From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 343 So close to the artificial nerve?

At the beginning of the operation, the anesthesiologist anesthetized first, and after waiting for the anesthesia to take effect, Chen Xuan picked up the scalpel from the tray next to him and started to operate on the patient's spine.

The blood flowed out in an instant, but Chen Xuan was naturally prepared for the method of stopping the bleeding, and immediately stopped the bleeding from the wound.

In neurosurgery, the surgical field of view is very important. After all, the nerves are so thin, if blood blocks the field of view, even the most powerful doctor will be helpless.

Of course, for a powerful doctor, the means to stop the bleeding are naturally not a problem, otherwise they would not be called a powerful doctor.

Obviously, Chen Xuan was also in this list.

Soon, the blood was sucked away, and the red flesh and white spine were already visible.

As Lin Xiao entered the operating room for the first time, seeing such a scene, he still felt uncomfortable.

However, he quickly used his powerful brain to divert his attention from the discomfort to the patient's surgical wound.

At this moment, he could already see the damaged spine inside, which was broken into two pieces.

And among the two severed vertebrae, there are many thin wires, which are connected by broken wires.

There are blood vessels and nerves!

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes to make his sight more focused.

Now his brain allows him to see these extremely tiny things with ease.

In addition, his computer-like brain also allowed him to quickly distinguish which two disconnected nerves or blood vessels were the same.

At the same time, Chen Xuan said, "A magnifying glass."

Then, a nurse next to him put a head-mounted thing on Chen Xuan. This is a head-mounted magnifying glass for surgery, which is very suitable for this type of surgery.

After Chen Xuan put on the things, he had a serious face and started the neurosurgery.

However, Lin Xiao showed a strange expression.

In that case, he also has the ability to become a top neurologist?

After all, his eyes can now distinguish things as small as 10 microns. In addition, his hands can even achieve a positioning accuracy of less than 10 microns. This ability is completely god-level for a doctor talent.

Of course, he was just thinking about it in his heart. After all, to be a doctor still needs to be verified, and he is not interested in doing such a thing.

Without thinking too much, he began to think about what the artificial nerve should look like based on his past understanding of neuroscience and the real nerve in front of him.

"Perhaps, fiber materials would be a good direction? After all, they are nerve fibers..."

He rubbed his chin in thought.

In this way, time passed quickly.

During the first two hours of the operation, no one chatted. Of course, the main reason was that Chen Xuan didn't chat, and the others naturally didn't dare to chat.

But after two hours passed, Chen Xuan took the initiative to speak: "Xiao Liu, how was the operation on your calf nerve last time?"

A doctor next to him was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's not bad, the patient recovered quite well after the operation, and I heard that he can already walk on the ground."

"That's good. Anyway, during my operation, you should take a good look at it and study hard. I'm still waiting for you to help us share it in the future."

That doctor Liu said: "Haha, I will work hard and strive to achieve it."

"Ah."

Chen Xuan nodded.

And as Chen Xuan spoke, the dull atmosphere in the operating room suddenly became lighter.

As the saying goes, in the operating room, if you don't say a word all the time, it means that the operation is in trouble and it's not easy to do, especially when the surgeon is silent, and if you chat and talk, it means that everything is under control Among them, if it is a local anesthesia operation and the patient's consciousness is still a little clear, maybe the doctor will say some funny jokes to make the patient feel more stable.

And next to Lin Xiao was a nurse, who also said to Lin Xiao: "Director Chen is really amazing, it was done so quickly."

Lin Xiao recovered from his thoughts and said with a smile, "Yes."

Looking at Chen Xuan's movements, he was almost done, and he was connecting the last broken nerve. He was very skilled, and he was worthy of being the chief physician of Xiehe Hospital.

Nerves have a dendritic structure. The central nervous system is the main trunk, and it will branch out into many branches. What Chen Xuan needs to do is to find these disconnected nerves and connect them all. If one is not connected, it may cause sequelae. In addition, these nerves are very small, so this kind of operation is more difficult.

