"Painting is redemption! Chen, a famous doctor who won the medical prize, picked up the brush again and found his original intention.

Amniocentesis expert in Taiwan Province Province, winner of the 29th Medical Dedication Award, former vice president of MacKay Hospital, which built the top gene eugenics team in Taiwan Province Province ... These are the first impressions of the name "Chen". However, out of the White Pagoda, this bright-eyed obstetrician and gynecologist prefers to hold a brush freely in his spare time rather than a scalpel. He described painting as a kind of redemption for him and an emotional hub that has been passed down for four generations.

Looking back on the proudest thing in his medical career, Chen said without hesitation, "I saved many children who didn't exist." 」

In the eyes of ordinary people, "obstetrics and gynecology" is different from other disciplines full of patients and should be the closest to "rebirth and hope", but in fact, there is often a thin line between life and death. Even if the child is finally pregnant, if it is diagnosed as a teratoma with abnormal chromosomes, it will inevitably face the fate of being taken away.

"Imagine a situation, you are 42 years old this year, and your husband spent a lot of money to do IVF several times. This is your last chance. The doctor told you that 40% of the cells in the fetus have chromosomal abnormalities, which are probably malformations. Do you dare to bet? 」

This scene has been staged in Chen's clinic countless times, and the couple in shock asked the doctor for help with begging and flustered eyes. However, for such a probability question, most doctors are afraid and unwilling to give a definite answer. More often, the doctor will gently advise, "Forget it, don't gamble, there is still a chance …". 」

But is there really a next chance? For more and more elderly women now, there is only a little hope left in their stomachs.

No one speaks for the fetus with "chromosomal abnormality" ... Isn't genetic testing a black-and-white "normal" and "abnormal" examination? Why are there "normal and abnormal", "mosaic" and "possibly teratogenic cases"? Chen explained that most amniotic fluid test results are clear, that is, normal or abnormal. However, less than 0. 1% of cases are "mosaic chromosome abnormalities", that is to say, many cells in amniotic fluid have chromosomes, cells with normal chromosomes and cells with abnormal chromosomes. This mosaic chromosome abnormality is the most difficult to consult.

The higher the probability of fetal abnormality, the less parents and doctors dare to keep the fetus. But Chen Faxian, these children who were sentenced to induced labor because of "probability", some of them were taken out from their mothers, and their appearance and fetal chromosome examination were normal. In other words, such abnormal diagnosis deprives many basically healthy children of their right to live.

"Life! Guarding the imaginary child, Chen Faxian solved the problem of detection failure. To this end, Chen conducted a thorough study, and he found that the problem lies in the culture of amniotic fluid cells. In the traditional chromosome production of gene detection, amniotic fluid cells are cultured first, and then the cultured cells are used for detection. However, in some cases judged as "chimera chromosome abnormality", the cultured amniotic fluid cells will be inaccurate because of the culture process. If the extracted uncultured amniotic fluid cells are simultaneously detected by molecular biotechnology without cell culture, false mosaic chromosome abnormalities or low mosaic chromosome abnormalities can be found.

He also found that the rate of abnormal cells in fetal mosaic chromosomes detected in the second trimester of pregnancy will decrease with the increase of gestational age, and when the neonatal somatic cells are detected by fluorescent probe molecular biotechnology after birth, the abnormal cells in chromosomes become few or almost impossible to find. It's perfectly normal to move forward. This is the process in which the fetus successfully saves itself. In this way, these children have a lower risk of being deformed at birth.

With sufficient evidence, Chen has confidence. He showed all the data before and after training to his parents and told them, "Health! And God didn't live up to his pains to his parents. Although traditional tests have pointed out that there are problems, the children born are normal.

Fifty lives that didn't exist originally became living children skipping around the clinic. "My most touching moment was a mother taking a lively child to the clinic. She told the child, "Without Dr. Pingping Chen, you would be a nonexistent child. This gave Chen great encouragement.

In fact, before convincing his parents, it is even sadder that Chen is in his heart. After all, is it necessary to gamble your reputation and future for a child you have never met?

"But I am a humanitarian. Chen chose to stand up for these "nonexistent babies". He knows that no one will speak for these children except himself. He persuaded these wandering parents to leave one by one, and then he personally ushered in a healthy and strong new life.

