Doctor: start with the heart

Chapter 131 Come to an end
a week later.

MRI room.

Just a week ago, under the leadership of Zhao Xu, the medical team of the research center successfully developed phagocytic cells specifically targeting glial tumor cells and injected them into the tumor tissue.

And today is the day to review the cranial MRI.

Whether the phagocytes injected into the tumor tissue have played a role can be known by looking at the results of brain MRI today.

At this moment, Zhao Xu, Sun Chang, Lu Chen, and Xu Minghang were all standing outside the transparent glass curtain wall, waiting for the results of the brain MRI.

"Doctor Zhao, how can I see that you are not nervous at all?"

Looking at Zhao Xu's calm expression, Lu Chen couldn't help asking.

You know, no matter whether it is her, Sun Chang, or Xu Minghang, they are all a little nervous at this moment.

After all, it can be said that in the current medical field, radiotherapy or chemotherapy is still used in the treatment of tumors, which is a treatment method that kills one thousand enemies and damages oneself eight hundred.

Although tumor cells are destroyed, normal human cells and tissues are also damaged.

As a result, many patients with advanced tumors have to use very high-intensity radiotherapy or extremely high-dose chemotherapy because of the high proliferation of tumor cells.

In this way, the damage to the normal cells of the human body will be very serious. Many patients have not had their tumors disappear, and their bodies cannot bear it.

"Such a result is expected."

Zhao Xu said calmly.

"Doctor Zhao, this is at least a case of being able to graduate as a doctor, or even apply to be a deputy chief doctor or associate professor."

Lu Chen said again.

Now she is glad again that she came to the research center, which is the right time.

Among other things, she participated in the treatment of two patients during this period, one with high paraplegia and the other with advanced glioblastoma, and both were cured.

Based on these two cases, if she writes a thesis, she will be promoted from attending doctor to deputy chief doctor without any problem.

So Lu Chen took the fast lane. The colleagues who worked with her in the cardiac surgery department envied her so much.

In the research center, the work intensity is not too high, but there is a sense of accomplishment. All related benefits are given priority by the hospital.

Thinking about this, I don't know how many doctors want to enter the research center with their heads broken.

"Okay, this is just the beginning, you have to have confidence in the research center, am I right? Junior."

Sun Chang, who was standing next to him, said with a smile when he heard what Lu Chen said.

Among all the people in the group, only Sun Chang had always called Zhao Xu his junior. This was also because she had been by Zhao Xu's side since Zhao Xu entered the First Affiliated Academy.

Whether it was Zhao Xu's superior doctor who gave him a lot of help in the past, or the deputy team leader who was in charge of most of the routine work now, it can be said that no one can replace Sun Chang's position.

"Ah."

Zhao Xu nodded.

He has always been looking forward. The current prospects of the research center are known to all the doctors in the First Affiliated Hospital, so there is no need to talk about it.

Therefore, in today's world, teamwork is still very important. Individual heroism simply does not work in modern society, and it is even more so in the field of scientific research. Scientists like Da Vinci in the Middle Ages rely on themselves The ability to span dozens of scientific research fields is basically impossible now.

The current scientific research is becoming more and more refined, and many scientists are only engaged in a sub-item of a large scientific field.

Just like the stem cell therapy that the research center is doing now, it is actually a sub-category of medicine.

There is no all-rounder in modern science, because the amount of information in modern science is too great.

This is simply not the information that a person's brain can carry. However, if brain science continues to develop in the future, maybe one day, a person can also be proficient in all scientific categories.

"The result is out."

At this moment, the imaging doctor raised his head and said.

Zhao Xu saw that He Teng's brain image was clearly displayed on the electronic screen.

In the brainstem area, in addition to the brainstem imaging, there is also high-density tumor tissue imaging.

But now, the tumor tissue around the brainstem was developed, and now it has shrunk greatly!
"Success! We succeeded!"

Lu Chen was the first to exclaim.

