This doctor has a system

Chapter 545 608. Savior
"You've been with me for so long, can't you expect me to do something?" The boss was very helpless, "Our company was acquired."

"I think you two are lucky. Your new team is very strong."

This small company called Huanchen Technology was officially acquired by Fengxin Technology because they had a patent in hydrolase engineering.

This patent was registered three years ago and has not brought any profit to the company. But one month ago, people from Fengxin Technology came to the company and proposed to purchase the patent.

The boss was very cunning. After several attempts, he found that the other party was determined to win, so he simply asked for a huge price and sold the company to the other party.

"You two were also sold there. I specifically requested it." said the boss.

"But why?" Ma Kui was a little overwhelmed by his kindness. "I often sell laboratory consumables. Don't you know that?"

"I like employees like you who are full of stealing sense." The boss said, "By the way, don't dare to do this again when you go to the new place. If you are fired, you will lose a lot."

"No, the main reason here is that you pay too little and always default on payments, otherwise I wouldn't do this."

The reason why Fengxin Technology acquired this company is simple. They have taken another step forward in the research of PD-1, and this technology will be needed in the next step.

The barriers created by this technology are very high and can be circumvented but it is very difficult. However, after Dr. Lu and his colleagues evaluated the situation, they felt that the cost outweighed the benefits.

It would be better to acquire it in advance while the other party is unaware of the huge value, so as to avoid unknown risks later.

Gao Feng was also a little emotional when he learned about this. He was a little confused as to how such a small company could have achieved this. He could only say that luck is indeed very important in scientific research.

Today is the day when Professor Lasse West and others lead Patton to State Z. Gao Feng specially took time out to visit the little patient.

Due to his illness, little Patton looks a little thin and is much smaller than other children of the same age. He curled up in his mother's arms and didn't even want to open his eyes.

Patton's father quickly stepped forward to shake hands with Gao Feng. Before coming, he had carefully read the information of this Chinese professor and had placed all his hopes on him.

"Don't worry, we will do our best."

Gene therapy requires customization, which is why Patton had to come to China.

The next day, the laboratory drew blood from the patient, which was an essential step. The blood sample also needed to be separated into components in order to cultivate a large number of recombinant adeno-associated virus vectors.

However, due to the presence of hydrolases in the human sheath, this viral vector needs to be re-edited.

"Jia Ran, add a methyl group to it." Gao Feng said.

"Me?" Hu Jiaran was stunned for a moment, "Then you have to teach me step by step." Otherwise, he might not even understand what methyl is.

Mr. Hu was not very idle during this period. He followed Gao Feng in the laboratory every day to do some work whose principles he had no idea about. He did whatever Gao Feng asked him to do without using his brain at all.

"What do you do every day? You look quite tired." His girlfriend Zhang Yumeng once asked him.

"I don't know." Hu Jiaran replied. Who cares? The boss is very satisfied anyway.

"Just follow these steps. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me." Gao Feng threw out a booklet.

"It's over!" Hu Jiaran's heart sank. He had to look at it himself? Then he had to use his brain, which was his weak point.

"This is my colleague Wang Liang." Gao Feng introduced Professor Lasse West, "He is the best employee in the laboratory."

"In what areas is he so accomplished?" Professor Lasse West was very curious.

"He's quite lucky." Gao Feng said, "When you encounter multiple-choice questions, you can just give them to him, and often lucky things will happen."

Professor Lasse West's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Wang Liang. Luck is so important in scientific research that it even exceeds hard work and ability itself.

Or maybe good luck is a very powerful ability.

Wang Liang always felt that the other person looked at him strangely. Considering that this person came from a country with many gays, he suddenly felt a little scared: Could it be that this old man has a crush on me?

He heaved a sigh of relief and shuddered when he learned that the other party was just expressing concern for his good fortune.

"I'm not bragging, I can get the transcription for you in a week!"

