Chapter 817: Brother Luo's Clinic
Tang Shun plans to open 10 incubators at the same time, and the experimental scale of 10 incubators requires about 100 million yuan in scientific research funds, which is already an astronomical amount for a medical subject.
However, Yang Ping felt that Tang Shun was too conservative, 10 incubators were definitely not enough, and the follow-up must be added, and it was better to be in place at one time than to add them in the middle of the middle, so Yang Ping suggested that Tang Shun open 100 incubators at the same time.
According to the current success probability, 100 incubators can only succeed in dozens of them, and these dozens need to take a specimen for slice observation at each stage, so the number of specimens consumed is also very large.
But 100 incubators, scientific research funds need 1 billion, Professor Yang is confident.
Since Professor Yang is so supportive, Tang Shun is no longer stingy, he immediately expanded the scale of the experiment, and opened 100 incubators at the same time, the stem cell laboratory site that currently occupies one floor is definitely not enough, in order to place so many incubators, the stem cell laboratory has added another floor.
Not to mention adding one floor, even if one building is added, in Sanbo Hospital, it is a matter of Yang Ping's words.
As for the funding problem, it is not a problem at all, Yang Ping's special scientific research fund, the donation of the European Duke Fund alone is one billion euros, although the money is received in installments, but there are hundreds of millions of euros that have been received, not to mention that there is a consortium standing behind it-—— Anning Group.
Even without these donations, it is not difficult to come up with more than 100 million yuan with the current financial resources of Ruixing Group.
According to Yang Ping's request, Tang Shun spread out the entire experiment.
The way in which cells divide is exponential division is very fast. Soon, the stem cells in the incubator took on a visible form, which was small, only the size of a sesame seed.
Of the 100 incubators, 39 have successfully cultivated morphological organ germs, and 61 have only cultivated scattered piles of cells.
Tang Shun took 31 successful specimens, took one specimen for observation in each period, and finally made slices and put them under the microscope for structural analysis.
Moreover, with the help of the digital human technology of the Digital Medicine Laboratory of Nandu Medical University, these specimens were compared and studied, and their structure was clarified.
It can be confirmed that this is not a cluster of scattered cells, but an organ with its own structure and morphology, and the sesame seeds slowly turn into mung beans, mung beans turn into peas, and when the cultivated muscle is the size of a pea, the shape of the muscle is already visible to the naked eye.
"Dr. Tang, you see, they have a full form and a smooth surface, which is completely different from other cell piles." The researchers saw the difference, too.
Tang Shun excitedly stared at the muscle "seedling" in the transparent cabin: "Even if you use the naked eye, you can judge that this is not a scattered pile of cells, but a muscle, but it is still very small and has just begun to sprout." ”
No matter how small, a pile of bricks and a small house made of bricks are still very different in appearance, and even young researchers can recognize them with the naked eye.
When they heard Tang Shun say that this was a muscle, several researchers' eyes widened, they couldn't believe that their laboratory could really cultivate a muscle and artificially cultivate a single organ in vitro, which is something that many top laboratories in the world still dare not imagine, at best, they are cultivating organs in animals for human transplantation by modifying genes and parasitism.
For example, the genetically modified heart is grown in pigs and then transplanted into humans, and several such surgeries have been performed in the United States.
Unfortunately, this method is not yet mature, and the longest survival time for patients after a heart transplant is only a few months.
Tang Shun carefully took out a formed muscle "germ" with tweezers, made slices and put it under the microscope for careful observation.
The structure has become clearer and clearer, and sure enough, this is not a bunch of cells, but a muscle built by cells, although it is small, its structure is exactly the same as that of normal muscles, and it actually cultivates blood vessels and nerves that shuttle between them.
By observation, the muscles cultured alone in this way are similar in structure to those in embryos.
Because this muscle relies on nutrient solutions to provide oxygen and nutrients, its vascular system has not yet been perfused with blood, and is in a non-filled state, so the blood vessel is not an ideal tubular form, but a flat latent lacunar structure, which confirms a law of human science-—— structure and function are adapted, and function in turn affects structure.
