Chapter 558: Rejection Reaction

"Jie-ge, does this method of extending life with precious medicine have any restrictions?"

After Zhang Chulan sighed, he leaned over to Zhang Jie's side and asked secretly.

Xu San and the others also pricked up their ears: although this precious medicine of several hundred years is precious,

for ordinary people, let alone using it personally, even seeing it is a slim hope,

but for the true power-holders, it is not so rare.

If Zhang Jie's life-extension method has no restrictions, I am afraid it will trigger earth-shaking changes.

Once someone wants to cling to power, I am afraid it will trigger turmoil like "How can there be a crown prince for forty years in the world?"

"This is naturally there."

Zhang Jie nodded and explained softly: "This method of extending life with precious medicine

is to transform the medicinal power in the precious medicine into vitality, to make up for the deficiency of the human body, and then extend life.

Although I have tried my best, the life essence refined

cannot reach the level of the innate Qi that can change at will.

Therefore, although I have not experimented with it, according to my speculation,

rashly using more than two kinds of precious medicine will inevitably trigger a violent backlash.

At that time, I am afraid it will not be extending life, but urging death.

In short, this method of mine can only be used once per person."

"This is a bit like the rejection reaction in organ transplantation,"

Xu San, who had also conducted some research on medicine because of Xu Xiang's hospitalization, said thoughtfully.

As soon as Zhang Chulan heard this, he took out his phone and started searching:

The rejection reaction of organ transplantation is essentially the human immune system mistaking the newly implanted organ

for an "external invader" and launching an immune attack.

According to the time, mechanism, and severity of occurrence, it is mainly divided into four types: hyperacute,

acute, chronic, and graft-versus-host reaction, among which acute rejection is the most common.

Hyperacute rejection: usually occurs within minutes to 48 hours after transplantation.

This is due to pre-existing antibodies in the body rapidly attacking the new organ,

leading to the formation of blood clots in the blood vessels and rapid necrosis of the organ.

Acute rejection: This is the most common type in clinical practice, mostly occurring within a few weeks to 3 months after transplantation.

It mainly manifests as the patient suddenly developing fever, fatigue, local swelling and pain in the transplanted organ,

and accompanied by a decline in organ function (such as decreased urine output and increased serum creatinine after kidney transplantation).

Chronic rejection: often occurs months or even years after transplantation, and is a slow, progressive process.

It mainly manifests as a gradual decline in the function of the transplanted organ, which is difficult to treat,

and is the main reason affecting the long-term survival of the transplanted organ.

Graft-versus-host reaction: this situation is mostly seen in bone marrow transplantation,

where the newly implanted immune cells turn around and attack the patient's own tissues,

often triggering multi-organ failure, which is quite dangerous.

The first related measure is that one must strictly take medicine on time, which is the core line of defense to control rejection.

One must take immunosuppressants (such as tacrolimus, cyclosporine, etc.) for life and strictly follow the doctor's advice,

and absolutely must not stop, reduce, or change the medication time without authorization, otherwise it is very easy to induce a violent rejection reaction.

Zhang Jie just glanced at it and saw all the content on the phone screen,

He thought to himself that when science and the mystical develop to a certain height, they arrive at the same destination by different paths.

He nodded clearly: "The mechanism is more complex than this, but the principle is similar."

Zhang Chulan felt a chill: the rejection reaction of organ transplantation only occurs in the transplanted organ,

such as the liver, kidney, heart, bone marrow, but Zhang Jie's life-extension method is clearly acting on the whole body,

if this rejection reaction occurs, the scene must be...

"It's good that there are restrictions, it's good that there are restrictions."

Even in the face of his own life and death, Xu Xiang said fortunately.

This country is very large, accommodating more than a billion ordinary people and tens of thousands of extraordinary individuals.

But this country is also very small, unable to accommodate another immortal besides Feng Baobao.

Involving immortality, not everyone can withstand the temptation.

After all, immortality is the complete collection of all human desires:

once you possess immortality, what kind of power, wealth, beauty, fame, and fortune cannot be obtained?

Time is on the side of the immortal.

Even if he tried his best to hide the secret of A-Wu's immortality all these years, everything leaves traces.

But when he discovered it and wanted to erase these clues,

he found that a mysterious force had cleaned up the mess for him.

Although this force was also trying its best to hide itself, after his secret investigation,

this force came from Zhao Zong Fangxu, who represented the country and controlled the company!

Obviously, Zhao Zong also knew what immortality represented; it is not just wealth, power, and authority,

but also chaos, fighting, intrigue, deceit, and even the fuse of war.

Over the years, it was precisely because of the unspoken tacit understanding between him and Zhao Zong that they acted together,

to firmly hide the secret of A-Wu's immortality in the North China region, without spreading it to the extraordinary world or above.

'The things behind...'

Looking at A-Wu, whose eyes were innocent and still immersed in joy, Xu Xiang couldn't help but worry again.

Without him, can Xu San and Xu Si continue to complete the mission of protecting her?

"Goodbye, Ah Jie."

"See you tomorrow, San-ge, Si-ge."

The night was already deep; coming to the intersection, Zhang Jie and the others parted ways, each returning home.

Xu San and Xu Si supported Xu Xiang, who had a solemn expression and was full of worries, and left by car.

Zhang Jie naturally returned to his own residence.

"Bao'er-jie..."

Zhang Chulan hadn't decided where he was going.

Too many things happened tonight; first, Feng Baobao was his grandfather-killing enemy,

then Feng Baobao was an immortal,

and finally, Zhang Jie, whom he already felt was unfathomable, was even more unfathomable than he imagined,

even knowing how to extend life, a method close to bringing the dead back to life; this information was too much,

too mixed, and too shocking, making his brain dizzy.

"Go to the suburban villa!"

Feng Baobao didn't care about this; she said she would train Zhang Chulan, so she would train Zhang Chulan.

"Good."

Zhang Chulan thought for a moment and agreed.

He had read in some fitness magazine that when your mind is full of wild thoughts,

you might as well devote yourself to exercise; a hearty exercise can make your heart return to peace.

He didn't know if this could restore peace, but obviously, as long as he practiced until he was exhausted,

and his muscles were sore, he wouldn't have so much energy to have wild thoughts.

Of course, this also didn't allow Zhang Chulan to refuse, because one of Feng Baobao's hands was already on his shoulder.

With her simple and rude style, once Zhang Chulan refused,

Okamoto 0.01 might, probably, should, definitely be unsheathed.

Zhang Chulan felt that as a man, he should be gentlemanly enough and fully respect the girl's opinion.

This definitely had nothing to do with the Okamoto 0.01 that was faintly visible in Feng Baobao's sleeve...

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Zhang Jie, who was walking in the back, saw dots of crystal light in the corner of Zhang Chulan's eyes... ===== CHAPTER 559 =====
