Chapter 626 We want to build a world-class laboratory
Mr. Wu's knee-preserving surgery aroused rich associations between Robert and Director Gao.
In the future, cultivation technology or 3D printing technology can be used to create qualified knee joint cartilage, and then perform cartilage replacement like artificial joint replacement, replacing all worn out and discarded joint cartilage with new ones.
Just like a car with new tires, an older person can have younger joints.
Although artificial joints solve the problem of pain and provide pain-free joints, they cannot be compared in function with normal human knee joints, and there are many restrictions on their use, and they still have a certain service life.
At present, many teams are conducting research on cartilage cultivation, but they are all in the initial stage. Whether it is cultivated or 3D printed cartilage, there is a big gap between it and real cartilage and it is not effective at all.
Strictly speaking, real cartilage has not yet been grown or printed.
Robert and Director Gao, these two foreign brothers gathered around the computer to study the surgery video.
They both major in sports medicine, so they have found like-minded partners. They get together from time to time to discuss cases, study surgeries, and call themselves brothers.
They also often perform this kind of cylindrical cartilage transplant surgery, but Professor Yang's surgery is obviously different. The transplanted cartilage not only reshapes the shape of the medial condyle, but also predicts where the new load-bearing point will be after osteotomy. The cartilage graft is then arranged around this weight-bearing point.
The weight-bearing point will move along with the line of force, which involves some kind of geometric knowledge.
Using geometric knowledge to predict the load-bearing point of the medial condyle after uniform settlement and transplanting the limited cartilage to the new load-bearing point of the medial condyle is the key point of the surgery. Director Gao and Robert learned another trick.
The two were lying on the desk, pointing at the computer, and quarreling from time to time. When others saw this, they thought it was the old-looking intern discussing the case.
After the video was played, Lao Gao pulled out the USB flash drive and hung it around his neck. It was so convenient that he could download the surgical information at any time, then go back and study it carefully. If there was anything he didn't understand, he would find an opportunity to ask Yang Ping for advice.
In this way, Yang Ping's technologies are mastered one by one and combined to form the entire technical system.
Lao Gao and Robert still didn't understand the principle behind the key steps of the operation, so they decided to ask Yang Ping.
Director Gao hung a USB flash drive around his neck, took Robert with him, and opened Yang Ping's office. After poking his head behind his head, Lao Gao said shamelessly: "Professor Yang, there are still some things we don't understand about this knee-preserving surgery. Can we I can’t waste a few minutes of your time, tell me something - I’m going to treat you to a place nearby for dinner tonight.”
Yang Ping has always been fond of Director Gao's enthusiasm. He also wants to spread his skills, so he always patiently explains Director Gao's questions.
come over!
Yang Ping waved to the two heads at the door, and then turned the computer screen so that everyone could see it clearly.
Lao Gao and Robert got together and surrounded the screen.
On the computer screen are X-rays of the knee joint and full-length films of the lower limbs, with some lines and triangles on them.
Director Gao expressed his doubts: "After cutting off the fibula, the inner and outer sides of the tibial platform will settle evenly. This is a routine knee-preserving operation. Professor, you can add cartilage transplantation to this operation. We just studied the video. Your cartilage The transplantation is very particular and almost reshapes the new load-bearing point of the medial condyle? We don’t understand how to find this load-bearing point, because in this case, the medial condyle has long been deformed and lost its previous curvature. It is not easy to find a new load-bearing point. "
Yang Ping pointed to the lines and triangles on the computer: "Look here, this is the line connecting the centers of the inner and outer condyles, this is the line of force, this is the perpendicular line between the line of force and the line, this is the line connecting the weight point of the lateral condyle with the line Parallel lines, this is the stress point. I am very familiar with these anatomical structures, so I don’t need to use auxiliary equipment to position it. If you do this surgery, you can use the knee replacement guide to position it.”
< br>
Master’s words are worth three years of work!
Because Yang Ping is extremely proficient in anatomy and can clearly form spatial compositions in his mind, he can quickly find those dots and lines without the aid of these instruments.
If other people don't understand the mystery and follow the video to perform this kind of surgery, they can't find the stress point at all. The transplanted cartilage is also piled up in a mess and has no effect. Moreover, after the operation, it will cause pain due to lack of stress. Generally speaking, the transplanted cartilage will wear out quickly, and the final surgical effect will naturally be poor.
