Scholar's Cultivation System Panel

Although the chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy currently used in the laboratory is Xu Yun's optimized version, Ding Wei and Zhou Lihua's team have several years of research experience, so the process of cell transformation and expansion can be said to be very advanced. skilled.

After Xu Yun and Wang Dong took blood from Jiang Ning's father, they immediately returned to the biological research laboratory.

Ding Wei and Zhou Lihua received the news and made preparations in advance, and began to separate cells after receiving the blood.

——

"According to our previous transformation and expansion speed, it is estimated that we can complete the cells needed by the patient in one week. No research team around the world can achieve this efficiency."

Ding Wei, who was wearing research clothes in the operating room, put the extracted specimens into the blood centrifuge. When he spoke these words, he did not hide the smile and pride on his face.

After all, they do have this pride.

Zhou Lihua next to her heard the voice and answered: "I would have never dared to think of this kind of efficiency before. It's thanks to our Xu Institute that we chose to study the fields of medicine and genetic engineering. Otherwise, it would be a waste of such a good talent." emerged. The look on his face was exactly the same as that of Ding Wei.

"This patient is relatively lucky to be able to participate in our human trials."

"It just so happened that I came across Xuyuan's project." Wang Dong agreed from the bottom of his heart.

After hearing everyone's words, Xu Yun couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. The official start of human trials marked the completion of the task.

"The laboratory's achievements today are inseparable from everyone's efforts."

He followed what everyone was saying and said this, and then brought the topic back to business.

"Once this patient is cured, I believe there will be a steady stream of patients coming to us, and we will probably be very busy by then."

"I can live in the laboratory every day if I can see our technology curing cancer patients." Wang Dong is worthy of being Xu Yun's fan. Hearing this, he immediately agreed like a shot of chicken blood: "I really want to hurry up We’ve seen the reactions from all parties around the world after our technology went online.”

"I'm looking forward to this too." Ding Wei looked at Wang Dong and said with a smile.

The technology of their laboratory is undoubtedly world-leading, and it is inevitable that it will cause a huge response after it is announced.

In this way, everyone no longer delayed the next time, and immediately entered the transformation and expansion process after obtaining the isolated cells.

…

A week passed quickly.

Under the work of the laboratory, the transformation and expansion of Jiang Ning's father's cells were successfully completed.

Subsequently, the expanded cells only need to be reintroduced into the patient's body.

After a period of time, the patient's body is re-examined. As long as it is confirmed that the number of cancer cells in the patient's body has decreased and disappeared, it means that the chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy has worked.

In order to reassure the patient and his family, Xu Yun ran to the hospital and lay down while the injection was being administered.

After all, there is a connection between a patient's recovery speed and their mood.

If the patient remains fearful after taking the injection, it may be detrimental to physical recovery.

This is definitely something Xu Yun doesn't want to see.

"Here are chimeric antigen receptor cells that have been modified and expanded in our laboratory. After being injected into the patient, they can automatically identify and eliminate cancer cells in the body."

"In addition, you can rest assured that our injections will basically cause no adverse reactions."

"If all goes well with the treatment, it won't take long for the number of cancer cells in your father's body to change significantly."

In the oncology ward of Jingzhou First Hospital, Xu Yun patiently explained the situation to Jiang Ning in front of him.

After all, the other party is also a student of Peking University, and since he can collect relevant information about such technologies from the Internet, he is not afraid that he will not understand.

This is mainly done to calm the family members' emotions and make them stay calm first.

So as not to affect the patient's mood at that time.

Jiang Ning was undoubtedly very moved when she saw Xu Yun coming to treat her father in person again.

In his opinion, Xu Yun must be very busy at ordinary times, but he took the time to treat his father, which undoubtedly made people feel reassured.

If she was still a little worried in the past few days, especially after learning from Lin Yi about the differences between chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy overseas and that used in deep-tech biological research laboratories, she was even more afraid of what would happen if she participated in human trials. inappropriate.

The idea of ​​asking his father to give up participating in human experiments even came to his mind more than once.

Xu Yun's words today were like giving her a shot in the arm.

It seemed that as long as Xu Yun was around, there would be absolutely no problem.

Her thoughts stayed here, and she immediately thanked you: "Thank you very much, Academician Xu."

"I believe what you say."

Xu Yun first nodded to Jiang Ning when he heard the sound, and then motioned to Wang Dong next to him to inject the patient with the injection.

At this time, Jiang Ning's parents would definitely not change their minds temporarily.

Watching the injection being injected into the body very calmly.

But who was the most excited at this moment, it must be Lin Yi, the deputy chief physician standing next to him.

Although he is very familiar with chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy in various countries around the world, he also knows what the most advanced level is, in which the transformation and expansion of cells takes at least a month.

This is already at the top level of technology.

A few days ago, Wang Dong told him that the research results of the Deepin Technology Biological Research Laboratory would only take a week. He didn't quite believe it because the actual operation was different from the theoretical data.

After all, Ding Wei, his own teacher, has been studying this project for several years.

I have never heard of such a big breakthrough.

