Chapter 181 Gene Therapy
Not long after, the intelligent medical robot led a middle-aged man in a worn-out clothes into the ward and introduced Wu Kai: "Young Master! This is the patient's husband!"
Wu Kai looked at the depressed middle-aged man in front of him, wearing a wrinkled black trousers and jacket, covered with stains, and the knees and cuffs were grinding with oil. He was wearing foot binding like an old farmer, and wearing a pair of worn cloth shoes on his feet. Seeing this situation, Wu Kai's facial expression was the same. He smiled and reached out to shake hands with the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "Hello! I am the director of this hospital, my name is Wu Kai. I believe you should know your wife's situation. At present, the cancer cells on her body are growing and reproducing very quickly.
It has been transferred to her right lung. In addition, your lover has been suffering from long-term malnutrition and rest, so she is very weak at present. If we take chemotherapy for her, not only will we not be able to save her, but also speed up her death. So in order to save your lover, we are preparing to use surgery to remove your lover's right lung, transplant the artificial lung, and then perform gene therapy. Now we come in mainly to seek the opinions of your family. If you agree, we will arrange the operation immediately."
When the middle-aged man heard Wu Kai's words, he looked frowning and crying as if he was a crop that had been dry for a long time. He seemed to want to ask the above, but he didn't know how to speak. After thinking about it, he finally asked with a nervous mood: "This big brother! I don't know how much this cost, let me tell you the truth! Our family has been in the situation of having no rice to put the pot in the past few years for her illness. This time I saw the TV news that he had free treatment, so I sold the only two acres of land in my family and exchanged it for a fare to go to the place where your hospital registration is registered. So if you want money, I can work for your hospital, and I just ask the dean, you can help my wife treat the disease." As he said that, the middle-aged man knelt down in front of Wu Kai.
Wu Kai didn't expect that the middle-aged man would kneel down in front of him. He quickly supported the middle-aged man and said, "Brother! There is gold under the man's knees. Get up quickly, don't worry! Our hospital treats your wife completely for free. When you signed up, we had repeatedly stated that we would never charge any medical expenses for the patients. This time the treatment is completely free, so brother, get up quickly."
When the middle-aged man heard that Wu Kai had confirmed that the treatment was free again, he slowly stood up and looked at Wu Kai with gratitude. He said in a choked voice: "Dean! Thank you! No matter whether my wife can survive this level or not, you are our life-saving benefactor!"
Wu Kai looked at the simple middle-aged man and replied humbly: "Brother! Don't say that, no one has encountered any difficulties these days! It's like this that our hospital has just begun to accept patients, so officials from the United Nations Health Agency and some reporters will come here to observe your lover's surgery. Therefore, we want to discuss with you and not let you make things difficult if you disagree. At the same time, don't be afraid that we will break our trust. We will still arrange your wife's surgery today."
When the middle-aged man heard Wu Kai's explanation, he quickly replied: "Director! You misunderstood, I am willing! As long as you can, I will live my wife, and I am willing to do whatever I want. I remember how my wife had to sign when she had surgery last time. I will sign now, and I will sign now."
When Wu Kai saw the middle-aged man impatiently, he smiled and said, "Brother! Don't have a base, we will never break our promise if we promise to treat your wife for free. As for the operation, we will arrange it immediately, but I hope you can listen to our doctor explain the contents of the operation notice to you, and then you are signing. I still need to go to other wards for a walk, so please talk to our doctor about the specific matters." Wu Kai said and turned around and walked out of the ward.
After Wu Kai and Lin Shiqin visited all the wards together, they ordered Lin Shiqin as they walked: "Sister Shiqin! You will come forward to meet with the officials of the United Nations Health Agency later and tell them the content of the surgery we have prepared this morning. Otherwise, you can take them to the ward to see the older sister just now before the operation, and then find a few reporters to let them observe the operation process together. Finally, you can borrow these reporters. Post a news about recruiting ugly women for free plastic surgery. I believe that when the elder sister's surgery is completed, many people will believe in the strength of our hospital. At that time, the rich people who are sick will come to their door in the morning to survive, so that our situation will be opened and their influence will gradually expand."
Lin Shiqin smiled like a flower when she heard Wu Kai's words, and said leisurely: "Xiao Kai! Don't worry! I will arrange this matter clearly. After all, I am also the assistant to the dean. If I can't even do my job well, what kind of face will I have to be this assistant?"
When Wu Kai heard this, he laughed and said, "Sister Shiqin! Then I'll ask you. I'll go to another place to go. I believe that after the news of this surgery is broadcast today, our hospital will become the most hopeful place for all patients." Wu Kai said goodbye to Lin Shiqin and turned to leave the oncology department.
