Chapter 433 Justice Speaks Out
Fei Nuo Medical Group has twelve group subsidiaries, but the largest is Hanksen Company, which mainly focuses on orthopedic medical equipment.

As a listed company, the market capitalization of Fei Nuo Group has exceeded 1500 billion US dollars. As one of the world's top [-] medical groups, it ranks eighth in the medical circle.

Johnson & Johnson ranked first, followed by UnitedHealth and Pfizer.

Hankison's 30-storey office building is located in Detroit, USA, and today Hankison is holding a monthly meeting.

Pierce is the general manager of Hankison. As the general manager of Fei Nuo, he is independently responsible for the daily affairs and operations of Hankison.

Pierce is in a good mood. Last year, Hankison did a good job in expanding his business, and accounted for 40.00% of the entire Fei Nuo Group in terms of profit growth.

"Shouldn't everyone express their opinions?"

Pierce is not an independent person, as a general manager, he is very good at listening to the advice of the crowd.

The person in charge of the marketing department said: "At present, in terms of structural adjustment in the second half of the year, I suggest that we can slightly focus on the direction of hip and knee prostheses. The market return in the first half of the year..."

The meeting went well, and it was coming to a close soon.

Miller, who is in charge of academic research, hesitated again and again, got up and said, "Maybe before the meeting is over, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Pierce smiled: "It seems that our meeting today will not be too boring. Dr. Miller, the good news should have been shared earlier."

Pierce thought Miller had discovered something new.

Miller took out a journal, got up and said: "This is a journal from China called "Puze Latest Medicine". He recently published an article called "10000 Cases of Cobalt Chromium Implantation in Kyoto City Positive complication study results in patients with alloy prostheses."

"This article is about the complications of patients with cobalt-chromium alloy implants within ten years. It describes some shortcomings and shortcomings of cobalt-chromium alloys, the most important one is the hidden danger of inducing anxiety disorders. , if this is true, it may affect the sales of cobalt-chromium alloy prostheses."

Pierce took the magazine curiously, read it carefully, and after reading it, he asked, "How's the influence of this journal?"

Miller: ""Puze Latest Medicine" has been established for a long time, and it has a good status in China. However, it was only at the beginning of this year that it entered the SCI database, and the person in charge of the journal is the author of this article: Bai Ye."

When Bai Ye said the word, everyone present was stunned.

Because in the field of orthopedics, Bai Ye still has some considerable influence, especially the treatment of Cruise in Los Angeles, which was even more heated at the time.

Pierce frowned: "Bai Ye? I remember he has an orthopedic hospital. Has the marketing department contacted him?"

The man in the marketing department shook his head: "We seldom cooperate with small hospitals, and we have a general agent in Asia, which should be in charge of this matter. Two days ago, our Asian general agent made a report about this matter." There have been some responses to the matter, and some articles have been published in response.”

And Miller also nodded: "Well, I am also aware of this matter. We have never stopped research on the adverse reactions of cobalt-chromium alloys, but there are very few studies on anxiety disorders, because studies on anxiety disorders and mania .”

Pierce still asked cautiously: "This matter has to be studied carefully by Dr. Miller. I don't want Hankerson's reputation to be damaged."

The marketing department smiled: "You don't have to worry about the general manager. Although our Hankison focuses on the production and development of cobalt-chromium alloy prosthesis, there are not a few people in the world who are also developing cobalt-chromium alloy prosthesis. Bai Ye’s move is very unwise, because cobalt-chromium alloy prostheses are still the mainstream in the market, and if there are no new products that can replace them, these rumors are just a trivial matter.”

Miller also nodded: "Bai Ye is challenging this industry. He doesn't even know how big the market he is facing."

However, no matter what the people around him said, Pierce had his own plan in mind: "Well, let the Asian general manager meet with Bai Ye and invite Bai Ye to be the research professor of our company's marketing research and development department. If this matter can be done But it’s over, if you can’t, you can give some small means appropriately.”