Academician Xu Yun, known as the most talented young scientist in mankind, although he chose to enter the field of genetic engineering, it is not what he is good at after all, and he should not be of much help in a short time.

But today his thoughts were abruptly changed.

Because it had just been a week since the blood was drawn for Jiang Ning's father, Wang Dong and Xu Yun brought the modified and expanded injection.

Such efficiency is really hard to believe.

"The cell transformation and culture was actually completed within a week. This efficiency is several times faster than the most advanced research team in the world. Could it be that the teacher has made a major technological breakthrough?"

"This news is so shocking!"

Lin Yi's mind was running rapidly, thinking about these thoughts in his mind.

The facts in front of him forced him to admit the research results of the Deep Technology Biological Research Laboratory, but he did not think about Xu Yun, thinking that it was his teacher's research that had made a breakthrough.

Of course, the efficiency of the cell transformation and expansion process cannot explain all the problems.

The key still depends on whether the modified cells can accurately and effectively eliminate cancer cells in the patient's body.

This is the most critical and important link in chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy.

If the modified cells cannot guarantee accuracy, attack normal cells in the patient's body, or fail to eliminate all cancer cells, then the final effect will be very unsatisfactory, and may even increase the patient's physical burden.

If this happens, the patient may no longer be able to undergo traditional interventional treatment.

At that time, it can only be controlled with gentle methods to prolong the time for the patient to develop to the advanced stage as much as possible.

When it reaches this step, it means that the human trial has failed.

Of course no one wants this to happen.

"Next, try to keep your father in a relaxed mood and don't worry too much. The hospital will check your father again after a while. As long as it is confirmed that the cancer cells have begun to decrease, it will mean that the chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy is working. It’s working.”

After quickly completing the injection, Lin Yi walked up to Jiang Ning and gave special instructions.

At this time, Jiang Ning naturally no longer had any worries or fears. Anyway, the injection had been completed.

Since you have chosen to participate in human trials, you can only wait for the final results with peace of mind.

What's more, the person in charge of this experiment is her most admired idol.

If she doesn't even trust Xu Yun, then she probably doesn't have anyone she can trust.

So facing Lin Yi's words, she immediately raised her eyes and replied: "Don't worry, Dr. Lin, I will take good care of my father."

After speaking, he turned his attention to Xu Yun, who was not far away.

"I also believe that Teacher Xu can definitely cure my dad." He deliberately used a kind name to express his inner feelings.

Lin Yi nodded and said nothing more.

There is no suspense here, so we just need to wait patiently.

Xu Yun is undoubtedly very concerned about the results of the examination, after all, it is related to the actual treatment effect.

Although the modified cells in the laboratory perform perfectly against cancer cells and can basically achieve a curative effect, when they enter the patient's body, there will be many force majeure factors, and no one can determine in advance what will happen.

The actual situation still depends on the final inspection results.

With his thoughts stuck here, Xu Yun said to Lin Yi: "Please, Dr. Lin, please inform us in advance on the day of the examination."

"No problem, Academician Xu, this is what I should do." Hearing this, Lin Yi agreed without hesitation.

After doing this, Xu Yun didn't stay in the hospital too long, and immediately left with his assistant Wang Dong.

As for Jiang Ning, she took care of her father.

Considering that the next period of time will be critical, in order to keep her father in a better physical condition and to reduce the pressure on her mother as much as possible, she specially asked for a long vacation from school.

Originally, she might be asked to take a temporary break from school during such a long vacation, but after she informed the department head about her father's situation and participated in the human experiment of Xu Yun's project, things went very smoothly, and the school also specially applied for a financial aid fund for her. .

After Lin Yi and others left the ward, Jiang Ning said something to her mother, picked up the kettle, and planned to go outside to get water.

But just as she was about to return to the ward after receiving the water, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.

"girl."

Jiang Ning turned around following the sound and found a woman about the same age as her mother standing in front of her, also holding a kettle in her hand.

Seeing this, a face suddenly appeared in her mind, thinking that the other person was also a family member of a cancer patient in the oncology department.

Although she didn't know what the other party wanted from her, she still asked out of politeness.

"Excuse me, what's the matter, aunt?"

"I heard that you participated in some human experiments in the hospital?" asked the middle-aged woman holding a water bottle.

Lin Yi not only mentioned to them the human trial project of the Deepin Technology Bioresearch Laboratory, so this matter was not an unfamiliar topic among the patients' families, but others were worried about safety issues and did not choose to participate in the human trial.

Hearing this sentence, Jiang Ning frowned slightly and responded even though the other person's tone made her slightly uncomfortable.

"We did participate, but this is a project of Deepin Technology's biological research laboratory."

"You are sending your father into a pit of fire. Isn't this just like being used as a guinea pig to test medicine? Even if you want to save money, you can't do this." The middle-aged woman expressed regret in a tone of experience.

You can imagine Jiang Ning's mood when she was labeled as someone who would send her father into a pit of fire for no reason.

To say that he is not angry would be an absolute lie.

Of course, she didn't let her father participate in human experiments just to save money. After all, she was very resistant at first.

