After splenectomy, a person may develop thrombocytosis that sometimes exceed 1000 Ã 109 / L. The removal of the spleen is what causes high platelets in some patients after the surgery. The platelet count usually returns to normal within a few weeks or months.
Chinese broccoli is a dark green leafy vegetable in the Brassica oleracea group, which includes broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, kale, and cauliflower. The plant goes by a number of aliases, many of them variations on gai lan, the Chinese name for the vegetable, such as gai lon, kat na, jie lan, and kai lan.
Gai lan (also written as kai-lan; Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra) is the Chinese name for a vegetable that is also known as Chinese broccoli or Chinese kale. It is a leaf vegetable featuring thick, flat, glossy blue-green leaves with thick stems with flower heads, similar to but much smaller than broccoli. Broccoli and gai lan belong to the same species Brassica oleracea, but gai lan is in the group alboglabra (from Latin albus white and glabrus hairless). Its flavor is very similar to that of broccoli, but slightly more bitter. It is also noticeably stronger. 1 Hybrids.