After Lin Shiqin watched Wu Kai leave, she immediately turned around and walked towards the elevator. She took the elevator to the first floor, and then took an electric car to the hotel door. She was about to get off when she happened to see several officials from the United Nations Health Agency walking out of the hotel. Seeing this, Lin Shiqin immediately came forward and greeted him politely: "Dear gentlemen! Ladies! Hello! I am the assistant director of Renai Hospital, my surname is Lin. I welcome you to our paradise island and be responsible for observing our surgery. That's right, a female patient just happened to be admitted to our hospital today. She originally had breast cancer.
But she did not pay attention to rest and conditioning after the operation, so the cancer cell lesions are now transferred to the lungs. We have been diagnosed with advanced cancer. Just now, our dean diagnosed the patient and was about to undergo lung replacement surgery for the patient at 12 o'clock this morning. Considering that the patient's physical condition cannot bear the torture of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, we are preparing to use the latest mastered gene therapy method of our hospital to conduct the next stage of treatment. At that time, I hope that gentlemen and ladies can make an accurate assessment of our surgery and gene therapy methods. Thank you!”
"Gene therapy?" When the translation just finished translating Lin Shiqin's words, a middle-aged man with blonde hair from the United Nations Health Department asked Lin Shiqin in surprise: "miss Lin! You just said gene therapy! Is your Renai Hospital already mastered medical skills? If this is true, it is definitely an important breakthrough in human anti-cancer history, miss Lin! I am Peter, director of the United Nations International Cancer Research Institute: #8226: Boyle, at the same time, I have been engaged in anti-cancer research over the years. You just said that gene therapy is a project that our institute has been focusing on in recent years. Our human body's wishes
Many genes are related to cancer treatment, for example. Some genes can enhance the effect of chemotherapy and increase the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapy drugs. Under the action of the same dose of chemotherapy drugs, they kill more cancer cells; some people introduce hematopoietic growth factor genes into hematopoietic stem cells to reduce the damage to patients' hematopoietic function caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, so it is more conducive to the treatment of cancer. However, because the pathogenesis of cancer is extremely complex, many links and problems in gene therapy technology have not been completely solved yet. If what you said just now is true, then this year's Nobel Prize in Medicine will definitely belong to the doctor in your hospital."
After listening to the translated words carefully, Lin Shiqin showed a bright smile on her red cheeks and replied rigorously: "Peter: #8226: Mr. Boyle! Our hospital has indeed mastered this technology. This time, two-thirds of the first patients received from China were cancer patients, and their current conditions are all advanced cancer. Our hospital has certain authority in various drugs before it was established. We also have very rich clinical experience in treating various diseases, and gene therapy is the method of many doctors in our hospital.
After several years of research and exploration and continuous clinical verification, of course, we not only made breakthroughs in cancer, but also made certain breakthroughs in diabetes, AIDS, etc., so in order to benefit more patients, we have made huge sums of money to build this small island. We build this hospital on the island. The purpose of our Renai Hospital is that no matter you have the identity, nationality, and what disease you have, as long as you go to our Renai Hospital, we will treat it equally and treat it with care! Of course, the Japanese are excluded."
Peter:#8226: Boyle learned the meaning of Lin Shiqin's words through the translation, and said excitedly: "miss Lin! After hearing your introduction, I can't wait to see the doctors in your hospital perform gene therapy on patients. If this treatment is really successful, it will be a blessing for tens of millions of cancer patients in humans!" Speaking of this, Peter:#8226: Boyle turned around and said to his companions: "Dear gentlemen! Ladies! Why don't we give up the itinerary to visit the museum for the first time, and go to Renai Hospital to observe the doctors in Renai Hospital to use gene therapy for patients!"
Peter: #8226: Boyle's words were approved by everyone in the United Nations Health Agency. At this time, Dr. Thomas, who won the Nobel Prize for his research on human organ and cell transplantation, asked Lin Shiqin with curiosity: "miss Lin! I would like to ask you, you just said that patients will undergo lung replacement surgery before undergoing gene therapy. Currently, more than 10,000 patients in the world use artificial lungs, and there are three main types of artificial lungs we use: membrane type, bubble type, and plane contact type. These artificial lungs are all plug-in. I would like to ask, which artificial lungs are going to be used in your hospital? And is there any conflict between these artificial lungs for gene therapy for patients?"
The on-site translator translated Dr. Thomas's words in its original form. After listening to it, Lin Shiqin still smiled and looked very rigorous, and replied: "Doctor Thomas! To be honest, I don't know how to answer you. Because I am not an authoritative person in this regard, but when I was inspecting the ward with our dean just now, our dean meant to use an artificial lung that can replace lung function that our hospital has studied on its own. This artificial lung does not use external corpus, but is directly transplanted into the patient's body like an organ transplant."