After all, this is in vitro culture, all oxygen and nutrients come from the nutrient solution, and when the muscles grow to a certain form, they also need to use a special artificial heart-lung machine to help the muscles establish a set of artificial circulation, which will reserve arteries and vein interfaces of various calibers, and connect with the dynamic and static veins of the muscles through artificial pipes to form an artificial circulation.
Under the influence of artificial circulation, the flattened blood vessels will gain filling tension, and after a period of time, the blood vessels will slowly return to the structure of the tube, and the thickness and elasticity of the blood vessel walls will also tend to normal.
Yang Ping's laboratory plan also mentions this and gives specific guidelines.
Professor Yang's experimental plan actually predicted all the problems related to the experiment and gave solutions, which required strong and rigorous logical thinking skills.
Theoretically, it was beyond the reach of the human brain, but he did it.
Tang Shun was amazed.
According to this calculation, the experimental equipment for muscle cultivation in the future should not be these equipment, and a set of equipment should be specially designed to meet the needs of the experiment.
While Tang Shun was thinking about this problem, Yang Ping called him to go to the office and deliver another A4 paper to Tang Shun.
"This is the drawing of the experimental machine, because we are the first experiment, so we can only use the ready-made machine, the next experiment will need to use these special machines, this is a complete set of equipment drawings, you take a look, and then contact Ruixing company, hand over to their engineers to develop the design."
Tang Shun held this drawing in his hand, feeling heavy in his hand, not a stack of paper, but priceless black technology.
If Professor Yang continues like this, in a few years, he will be able to become the world's top stem cell scientist, surpassing his mentor.
"Professor, anything else?" Tang Shun's trembling hand put the A4 into his briefcase.
Yang Ping thought for a while and said: "I want to start a medical journal, let's think about the name together, our goal is a world-class journal, so the name must also be world-class." I plan to publish the final results of this experiment in my journal. ”
Want to start your own journal? It's still world-class.
Any earth-shattering move is as simple as playing a game here with Professor Yang.
Do you know how hard it is to start a world-class medical journal? Moreover, it is difficult to use Chinese to establish a journal and gain recognition from scholars around the world.
So far, it seems that there is no truly world-class journal in our country.
"Go ahead, this time has been hard, the scale of the experiment is relatively large, the name of the journal must take the time to think about it, remember, this is a world-class journal."
The professor's words are always so confident, there is no doubt that he will be able to do what he has to do.
——
Robert returned to the United States and it took several days for him to get used to it.
Seeing the pennants hanging all over the walls of his clinic, he was very satisfied, and this is what he wanted.
It's just that all the words on the pennants are the same, and even the donor's payment is exactly the same.
Robert looked at the dozens of identical pennants and frowned: "Barrett, are all pennants like this?" ”
Barrett excitedly expressed his work: "Yes, sir, I ask them to customize the pennant according to the template you gave, if I guess correctly, now the shops in Chinatown are all like this, and many clinics nearby also take the initiative to learn from us, after all, our clinic is first-class in the United States, so the layout and decoration style of the clinic has become a reference in the industry, and now, they also follow us to start hanging pennants, and they are all the same, all are this kind of pennants, only this kind of pennant is genuine." ”
Robert touched his red nose, it was really sloppy, he sent the template to Barrett at that time, and ordered him to follow the template, all the words on it were not hidden or modified, and there was no follow-up instructions to Barrett, so Barrett can't be blamed, because he was too busy with his work in China at that time, and there were mistakes in the explanation.
It's definitely too late to change it now, not to mention that this pennant has become a popular element.
The wood is already in the boat, and the mistake will be wrong.
"Barrett, you're doing well." Robert praised himself as a clever assistant.
Barrett was praised by Robert and felt that all the efforts during this time were worth it, considering that he made many trips to Chinatown to find this kind of pennant shop.
When a small advertising agency was finally found willing to take the order, the boss asked them if they were sure that all the pennants were the same, and pointed out the small print next to it, and Barrett pretended to be very expert - sure, of course, not a word.