But cancer is different from other diseases. It is difficult to completely cure cancer without recurrence by relying solely on conventional drug control and interventional treatments.

What's more, the side effects caused by radiotherapy, chemotherapy and drugs are also terrifying.

Basically, they will be tortured to the point of being inhumane.

She knew very well what kind of person her father was. If he was really going to be in such a bad state, it would be better to end his life when he was at his most brilliant.

In this case, she learned about the project from Lin Yi, and that Academician Xu Yun, who had created many miracles, was in charge.

Naturally, it is worthy of trust.

You must know that she is also very aware of Xu Yun's achievements. It can be said that no project he is responsible for has failed.

In addition, he carefully checked the development history and related situations of chimeric antigen receptor T cell immunotherapy and knew that this technology has the potential to completely cure cancer and return patients to normalcy.

Moreover, the cost of a single treatment may reach hundreds or even millions, which is beyond what their family can afford under normal circumstances.

Now that you can enjoy free treatment, how can you miss this rare opportunity?

The thought stayed here, and she thought it was necessary to let the other person understand that she made this choice for her father.

"The person who is researching this cancer treatment technology is Xu Yun, the youngest talented academician in the country. He said that my father's condition can be cured. I believe that Academician Xu can do it."

"You little girl is still too young. If you want to treat cancer, you still have to take imported anti-cancer drugs." The middle-aged woman did not agree with Jiang Ning's words, and then told her own opinion: "My husband has lung cancer, and now he needs to take it every day." Taking the anti-cancer drug from the big company Ruihui, called lorlatinib, costs more than 20,000 yuan per box."

"Listen to me and use imported anti-cancer drugs as soon as possible. Don't be afraid of spending money."

Regarding the imported anti-cancer drugs mentioned by middle-aged women, Jiang Ning had also seen it on the Internet because it caused quite a stir when it was first launched two years ago.

I remember that when it was first launched, the price of each box was more than 40,000, which was completely beyond the reach of ordinary families.

Although the price has now dropped to more than 20,000 per box, it is still an unacceptable price.

I don’t know how many families have dragged their families down just to take medicine.

After her brief exchange with the other party, Jiang Ning really had no desire to continue listening.

So I left the last sentence.

"My father has received treatment and I believe he will get better."

After saying that, he took the kettle and returned to the ward.

As if she did not expect that her good intentions would lead to such an attitude, the middle-aged woman did not forget to shout from behind:

"Little girl, you must listen to me and give your dad medicine as soon as possible."

"It will be too late when the condition becomes serious."

Unfortunately, Jiang Ning did not respond.

…

Wherever there are people, there is no shortage of news. In the next few days, the news that Jiang Ning's father participated in the hospital's human trials began to spread in the oncology department, and most cancer patients knew the news.

However, everyone's attitude is basically the same, and they are not very optimistic about it.

According to them, there is no such good thing in the world. Free participation in human trials can cure the disease.

How could there be so many cancer patients if this were the case?

All we can say is that once you get this disease, you should accept it calmly and try to prolong your life through interventional treatment and drug control.

It would be too idealistic to want a complete cure.

This directly led to Jiang Ning and her mother often hearing discussions among the families of other cancer patients.

"You said that little girl was too cruel. In order to save money, she sent her father to the hospital to be a guinea pig. I heard that he is only in the middle stage. If he is treated normally, he may live for many years."

"Who says it's not the case? I'm afraid it will be in its advanced stage soon."

"What a sin!"

"It seems that he is the only one participating in the entire oncology department. I think this is almost like taking human life lightly."

"Dr. Lin also told us about this matter, but my son refused on the spot. He said he wanted to cure his mother even if he was trying to sell everything."

"It's not about money. When you get a disease like cancer, taking medicine is almost as fast as burning money."

…

These words undoubtedly caused a lot of pressure on Jiang Ning and her mother. It would be absolutely false to say that she was not worried at all.

But in order for her father to get well as soon as possible, Jiang Ning still relied on her strong mentality to endure it. In addition to trying not to let her father hear the comments from the outside world that affected her mood, she also often comforted her mother to reassure her.

Whenever she could no longer hold on, she would think of Xu Yun, whose life was full of miracles.

She believed that Xu Yun would definitely be able to create a miracle this time.

Lin Yi, as the deputy chief doctor, also saw this and sympathized with Jiang Ning for having to bear all this as a college freshman, and also tried to provide appropriate convenience in many places.

However, most of Jiang Ning declined.

As time passed like this, it was finally time for Jiang Ning's father to check again.

Since Lin Yi notified the biological research laboratory in advance and the inspection was of great significance to the project, in addition to Xu Yun attending, Ding Wei also came over specially.

In the morning of that day, Jiang Ning's father was sent to the examination room with everyone watching and expecting.

In addition to Jiang Ning and her mother who were praying anxiously, Xu Yun and Ding Wei were full of confidence, as if they had seen the final results of the examination.

Of course, Lin Yi also saw the expressions of his teacher and Xu Yun, which made him have to think about whether Jiang Ning's father's condition could really be effectively solved.

Especially the excitement on the face of his junior brother Wang Dong next to him made him even more convinced of his guess.

…
