Chapter 1016 Outsider
As for the wedding, Yang Ping and Xiao Su had almost no worries. They went to work when they were supposed to and took care of the children when they were supposed to. Their work and life were not affected at all.
Originally, the couple wanted to have a simple wedding and didn't want to make it so complicated. But things didn't go their way at all. They didn't agree with them in any way to have a simple wedding, but as long as they didn't have to worry about it, That's fine. Yang Ping and Xiao Su didn't pay any attention to anything except taking some time to take extra wedding photos. They didn't know how far the wedding preparations were progressing.
Yang Ping went to work step by step as usual. After a full day of surgery, he sat down to rest in the doctor's office. Song Zimo reported that the results of the second review of Fu Xiaotao, a patient with Castleman's disease, had come out.
Yang Ping has always kept this case in mind, because a question overturned a theory that has been recognized by the medical community. This made Yang Ping realize that there is nothing that cannot be questioned and nothing that cannot be tried.
Song Zimo opened the outpatient system on the computer and pulled out Fu Xiaotao's examination data. Yang Ping went through each item one by one and compared it with the last examination results.
After Fu Xiaotao took sirolimus alone, the results of the second reexamination were better than those of the first, and various indicators were more beautiful. According to this trend, Fu Xiaotao's Castleman disease can be cured in about one or two years. The results of the treatment prove that , it is very correct to block the mTOR signaling pathway to treat Castleman's disease, but the previously recognized pathogenesis of interleukin 6 is actually wrong.
This time allowed Yang Ping to adjust his thinking about his oncology laboratory. It was not that his method was wrong. It was probably that the entire direction was wrong from the beginning. The direction was wrong. No matter how perfect things were done, he would not get the expected results. .
This confirms the saying: do things right first, and then do things well.
During this time, Yang Ping thought about his tumor experiment. It was no longer possible to succeed by relying solely on the system. Now he must rely on his own imagination to solve the problem. Imagination cannot be provided by the system. It can only provide time and resources.
In the history of human evolution, it is a long process for certain microorganisms to coexist with humans. It cannot be achieved in a short time. When a protein structure such as K factor enters the human body, it is regarded as a foreign object and is attacked by the immune system. K factor Without the possibility of self-amplification, the only outcome under attack by the immune system is annihilation. If increased investment is adopted, excessive K factor can cause overactivation of the human immune system, causing life-threatening consequences.
But why can some viruses, such as hepatitis B virus, HIV, etc., persist in the human body for a long time without being eliminated by the immune system? This is because they have the ability to replicate themselves and learn the skills to evade the immune system. This avoidance ability is inherited in the process.
Thinking of this, an idea flashed in Yang Ping's mind. Why did he obtain a virus, modify the virus to be harmless, then chimerize the K factor with the virus, and put the new "virus" into the human body to make this new type of virus harmless? The virus has the ability to fight against the human immune system and kill tumor cells. If the virus exists harmlessly in the body for a period of time, it can kill resurgent tumor cells at any time.
After this bold idea came into Yang Ping's mind, Yang Ping immediately planned to redesign the experiment and began to research according to this idea. After gaining experience in the treatment of Castleman's disease, Yang Ping became more confident about his bold ideas. Confidence, you don’t have to worry about any consequences when doing experiments in the system space. The most serious result is just a waste of points, it’s no big deal.
"Continue taking sirolimus?" Song Zimo asked.
Yang Ping nodded: "Continue to take it and review the liver and kidney function every month. As long as the liver and kidney function are normal, continue to take it until recovery."
"Okay." Song Zimo wrote it down.
There was nothing special. Yang Ping returned to his office and turned on his computer to check for new emails. Professor Maninstein sent a new email.
