A few days ago, the mainland gave Taiwan giant panda " Tuantuan " a result of epilepsy and necrosis of brain lesions. The condition was urgent, which attracted attention from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. On October 31, a staff member of Taipei Zoo told Nandu reporters, "At present, the hind limb weakness of 'tuanttuan' has slightly relieved, and there is no significant loss of weight, but there are still symptoms of decreased appetite. The zoo has invited experts from the Giant Panda Protection Research Center located in Wolong, Sichuan to visit and exchange, hoping that mainland experts can assist in diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible."
It is reported that the mainland's giant panda "tuanttuan" has successively experienced symptoms of hind limb weakness and decreased appetite since October 16. In order to confirm the condition of "tuanttuan" as soon as possible, the zoo medical consulting group conducted two magnetic examinations on "tuanttuan". On October 26, the second magnetic examination of Tuantuan showed that the lesion area was significantly expanded, the course of the disease progressed rapidly, and the probability of suffering from malignant brain tumors was greatly increased. Due to failure to perform invasive section examination, the cause of the disease cannot be confirmed 100%.
On October 31, a staff member of Taipei Zoo told Nandu reporters, "Brain lesions are often irreversible, but we hope that the condition of 'tuantuan' will not develop so quickly. In addition to using anti-epileptic drugs for 'tuantuan', we also continue to observe its intake, defecation and activity. At present, the weakness of 'tuantuan's hind limbs has been slightly relieved, and its weight has not dropped significantly, but its intake is still less than before. I hope this situation can be further stabilized."
In response to the mainland's disease of the giant panda "tuantuan" given to Taiwan, Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said in response to reporters' questions on the 28th that the Giant Panda Protection Research Center plans to select two diagnosis and treatment and nursing experts to Taiwan to participate in the treatment and nursing work of "tuantuan". It is currently assisting relevant mainland parties in Taiwan to handle the procedures for going to Taiwan.
Ma Xiaoguang introduced that the Giant Panda Protection Research Center established an expert group in late September to maintain close contact with the Taipei Zoo, continue to pay attention to the treatment of "Tuantuan", and provide relevant technical support. On the afternoon of October 27, after receiving an invitation letter from Taipei Zoo for assistance, the center plans to select two experts to Taiwan to participate in the treatment and nursing of "Tuantuan". He expressed his hope that with the joint concern and support of all parties on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, "Tuantuan" will receive better treatment and care and overcome difficulties.
31, Taipei Zoo staff also told Nandu reporters, "At present, both parties are processing relevant documents, and hope to handle them as soon as possible so that mainland experts can come to Taipei to assist in diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible."