"This guy is definitely bragging." Assistant Louis whispered, "There is an old saying in China, 'If the top beam is not straight, the bottom beam will be crooked.' He must have learned it from their boss."

"Let's see." Professor Lasse West touched his chin. To be honest, he also felt that one week was a bit exaggerated. According to his experience, even if there were sufficient manpower and material resources, it would take at least one month.

A week?
After arranging everything, Professor Lasse West invited Gao Feng to dinner. After experiencing Chinese cuisine in the past few days, his tongue was almost bitten into his stomach.

"The Chinese have a trick up their sleeve!" Assistant Louis shouted, "The food in Chinatown over there doesn't taste like this!"

This is really unfair to Chinatown. To be precise, the Chinese food there should be called New Chinese food, which is changed to cater to the tastes of foreigners.

"It's all in the wine!" Professor Lasse West picked up the wine glass in a serious manner. He had an in-depth conversation with Gao Feng and was now full of confidence in the latter.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Lasse West got up and went to the bathroom. As he got older, he had to go to the bathroom more frequently. There was nothing he could do about it.

But at the bathroom door, he saw a strange young man.

"How strange is it?" Gao Feng asked curiously.

"He must be sick," Professor Lasse West said with certainty.

"Let's go and take a look. I've written down his room number," said Professor Lasse West.

"Professor, there is an old saying in China that doctors don't knock on doors, they have to be invited." Li Youliang said, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate."

Gao Feng also felt that it was inappropriate. People must be in the restaurant to have a meal, and rashly going to their door and telling them that they are sick might cause unnecessary trouble.

If you put yourself in the other person's shoes, you would probably feel uncomfortable whether the other person is sick or not.

But Professor Lasse West drank a little too much and couldn't be stopped. He insisted on saving the wounded.

Assistant Louis was very embarrassed, "I'm sorry, the professor's brain gets out of control when he drinks."

According to Gao Feng's current strength, forcibly taking Professor Lasse West back would be like holding a chick, but it was obvious that he could not do that.

So everyone could only follow each other forward. Li Youliang stepped forward and knocked on the door, "Come in!" A voice sounded from inside.

He pushed the door open and saw seven or eight people sitting inside, all men with bare chests. Seeing that the people who came in were not waiters, they looked at them with inquiring eyes.

"Sorry to bother you." Li Youliang didn't know how to explain, "I have a friend who said that someone here may not be feeling well..."

"That's him!" Professor Lasse West squeezed in from the door and pointed at a young man.

Gao Feng had already noticed the young man sitting at the door. He had a shaved head and the abnormal bulge in his abdomen formed a sharp contrast with his thin limbs.

Professor Lasse West is right, he is definitely sick.

"Who are you?" The young man stood up, looking a little confused.

Gao Feng now discovered another detail. The other person was wearing a pair of large-sized sandals, but his feet were so swollen that he could barely fit them into them.

"This is Professor Lasse West from Cornell University Medical School." Li Youliang said, "He just met you at the bathroom door and noticed that there seemed to be some problems with your body."

The young man's face changed when he heard this, "Sorry, we still have some things to deal with here."

"Your problem should be very serious." Professor Lasse West said loudly, "We should be able to help you."

After he said that, he wanted to go inside, which made the bald young man very unhappy, and he started to push him.

"You have Castleman's disease, right?" Gao Feng said.

The young man with an angry face was stunned for a moment, like the Seventh Fairy who was cast under a spell of immobilization, "How did you know?!" He looked extremely shocked.

It took me several months of going to the world's top medical centers to get the diagnosis, but the person in front of me recognized it at just one glance!

The young man is called Geng Feiyu, a second-generation rich man who recently returned from the United States.

Due to his extremely poor academic performance, his parents sent him to study in Australia after graduating from high school. Although it was called studying abroad, it was actually just a way of gilding his reputation.

He spent a lot of money to enter a university in Australia that is jointly run with a university in China. What is very interesting is that the diploma of this university is not recognized in Australia, but can be certified in China.

