Chapter 182 Principles of Gene Therapy
The elevator soon arrived at the top of the surgical inpatient building. When the iron door of the elevator slowly opened, the first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a spacious and bright hall. There were several rows of chairs in the center of the hall, which were specially prepared for the patient's family. The family of the patient who was preparing for the operation was sitting on a chair in the hall, looking up at the top of the hall, where several LCD TVs were hung specifically for the patient's family. At this time, one of them was rolling with the operation information for the day, with the start of the operation and the expected end time of the operation. The other LCD TV was playing all the things that patients need to pay attention to after completing the operation, so that the patient's family could better condition the patients after the operation.
Wu Kai asked the experts and reporters from the United Nations Health Agency to walk out of the elevator and said with a smile: "Gentlemen! Ladies! We are now in the waiting hall, which is a place specially provided for patients' families!" As he said that, Wu Kai reached out and made an invitation move, leading everyone inside.
Everyone walked through the corridor and entered an isolation door. There was an empty corridor inside. There were purple lights in the corridor. Wu Kai introduced to everyone as he walked: "The corridor we passed by now is the first disinfection room before entering the operating room. The ultraviolet rays in this corridor can kill all the bacteria on our clothes. Of course, this does not harm our human body. When we walked inside, we were in the locker room, where we were going to wear clothes specially designed and manufactured by our hospital. After changing my clothes, I
We have undergone the last disinfection, even if we officially enter the surgical area, we have ninety-nine operating rooms there, and a small ultraviolet antivirus device is installed at the entrance of each operating room. This is the last disinfection and sterilization checkpoint. Of course, there is a system in our surgical area that other hospitals do not have, that is our ventilation system. Our ventilation system is a sterile ventilation system that we have invested heavily in researching and manufacturing. It will pass the air outside through dozens of filters before it can be transmitted to the surgical area. In order to ensure that
The patients during the operation will not be infected by air due to physical weakness." Wu Kaibian introduced. While taking experts from the United Nations Health Department and reporters like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, he walked back to the outermost operating room and introduced again: "Gentlemen! Ladies! This is the largest operating room in our hospital, and it is also an observation operating room designed by doctors in our hospital in the future. Our observation room is two meters higher than the operating room, so that all those who observe the operation can
You can clearly see the scene on the operating table. In addition, here we can hear the doctors talking in the operating room, but there is no sound outside us inside. This is specially prepared by our hospital for future teaching!" Wu Kai said here, seeing the intelligent medical robot inside is ready for the operation. He smiled and said to everyone: "Please watch whatever you want. I am going to enter the operating room to perform surgery on the patient, so I will temporarily lose my companion!" Wu Kai said as he brought the mask on and turned around and walked into the operating room.
Wu Kai walked into the operating room and waited for the intelligent medical robot to help him put on the surgical cap and glue the gloves, then walked to the operating table and ordered: "Now we start the operation. First, extract the patient's DNA, filter the cancer cells and then carry out gene cultivation!"
As soon as Wu Kai finished speaking, an intelligent medical robot immediately held a small syringe. Mark 1 extracted a little blood from the patient's arm, and then put it into a machine for DNA extraction. After Wu Kai saw that the intelligent medical robot completed this step, he picked up a few silver needles from the surgical tool table and stabbed the several acupuncture points around the patient lying on the side. After that, Wu Kai picked up a scalpel casually, took a deep breath of air, and directly tied the bones on the outer side of the patient's right chest.
After that, Wu Kai did not perform surgery under a thoracoscopy on TV, but observed the patient's lungs completely through his own vision. Due to the erosion of cancer cells, the patient's lungs had become black and hardened. If it was not removed immediately, the patient could only live for the first half of a year. After Wu Kai carefully observed for a while, Wu Kai determined the surgical plan in his mind. After confirming the plan, he immediately put all distracting thoughts and completely devoted himself to the operation. At this time, the operating table was like a gift.
He showed his talent on the stage. His movements were light and agile, without any dragging, and he removed the patient's right lung in one go, and then picked up the artificial lung transplant that had been ready to be transplanted into the patient's body. At this time, the organ transplant surgery was the biggest part of the entire operation process? There was no error in the links. After an hour and a half, Wu Kai finally completed the most difficult link after three sweats.
The next thing is suture, and Wu Kai handed this matter to an intelligent medical robot. He walked to the gene extraction machine and observed the gene cultivation situation. Wu Kai saw through a set of data displayed on the instrument. When the cultivation procedure was completed, he used a syringe to extract the successfully extracted gene from the cultivation machine, and then injected the patient's venous blood vessels, and finally connected the patient's blood vessels to the blood filtration instrument to perform the last process of the operation, and filtered blood cells.
When Wu Kai completed this series of procedures, it was already six o'clock in the evening. As he pulled up the silver needle on the patient's body, the patient on the operating table actually woke up. He looked at everyone with confused eyes as if he wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wu Kai: "Sister! You have just finished the operation and it is not easy to speak within three hours. Now our instruments are cleaning up the cancer cells in your body. This process may take three hours. After two hours, you will be sent to the observation room. If you have any uncomfortable places, you must tell our medical staff." After that, Wu Kai turned around and walked out of the operating room.
The entire operation lasted more than ten hours, and ten hours were not long or short. However, for the experts of the United Nations Health Agency and those reporters who were watching the surgery indoors, they called the most wonderful ten hours they had spent. During these ten hours, they not only witnessed the world's first gene therapy, but also witnessed the most successful artificial lung transplant in the world. At this time, the surgery process performed by Wu Kai was like a very attractive performance in the eyes of these experts. Wu Kai did not even hold the knife.
