In November 2009, Bingbing, a 5-year-old girl, died of leukemia. Although leukemia is a vicious disease, it will not kill people in a short period of time.
But Bingbing was an exception. She passed away not long after she was diagnosed with the disease. This made the father who loved her deeply mired in grief, and it was difficult to get out. What the hell is going on here?
What is leukemia? Leukemia is a malignant clonal disease of hematopoietic stem cells. Leukemia cells are stagnant at different stages of cell development due to uncontrolled proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. In bone marrow and other hematopoietic tissues, a large number of leukemia cells proliferate and accumulate, which inhibits normal hematopoiesis and infiltrates other organs and tissues.
Classification of Leukemia
- Acute leukemia(AL) and chronic leukemia (CL).
- By predominantly affected cell series
It can be divided into lymphocytic leukemia and non-lymphocytic (myeloid) leukemia. Acute leukemia
AL can be divided into acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (ALL) leukemia, AML).
chronic leukemia
CL can be divided into chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (chronic lymphocytic leukemia, CLL) and rare types of leukemia such as hairy cell leukemia, prolymphocytic leukemia and so on.
Many people are as nervous as they see death when they hear about leukemia. In fact, with the advancement of medical technology, the current leukemia is not equivalent to a terminal illness. Don’t panic too much.
The leukemia that children are more susceptible to is acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is characterized by abnormal proliferation and aggregation of immature lymphocytes in bone marrow and lymphoid tissues, and is more common in children.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia was the first tumor in the world to be cured by chemotherapy. Especially in developed countries, the 5-year survival rate has exceeded 85%. Why talk about the 5-year survival rate? Because most cancers recur within 5 years, if there is no recurrence within 5 years, it basically means cure.
Relevant examination of leukemiaAt that time, Bingbing often suffered from unexplained nosebleeds and headaches, and had to seek the cause from multiple consultations. . What tests can be done when leukemia is suspected or diagnosedWhat about auxiliary diagnosis and observation of curative effect?
- blood count
abnormal levels of visible Platelets, white blood cells, abnormal white blood cell ratio or count, and primary and immature cells can be seen in white blood cell classification.
- blood chemistry
leukemia, special During chemotherapy, transaminases may increase, serum uric acid concentration, uric acid excretion, and serum lactate dehydrogenase may increase.
- Bone marrow biopsy strong>
Bone marrow samples are taken from the iliac bones, etc., and leukemia cells are found through laboratory tests. And through the leukemia cell characteristics, typing and so on to determine the treatment plan.
- cytochemical staining
is a morphological diagnosis It can be used to differentiate acute myeloid leukemia from acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
- Immunotyping
- Karyotyping and Molecular Biology li>
ul>Using flow cytometry, the patient’s bone marrow or peripheral blood samples are detected by a variety of specific antibodies to detect the characteristic antigen expression pattern of leukemia cells, thereby identifying the source of leukemia cells and determining their unique phenotypes. It plays an important role in determining the type of leukemia, and also has important clinical value in the detection of curative effect after treatment.
It is mainly used to check the genetic abnormality of leukemia, for diagnosis, classification and prognosis evaluation.
Bingbing received standardized and systematic treatment immediately after her leukemia was detected. Moreover, Bingbing’s mother is also a pediatrician. She has been accompanying Bingbing since she fell ill. She has always found the best relationship and the best doctor to treat Bingbing. It stands to reason that Bingbing enjoys the best medical resources she can receive, and has a professional pediatrician to accompany her and take care of her. She should not have died in such a short time. Why did Bingbing, who has always been healthy, suddenly develop leukemia? Why did he die so soon? This series of questions has been haunting Bingbing’s father. Distraught, he decided to redecorate his daughter’s room and enlisted the help of Uncle Bingbing, an interior designer. But it was such a decision that revealed the real reason for Bingbing’s death.
In addition, when he entered the room, he smelled a strange smell. Like “benzene” in paint. What is benzene? Class I carcinogens are mostly hidden in inferior decoration materials, and long-term exposure has a great probability of causing cancer.. Thinking of this, my uncle suddenly felt that things were not simple, and all the seemingly accidental experiences were more like someone carefully planned. Immediately, he borrowed professional testing equipment and rushed back to Bingbing’s room. Sure enough, after testing, the benzene in the room exceeded the standard3.3 times, and the formaldehyde exceeds the standard by 2.4 times. What’s even scarier is that this is the test result a year or two later, and Bingbing has been living in this room until then.
Because we are mainly targeting formaldehyde, and in decoration, the chemical pollutants that may exceed the standard are not only formaldehyde, but also formaldehyde. There are benzene, ammonia, radon and TVOC. Such as the above story, is the best example. Actually, Bingbing’s leukemia is not as simple as excessive formaldehyde, and other chemical pollutants are definitely exceeding the standard. However, the technology at that time was limited, and only formaldehyde and benzene could be detected. Then why are there so many excessive chemical pollutants in Bingbing’s room? So much so that Bingbing, who was only 5 years old, got sick and died…
It turns out that Bingbing’s pediatrician mother is not Bingbing’s biological mother, but My uncle is indeed my biological uncle…Bingbing is the child of my father and “Little San”. When Dad was abandoned by “Little San” and decided to return to the family, the original partner accepted it “with joy” His return, and Bingbing “as his own”. When my uncle told Bingbing’s father what he had found, he still didn’t want to believe that such a good mother would do such a thing. The two came to the building materials market and found the boss who sold them decoration materials at that time. The boss admitted that all the materials came from his home, but before choosing the materials, the boss had already explained the dangers of such materials, emphasizing that they could not be used indoors. < strong>But “Mother Bingbing”, who was in charge of the decoration at that time, didn’t want to hear it at all, and insisted on using these materials