Geng Feiyu happily made it to his junior year. His daily life consisted of going to bars, playing with cars, and sleeping with women, which was quite fulfilling.

However, starting from May last year, Geng Feiyu began to wake up frequently at night, sweating all over, and also had abdominal pain, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and strange red lumps on his skin.

At first he thought he had a sexually transmitted disease and was very panicked. Later he went for a checkup and the results were all negative.

"It must be caused by staying up late." He thought, "I have been hurt by alcohol and sex, and I am so haggard!" He decided to have a more regular life in the future and take a break from going to bars and playing with cars.

One week passed quickly, and Geng Feiyu's symptoms did not improve at all, and even worsened. Sometimes he even felt that he would not live long.

His parents asked him to go to the hospital immediately, and the doctor who saw him was shocked to find that the young man's liver and kidneys were failing. Because his immune system was out of control and his condition was serious, he was immediately admitted to the hospital.

Within two weeks, doctors removed more than 20 kilograms of ascites from his abdominal cavity. At the same time, retinal hemorrhage caused him to become blind in his left eye for a time.

When Geng Feiyu's parents rushed to the hospital, he had already been sent to the ICU. According to the doctor, their son was sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious, and his life was in critical condition.

But the most worrying thing is that no one knows what disease he has.

Although Geng Feiyu's father was worried, he was able to remain calm. His greatest confidence came from the fact that his family was rich.

"If we can't find the cause, then keep investigating!" He firmly believes that as long as the money is spent properly, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

Money is useful everywhere, and soon a series of targeted inspections were launched.

CT scans showed that Geng Feiyu had swollen lymph nodes all over his body, which experts believed was a sign of lymphoma.

Other doctors said it could be a severe case of systemic lupus erythematosus or mononucleosis. But no matter what tests were conducted, these top medical experts in the world could not come to a final conclusion.

After treatment with large doses of glucocorticoids, Geng Feiyu's condition temporarily improved, and he asked the doctor what disease he had.

"I do not know. We have not figured it out yet." The doctor in charge said to him, "I hope you will have good luck."

"I do not quite understand what you mean."

"It could come back," the doctor said. "You need to keep an eye on your body."

Apparently Geng Feiyu did not have particularly good luck. Just one month after being discharged from the hospital, he was sent to the hospital again.

This time, part of his lymph node specimens were sent to the famous Mayo Clinic, and this time, the doctors finally made a clear diagnosis - Castleman disease.

"It's worthy of being the best hospital in the world! I want to donate money to you!" Geng Feiyu's father was very pleased that his son's condition was finally clarified. He almost thought he was going home for a feast.

Castleman's disease, also known as giant lymphadenopathy or angiofollicular lymphadenopathy, is an extremely rare lymphoproliferative disorder.

Geng Feiyu suffers from the most dangerous subtype of the disease: idiopathic multicentric Castleman's disease - only 1/8 of patients survive more than 2 years, and the vast majority die from multi-system organ failure.

"What do you mean?!" Geng Feiyu's father looked incredulous.

"There is no good solution at the moment," the doctor at the Mayo Clinic told him. "The patient's life span may be less than a year. I suggest that the family spend more time with him in his final days."

"Fuck your motherfucker!"

"No wonder it's called a clinic! It's just not presentable!" Geng Feiyu's father cursed.

For this, he was arrested after being hit with two batons by the police outside the door. He was eventually released after paying a large amount of bail.

Geng Feiyu is so young, his family certainly doesn’t want to give up on him. They went to many hospitals and almost checked in at all the top hospitals abroad.

But the results were very disappointing. Many doctors either had never heard of this disease or frowned and suggested going home and waiting to die.

Geng Feiyu also wanted to survive, so he searched for all kinds of literature and clinical trial information on the Internet, and even personally updated the entries about Castleman disease on professional medical websites.
