The four people walked out of the gate and boarded the carriage. As the wheels turned, the vehicle slowly drove forward.
Chai Chai looked out the window at the luxurious mansion receding away, and sighed sincerely: "Things in the world are impermanent."
"Um."
Li Leling nodded, "Shopkeeper Jin was born into a poor family. When he was a teenager, he carried rice at the dock and set up a stall on the street. He started from scratch and accumulated so much wealth before he was appreciated by my mother-in-law, Aye.
People often say that if he has a little bit of spiritual talent, he can become a great practitioner with his will, perseverance and luck.
Unexpectedly, he would suddenly become terminally ill. "
After that, she thought about it and hesitated: "By the way, is cancer really a matter of probability?"
"Um."
Li Ang nodded and said: "Cancer is essentially when normal cells mutate into bad cells. Bad cells divide out of control and continue to proliferate, affecting the operation of organs and eventually leading to human death.
Human cells are as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges River. They undergo replication and division every day, and cell mutations will always occur.
Even if 99% of the bad cells are discovered and eliminated at the beginning, as long as a tiny bit of bad cells escape, they may develop into cancer.
It's similar to 'if you often walk by the river, your shoes won't get wet'.
Assuming that a person does not work in dusty places such as mines, never stays up too late, drinks too much, never eats too much pickled food, and never is exposed to the sun violently, he may still get cancer throughout his life.
Some time ago, I visited patients of all ages in Chang'an City.
By the age of 40, the cumulative cancer risk is about 23%.
By the age of fifty-five, the cumulative cancer rate is approximately 6%.
By the age of seventy-four, the cumulative cancer rate is 21%.
By age 85, the cumulative cancer rate is 36%.
In other words, if there are no other causes of death, then the average person has a one-third chance of developing cancer in his or her lifetime. "
A one-third probability is by no means optimistic.
Li Leling asked: "Then...is there a cure?"
"What is a radical cure?"
Li Ang asked back: "People continue to produce cancer cells every day, but these cancer cells are eliminated by the human body itself.
In addition, even the most regular-shaped tumors can be removed using mind-thread surgery.
There is no guarantee that cancer cells will not escape and become dormant. Waiting for a comeback in three, five, ten years.
There is never a cure.
A more rigorous statement is to reduce the possibility of recurrence.
The earlier it is discovered, the sooner it can be removed, and the sooner it can be cured. "
Speaking of the word cure, Li Ang paused.
Cancer cure methods include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, etc. Usually used in combination.
But at this stage, the only reliable drug he can think of is paclitaxel.
Paclitaxel is a natural anti-cancer drug isolated and purified from the bark of the yew tree. It has a serious allergic reaction in the human body.
Paclitaxel albumin nanoparticles with relatively mild allergic reactions and better effects can be prepared by first dissolving the paclitaxel raw material in an organic solution to obtain an oil phase;
Weigh bovine serum albumin and dissolve it in water, stir and heat to obtain an albumin aqueous solution, adjust the pH value, and add an organic solution to obtain a water phase.
Under high-speed shearing, the oil phase is added dropwise to the water phase to form an oil-in-water emulsion, which is then transferred to a high-pressure microjet nanodisperser for high-pressure homogenization, and then the organic solvent is removed by rotary evaporation, finally obtaining Aqueous solution of paclitaxel and albumin nanoparticles.
The whole process was cumbersome and complicated, and the accuracy requirements for the instrument far exceeded all the drugs Li Ang had prepared before. He didn't have much confidence in its success.
Even if it succeeds, the cure of cancer is still a matter of probability...
Li Ang couldn't help but recall the words from Jun Qianzi relayed by Yajiu a long time ago.
If the use of alienated substances is liberalized, many problems in the world will no longer be problems.
The Dongjun Tower stores the alienated objects collected by the Academy over the past hundreds of years. If Li Ang has enough authority to check the information on each alien and study the uses of each alien,
He can completely use the knowledge of other worlds in his mind to do many things.
For example, the information network spread throughout the Yu Kingdom, modern agriculture that can feed everyone in the world, cargo ships with a load capacity of 100,000 tons...
Even within my lifetime, I will realize my wish to ensure that every citizen of Yu State has enough food and clothing, social fairness and justice, and people to live and work in peace and contentment...
"Shopkeeper Jin is so rich, but life and death are inevitable. Even great practitioners, very few can live past the age of 120. Life is short, take pleasure in the moment. Eat and drink when you should, and don't forget to worry about things. "
Chai Chai said seriously: "We're all out anyway, why don't we go to the Red Mansion for dinner?"
"Is this what you feel today?"
Li Ang rolled his eyes, and Chai Chai's head became brighter as soon as he talked about eating. Li Leling was also in the car. If he went to the Red Mansion, he could go directly to the private room without queuing.
It would be great to use this smart energy in study or practice.
Having said that, Li Ang still stuck his head out of the car window, said hello to the coachman, and asked the carriage to drive towards the red building in the east of the city.
"Great!"
Chai Chai clapped his hands happily, took out a roll of flaky hawthorn candy wrapped in oil paper from his arms, picked up two pieces and threw them into his mouth - hawthorn can help digestion and avoid overeating after eating.
She was humming while eating sweets, feeling happy and swinging her feet back and forth, dispelling the dullness and depression in the carriage.
Li Ang, Li Leling, and Ouyang Shi looked at Chai Chai, with unconscious smiles on their faces.
Life is short, take pleasure in the moment. That’s a good thing to say.
Li Ang leaned against the window edge, resting his chin on his palm, looking out at the street scene through the occasionally fluttering curtains. I smiled a little self-deprecatingly in my heart.
Sometimes I really wish there weren’t so many vast memories in my mind.
It is precisely because of this information that Li Ang feels that with greater ability comes greater responsibility, and that there is an unshirkable sense of mission behind his "travel" and "awakening". Although he is only a teenager, his mentality is more like that of an aging man.
etc.
Li Ang suddenly thought of something, his brows wrinkled imperceptibly, Chai Chai's words echoed in his ears.
Even great practitioners, very few can live past the age of 120...
A great practitioner has a long life...
Li Ang retracted his arm that was pressed against the window edge and thought quickly.
If you think about it, it's really strange. A high-level monk in the Cloud Patrol Realm like Senior Sister Sui Yi can travel thousands of miles in one day and smash a pavilion with one sword.
And Zhuxiao monks like Jianquan, Lu Qingya, Xuegong Siye, and Cardinal Taihaoshan can directly change the celestial phenomena and terrain.
Given enough time, it can even destroy a medium-sized city.
Such great practitioners are essentially two different creatures from ordinary people.
Above it, there are even existences at the level of the Academy Master and the Cardinal of Mount Taihao.
Great cultivators have concentrated thousands of great powers into one body, but throughout the ages and in the long history, no one has been able to break through the limit of life span and break through the five declines of heaven and man.
The so-called immortality pills, elixirs, turtle breath techniques, and even the devouring of Qi and blood by demon cultivators cannot make people achieve immortality, and no one can even live past one hundred and forty years.
I have to say, it's really strange.
