Patient's question:
A child who is almost four months old, CT scan indicates that brain cells may have already died, and the brain has not developed. Full-term, delivered vaginally. At birth, it was said that the delivery took too long and there was a lack of oxygen. Now, the doctor has requested the administration of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) for rehabilitation treatment, but it cannot be guaranteed whether the child will be healthy when grown up. Is there any other hospital that can treat this?Doctor's answer:
Neurons and cardiomyocytes are non-regenerative cells. Hypoxia-induced local ischemic infarction can indeed cause the death of some neurons. And this process is irreversible. Although brain cells cannot regenerate after death, some of their functions can be replaced. This requires postnatal exercise and cultivation. It is recommended to eat egg yolks, soybeans, lean meat, milk, fish, animal organs (heart, brain, liver, kidneys), and carrots, as well as grains. These foods are not only rich in lecithin but are also easy to digest. They also have a positive effect on the development of children's brain tissue.