If various knee replacement guides can be flexibly used in this kind of surgery to guide the search for force lines and various points and lines, then the problem will be greatly simplified.
Director Gao and Robert finally understood, and the two brothers nodded at the same time.
If I hadn't been thick-skinned and chased after Professor Yang to break the casserole to find out the truth, I didn't know how long it would take to figure it out on my own before I could pierce through this layer of window paper.
Yang Ping was discussing knee-preserving surgery with Director Gao and Robert. Song Zimo came over and said: "Professor! Tang Shun will return to China in the next few days, and he will come to Sanbo Hospital to see you."
"Okay, let's make an appointment and I'll have a talk with him." Yang Ping was very concerned about team building.
If you want to do something big, how can you do it without forming a team?
——
Dean Xia took Director Han, Director Sun and others in a wide circle around the hospital.
Dean Sun didn't know what medicine Dean Xia was selling in his gourd today. After the morning meeting, he took everyone for a walk.
Dean Xia threw the branch in his hand on the ground: "This land is the best. How about using it to build a laboratory?"
When Sanbo Hospital was built, this was not the city center, so the government was so generous and gave such a large piece of land. Now, the government would never agree.
This piece of land in the northwest corner of the campus has been left unused and turned into a small forest. Now Dean Xia proposed to use it to build a laboratory.
Dean Sun was obviously surprised: "Use this land to build a laboratory?"
It’s just a hospital, does it need such a big laboratory? Even university laboratories are not so generous.
The current buildings of Sanbo Hospital are all left over from when the hospital was built, and no infrastructure construction was carried out during the process. Director Xia said that the house is enough, and the money should be used to train doctors and improve doctors' remuneration and benefits.
Now he suddenly proposes to carry out infrastructure construction and build a laboratory, which is obviously not in line with Lao Xia's consistent philosophy.
The first vice president, Dean Sun, didn't know why Dean Xia had such a plan. He took everyone around the hospital to patrol, just to talk about this matter?
Among the colleagues present, only Director Han strongly agreed with this matter. The others had different expressions. Even if they agreed on the surface, they seemed extremely reluctant. This was what Dean Xia expected. He nodded in response to Dean Sun's surprise, and then said with ambition:
"You can't do it without a good laboratory! You only see it now, but you don't see that ten years from now, twenty years from now, fifty years from now, we will not only build laboratories, but also build world-class laboratories. The sycamore tree attracts the phoenix to live there. Our hospital now has a golden phoenix. Without the sycamore tree, sooner or later it would be impossible to keep it. To tell you the truth, I built this laboratory for Yang Ping. Originally, I thought that the eight-story building had already It was enough, I found out later He said that the laboratory must be newly built, and many experimental equipment have strict requirements on the environment. For example, cryo-electron microscopy requires a separate house to be built, and there are special standards for the foundation, so no matter how the building is renovated, it cannot meet the standards. The land should be cleared first, and we can discuss things slowly, plant the sycamore trees, and keep the golden phoenixes. Let me tell you, there will be many phoenixes inhabiting our Sanbo Hospital in the future.”
But money, where does money come from?
Dean Sun is worried about this again. This is not a problem that a little money can solve.
For a world-class laboratory, it would be calculated in billions, which is probably too big a deal.
Dean Sun and several vice-deans felt a little nervous. They are very sensitive to large-scale infrastructure construction now, not to mention so much money involved.
Dean Xia looked at the sky in the distance and came back to his senses: "I have already thought about the money. There are many ways. You can ask the Overseas Chinese Foundation and I will be the lobbyist; you can also talk to the hospital's drug and equipment suppliers. Talk about delaying the payment for several years; in the end, if it doesn’t work, you can still use the hospital’s savings.”
"How many years have you delayed the payment? I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"
Dean Sun was very worried, and several other vice-deans also looked sad.
"There's nothing wrong with it. If you don't want to, just quit our supplier. If you want to continue, just cooperate with our strategy. Lao Sun, we have worked together for so long, and we often quarrel about many things, but you have to support me in this matter. You are good Think about it, our Professor Yang did not go to Xiehe, did not go to 301, and stayed with us alone. If we did not build the platform well, he would be unfavorable to others and miss his future. He is a talent that is hard to find in 500 years, and we cannot Buried, since it falls to us in the third round, this is our great luck. Think about it, everyone. I, Lao Xia, have no other skills. I can really see people and things farther than you. You are right to listen to me. , set up the laboratory--"
With talents emerging every five hundred years, Dean Xia felt that this was a conservative estimate and the number should be expanded.