Basically, though, the problem is gone.

At this time, the nurse looked at the eyes under Lin Xiao's mask and surgical cap again, and felt a little familiar. Before the operation, she didn't tell them who the person who came to visit the operation was or what his name was, so she asked He said: "By the way, which hospital do you belong to? Is it a doctor from 301 Hospital?"

She had stayed in 301 Hospital before, so she thought she had met Lin Xiao there.

Lin Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, "No."

The nurse was even more puzzled, so why did she feel that Lin Xiao was familiar?
But at this time, Chen Xuan called out again. It turned out that the last nerve had been connected, and it was time to prepare for finishing work. Let the nurse prepare.

The nurse immediately responded and went to her work.

After this operation, Lin Xiao also gained a lot.

He knows how to choose materials.

With a slight smile on his face, a confident face appeared on his face again.

At this time, the finishing work also began, mainly to fix the spine and then suture.

Next, whether the patient can successfully restore mobility depends on whether the recovery can be completed by the ability of nerve cells in the future, and drugs need to be taken during this period.

Lin Xiao estimated that today's surgery observation would be over, and this experience was also the first time for him.

However, when he turned his eyes to the patient's wound again, he was taken aback for a moment. He clearly saw that when the spine was fixed, there was a broken bone in the depth of the gap less than 0.1 micron between the broken spines. The nerves are not connected!
Seeing that Chen Xuan and the others were about to fix the spine, he immediately said, "Wait!"

Everyone present was taken aback for a moment, and then they all looked at Lin Xiao.

What does this person who came to observe the operation want to do?

How dare you call a stop when Director Chen is about to end?
Aren't you afraid of being taught a lesson by Director Chen?
Although Chen Xuan usually smiled and was very kind, he was never soft-spoken when scolding people, even those from the outer courtyard.

However, what surprised them even more was that Chen Xuan was not angry, but instead asked, "Professor Lin, what's wrong?"

These people were taken aback for a moment, this is also a professor?
Looking at the eyes exposed on his mask, he is obviously quite young, right?
But Lin Xiao didn't say anything, walked up and down, pulled the operating light, and pointed at the gap in the spine, and said directly: "There is still a nerve not connected here!"

The people present were stunned.

So little gap, what can you see?
However, Chen Xuan's face became serious, and he asked the nurse to put on the head-mounted magnifying glass again, and then looked carefully. After a long while, he suddenly moved: "Yes! There is indeed one more!"

This one is hidden too deep, and it's a very delicate nerve, so it's hard to find.

If it wasn't for Lin Xiao's reminder, this nerve might not be connected.

Although the position of this nerve is not a key nerve, if it is not connected, it will inevitably leave some impact on the patient.

So Chen Xuan immediately stopped the action of fixing the spine, began to re-expose the surgical field of vision, and then began to try to connect the nerve.

Because the nerve was too deep and was close to the split spine, even Chen Xuan spent a lot of effort before finally connecting it.

"All right."

Chen Xuan let out a long breath, and the nurse next to him quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Chen Xuan also expressed his gratitude to Lin Xiao at this time: "Professor Lin, thank you very much."

If it wasn't for Lin Xiao's reminder, this nerve would probably be missed like this, and it would leave sequelae to the patient, but Chen Xuan didn't want to see it.

Lin Xiao smiled and waved his hands: "It's nothing, it's all for the patients."

And the other people in the operating room also cast surprised glances at him.

How sharp are this man's eyes?Can this be seen?

The surgical incision was not that big, and the door was opened alone. In addition, even after the bleeding was stopped, some blood would flow out from time to time. It was almost impossible to see it under such circumstances.

With these eyes alone, he has the potential to become a top doctor.

The other doctors present all felt envy in their hearts, but this is a talent, and envy cannot be envied.

After that, the surgery was officially over.

