Chapter 831: Opening up a new era (Second update, please subscribe)

Many times, only that 1% flash of inspiration can change the world.

Human progress is all based on these inspirations.

As the saying goes, the best way to solve a problem is to face it. The more problems you face, the more problems you can solve, and the more inspiration you will naturally have.

What is needed after an occasional flash of inspiration?
Of course it’s sweat.

Under the light of the shadowless lamp, a special operation is being carried out in an intense and orderly manner. On the operating table is not a human, but a deeply anesthetized gorilla. Zhang Wenguang, wearing a surgical gown, a mask and gloves, has sweat on his forehead, but his hands are extremely skilled.

Soon, he took out a kidney from the gorilla's body. Under the light, it looked extremely vivid, as if it still had the warmth of life.

"Record, start organ transplant."

When Zhang Wenguang was speaking, the assistants cooperated tacitly, and they were very careful in every step, for fear of causing the slightest harm to the experimental subjects.

As the operation progressed, the atmosphere became increasingly tense, and beads of sweat began to form on their foreheads.

"Wipe your sweat."

The nurse quickly wiped the sweat off his face. While the nurse was wiping the sweat off his face, Zhang Wenguang did not stop what he was doing. Instead, he focused more on the operation.

Finally, the operation was over, and the kidney of one gorilla was successfully transplanted into another gorilla. Zhang Wenguang breathed a sigh of relief, but his face did not show much joy, because the success of the operation was only the first step, and the real challenge was still to come.

"Doctor, was it successful?"

In response to his colleagues' questions, Zhang Wenguang shook his head and said.

“Rejection reaction, only when you overcome it, can you be truly successful!”

Although medical scientists performed a series of kidney transplants on animals in 1912, the test subjects could only survive for a few days or months due to rejection reactions.

A few years ago, Zhang Wenguang, who was still a graduate student, turned his research direction to organ transplantation. It was from that time that he conducted dozens of animal experiments. In order to overcome the rejection reaction, he also tested a large number of drugs, trying to use drugs to suppress the rejection reaction, but the results have not been ideal.

Although the results are not ideal, through a large number of experiments, we have basically figured out the principle of rejection reaction, which is also a significant progress.

"I know, Doctor. I mean, is there any chance for the drug being tested this time?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Wenguang said.

"Last year, the US FDA approved mercaptopurine for the treatment of childhood leukemia. The drug is very effective. The life expectancy of children with leukemia treated is about 3 months, but after taking mercaptopurine treatment, the median survival time increases to 12 months. The lymphocytes of leukemia are similar to the formation of lymphocytes during the inflammatory response, so I think taking it should be able to suppress the rejection reaction."

A few months ago, after reading the paper on the use of mercaptopurine in the treatment of childhood leukemia, Zhang Wenguang studied its mechanism of action and eventually came to the conclusion that this new drug, which was just approved for use last year, is likely to bring about earth-shaking changes in organ transplantation.

Of course, this is just an academic speculation, and it still needs to be proven by experiments in the end.

Zhang Wenguang said as he looked at the gorilla being pushed out by the nurse.

"The rest will be left to time."

After saying that, he looked at the time.

June 24th, 3:11 in the morning.

Experimental record: The operation is completed, and the postoperative observation begins...

Although the operation was over that day, Zhang Wenguang did not leave the hospital. Instead, he continued to observe the animals that had not yet awakened. In the following days, he would go into the laboratory every day to visit the two test subjects.

The test subject is slowly recovering.

One day, two days, three days...

Normally, a kidney allograft stops functioning after 4-8 days, but after taking mercaptopurine every day, not only did the orangutan that received the kidney transplant survive, but even the orangutan with only one kidney left was still alive and well.

After a full hundred days, the two gorillas had fully recovered and had even begun to move around outdoors like normal gorillas.

Facing the two fully recovered gorillas, Zhang Wenguang had a happy look on his face all day. "It's time to prepare the paper."

This paper will surely shock the whole world and bring unprecedented shock to the global medical community.

……

As usual, Sun Zhiyu came to the hospital again. As soon as he got out of the elevator, a nurse spoke to him.

"Mr. Sun, you're finally here. Your brother went crazy again, smashing things everywhere. We had a hard time tying him up on the bed."

"I'm so sorry to trouble you again."

Sun Zhiyu quickly apologized.

"Go and see him. Maybe he'll be in a better mood."

Nodding, Sun Zhiyu looked a little heavy. Last year, his brother Sun Zhihe suddenly collapsed without any signs while working in the company. When he came to the hospital, he found that his kidneys had suddenly failed. The doctor told him that there was no treatment for kidney failure and he only had about 2 years left.

Sun Zhiyu could not accept the sudden bad news at all. After all, he had told his mother that he would bring Zhihe home in the future.

But Zhihe's condition deteriorated faster than expected, and by June of the following year, he could barely walk. His condition was already very serious. Uremia affected his brain, making him very aggressive. He kept cursing the medical staff, and kept trying to remove all the catheters in his body. He even had violent tremors and cramps.

Am I really going to lose my brother?

Finally they arrived at the ward, which was in a mess and had not yet been cleaned up. As soon as they entered the ward, before Sun Zhiyu could say anything, Sun Zhihe, who was tied to the bed, stared at him with a ferocious face and red eyes and shouted.

"Get out, get out!"

Looking at his younger brother's irritable look, Sun Zhiyu couldn't believe that this was the third brother who always smiled when he spoke.

"Zhihe, it's me, I'm your elder brother, I'm the elder brother!"

"Go away, go away now..."

Sun Zhihe didn't seem to recognize him. Seeing his brother's appearance, Sun Zhiyu was extremely heartbroken. After leaving the ward, he went to see the attending physician and told the doctor that he was willing to do everything in his power to help his brother:
"Doctor, if it would help, I would like to give him one of my kidneys. I know, we have two kidneys."

The doctor told Sun Zhiyu.

"Mr. Sun, although your idea is good, organ transplantation is not feasible because accepting organs from others will cause the body to reject them. In simple terms, the body's immune system cannot recognize the transplanted organ, so it regards it as a foreign body and destroys it."

But the doctor suddenly stopped because he remembered something he had heard from another classmate.

So he asked.

"Are you sure, Mr. Sun?"

"I'm sure, Doctor Lin. When I left Tangshan, I told my mother that I would definitely bring Zhihe home in the future. I beg you, Doctor, to do whatever it takes to save him."

For Sun Zhiyu, as long as his brothers are still alive, he still has his relatives on this land. But if his brothers die, he will be the only one left on this land.

In the future, when he returns to Tangshan one day, how will he explain all this to his mother?

"Doctor, give him mine. We are brothers. Please, save him! He is the only relative in Nanyang. If he is gone... I will be the only one left. How will I explain to my mother when the time comes?"

The doctor was also moved by Sun Zhiyu's earnest plea.

"Well, let me think about it..."

The doctor thought for a moment and said.

"I can help you get in touch with a doctor! He might be able to help you."