Dean Xia's steps were too big, and Dean Sun felt like he couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and his balls ached.
"We are all studying medicine. Talents like Yang Ping can attract many talents in the future. Not long ago, Yang Ping chatted with me and recommended a doctor who studied in Japan. This doctor graduated from the University of Tokyo and is currently doing stem cell research. Leaders in the field of research, this kind of talent must really come We, Sanbo, cannot let people do an experiment and run around every day. Today we go to Nandu Medical University, tomorrow we go to Nandu University of Technology, and the day after tomorrow we go to Southern Science and Technology, right? If you can trust me, Xia Changjiang, I will lead you to do some amazing things! "Dean Xia spoke loudly and loudly.
When President Xia first became president, he also said the same thing, but he didn't say great things. Instead, he said he would make Sanbo Hospital reach a new level every year.
Dean Sun was more conservative. Hearing Dean Xia's words, he was very determined and was so frightened that sweat broke out on his forehead. Lao Xia must be too ahead of his time. He would spend hundreds of millions to build a laboratory, and his superiors would probably not agree.
Since the above does not agree, Lao Xia can only raise funds by himself, which is not an easy task.
In short, this matter is difficult.
Everyone would consider spending so much money to build a laboratory a waste. It would be better to add some top-notch equipment or improve the conditions of the wards, which would bring immediate results in terms of political performance.
For example, spending hundreds of millions to purchase the world's most cutting-edge cancer treatment equipment and then build a cancer treatment center will ensure that Sanbo's oncology department will become famous throughout the country.
Anyway, Dean Xia is just starting this matter for the time being, and it will take some time before it can be included in the official schedule, so Dean Sun is relieved for the time being.
"The construction of the laboratory is infrastructure construction and will not see results in the short term, so it is inevitable that everyone will question it. It doesn't matter. We can discuss this matter slowly." Director Han agreed with Dean Xia's idea, but he wanted to give other members of the hospital committee a buffer. time.
Some advanced things are too big for most people to understand. This is normal.
"Today I just put forward my ideas. Let's sit down and discuss them when we have time." Dean Xia put his hands on his hips and stared at the land.
How to build a laboratory? Also plan well.
——
Downstairs, General Surgery Department, Sanbo Hospital.
Tang Shun took his Japanese girlfriend and looked up at this building.
He will soon graduate with his PhD and is faced with the question of where to go.
For him, it's not about finding a job, but choosing a career, so Tang Shun is very cautious.
This international student from the University of Tokyo in Japan has the idea of returning to his country. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so entangled. He can just stay at the University of Tokyo or go to MIT. Both of these places are world-class and will have the greatest chance of producing results in the research field in the future. .
But after all, this was not what Tang Shun wanted. Tang Shun still wanted to go back to China, but he looked at several places and was not very satisfied. He couldn't tell where he was dissatisfied.
Tang Shun didn't know much about Sanbo Hospital, but he was very familiar with Yang Ping.
In just a few days at the University of Tokyo Hospital, Tang Shun, who served as a translator, still vividly remembered that the proud heads of the University of Tokyo Hospital were forcibly pressed down by Yang Ping.
His Chinese student Gao Qiao stayed up all night studying Chinese in order to study in China, which Tang Shun cannot forget.
All this is because of this mysterious person-Yang Ping.
Recently, he has also paid attention to Yang Ping's progress and learned from Gao Qiao that Yang Ping has developed a new technology for spinal external fixation in just a few months. Tang Shun is not an orthopedic surgeon, but this does not prevent him from consulting a large amount of information to understand this kind of technology. Technical content.
Moreover, under the leadership of Masao Fujiwara, everyone at the University of Tokyo Hospital has made sufficient preparations to compete for the qualification for the Phase III clinical trial of spinal external fixator.
These people are leaders in the field of orthopedics in Japan and even in the world, and there is no need to question their IQ.
Although I hate Japan emotionally, as a developed country, there is no doubt that Japan is leading the world in many technologies.
Combining several aspects, it can be easily judged that Yang Ping's spinal external fixator technology is a world-class new technology.
Tang Shun arranged his clothes, walked through the door with his little girlfriend, and explained his purpose to the nurse at the front desk.
In less than ten minutes, the elevator door opened, and several young people walked out, led by Yang Ping, who had his own aura.