The movements were as smooth as the flowing water, and the techniques were never seen by these experts and journalists. They had gained many new insights into the operation. In order to see every detail in the entire process, these experts always stood on the ground. They were afraid of missing each plot, but they did not realize that they had stood there motionless for ten hours, especially before the operation was over, the patient had already woken up, which was something that the experts from the United Nations Health Agency could not have expected.
At this time, the most exciting thing among all the experts was Peter Boyle and Thomas, the expert on human organ transplantation, because they saw the scene they wanted to see most in the past ten hours today. Although they didn’t know much about many of the processes, these processes made their horizons broader and provided a good idea for their future research routes. Until later, when the two became the authority in this area, they still clearly remembered the operation demonstrated by Wu Kai, a foreign teacher who was aged a year earlier than them, and at the same time made them sigh that they didn’t know when they could reach this level. Of course, these are all later stories.
Wu Kai walked from the operating room to the observation room and saw the experts from the United Nations Health Agency who were still standing in front of the large glass window and watching the surgery finishing work. He smiled and said, "Gentlemen! Ladies!" After saying this, Wu Kai paused. After all the experts focused on this, Wu Kai smiled and said, "Everyone! I am really sorry. I actually waited for more than ten hours. This surgery could be completed in six hours except for this, but because the patient's lungs were severely eroded by cancer cells, the patient's lungs were necrotic and swelling, causing many blood vessels in the patient's lungs to be suppressed, so the operation became a little difficult. But now that the operation has been cured, the operation has finally been successful. It was just that you have waited for so long, which made me feel very sorry. For this reason, I specially hosted a banquet in the restaurant of Paradise Hotel. Please be sure to enjoy the scenery."
Peter at this time: #8226: Director Boyle saw Wu Kai standing behind him, and his eyes were filled with admiration. He couldn't help but open his eyes and walked towards Wu Kai. Who knew that because he stood there motionlessly for more than ten hours, his lower body was numb. As a result, his feet were weak and he accidentally fell to the ground.
Wu Kai saw Peter: #8226: Boyle fell to the ground. He hurriedly stepped forward and supported Peter: #8226: Boyle, and asked with concern: "Peter: #8226: Director Boyle! Are you okay?"
Peter: #8226: Boyle was thinking of several questions that he particularly wanted to know. He was also concerned about the pain on the ground. With the help of Wu Kai, he stood up again and asked Wu Kai excitedly: "Director Wu! Today I am very honored to be able to observe the surgery you took charge. This surgery is the latest and most scientific surgery I have ever seen when I was engaged in medical research. It has given me a lot of inspiration from the surgery you just now and has a broader understanding of surgical operations. Now I take the liberty to ask you a few questions: How did you separate cancer cells from the patient's genes? At the same time, how did you let these genes that were injected into the patient's body produce antibodies to the patient's body? Finally, what I want to ask again is, what principle did the blood cell filtration program be carried out in the last process you used?"
Wu Kai saw Peter: #8226: Boyle's urgent expression of hope, smiled and replied in fluent English: "Peter: #8226: Director Boyle! In fact, your three questions are actually a problem together. As we all know, the existence of cancer cells in our human body itself. Since cancer cells themselves are mutated cells, the reason why they mutate is entirely because our human body's immunity has decreased, so the pathogenesis of cancer is caused. Cancer cells are different from normal cells and have infinite births.
The three major characteristics of long, transformation and metastasis are difficult to eliminate. Therefore, in order to eliminate cancer cells, we conducted continuous observation and experiments on cancer cells and found that there is a tumor antigen (cea) on the surface of cancer cells, which can generate corresponding antibodies to prevent the growth and development of cancer cells. This self-immunity is another inherent contradiction between cancer cells. At the same time, we also found that the survival and development of cancer cells cannot be separated from protein synthesis. However, when cancer cells synthesize proteins, they must be healthy cells.
Asparagine is seized, but asparagine, which symbiotic with asparagine, can control the growth of cancer cells. Our gene therapy is based on these two points. Our gene extraction machine extracts the tumor antigen (cea) on the surface of cancer cells and then cultures it. At the same time, asparagine and asparagine are separated, mixed with the tumor antigen (cea) and reinjected into the patient's body to prevent the development of cancer cells. As for what we are doing now
What is, when we studied, we found that there is a substance called c-amp (cyclic adenosine phosphate) on the cell membrane of each cell in the human body. This substance is the main component that controls or regulates cell metabolism (it does not disappear due to cancer). Interestingly, c-amp has the most significant ability, which is to turn cancer cells into healthy cells. Our machine promotes the growth of c-amp (cyclic adenosine phosphate) and turns cancer cells in the human body into healthy cells."
With Wu Kai's introduction, Peter: #8226: The expression on Director Boyle's face is constantly changing. When he heard Wu Kai's words, he immediately said in surprise: "I didn't expect that when Dean Wu heard your introduction, I realized that our research has been taking detours. I have studied cancer cells for most of my life, but because I was eager to achieve success, I ignored this problem. According to your introduction, the so-called gene therapy method is to use the human body's original tumor antigen (cea) and asparaginase to prevent the development of cancer cells, and then use c-amp (ring adenosine phosphate) to turn cancer cells in the human body into healthy cells. It is simply amazing!"
