Four p.m.
Zhao Heng came to Laboratory No. [-] of the School of Life Sciences, Yanjing University.
In the office, Professor Li Hongwei was in a good mood when he saw Zhao Heng coming.
"Come, Xiao Zhao, drink tea."
Li Hongwei personally poured Zhao Heng a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
"Professor, how is the progress of the experiment?"
Zhao Heng nodded, took a sip from his teacup, and asked Li Hongwei.
"With your joining, the experiment has gone much smoother recently, Xiao Zhao, this is all because of your important role."
Li Hongwei said very appreciatively.
His recent regret is that Zhao Heng cannot join his laboratory full-time. In this case, the progress of many of his experiments can be greatly improved.
An assistant like Zhao Heng can be said to be something that every scientist can meet but can't ask for, and it can't be found casually.
The most important thing is that if you have Zhao Heng's ability and quality, as well as knowledge, you will not be an assistant under normal circumstances.
"Professor, I am here this time to ask for your help."
Zhao Heng nodded and continued.
He knew what kind of person Li Hongwei was, and there was no need to say those polite words. The time of top scientists is very precious, and generally they would not waste time on those useless polite words.
In fact, people like Li Hongwei are quite appetizing to Zhao Heng. Compared with the people in the hospital, such as Gao Jun and the director Liu Shangming, after they took over the position, intentionally or unintentionally, they became more polite.
Like Professor Li Hongwei, although he leads a top-notch laboratory, he is more like a scientist than a leader.
"Well, you said."
Li Hongwei nodded slightly. Today is a rare break time for the laboratory, not the time of appointment, but Zhao Heng came. There must be something. Li Hongwei guessed it as soon as Zhao Heng came.
However, Zhao Heng's frankness and directness made Li Hongwei more appreciative. Today's young people basically present two extremes. Some people are extremely confident and even arrogant, while others are very inferior , the kind of self-abased to the low in the dust.
Li Hongwei doesn't like these two kinds. As a young man, he must have the vigor and self-confidence that a young man should have, but he must not be overly confident or even arrogant.
These two points are well integrated in Zhao Heng, which is part of the reason why Li Hongwei admires Zhao Heng.
"Professor, I treated a patient who was infected with Naegleria fowleri. As you know, clinically, the survival rate of this parasite infection is very low. I am reading the literature At that time, I found out that there was a surviving patient in a foreign country. The attending doctor gave the patient miltefocin because the patient had skin cancer.
"Now the patient's condition is very critical. I think that the nanotube treatment developed by the professor can be used in a rapid drug delivery method. I think it will be used just right."
Zhao Heng said in a very orderly manner that time was urgent, and it was impossible for him to tell the details of the matter bit by bit, so he could only pick out the more important and key parts.
"Little Zhao Ni is talking about the brain-eating amoeba? And now there are more than ten cases of that parasite infected in country H?"
Hearing what Zhao Heng said, Li Hongwei said in surprise.
As a leader in the field of life science research, he has always paid close attention to this kind of news and hot spots in the world of biological science.
For microorganisms, as a top biological scientist, he naturally has research. Although Li Hongwei's research direction is not mainly microorganisms, his understanding of microorganisms exceeds that of ordinary clinicians.
"Professor, do you know about this?"
Zhao Heng was a little surprised. Professor Li Hongwei's news is very well-informed. Although the outbreak of brain-eating amoebas on Jeju Island has been confirmed, it is only known to a small range of people and has not been on the news. knew.
"Well, a friend from the Ministry told me, so, the infected patient in China is currently admitted by you, Xiao Zhao?"
As soon as Li Hongwei heard that Zhao Heng had admitted this patient, he immediately became interested. As a top biological scientist, he was very interested in this amoeba with a very high lethality rate.
Because in the natural world, scientists have such a cognition that the more deadly animals, plants or microorganisms are to a certain extent, they can be enlightened to cure some rare human diseases.