When the translator translated Lin Shiqin's words without missing a word, the people present again looked surprised, especially Thomas was shocked and excited when he listened to the translation and said, "It's great! This time it's really worth the trip. If this operation is successful, Peter: #8226: Director Boyle is right. We must rush to Ren'ai Hospital immediately to witness this great moment."
Lin Shiqin looked at the expressions on the faces of more than a dozen United Nations officials at the scene, and knew that Renai Hospital would definitely become the most famous hospital in the world at this moment. After the operation is over, patients from all over the country will gather here.
Thinking of this, Lin Shiqin showed a bright smile on her face. She greeted with a humility and politeness: "Gentlemen! Ladies! Please, please, now the surgeons in our hospital are preparing for the operation. I believe that when you arrive at the hospital, the operation time just begins.
After visiting the complete hospital, Wu Kai returned to the surgical inpatient building. The operating room for observation was ready. He looked at the time on the wall and ordered the intelligent medical robot who was following him: "Arrange people to push the patient to the operating room. When those people in the United Nations Health Department arrive, we will start the operation immediately."
Not long after, in the worried look of the patient's husband, the patient was pushed out of the ward by the intelligent medical robot and walked towards the elevator with confidence. At this time, Lin Shiqin brought more than a dozen experts from the United Nations Health Agency and five or six foreign journalists carrying camera equipment out of the two elevators. Lin Shiqin saw that she was pushing the patient towards her with several doctors and nurses. She quickly smiled and introduced to the people present: "Gentlemen! Ladies! The one in front is Director Wu of our Renai Hospital, and the lady on the bed is the patient we were the one who was operating today. I have already briefly introduced the patient's condition before. At present, the patient's condition has reached the stage where morphine is needed to reduce pain, so we, Director Wu, considered performing surgery on this patient first."
Several experts from the UN Health Agency hurriedly walked forward after listening to the translation, and Peter: #8226: Director Boyle held Wu Kai's hand with a smile on his face and said, "Director Wu! I am I, Peter: #8226: Boyle, here I would like to thank you on behalf of several of our colleagues from the UN Health Agency for providing us with such an opportunity. Witness this extremely meaningful moment. This surgery will be a leapfrog surgery in the history of human anti-cancer. For this, I am very honored to be one of the witnesses."
Wu Kai smiled and said to Peter: #8226: Boyle shook hands, and then arranged for the intelligent medical robot to send the patient to the operating room first, and then replied in fluent English: "Dear Peter: #8226: Director Boyle! Hello! First of all, I welcome you to our beautiful Paradise Island Renai Hospital. Saving lives and healing the wounded is the duty of all our doctors, while cancer is the issue that we human medical community have always wanted to overcome the most. Since the preparations, our Paradise Island Renai Hospital has always regarded solving various medical problems as our greatest goal. After five years of research and clinical trials, it has achieved remarkable results in how to eliminate cancer cells. Today, we will perform gene therapy on this patient, which is the latest research result of our Renai Hospital!"
Peter: #8226: Boyle heard Wu Kai's words and replied in a very gentlemanly manner: "Director Wu! You are indeed right. Our doctor's mission is to save the lives of thousands of patients. Therefore, our United Nations International Cancer Research Institute has been engaged in this work for many years, protecting normal cells and killing cancer cells. Among them, 300 experimental studies are involved. About 1,700 hospitals and cancer centers around the world are conducting any research on improving the quality of cancer medical care: improving the quality of life of cancer patients, and finding various ways to pull those cancer patients back from the brink of death.
A few years ago, we discovered that there are several genes in the human body that can reap the cancer cells in patients' bodies. So over the years, our main research aspect is to overcome the genes of human beings. However, the pathogenesis of cancer is extremely complex, and many links and problems in gene therapy technology have not yet been fully solved, so our research has not achieved much effect. I just heard Miss Lin introduce that your hospital has mastered this technology. I am very shocked and excited. If your surgery is successful, it will mean that at least it will be difficult for us to save tens of millions of cancer patients every year."
Peter: #8226: When Boyle was talking to Wu Kai, several reporters around them had already taken out their interview equipment and pointed at the two of them. At this time, Dr. Thomas, who was standing aside, couldn't wait to ask Wu Kai: "Director Wu! Hello! I am Thomas! Specializes in human organ transplantation. At present, the most common transplants in our medical field include kidney, heart, liver, pancreas and islets, parathyroid gland, heart lung, bone marrow, cornea, etc. Lung transplantation is currently only in the initial clinical use or experimental stage. The United States does the most such surgery, followed by the United Kingdom, France and Germany. The average survival rate of one year exceeds 70, and the survival rate of three years exceeds survival.