The other party offered a flag of $500 a piece, claiming that the materials must be imported from China, so the price should not be too low, and Barrett forced the price to $400 a piece, saving the clinic a lot of money.
Now that the boss has finally returned, the agents of several sports stars have contacted the clinic in the hope of scheduling surgeries, NBA stars, boxers, Canadian skiers, and too many to count anyway.
The boss has been staying in China, Barrett is dead, and now that the boss is back, all the problems have been solved.
Barrett served Robert coffee, Robert waved his hand, took out a can of West Lake Longjing from the drawer, and said mysteriously: "Let's drink this in the future, come, I will teach you how to make tea." ”
Robert taught Barrett how to make tea, and then taught him about the culture of tea.
"Also, sir, our enthusiasm for learning Chinese in the whole clinic is very high, and the task of popularizing Chinese has also been completed very well, our work clothes, hand washing clothes, nurse uniforms, wherever there is a need for words, we use English and Chinese bilingual, especially our work clothes, all of which have been embroidered with Chinese characters - Brother Luo Clinic, according to your instructions, I have applied for trademark registration of Brother Luo Clinic, and it has been approved." Barrett reports on recent progress.
Robert gave a thumbs up: "Very nice!"
Barrett became more and more energetic:
"Do we need to change our signboard?"
Robert didn't think twice: "Of course, the top is written in Chinese with Brother Luo's clinic, and the original name is written in English below." ”
"Okay, I went to Chinatown to find someone to write a signboard, for the sake of our clinic, I was open, I am now a regular visitor to Chinatown, there is an acupuncturist there, it is said that he can write with a brush, he writes very well, I left his phone number."
"No, I'll write it myself."
"Boss, do you know how to write with a brush?"
"I'll give it a try, I've seen other people write in China, it shouldn't be difficult, I wanted to learn it, but I didn't have time."
"Boss, will our patients recognize the Chinese characters on the signboards? Will it affect patients' perception of our clinic? ”
"If you don't know these characters, you won't have to see me Robert for treatment."
"Boss—"
"Don't call me boss in the future, don't call me Mr. Robert, tell everyone, call me Brother Luo in the future, you know? Brother Luo! ”
"Okay, Brother Luo!"
"Brother Barrett, you are such a clever fellow, and I am very satisfied with your work during this time I have been out."
"Sir-—— No, Brother Luo, I will continue to work hard."
"Barrett! Don't you think I'm a genius, Brother Luo's clinic, this is not a name that ordinary people can think of, in the whole United States, this must be the ceiling of clinic naming, if anyone wants to infringe, I am not done with him. ”
"Look, Brother Luo, this is the statistics of learning Chinese recently, they are waiting for you to come back for the exam, and then give bonuses according to the number of words, this is Thor, this bastard, he actually mastered more than a thousand Chinese characters in a short time, according to your reward rules, you have to give him 100,000 US dollars, enough to change cars, and Jenny, she also mastered 900 Chinese characters, and this is last month's number." Barrett really feels sorry for his boss's money.
Robert didn't care about the money at all: "Find a time to take a formal exam, and give a bonus according to the Chinese characters on the test paper, a hundred dollars, a lot of points." ”
"Brinton of TIRR Hermann Memorial Hospital threatened to oust you this time, saying that you are just a glorious example of your fathers, who are far above us in terms of accomplishments, who have accumulated a lot of experience in knee and shoulder injuries, and have created many advanced methods."
Barrett reports on some recent news in the industry.
The North American Sports Medicine Academic Conference is about to be held, and this meeting is also the time of the general election, Robert is the current president, but Brinton of TIRR Herman Memorial Hospital has always been Robert's old enemy, this person has achieved a lot of achievements in sports medicine, especially in recent years, with a lot of achievements, threatening to oust Robert from power and reorganize North American sports medicine.
For Barrett's words, Robert just smiled faintly: "Young man, don't be nervous, he doesn't have that ability yet, from tomorrow, I'll tell you the true level of Big Brother Luo." ”
