Chapter 196: The Healer's Benevolence
Bill Jones, currently the director of MD Anderson Cancer Center, has participated in the development of a number of official life science experimental projects in the United States, and is also the de facto leader of many projects at MD Anderson Cancer Center, where he has the absolute right to speak.
There was silence at the meeting.
After all, we are faced with one of the most classic rebuttals of medical experimentation - experimentation and ethics.
If you want to experiment, then you must sacrifice Dyson, and if you don't want to sacrifice Dyson, you can't experiment.
Of course, the laboratory can also take experiments such as liver venous blood drawing to explore the inhibition of gene expression therapy of Pangu Technology step by step.
But everyone can't wait for this moment, and being able to immediately take out the medicine connected to the veins of the liver and solve the mystery is what everyone thinks.
Bill Jones spoke, saying, "We completed the experiment according to the agreement we had signed with the volunteers. ”
This is the art of speaking, Bill Jones did not directly say that Dyson was dissected, but said that the experimental task was completed according to the protocol.
In fact, one of the two sides of the agreement states that the volunteers will undergo all medical experiments in cancer treatment.
John stopped arguing and said, "I see." ”
That afternoon, Dyson entered the operating room and was operated on by John.
Dyson smiled bitterly and said, "Are you going to take out the medicine inside?"
John did not speak, but asked the surgical assistant to follow the procedure to administer the anesthetic.
Dyson was a little appointed, lying on the bed and said: "Actually, during this time, I was wondering if my body was really going to recover. ”
Dyson watched the anesthetic enter his body little by little and said: "During this time, I felt more relaxed than ever, and even doubted whether my cancer was really cured." ”
"It should be really good, right?" Dyson looked at John, who was silent on the side, and asked with some expectation: "Professor John, Xia Guo Pangu Technology's inhibitory gene expression therapy should really be effective, right?"
John's eyes fluctuated, and he said, "Dyson, you will continue to receive targeted drug treatment from the center, and you will recover." ”
Dyson was not stupid, and said: "That's effective, Pangu Technology is really a great company, and it can be regarded as changing the history of human medicine." ”
The anesthetic had already entered Dyson's body, and John made another cut on the wound that had just healed, and he would carefully find out the medicine transplanted by the attending doctor of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangda.
An hour later, the target point was finally found.
John dropped and removed a few millimeters of artificial biomimetic particles that resembled human lymphoid tissue from the veins of Dyson's upper liver.
Ignoring the fact that Dyson's wound was still bleeding and the incision had not healed, John handed over the operation to his assistant and went to the laboratory at the Anderson Cancer Treatment Center.
The flesh-colored artificial biomimetic is cut open, and inside is a gelatinous substance, which will act very slowly on liver cells under the drive of blood, changing the action point and movement position of the base on the genome to the negative charge, thereby inhibiting the expression of liver cancer genes. The principle of action is similar in tumor cells that have already occurred.
Although John had read the papers of Pangu Technology, he did not understand the specific effects of drugs.
He placed a portion of the removed gel in a cultured liver malignancy for twenty-four hours of uninterrupted observation. Unbeknownst to John, the rest of the medicine was already working in the air.
After a week of observation, the tumor cells actually died!
Tumors can proliferate indefinitely according to the specificity of tumor cells in a medium with a large number of tissues, that is, the old malignant tumor cells have not died, and the new malignant tumor cells have multiplied.
Pangu Technology's drug did inhibit the expression of malignant tumor genes, and in the comparative experiment, the targeted drug was ineffective against malignant tumors in the group treated with Squibb's nivolumab targeted drug. The reason for the ineffectiveness is that the medium is not the cellular tissue in the human body, and there are no antibodies that are constantly produced. The basic function of Squibb's targeted drugs is to make the human body's own antibodies attack only cancer cells.
In this way, John already knew that Pangea's drugs were fundamentally different from Squibb's.
"The Western media are lying!" John was shocked.
"Pangu Technology has made great achievements!"
John then convened the team to adopt a more systematic approach, and it took three days to determine that Pangea's drug was indeed inhibiting gene expression in cancer.
When the experimental group was ready to continue the experiment, it was found that the drug had failed.
"Damn!" John scolded.
At this time, the assistant walked over quickly and said to John: "Dyson, I just had a sudden myocardial infarction and died. ”
John's body trembled visibly.
Although Dyson is only a volunteer of the experiment, from the perspective of medical experiments, it is not much different from the cats and dogs that do the experiment.
But in the long-term experimental relationship, the two are more like friends. Dyson, who lived in the lower echelons of the United States, had a lot of simple thoughts, which is lacking in today's society, and what John admires about Dyson.
Now, this experimental partner who has been with him for five years has actually gone!
John had expected such an outcome, but he did not expect it to come so quickly.
Although the assistant did not make it clear, John knew that Dyson's death was related to another operation and the removal of medicine.
"This is a letter from Dyson. The assistant handed it to John and said, "What else is a subject writing to?" ”
"Thank you!" John returned to his office with the letter.
After closing the office door, John opened the envelope.
"Hello John, I expected this day in my life and did not expect it to come this way.
I've had liver cancer for so many years, and if it weren't for Anderson, my life would have ended a few years ago, thank you for your treatment, even though we reached a treatment agreement on an 'equal' basis...... After going to Xia Guo for treatment, I thought that my life would usher in a new beginning, but I didn't expect it to end like this......
John, no matter what the results of your experiments will be, as a patient, I really feel that my body is getting better, and it's a feeling of healing.
John, if the results of your experiments are that Pangu Technology's plan is effective, I hope you can convince Anderson Treatment Center and the relevant departments of the United States to cooperate with Pangu Technology to introduce this technology to serve more patients in the United States.
Cancer patients all over the world, regardless of nationality or age, suffer the same. I really hope that the healer is benevolent. Your old buddy, Dyson. ”