You must know that advanced glioma is a worldwide problem. It can be said that the effect of radiotherapy and chemotherapy is very poor for this disease. The only hopeful treatment is surgery.

However, for advanced glioblastoma, the expected one-year survival rate after surgery is less than 20.00%, and only one fifth of the patients can live for one year after surgery.

The expected three-year survival rate after surgery is zero.

That is to say, even if the operation is performed at the risk of life, the best result is to live for three years longer.

It is conceivable that such a terminal illness was overcome by Lu Chen's medical team, how could this prevent Lu Chen from feeling excited!
"We made it!"

Even Sun Chang, who has always been very calm, couldn't help saying happily when he saw this result.

Although he had cured a patient with high paraplegia before, Sun Chang would still feel happy even if he experienced this feeling of overcoming an incurable disease a hundred times.

Perhaps this is the time when I feel the most worthwhile and happiest as a doctor, and this is where the greatest value of the profession of a doctor lies.

"It's incredible!"

The imaging doctor sitting in front of the operating table also looked in disbelief.

As a doctor who specializes in MRI examinations, I don't know how many images of brain tumors I have seen.

As for the images of advanced glioblastoma, he is very familiar with it, not to mention that the patient lying in it for examination is the son of the richest man, so he has an impression of He Teng's brain image a week ago. Very profound.

"Doctor Zhao, look, most of the tumors have disappeared. It's been a long time since I've had an examination. This is the first time I've seen this kind of situation."

The imaging doctor called up the results from a week ago and said to Zhao Xu.

"Ah."

Seeing the excited faces of several people, Zhao Xu just nodded calmly.

In his view, there are no miracles in medicine, and if there are miracles, they are created.

"Do another brainstem weighted analysis."

Zhao Xu looked at the electronic screen and said to the imaging doctor.

"OK, all right."

The imaging doctor nodded and began to operate.

Brainstem weighted analysis is an image enhancement made specifically for the brainstem, the purpose is to observe the brainstem tissue in depth.

With the operation of the imaging doctor, the weighted image of the brainstem is quickly displayed on the electronic screen.

However, as soon as the image came out, Zhao Xu frowned.

I just saw that most of the tumor tissue has been eliminated, which shows that the directional cultured phagocytes injected into the tumor tissue group have played a very good role, and the tumor tissue cells are phagocytized and eliminated bit by bit.

So the most important thing now is to see whether the normal brainstem tissue has been affected.

"Doctor Zhao, the weighted analysis shows that the brainstem tissue has atrophied to varying degrees."

The imaging doctor said in a deep voice.

This atrophy of brainstem tissue is not a small problem. Clinically, brainstem atrophy is mainly manifested as sluggish expression, unresponsiveness, dizziness, unsteady walking, tremors in hands and feet, astringent speech, strong tongue, coughing, salivation, frequent urination , memory loss, obstacles in abstract thinking and orientation, loss of interest in external things, ambiguous pronunciation, incoherent speech in severe cases, and inability to take care of oneself in severe cases, incontinence of bowel and bladder, and even paralysis.

"I see."

Zhao Xu nodded.

His expression was no longer as relaxed as before.

The side effects of the treatment still appeared. It seems that sometimes nothing is perfect in this world.

"Send the patient back to the ward."

Zhao Xu said to Sun Chang who was standing aside.

"Ah."

Sun Chang nodded.

She understood that Zhao Xu was not particularly happy at this time.

Because the brainstem atrophy caused by phagocytic treatment of tumors is irreversible, and will affect other parts of the brain tissue, it can be said that the tumor is cured, but the person is useless.

He Teng was quickly sent back to the ward, and Zhao Xu returned to the ward with Sun Chang and the others.

As soon as Zhao Xu entered the ward, He Yun asked Zhao Xu eagerly, "Doctor Zhao, how is Xiao Teng doing?"

Although the recent events have made him a little exhausted, He Yun has always been a person who has seen the world.

Moreover, even if his wealth has shrunk significantly and the control over some things has been handed over, the remaining wealth he owns is enough for him to live a life of luxury that ordinary people can't imagine for the rest of his life.