After the meeting, Pierce did not leave, but came together with Miller and asked: "When is the manual for the cobalt-chromium alloy prosthesis we are currently using?"

Miller hesitated: "The head office asked us to use the 1999 research results!"

Pierce breathed a sigh of relief and remained silent.

..............................

Mitsuida Sheng is the general agent of Hankerson Company in Asia. After receiving the order from above, he flew to Kyoto on the same day, and made an appointment with Bai Ye the next day, hoping to have a friendly meeting.

Bai Ye was also a little curious about this visit, but we still met.

"Hello, Mr. Bai Ye, let me introduce myself. I am the Asian general representative of Fenuo Group Hankison Company, Mitsuida Mori." Mitsuida Mori bowed and greeted him with full etiquette and fluent English.

"Hello, Mr. Mitsui, please sit down. I don't know if I'm here today. What's the matter?"

"Today's sudden visit is to invite you on behalf of the head office to become a consultant for our product development department of Hankison."

Bai Ye was even more surprised. He paid a sudden visit and invited himself to be the consultant of the company's R&D department. Don't say whether he wants to go or not, but there must be something going on.

"Sorry, I don't have the idea of ​​going abroad at the moment, and I don't have much experience in product development, so I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

Bai Ye thought while talking, Fei Nuo Group?This is one of the top [-] companies in the world, and they invited themselves to do product research and development. Fei Nuo... Hankerson... suddenly Bai Ye understood.

The cobalt chromium prosthetic thing!
Did you see your own article?
It seems that my article still plays a certain role.

And all of a sudden a big fish came out!

Mitsui Tiansheng: "There is one more thing, if you excuse me, if Mr. Bai Ye can stop researching cobalt-chromium alloys, we are willing to provide your research institute with a certain amount of research funding for free and cooperate with your company at a preferential price. product sales."

"The partners and friends that Hankison needs, I think we can cooperate!"

Bai Ye smiled and said, "I'm sorry, we have partners now, and we don't lack research funding."

Seeing that Bai Ye refused to enter, Mitsuida Sheng was a little unhappy for a while: "It is not a wise choice to reject Hankison. Mr. Bai is not an irrational person, is he?"

Bai Ye shook his head: "Do you know what the core concept of a medical enterprise is?"

"It is health. The health of patients is the driving force behind the research and development of the medical industry. What we doctors have to do is to choose a material that is more suitable for patients, not a material that is more profitable."

"I think if your company has extra funds, it might as well do research on how to reduce the adverse reactions of cobalt-chromium alloys, instead of using public relations to buy the conscience of doctors."

After speaking, Bai Ye got up and left directly. Bai Ye didn't like Hankerson. As such a big company, Bai Ye didn't believe that the other party didn't find so many side effects of cobalt-chromium alloy prosthesis. Prosthetics have been used for more than ten years.

At present, it is still active in the market, and Hanksen, as a material specially developed for orthopedic prosthesis, has been leading the research on cobalt-chromium alloy for too many years.

The more Bai Ye researches recently, the more he discovers many defects about cobalt-chromium alloys. Many of these defects are irreversible, such as the toxicity of cobalt-chromium ions. The damage to the nervous system is irreversible damage, although there is no clear research. result.

Moreover, Bai Ye discovered that this toxicity is a long-term chronic induced disease. For example, cobalt chromium toxicity can stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, but if the patient has gastrointestinal diseases and is in a highly sensitive state, at this time , superimposed cobalt chromium toxicity, the impact on patients will be even greater!

At present, most of the cobalt-chromium alloy prostheses currently used on the market are basically made of Feno Hankison’s materials, and the adverse reactions and side effects of the products are also provided by Hanksen’s company.

So for the cobalt-chromium alloy prosthesis, it is basically the Fei Nuo Group that has the final say.

To put it bluntly, in this field, basically this person is covering the sky with one hand!
Bai Ye didn't believe that the other party didn't discover the seriousness of cobalt-chromium alloy under pathological conditions. If it was said that Bai Ye was doing it for money at the beginning, but now, some things have shifted, and he can't accept such an exact harm. Healthy products are constantly being sold around the world.