Quickly re-fix the spine, suture the surgical wound, and let the patient lie flat on the bed again.

The whole process took more than three hours and was very complicated, but it was finally over.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the doctor Chen Xuan called Xiao Liu walked towards Lin Xiao, took off his mask, and stretched out his hand to him: "Hello, Professor Lin, I'm Liu Deqiang, your eyes are How did you practice? I am very curious."

Lin Xiao smiled, took off his mask as well, stretched out his hand and said, "I don't know, it's probably innate."

Then he shook hands with Liu Deqiang.

However, when he took off his mask, the people in the operating room were stunned.

"Lin Lin Lin Lin... Are you Professor Lin Xiao?"

Seeing this young face, Liu Deqiang immediately stuttered for a long time, and finally shouted out.

And it was even more so for others, including the nurse who talked to Lin Xiao just now. They never expected that the person who came to observe was not a doctor from the outer hospital, but a genius scientist who they knew almost all over the country!

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "No, no, don't do this."

Chen Xuan, who was next to him, came over with a smile and said, "Professor Lin, your name is famous all over the country. They are all excited when they see you, so I suggest not to announce your identity before the operation." , so as not to distract them during the operation."

Lin Xiao smiled helplessly, so sometimes being too famous is not a good thing.

"Have you gained anything from coming to see this operation?" Chen Xuan said at this time: "Speaking of which, I don't know what you are going to do when you come to see me for this operation."

Lin Xiao said, "Artificial nerves."

Chen Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and then he became very surprised: "Are you actually going to study this thing?"

Lin Xiao nodded: "Yes."

Chen Xuan was even more excited. As a researcher in neurology, he really knew the significance of artificial nerves, so he quickly asked, "Are you sure now?"

Lin Xiao shook his head: "It depends on luck."

Chen Xuan nodded: "Okay, if you have any questions during your research, just ask me, although I don't know much about material science, but if it's something related to nerves, I'm sure I can answer you .”

Lin Xiao smiled and nodded: "Then thank you very much."

"It's nothing to be thankful for."

Chen Xuan shook his head, "If you research this, I would first of all have to say thank you to you for the countless patients in the world who have suffered from neurological problems."

How many paraplegic patients will be blessed by this?

He knows it all too well.

When the other doctors and nurses around heard their conversation, they couldn't help being surprised.

Lin Xiao actually wants to study artificial nerves?
When this thing comes out, it will save them a lot of work in neurology.

Car accidents, falls, and other accidents lead to problems such as nerve ruptures. As long as the artificial nerve is connected, nothing will happen.

They immediately looked at Lin Xiao as if they were saints, and silently hoped in their hearts that Lin Xiao could really solve this technique.

At this time, Lin Xiao also looked at the time, and then said: "Okay, I should go too. Whether I can succeed or not depends on my next research."

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news." Chen Xuan nodded and watched Lin Xiao leave.

Then he turned his head and saw the doctors and nurses who were also looking at Lin Xiao's back, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't look at it, let's continue to work, wait for Professor Lin to really come up with artificial nerves, and our work will be too late." It can be much easier."

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

……

Lin Xiao returned to the Dingguang Research Institute and continued to study related content.

"The fiber material is the most suitable, and it is thin enough to be used to wrap superconductors."

But thinking of this, Lin Xiao suddenly slapped his head: "Damn, why didn't I think of superconducting fibers?"

The material of superconductor fiber was made of niobium-titanium alloy in the past.

And now, he can definitely think of a way to make the CCD-I into a fiber shape, and then directly connect it to the nerves, which is much more perfect than the plan he thought of before!

Because of his previous scheme, there will still be some unpredictable resistance, resulting in unpredictable changes in nerve signals.

But now the nerve will be directly connected to the superconductor, and the nerve signal will not change at all!

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao couldn't help crying and laughing: "Dare you, I'm actually so close to the artificial nerve?"