What he is most concerned about now is whether his son's illness has been cured.

As long as his son is alive, for him, it is already the greatest gift that God has given him.

"The results of nuclear magnetic resonance showed that most of the tumor tissue has disappeared, and it will not take long for all tumor cells to be eliminated."

Zhao Xu said briefly and forcefully.

"Great! Doctor Zhao, thank you, thank you!"

He Yun became excited when he heard Zhao Xu's words. He held Zhao Xu's hand with both hands and kept shaking it.

In nearly 20 years, he had never been so grateful to a person.

What happened recently made him understand that his son is the most important treasure in his life.

For a while, he was about to lose this treasure, but what he didn't expect was that everything turned around.

This feeling of having gone through a desperate situation and regaining what was lost really made He Yun feel unbelievable.

"You're welcome, I still have something to tell you."

Zhao Xu said again.

"Doctor Zhao, let's go out and talk."

Hearing Zhao Xu's words, He Yun looked at his son who was lying on the bed. Because he was going to be checked and took some sedative drugs, he was in a coma and said to Zhao Xu.

Soon, Zhao Xu and He Yun arrived outside the ward.

Before Zhao Xu could speak, He Yun suddenly asked, "Doctor Zhao, what you want to tell me is about the side effects?"

"Ah."

Zhao Xu nodded. He Yun was indeed very perceptive. Before he said anything, He Yun guessed what he wanted to say.

"Doctor Zhao, how serious will this side effect be?"

He Yun asked solemnly.

"According to the results of the imaging examination, the atrophy of the brainstem has already appeared. If it is well controlled in the future, the atrophy will not continue to develop. However, the atrophied brainstem tissue cannot be recovered with the current medical level. In other words, He will be slightly unable to take care of himself in the future."

Zhao Xu said seriously.

"If you can't recover now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to recover in the future. Am I right, Doctor Zhao?"

He Yun thought about it, then suddenly looked at Zhao Xu and said.

"It can only be said that it is possible."

Zhao Xu didn't say that it's impossible, because the repair of brain tissue represents the repair and remodeling of the brain. At present, this is a forbidden area of ​​human medicine. Even if Zhao Xu has a system, this forbidden area It is not so easy to break through.

"Doctor Zhao, I believe in you. In my opinion, you have already created a miracle on Xiao Teng, and only you can create more miracles in the future."

He Yun suddenly looked at Zhao Xu and said firmly.

He has always been very accurate in seeing people, and there is a principle of trend in this world.

People who can do something unexpected will always surprise everyone and do things that ordinary people can't think of.

As an Internet financial tycoon, He Yun's insight and vision are very high. He knows that no matter what field he is in, cutting-edge breakthroughs will always be achieved by a very small number of people.

"You are very different from what you imagined."

Zhao Xu said suddenly.

Zhao Xu did not expect He Yun to behave like this.

In other words, He Yun is more open-minded than he imagined, with a higher vision and insight.

"Doctor Zhao, when we first met, I told you that to understand a person, you can't just go through appearances. However, these are not important now. I will spend most of my time in the future taking care of my little one. Teng still does charity work. As for the things that change the world, I have given them to others."

Speaking of this, He Yun felt a sense of relief, as if he had completely let go of the Internet financial empire he had created.

"Can you really let it go completely?"

Zhao Xu said.

"So what if I can't let go? This ending is already very good for me. Xiao Teng's illness has been cured, and I have left the stage safely. Doctor Zhao, sometimes enough is enough in life. This is what I have experienced. Such a big lesson comes from experience.”

He Yun said with a sigh.

"Doctor Zhao, you don't have to worry about the fund. Although I'm out now, it's still possible to support you in establishing a research center. The funds that were stopped before will be picked up soon."

After a pause, He Yun suddenly said again.

"I see."

Zhao Xu nodded, looking at the vicissitudes of life, but more relieved and relaxed He Yun, Zhao Xu suddenly had more and deeper insights into life.
