783 Coral Man

"'Coron Man'?" Fu Chenxue felt a deep heart. He knew that this disease, which is one of the "Top Ten Strange Diseases" in the world. The real name of this disease is "Progressive Muscle Ossification" (mop), also known as "Progressive Ossification Fibrous Dysplasia" (fop) is a rare hereditary, progressive connective tissue disease characterized by progressive dysfunction of multiple joints and progressive striatal ossification. Although this is a dominant genetic disease, most of the patients are still mutations and naturally occurring, and family history may not be traced back. According to literature records, the earliest cases of this disease can be traced back to the end of the 16th century. Medical statistics show that only one case of this disease occurs in every 2 million people, and there are 600 cases in the world. In history, only 2,500 people suffering from this disease worldwide.

This strange disease is one of the rarest diseases in the world. The patient's muscles gradually turn into bones, and the whole body seems to have a "second skeleton". In the end, the joints in the body will not be able to move, turning into a living "sculpture" with flesh and blood. This process is very similar to the formation process of corals. The polyps in the coral body can secrete calcareous matter, continue to grow and split up, leaving the bones behind, and form corals. Therefore, people with this rare bone disease are also called "coral people" in medicine.

"Progressive musculostomy" will cause the bones on the human body to develop in an abnormal direction, first of all, the toes become larger, then the neck, spine and shoulders, and eventually the muscles gradually disappear, ossified, and gradually transform into a bone man. In other words, more and more bones will accumulate outside the patient's skeleton, and finally the human body will be stiff and fixed and formed - either in U-shaped, or folded arms, or crossed legs, or stand in a "human" shape, like a stone man, and cannot do any more exercise. People suffering from this disease are usually very fragile, like glass man, and with a gentle touch, their joints will bulge like blowing balloons, and the next step is to grow into new bones.

There are no cured cases of "Progressive Muscleoossification" so far, and the average life span of patients is 41 years old. Medical experts have spent a lot of effort to study this strange disease and finally found out that the cause of the disease is actually a gene. They found that this gene called "acvr1" controls three types of bones in the human body, forms protein (bmp), and directly affects the formation and repair of bones. When the gene "acvr1" mutates, such as copying one or two more, it will change the original gene information, resulting in signal disorders of bone formation and repair of bones.

It is messy and produces a large number of wrong proteins. "Progressive musculostomy" makes doctors feel helpless because the most effective way to treat other diseases is surgery, and this disease is absolutely not allowed, because the surgery will cause capillary bleeding, and the abnormal protein in the blood will erode other healthy parts of the body, causing the worse the surgery. At present, this disease can only be done through some drugs, and first find ways to save your life. Fop's treatment methods such as bone marrow transplantation and gene therapy are in the experimental research stage, and there is no cure.

Huo Ziyan said: "Grandpa likes Ling'er very much. Since Ling'er got this disease, she has never smiled again. Over the past two years, her grandfather and dad have searched for famous doctors from all over the world. There are hundreds of ancient, folk recipes, earth, and secret recipes, but no one has a single medicine to cure Ling'er's disease. Seeing that cute child become a 'stone man' bit by bit, the hearts of the whole family are about to break..." As she said that, a layer of mist was covered in Huo Ziyan's eyes, and crystal tears rolled down her cheeks. It can be seen that she had a deep relationship with the child. "Chenxue, you must save him, okay? As long as you can cure Ling'er's disease, I will give it to you no matter what you want..." At this point, she suddenly realized that her words were a little ignorant, and her pretty face turned red again.

Fu Chenxue smiled bitterly in his heart: I want you to give it to me. The problem is that famous doctors all over the world are helpless in the strange disease, and I may not be able to cure it. Of course, I can't say this. He gently wiped Huo Ziyan's tears and asked, "A Zi, has anyone else in your family ever had this disease?"

"No! I heard from my grandfather that no one in our family's immediate family and the next-generation relatives had suffered from 'Stone Syndrome'!"

"Then have anyone in your family's ancestors ever had this disease?"

"This... doesn't seem to be there either!"

"like?"

"Well, because my ancestors are so long and have no family history left, who can know? According to my grandfather's memory, it has indeed never appeared."

After hearing Huo Ziyan's affirmation, Fu Chenxue felt a little relieved. Among all the diseases, the diseases inherited by family are the most difficult to treat. As long as it is not a genetic problem, there is more or less hope. He looked at Huo Ziyan and smiled and said, "A Zi, do you believe me?"

Huo Ziyan was moved by Fu Chenxue's gentle movements, nodded vigorously, then pressed her cheek to his chest, and said, "Chenxue, I believe in you! You will definitely be able to do what others can't do - because you are Fu Chenxue, you are the only one in this world!"

Being admired by beauties is pleasing to the eye. Being admired by beauties like noble, proud and elegant like Huo Ziyan is a fear of fear. Fu Chenxue smiled: "A Zi, do you want to kiss me a few more times? Maybe I will be happy and will work harder when treating Ling'er."

"Bad guy, you dare to threaten me... But I like it very much." Huo Ziyan sat up from Fu Chenxue's arms, first glared at him fiercely, the next moment, smiled, hugged his neck, and pressed his little mouth frantically towards his lips...

When they heard the madness behind, the two women in front were feeling uncomfortable. They didn't have to look back and knew what program was being staged later. They didn't dare to speak or cough. Although their throats were itchy and uncomfortable... not only were they itchy, but there seemed to be many little bugs crawling on their bodies, itchy and squeaky... Oh, this Miss Huo is really bad. Have you forgotten that they are also women? So blatant, so tangled, so shameless!

The car drove into the "Huo Mansion" that looked like an imperial palace. The "Huo Mansion" was very big, beyond imagination, and at least more grand than the "Zhou Mansion". The car drove on the winding mountain road for five or six minutes before stopping in front of a white villa. Here, bamboo trees were mingled, magnificent, rockery waterfalls, lakes and mountains, as if they were walking into a fairyland, which was as gorgeous and luxurious as it was.