The survival rate exceeds 40, and the survival rate in 7 years exceeds 30, and there are five taboos for lung transplantation. The maximum number of patients with single lung transplantation cannot exceed 65 years old, and the double lung transplantation cannot exceed 55 years old. Active extrapulmonary infection, malignant swelling, critical condition, and those who cannot tolerate surgery are not suitable for this transplantation surgery. I just heard from Miss Lin that you will perform a lung transplant on a critically ill patient with malignant swelling this time, and artificial lungs are used to replace the lungs in the patient's body. What you are using is not an external artificial lung. Has your hospital invented an artificial internal hanging lung organ that can replace the functions of the human lung?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Kai smiled and shook hands with Dr. Thomas, and replied politely: "Dr. Thomas! Hello! For half a century, transplantation has experienced ups and downs as an independent discipline and has reached the clinical application stage today. It has reborn thousands of end-stage patients. This is one of the medical miracles of this century. Half a century of transplantation medicine is undoubtedly a monument in the journey of mankind to overcome diseases. Our hospital is also constantly exploring transplantation in this area. What you just said is indeed correct. Patients with critical condition and malignant swelling cannot accept lung transplantation. However, with the continuous efforts of many medical experts at our Renai Hospital, we have overcome this problem. At present, our
There are two types of techniques that we have mastered. One of them is to use DNA cloning technology to culture the lungs of animals so that there will be no super-urgent rejection, acute rejection, chronic rejection and transplantation-versus-host reaction after transplantation. In addition, we have also invented an artificial lung. This method is to extract the damaged lungs in the human body and then transplant the artificial lungs. This artificial lung will not only not have any rejection problems, but will also help the patient filter the air and pollutants. Today, because the lungs are eroded by cancer cells, we will perform artificial lung transplant surgery on her. So far, we have conducted hundreds of clinical trials to achieve success rate of more than 98%.
Wu Kai's words were recorded by those reporters using the camera equipment in their hands. Wu Kai looked at the scene and smiled and said politely to these reporters: "Dear reporters! Hello! First of all, I am very grateful to you for being able to interview our Renai Hospital. On behalf of our Renai Hospital, I hereby assure you that you will definitely not be in vain for this trip. As we all know that the reporter is the uncrowned king, but I have a request here. I hope you can delete all the pictures about me in the picture we recorded when we were talking just now. Of course, you can leave the content of our conversation, but I don't want to be a celebrity. Here, in order to thank you for your cooperation, I will give you permanent interview rights on Paradise Island. Of course! You have your all. But I still hope that you can carefully consider my suggestions just now."
In fact, these reporters knew that the cameras on their cameras had not recorded anything. The reason why Wu Kai did this was entirely for the preparation of the operation later. Several reporters heard Wu Kai's words. Three smart reporters immediately pressed the camera's delete key without thinking. The other two hesitated for a while before pressing the camera's delete key. Only one of them indicated that the delete key was pressed. In fact, he did not really delete the content in the camera. At this time, the actions of several reporters could not escape Wu Kai's eyes. He smiled at the three reporters who pressed the camera's delete key first and said, "Three gentlemen! Thank you very much. To thank you, I will fulfill my promise just now, and at the same time provide you with an office on the island. Although these two gentlemen have just been
After deleting the contents in the camera, you have considered it a little bit, so I can only let you two have the permanent interview rights to our Paradise Island, but cannot provide you with an office. I can only express regret for this. As for this reporter, you will no longer participate in our surgical interview from this moment, because although you pressed the delete button just now, you used your cleverness to perfunctory us. For your dishonest behavior, I have reason to suspect that you will make some untrue reports during the interview, so we can only express great regret! "When I said this, Wu Kai did not give the reporter any chance to refute, and ordered the intelligent medical robot beside him: "Please arrange a plane to take him and his companions out of our island immediately."
When the reporter heard Wu Kai's words, his face changed and asked unwillingly: "Director Wu! You just said that our reporter is the uncrowned king, but did your actions just now hinder the freedom of news and speech?"
Wu Kai didn't take the reporter's words seriously at all. He replied with a smile: "Mr. Journalist! Here I will first correct your mistakes. First of all, I did not hinder the freedom of the press. The reason why I asked this just now was that I did not want individuals to be the focus. So I asked you to delete my pictures, but I did not ask you to delete all the contents of the conversation just now. At the same time, I did not force you to delete these contents. Everything was done under your voluntary principle, and the actions I made for several reporters
I expressed my sincere gratitude and also gave everyone a certain reward. If you were unwilling to delete these contents just now, you could raise objections, but you did not choose to deceive. So here I doubt your personality and the authenticity of our news reports on Paradise Island in the future, so I can only regret the cancellation of your interview qualification. Another important point is that I doubt the real purpose of your interview in our Paradise Island. As for what purpose you have in your heart, I don’t want to say more.”
Chapter completed!