Now, Chen has become the last hope of the parents of this "mosaic chromosome abnormality" fetus. Most doctors dare not decide. They will advise their parents to "go to Chen". He lived up to expectations and saved at least 50 such children. The experience is written into a paper, and a new standard process is established, which is included in the classic medical textbook Chromosome Abnormality and Genetic Counseling, so as to avoid more innocent disasters in the future.

Painting is four generations under one roof, and Chen's brush enriches his father's dream. In fact, this skilled doctor will probably become a full-time painter if he follows his father's expectations. Chen said with a smile, his family has a deep relationship with art. His grandfather Chen Kaiquan studied under China's great painter Liu Haisu, and after graduating from the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, he entered middle school as an art teacher, and was also a classmate of the great artist Li Keran. Unfortunately, because a son came to Taiwan Province Province during the Cultural Revolution, in the last year of the Cultural Revolution, his wife and his first wife were criticized and died, and no works were handed down.

Chen Zuru, Chen's father, has made outstanding achievements in the field of calligraphy. The genes of art have long been written in Chen's genes, and he has shown extraordinary artistic talent since he was a child. "My father wants to encourage me to develop painting, but I can study and I want to study. Father saw that I studied well and was admitted to the Department of Medicine. Later, he never mentioned letting me paint. 」

But my father's expectations, in fact, did not fade away. "My eldest daughter, Chen, likes music since she was a child. Piano and cello are her major and minor subjects in Ren Guang primary school music class. But my youngest daughter, Chen, likes painting since she was a child. Give her a pen and you can draw and draw like this. My father, You, saw the painting (Chen's daughter's nickname) and framed her. It is called "Picata, Picata." Chen recalled with a smile.

Later, Tian Tian did not choose painting as a career, but followed his parents and sister to become a doctor. Chen is busy with medicine. He never thought that one day he would return to his old job and fulfill his father's artistic dream.

Painting accident has become a new topic in the family. From 2065438 to February 2003, Chen fell into a low tide in his life, which became a turning point for him to regain his brush. I came across the book "Invisible President: Professor Yin 10 Lesson" written by the president of Runtai Group, and I was deeply impressed. I hope to draw a card as a gift.

"I asked my secretary to buy me a box of crayons, so I drew on A4 paper. I was afraid it would look too thin, so I took it to the photo studio to protect my back. " To Chen's surprise, she returned a pot of orchids after receiving the greeting card. This move greatly increased Chen's confidence that he had not painted for decades.

So, he began to draw with crayons, with the characteristics of a surgeon. Chen began to accumulate works quickly at the rate of painting for up to 3 hours every day. His painting style is very special. Usually, western paintings are painted on an easel, but Chen is laid flat on the table, which is the same as China's traditional Chinese painting.

This painting is six years and six months. Chen's painting tools changed from crayons to brushes, and he also accumulated 65,438+00 works. But what surprised Chen most was that painting and his family opened a new topic.

"I usually see teratomas, and the bloody family members don't want to see or listen. But after I started painting, as soon as I put it on the table, my wife and daughter would comment and the interaction between my family would increase. He recalled that once his eldest daughter saw him draw a pair of penguins and a little penguin, pretending to be delicious, and complained to him that he was partial and only drew his sister, but not his sister.

"I don't know where she treats penguins as people! Chen laughed, and his mother came out and made a circle and said, "I drew you, when your sister was not born!" " "Speaking of their daughter, the tone is full of spoil.

Painting is a kind of redemption! Thinking about the origin of life through painting, Chen's paintings are just like people. His vivid brushstrokes, either abstract or realistic, are recording his understanding of life. Strangely, as an obstetrician and gynecologist, he seldom writes about similar topics.

In this regard, Chen said that painting is a trace of the origin of life. For him, painting can be said to be a primitive instinct and a kind of redemption, which predates his medical experience. Therefore, the self-surrender of painting is a more heartfelt performance.

In his works, there are landscapes with humanistic themes, creations inspired by new poems and traditional poems, and some of them are the understanding of life captured when the light comes.

Compared with landscape painting, chen more likes freehand brushwork. Painting is an exploration of the soul. He combined imagination with cursive script to create a series of works. As a non-professional person, he can travel more freely in the hall of painting without the rules and regulations of a painter.

"Painting can calm the tension and anxiety, and it can also improve the therapeutic effect. Chen Dui said: This master of obstetrics and gynecology who has been wandering in Xinglin for many years unexpectedly found the pure land of the soul through the brush, and showed his humanistic care here.