For example, the venom of the venomous cobra is extremely poisonous, but the snake venom enzyme extracted from the snake venom has very good medical value, and it has a unique effect in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Moreover, the snake venom enzymes in nerve snake venom can also extract natural anesthetics, which have few side effects and are particularly good in analgesia. In addition, in recent years, the medical field has also found that snake venom has a good killing and inhibiting effect on cancer cells.
This is a good revelation. The fatality rate of patients infected with Naegleria fowleri is so high, which shows that Naegleria fowleri has a special pathogenic mechanism for the human body. Once this special disease-causing mechanism is thoroughly studied, it may give some inspiration for the treatment of a certain disease.
"Yes."
Zhao Heng nodded.
"I heard from a friend in the Ministry that on our side, the receiving doctor discovered Naegleria fowleri immediately, while in country H, it was only after our diagnosis was made that the infection was discovered there. I did a test in this area, and then confirmed the diagnosis. Xiao Zhao, your clinical diagnosis ability is also extremely strong."
Li Hongwei said with some sighs.
Clinical diagnosis is a very complicated matter. To be able to find out so quickly that the patient is infected with Naegleria fowleri, an extremely rare parasite, the doctor who made the diagnosis, the ability of this diagnosis is not enough. simple.
It can be said that it is precisely because our side discovered and diagnosed it first, that this side has a certain degree of initiative in this matter.
"In fact, the diagnosis of Naegleria fowleri infection is not difficult, but everyone doesn't think about it, especially the doctors in Jeju Island. When the patient got sick in Jeju Island, the doctor there was diagnosed as Acute meningitis, and treat as acute meningitis."
Zhao Heng thought for a while and said.
"I can't say that. Although I don't work clinically, I also know that sometimes the most difficult thing in clinical practice is diagnosis. Some patients have gone to many hospitals, done a lot of examinations, and spent a lot of time and energy. It may not be able to diagnose. Xiao Zhao, you can diagnose the patient so quickly, and you have won an opportunity for the ministry. In international exchanges, this opportunity is very important."
Li Hongwei said seriously.
"Professor, there may be more than 10 infected patients in country H."
Zhao Heng said.
This is easy to calculate. The number of tourists received by Jeju Island is as high as 4 per day during the peak period, and now the tourists who have come back from there have been diagnosed, which means that there is a certain water in Jeju Island that contains Fuchsia. Gría Amoeba.
With such a high number of tourists per day, there must be more than 10 infected patients.
"For this kind of thing, Country H doesn't dare to directly expose it. After all, Jeju Island is a tourist attraction. Once such a thing is exposed, the impact on local tourism will be fatal."
Li Hongwei said with some sighs, this is the difference in the way the two countries deal with the problem. If it were in China, this tourist destination must be shut down immediately. The relevant personnel involved will immediately conduct a comprehensive screening, and then invest a lot of money manpower and material resources to deal with this incident.
But for country H, the way of handling it seems to be different.
At least in this processing action, this speed is not a bit worse than domestic ones.
"Even if it is not exposed, the processing speed is really too slow. I heard that the inspection and diagnosis part has only been carried out there so far. This speed is really too slow."
Zhao Heng said again.
"Xiao Zhao, the situation in this country is different. Not all the country's processing departments are like ours, where the safety of people's lives is the first priority."
Li Hongwei said meaningfully.
"In this way, Xiao Zhao, you want carbon nanotubes to carry the drug miltefucin directly to the lesion. In this way, not only the speed of onset of treatment will be greatly improved, but the effect of treatment will also be enhanced. .”
After a pause, Li Hongwei talked about nanotherapy to Zhao Heng again.
As for the different handling methods of the handling departments of the two countries, this matter cannot be discussed too much even if it is Li Hongwei, not to mention that his status is not ordinary, and it is not suitable for too much discussion of this kind of matter.
"Yes, nanotherapy is the only treatment I can think of that might be effective if this infected patient is to survive."
Zhao Heng nodded and said.
As the saying goes, a good woman cannot cook without rice. Modern medicine has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it has formed an effective medical system including diagnosis and treatment.