"Dear Professor Yang Ping, hello, your space-guided gene research is very popular. Everyone has always believed that this is an epoch-making achievement. It will change medicine and the world. It is the first time that human organs have been successfully cloned in vitro. , it is no exaggeration to say that it will usher in an era of independent organ cloning, and the treatment of human organ failure will become cheap and It is easy. Replacing organs is as normal as replacing parts with a machine, and there is no rejection reaction. Once in one of my private salons, several Nobel Prize winners in medicine and biology suggested that they would like to follow me to China to attend your wedding. , they want to meet and become friends with your great doctor. Also, we have a difficult question here. ---The case of an outsider. He is the granddaughter of Mr. Bryan, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine. The poor little girl has not found a suitable surgeon because no one dares to do this kind of surgery. I did not get your consent. , I take the liberty to recommend you to him, please forgive me, there is information about this case in the attachment. "Professor Maninstein's friend, a Nobel Prize winner. The winner of the Prize in Medicine and Biology, his granddaughter is six years old and is an alien patient. Her heart malformation surgery is very complicated, so until now, he has not found a suitable doctor for his granddaughter. He once went to the United States to find a suitable doctor for his granddaughter. After seeing the doctor, the American doctor performed many similar surgeries, but after seeing his granddaughter, he could only shake his head. It was more difficult than imagined.
The normal position of the heart should be in the chest, protected by the chest supported by the rib cage. However, the heart of an outsider is not in the chest. Instead, outside the chest, the whole heart is only separated from the outside world by a thin layer of skin. This There is no difference from being naked. The outline of the heart can be seen from the outside, and even the outline of the blood vessels on the surface of the heart is clearly visible.
Such an exposed heart would be fatal if any accidental impact occurred. Mr. Bryan had been trying hard to find a doctor who could perform the surgery on his granddaughter, but there was no result until Maninstein recommended Professor Yang from China to him.
Attached is a video sent by Professor Maninstein. In the video, Chelsea, a child from outside the world, is wearing a carbon fiber hard chest shield to prevent the heart from being exposed outside the body from collision in daily life. When taking off this After putting on the protective shield, if you lift up your clothes, you can clearly see the bulging and beating heart. The close-up video shows that there is only a thin layer of skin between the heart and the outside world.
Yang Ping stood at the door of the doctor's office from his office: "Everyone who is not off work, come over here."
Everyone didn't know what was going on, so they all gathered in the director's office. The video was played repeatedly on Yang Ping's computer screen. Everyone stared at the screen hoping to see every detail. Xia Shu, a doctor in cardiology, was more interested in this case.
"This is a case in Europe. It is very rare. The operation is very difficult, and the technical requirements for postoperative maintenance are also very high. Everyone should come into contact with this kind of case. If you have time these days, you can check the information and discuss it. .”
Yang Ping told everyone.
"This is a cardiac malformation, the scientific name is Cantrell's pentad, which has five coexisting malformations - sternal cleft, substernal defect, anterior half-moon defect of the diaphragm, pericardial parietal defect communicating with the abdominal cavity, supraumbilical abdominal wall In defective umbilical hernia, it is the coexistence of these five deformities that causes the heart to be exposed through the skin. The operation is very difficult. The operation not only needs to correct the deformity, but also needs to put the heart back into the chest. When the heart is put back into the chest, it needs to be suspended. Problems such as straightening out the large blood vessels connected to it are even more difficult to solve with one operation.”
"What type of Cantrell's pentagram is this?"
"One type! All five deformities are present."
"In addition, the accompanying malformations include dextrocardia, double outlet right ventricle, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect and pulmonary stenosis. The difficulty in treatment lies in how to correct the malformation of the heart and reset the heart."
"We have no precedent of such a complicated case involving an outsider."
"Do you know why our department is called the Institute of Surgery? Because part of the surgeries performed are research-based. We are the first to try something new. We are a department that combines research with clinical practice."
"There are not many operations done in China. There were probably more than ten cases in Fuwai and Anzhen in the past. I have never seen such a complicated operation. The number of surgeries in the world is only about 200."
Everyone immediately started discussing this case.