Some time ago, in order to obtain some cobalt-chromium alloy prostheses, Bai Ye specially met with Zhou Luo. Zhou Luo was the company that acted as an agent at the beginning. Their company has the agency rights of many foreign companies.

Zhou Luo told Bai Ye that Fei Nuo raised agency fees for domestic sales, and the contract was very unequal.

The reason is that the domestically recognized brand of cobalt-chromium alloy prosthesis is produced by Feno Hankison.

Generally speaking, the price of cobalt-chromium alloy hip joints of domestic companies is only about 3 yuan, and if it is Fenohanksen's, basically there is no 8 yuan that cannot be bought.

Obviously using a large number of domestic markets, but it is very unfriendly to domestic patients.

The after-sales service is even worse. Generally speaking, after using such expensive equipment, there are regular inspections and maintenance abroad, and even after-sales work for the treatment of adverse reactions, but in China, Fei Nuo Group is basically not responsible.

The attitude is that you love to buy and buy, and love to use.

That's what it means to bully customers.

Now Bai Ye's research is progressing faster and faster.

Even, Bai Ye has found clues about anxiety disorders.

October NO.15, the scientific research team discovered a phenomenon.

The human amygdala is the center responsible for the management of emotions. When the human body is under increased pressure, the cortisol produced by the human body increases significantly, and when cortisol is at a high level for a long time, it will damage the hippocampus and frontal nerves. These are easy cause emotional instability.

Serotonin such as norepinephrine and dopamine can elevate mood, increase happiness, relieve stress, and boost mood.

However, if free cobalt chromium exists, it will change the growth of glial cells in the brain, and even produce abnormal metabolism.

As a result, the insufficient supply of amino acids in the brain causes abnormal secretion of neurotransmitters, which eventually leads to the secretion of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin.

Thus affecting people's emotions, causing anxiety disorders!
The technical team has produced related experimental models of rats. This research result is very remarkable, and it has been proved that the cobalt-chromium alloy prosthesis will significantly increase the risk factors in different states of patients, and it will definitely affect the anxiety state of the human body.

In the research institute, under the call of Bai Ye, more than 30 related articles have been written.

This time, Bai Ye did not plan to publish it himself, but directly called Ke Ao, the editor-in-chief of "cell", hoping to publish a special issue on cobalt-chromium alloy.

After Ke Ao received the call, he hesitated for a moment: "Bai Ye, do you know the status of Fei Nuo Group in the United States?"

After Bai Ye heard the news, he didn't answer, and asked directly: "I know that in the United States, magazines represent the rights and voices of the people. Could it be that Fei Nuo has influenced the media?"

When Ke Ao heard the news, he was also extremely shocked, but he hesitated and said: "I'm not talking about this, this is a large interest group, and the publication of your article is likely to cause a major earthquake in the medical circle. "

Bai Ye: "That's better than a group of people who don't know why. I don't believe that Fei Nuo has studied cobalt-chromium alloys for so many years and has no idea at all. He is just hiding it."

Ke Ao took a deep breath: "This matter is not a trivial matter, we should prepare well, how many articles do you have, or do you have definite evidence to prove what you have studied?"

Bai Ye nodded: "It's all there! It's just...can you post it?"

After Bai Ye finished speaking, he let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little embarrassed for Ke Ao. Indeed, this matter is no longer up to Ke Ao.

Ke Ao is just an editor-in-chief, an excellent employee under "Cell", with a bright future, maybe I shouldn't find him.

However, the influence of "cell" is much greater than that of "Puze's latest medicine"!

Ke Ao: "Send it! I decide to issue a special issue. This is not a trivial matter. Cobalt-chromium alloy prostheses are used by more than 200 million people in the world every day. I must let the people of the world see the true colors of cobalt-chromium alloy!"

"America needs justice!"

"You send me the article later, all of them, I will publish a special issue!"

Bai Ye nodded: "I have prepared 30 articles!"
