this point.

"Intraperitoneal free glassy degeneration... to be honest, I haven't heard of it," Shen Ke said helplessly. "Glassy degeneration is relatively common in clinical practice.

In diseased cells or interstitial tissue, there is an accumulation of uniform, structureless, translucent protein, which appears eosinophilic and homogeneous in HE-stained sections.

It is divided into intracellular glassy degeneration, fibrous connective tissue glassy degeneration, and arteriole wall glassy degeneration."

"But intraperitoneal and free—with these two modifiers added, I don't know what it is."

"There are only 14 reports worldwide; is that true?" a guest asked.

"I can check it now," Shen Ke said.

The Guangtou Zhuchiren immediately realized this was a point to drag out time. He had slept too little yesterday, his Spirit was lacking, and he wanted to be lazy for a while.

"You look it up. I always feel that what Doctor Ji Xiang said was too detailed, and I don't quite dare to believe it." The Guangtou Zhuchiren followed Shen Ke's words and pushed the work onto him.

Shen Ke actually wanted to look up the information; he was more interested in intraperitoneal free glassy degeneration.

Moving the laptop over, Shen Ke logged into a professional website and began to search.

"Got it! In March 2018, the European Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery published a similar paper; this is the most recent paper."

Very quickly, Shen Ke found the most recent paper.

"Really? Really? Let me see." A guest leaned over.

But what he saw was a screen full of English.

His English level was actually not bad, but there were too many professional terms in professional English journals that were not used in daily life, and he was left confused.

"Don't say, it's quite similar to what Doctor Ji Xiang said," Shen Ke said after a rough glance and continued searching.

2013

2006

The time span of every article was very long; the oldest article was published in 1967.

14 papers, exactly 14 papers, not one more, not one less.

Shen Ke looked at the screen in astonishment and counted again.

He considered himself a professional Doctor, and an academic one at that; Shen Ke had the most basic awareness of this point.

For an academic like himself, the vast sea of literature could not be fully known, yet Ji Xiang could pluck it out at will, giving a diagnosis off the cuff when encountering an extremely rare case, and even knowing the exact number of papers published in the medical field over the past few decades.

This was even more surprising than Ji Xiang's impressive surgery.

Decades, millions, tens of millions of medical papers, and Ji Xiang could recount them like he knew them by heart—what kind of ability was this?

A superpower?

"Shen Ke, it really is 14 papers!"

"Yeah, are there so few papers in your medical field? Doctor Ji Xiang seems to be a Standardized Training Student; how could he remember so clearly?"

"Amazing, amazing. I didn't expect that everything Doctor Ji Xiang said was correct; there are indeed and really only 14 relevant papers."

The guests present expressed their surprise one after another.

Recalling the words Ji Xiang said while standing in front of the Gastrointestinal Surgery Zhuren at the time, and their own thoughts back then, the guests all felt a bit embarrassed.

It turned out it was all true; the person had reason and evidence, while they were just guessing wildly.

Professor Shen stared blankly at the computer screen, speechless for a long time.

"Teacher Shen, how do you think Doctor Ji Xiang knows such details? Although I don't understand the medical industry, based on my experience, it seems very difficult to achieve." Seeing the awkward silence, Guangtou Zhuchiren tossed out a topic.

"I don't know," Professor Shen said in a hoarse voice, "If you gave me a computer... I don't think I could do it either."

Guangtou Zhuchiren could only scratch his head; what kind of answer was that?

Could it be that there is a team behind Ji Xiang, or perhaps a large-scale team capable of accessing a supercomputer anytime, anywhere?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

"A perfect-score national number one is truly extraordinary; it seems we cannot view Doctor Ji Xiang with ordinary eyes," Guangtou Zhuchiren added to make up for the moment.
