Chapter 832 The First Nobel Prize (Third update, please subscribe)
Sometimes, some things happen suddenly.
Just when Zhang Wenguang was preparing for his thesis, a call for help from Tzu Chi Hospital in Kuching made him hesitate.
What to do now?
Should we perform this operation?
Although there have been successes in animal testing, this is a procedure performed on humans.
That is, human testing!
Is it safe to conduct such an experiment?
The hesitant Zhang Wenguang naturally found the top management of the Army Hospital.
“If there is a chance to save the patient, then the hospital will support the operation, but the patient must be informed of the risks of the operation.”
The answer from the hospital's top management paved the way for the operation.
The green light has been turned on, and the hospital has begun preparations for the transplant operation in full swing. The patient was then sent to Chang'an via ambulance from Kuching.
But the real difficulty is not the technical issue, but the moral issue behind this operation - they are about to remove a fresh organ from a healthy person and put it into another patient in the body.
More than ten years ago, the Nazis used concentration camp prisoners to conduct in vivo experiments. Is this a similar crime?
Especially these, the accusations against Nanyang for hosting Nazis have never stopped. Will this become a basis for others to accuse Nanyang?
And the attitude of the person involved is also very important. Does he really understand what "losing a kidney" means?
As a doctor, Zhang Wenguang didn’t know what it meant to lose a kidney.
Although there is data showing that losing a kidney has little impact on life, the data are thin.
“Do we really need both kidneys, or is the second one just a backup?”
Everything is full of unknowns.
In the end, the medical team could only tell all the truth to Sun Zhiyu, who was preparing to donate, and state the hospital's position. They neither approved nor opposed the operation, and even emphasized:
"Mr. Sun, in fact, we There is no guarantee whether this will be useful."
Faced with the doctor's confession, Sun Zhiyu also fell into a deep struggle, but he knew that his kidney was the only hope for his brother's survival. There is no other way.
After leaving the doctor's office, Sun Zhiyu came to the ward again. Sun Zhihe, who was suffering from uremia in the hospital bed, already knew what his brother was going to do and yelled at his brother:< br>
"Get out! Go home! Brother, go back..."
The sound of "brother" made Sun Zhiyu shed tears. At this moment, he made up his mind,
"Third brother, eldest brother is here. And I will stay and be with you all the time."
This is his brother, save him no matter what!
September 23rd morning, 8:15.
Chang'an, Army General Hospital, everything is ready.
In the operating room on the sixth floor, the doctors were wearing sterile surgical gowns, masks and gloves, their eyes focused and firm.
Looking around at the crowd, Zhang Wenguang took a deep breath and ordered.
“Start the operation.”
Professor Joseph, who is also the director of the Department of Urology, personally removed a fresh kidney from Sun Zhiyu’s body, and the kidney was immediately sent to the operating room next door. Perform a transplant.
This is a race against time. The moment it is removed, the kidney will have no fresh oxygen and nutrients to maintain its operation. The medical team must transplant it into the patient as quickly as possible. There is no room for error.
At 10:10 a.m., the medical team began the transplant operation. Zhang Wenguang had accumulated rich experience in many previous animal experiments and was familiar with the entire process. The kidney is transplanted into the lower abdomen and the ureter is connected to the bladder.
As the most outstanding surgeon at the Army General Hospital, the entire operation ended after one hour and twenty-two minutes, and then it was time for verification.
When Zhang Wenguang removed the clamp from the blood vessel and the blood flowed into the transplanted kidney, the entire operating room was silent. Many people in the operating room secretly clasped their palms and prayed to God and fate to deal with these two things. People smile.
Finally, when the kidneys began to discharge clean, clear yellow urine, cheers erupted throughout the operating room. A doctor involved in the operation said from the side:
“I never thought that people would be so eager to see urine one day.”
Two hours later, the two brothers woke up one after another.
The next step is to take drugs that inhibit rejection. Although mercaptopurine has been successfully tested on orangutans, what about humans?
In the next few days, Zhang Wenguang stayed in the hospital and checked Sun Zhihe several times every day.
Under the careful care of the medical staff, the patient recovered quickly The expected organ rejection was successfully suppressed by the drug. In just one week, Sun Zhihe's appetite increased, his face returned to rosy, and his previous aggressive behaviors disappeared. The patient made an almost complete recovery, which marked the success of the surgery. They finally completed the world's first organ transplant.
On September 30, many newspapers in Chang'an published the news of "Dr. Zhang Wenguang Completed the World's First Organ Transplantation". The newspapers not only published photos, but also reported this pioneering work in lengthy texts.
However, it seems that the response among the people is not great, because most people do not know its significance.
No one seems to realize that this groundbreaking medical advancement will change the lives of many people and millions of patients will survive in the future. Of course, there will be countless powerful and wealthy people who will live longer and better lives, and there will even be a black market for human organs and other evils.
But no matter what, this is a medical progress worth mentioning, and it is destined to go down in history.
“This is an invention worthy of a Nobel Prize!”
Looking at the news in the "Chang'an Evening News", Li Yian was surprised. While surprised, he carefully read the report, not even willing to miss a word.
It can be seen from the report that Zhang Wenguang’s group not only creatively completed the world’s first successful human organ transplant operation, but also developed anti-rejection drugs. It was through taking drugs that inhibited the growth of organs. Rejection in the patient's body.
“Tsk tsk, I really didn’t expect it, I really didn’t expect it...”
After using two “I really didn’t expect it” words in succession, what Li Yian saw was not just the possibility of organ transplantation in the future How many people can be saved? After all, this is something that everyone knows. It can not only save people, but also harm people. After all, in order to survive, the rich and powerful will do whatever it takes. They can replace a few hearts, or they can All the replaceable organs in the body were replaced.
In addition, Li Yian also saw the Nobel Prize - in another world, the American doctor Hamer won the Nobel Prize in Physiology precisely for his contribution to "research on human organ and cell transplantation" or medicine award.
The completion of this operation is bound to bring a Nobel Prize. Although it will be decades later. However, good things are not afraid of being late.
“This is the first Nobel Prize in the true sense of Nanyang!”
Li Yian said to himself.
Although Nanyang has won two Nobel Prizes in the past few years-Tang Hideki's Physics Prize and Schatz's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the invention of streptomycin, the former is of Japanese descent , Yukawa Hideki's research results were obtained in Japan, while Schatz is an American, and most of his research results were obtained in the United States.
But what about this time?
This time is a scientific initiative that truly belongs to the Nanyang people themselves!
Not only was the inventor himself a native of the Tang Dynasty, but he also received medical education in Nanyang, which also means that this Nobel Prize is of great value to Nanyang - marking that higher education in Nanyang has entered a new stage - —Not only can we cultivate talents, but we can also cultivate world-class talents.
“I didn’t expect that!”
Looking at the news in the newspaper, Li Yian couldn’t help but sigh.
“This is really a harvest season.”
Win a Nobel Prize!
The more you gain, the better!
Thinking of this, Li Yian couldn't help laughing again.
Because he himself is destined to become a Nobel Prize winner. After all, he invented the integrated circuit.
As the inventor of the idea of integrated circuits, he will definitely win the Nobel Prize in the future.
It's just that we have to wait...how many more years?
Thinking about his Nobel Prize, the smile on Li Yian's face became brighter.
There are many politicians in this world who have won the Nobel Peace Prize, but that politician once won the Nobel Prize in Physics.
This will definitely be written into history in the future...
