Chapter 4: Ward Rounds
This day is the day of Ji Rong's routine ward rounds every month, although the hospital has no requirements for his work, he will still take one day a month to make ward rounds as an exchange day.
Zhang Yue put the patient's information on his desk early in the morning, he quickly flipped through it, and arrived at the ward on time at ten o'clock, where the attending physician and the resident were already waiting. Seeing him appear, they greeted one after another: "Professor Ji." β
"Let's go." Ji Rong nodded and took the lead in entering the ward.
There was a woman in her thirties lying on the bed in the ward, and at this time she saw a group of doctors come in and showed a smile: "Doctor." β
"How are you feeling today?" Ji Rong stepped forward and asked.
"My head still hurts, but it's much better than the day before yesterday."
Wang Kui, the attending physician, stepped forward and introduced: "The patient was admitted to the hospital 3 days ago due to headache and vomiting, and was diagnosed with viral encephalitis. The patient was mainly lymphocytes, suggesting intracellular pathogen infection, and was treated with antipyretic, maintaining water and electrolyte balance, reducing intracranial pressure, and antiviral. β
Ji Rong nodded and said to the patient: "Don't worry, you can be discharged from the hospital in two weeks, pay attention to rest more during this period, exercise more after discharge, and improve your anti-virus ability." β
The patient was overjoyed: "Thank you, doctor." β
The group left the room and entered the second room.
The patient did not lie on the hospital bed, but sat leisurely on the sofa, watching the three-dimensional holographic TV, and the 360-degree true image was cast in the void, which made Ji Rong, who pushed the door in, slightly stunned. And everyone else is accustomed to expressions.
Although he has lived here for ten years, he spends almost all of his time at work, and rarely has time to enjoy this high-tech era.
When the patient saw the doctor's ward round, he quickly turned off the TV, stood up and said with a smile: "Professor Ji, is it a routine ward round today?" β
He's been in the hospital for months, he's been through many rounds, and the doctors know him about the same.
Ji Rong nodded, looking at his finger, the little finger that was not there had already been regenerated, and there was still a short section of fingertips to complete the entire regeneration process.
The patient hurriedly raised his finger and said excitedly: "It's growing so fast, you can be discharged from the hospital in a few days, right?" β
Although he is an old patient, Wang Kui still dutifully reported: "The patient broke his little finger three years ago and did not seek medical treatment until the clinical application of limb regeneration in our hospital, and the patient sought medical treatment 2 months ago with guΓ² demethylase
Decoding the developmental genes to promote cell regeneration in the area, the amputated limb is currently regenerating well, and the hospital can be discharged in a week. β
When it comes to cutting-edge medical technology, some doctors immediately seized the opportunity to ask: "The liver is the only organ in the human body that can be regenerated, does this technology mean that all organs in the human body can be regenerated?" β
Ji Rong's face was still as detached as ever, and he answered questions quickly and accurately: "At present, only limb regeneration is used in clinical practice, but organ regeneration has been successfully realized in practice, which can be preliminarily used to solve kidney problems, liver failure, heart defects and other diseases. It will take at least three to four years for a complete organ to regenerate in the patient's body. β
"Professor Ji, I have a question for you." A pleasant female voice sounded, and everyone's eyes turned to the questioner.
Yuan Yuan walked out of the crowd with a charming smile on her face, staring at Ji Rong with undisguised admiration: "Professor Ji, then what should be the next research direction of regenerative medicine?" β
Ji Rong only glanced over, and his tone was indifferent, but his medical achievements could make almost everyone ignore his alienation, and he flocked to him, he said lightly: "The principle of regeneration is that once an organ is damaged, the cells that are not fully developed in the corresponding part will automatically transform into complete cells until they develop into new organs. Amphibians are born with regenerative genes, and humans also have regenerative genes hidden in their bodies, but they no longer function. But humans are eventually capable of regeneration. Because human cells are already inherently capable of developing new limb parts. This is confirmed by the development of cells in the human body during fetal development. In addition, the DNA in the cell also has a code that indicates the growth of new organs. Therefore, there are two major research directions in regeneration research. One is to restart human regeneration genes. GuΓ² alters the genes of sperm, eggs, or embryos to give humans the ability to regenerate throughout their lives. Another direction of researchβ" At this point, he paused, and some kind of complicated emotion flashed, and then confided, "It is memory regeneration." β
Everyone present was shocked by his words, but they all quickly reacted, and all kinds of questions rushed to the front.
"Professor Ji, have you already started to study the two directions you just expounded?"
"Professor Ji, I very much agree with the two research directions you just mentioned, can I join your research team?"
"Professor Ji, can you explain more carefully about memory regeneration?"
β¦β¦
Ji Rong waved his hand: "Let's continue to make rounds, academic issues are not something that can be explained clearly in a few words, and we will discuss it later." After speaking, he nodded to the patient and took the lead out of the ward.
Everyone was still a little unsatisfied, and they all followed his pace, but Yuan Yuan, who was the questioner of the question just now, was squeezed to the end. But her face was smiling, but her eyes followed the resolute and arrogant back.
The rounds were over, and it was nearly twelve o'clock. After lunch, Ji Rong went to the scientific research department again accompanied by Zhang Yue, as an honorary professor of the scientific research department, Ji Rong actually did not have to bear any responsibility. But he still takes some time out every month to do some academic exchanges with the staff of the scientific research department.