The disadvantage is that the treatment of patients is relatively limited by equipment and drugs. For example, if Zhao Heng is not in Dongfang Hospital, or he happens to know Professor Li Hongwei, even if he thinks that such a treatment method may Useful for patients, but there is no such condition.
"It's not too late. You have always had the authority of the laboratory, and you are familiar with the relevant equipment. I still have some urgent matters here. The preparation of nano-therapeutic reagents can only be done by yourself."
Li Hongwei said directly.
Of course, this modern top-notch biological laboratory is fully technologically informatized, so authorization is required to enter, and the management is also fully intelligent.
Li Hongwei's ability to give Zhao Heng this authority can be said to be an incomparable trust in him. This is a heavy trust, because in this laboratory, there are still experimental results worth hundreds of millions.
Only Zhao Heng and Li Hongwei have such trust.
"Thank you Professor."
Zhao Heng thanked Li Hongwei very much.
Since I met Professor Li Hongwei, Li Hongwei has spared no effort in helping him.
For now, the authority of this laboratory is just given to Zhao Heng. You know, there are still research results worth hundreds of millions in this laboratory.
"You're welcome. When the time comes, you can give me a copy of the treatment data. This will be very helpful and practical for the next step of nanotherapy research."
Li Hongwei waved his hand and signaled Zhao Heng that you don't need to thank him. He still needs to use Zhao Heng a lot in the future. The more he got in touch with Zhao Heng, the more he felt that an assistant like Zhao Heng was really rare.
So giving Zhao Heng some convenience now is also in Li Hongwei's consideration.
"There is no problem with the treatment data. If the nanotherapy can be successful this time, it can be regarded as opening up the field of nanotherapy. Moreover, this treatment method can also be used in the treatment of cancer."
Zhao Heng thought for a while and said.
Miltefucin was originally used in the treatment of cancer. If the treatment is successful this time, then nanotherapy can also be used in the treatment of cancer. This kind of treatment has better effect and less damage to the human body. It can be said to be a kind of Very promising treatment modality.
"Yes, the current progress in the research on nanotherapy is very good, what is lacking is clinical application. In this regard, Xiao Zhao, you have a natural advantage."
Li Hongwei said again.
All scientific research, if it cannot be put into practical use, is equivalent to no research. Although this statement is biased, it also shows to a large extent that the purpose of scientific research is for practical use.
Zhao Heng is a clinician, and Li Hongwei is a top professor of biology. Many of the results of his research are intended for clinical application. It can be said that the cooperation between Li Hongwei and Zhao Heng is profound.
"Xiao Zhao, I still have something to do. The preparation of nano reagents can only be done by you."
After a pause, Li Hongwei said.
It's not that apart from him and Zhao Heng, no one can operate professional equipment to prepare nano reagents, but only Zhao Heng is the only person Professor Li Hongwei can fully trust.
Therefore, Li Hongwei only opened the maximum authority of this laboratory to Zhao Heng. It is impossible to open such a high authority to others casually, even the working researchers of Li Hongwei's laboratory.
"Okay, professor, go get busy. If the treatment is effective, I will record the relevant data and send it to the professor's mailbox at that time."
Zhao Heng nodded and said that Professor Li Hongwei's willingness to allow him to prepare nano reagents is already the greatest support for him.
Li Hongwei explained to Zhao Heng some precautions for the preparation of nano reagents, and then left, while Zhao Heng came to the laboratory on his stomach.
After scanning the access control, Zhao Heng, who had permission, naturally entered the core area of the laboratory, which was the experimental room for the preparation of nano-preparations.
Only Li Hongwei could enter this place before.
After all, although carbon nanotubes are used by Professor Li Hongwei for medical treatment and drug delivery, as a very useful carrier, carbon nanotubes can carry more than just drugs.
This is why Professor Li Hongwei is so cautious. If the carbon nanotubes produced by such a high-end technology are used for things other than treatment, it will be an unavoidable disaster.
A [-]-character chapter will be issued later.
