Because he knew this person, it was the same Hu Xuefeng he met when he was in Puhai, China.

At that time, he was trying to make up for living expenses in the United States, and he had to pawn a set of ancestral Taizu porcelain in his family, but he was bullied by his bully classmates.

In the end, he helped him out of the siege and spent four million to buy the set of Taizu porcelain in his hand.

Later, when he came to New York, he also went to the fruit station and reported to Columbia, and he drove him there.

During that time, as long as I was free, I drove him around Manhattan and New York, the purpose was to let him adapt to life here as soon as possible, and this kid was quite good at it.

It is said that when he was not at home, he often came to the store to volunteer to help when he went to Boston and London.

Later, it was because he seemed to have found some temporary job, so he didn't come often, otherwise Jin Muchen would probably be able to see him once or twice a week in his home.

When Hu Xuefeng brought the coffee over, he was also stunned when he saw him, and the expression on his face was very happy, but when he just wanted to talk to him, Jin Muchen gave him a look and signaled him to talk later.

This kid is much smarter now than when he saw him in China before, and when he saw Jin Muchen's eyes, he closed his mouth, and then went out with a tea tray.

At this time, Scott also started the topic, took out a few PPTs and began to show them the scientific research results of the ADATA laboratory on the whiteboard in front of the conference room.

"Kim, Harvey, I think 3D printing technology, the application of it in the medical field, I don't need to say more. You all know that. Now in this regard, the University of Cincinnati, as well as the University of Miami, they are both leading the way. However, in my lab, the direction of the project is different from theirs. Now we're focusing on human bones and replacing joints......"

Scott began to speak. Jin Muchen also raised his spirit and listened.

He used to study pharmacology, although he didn't specialize in clinical medicine, but he generally understood what Scott said.

Modern medicine, especially in orthopedics, has several problems, one of which is bone replacement.

Nowadays, many people have heard of necrosis of the femoral head, which is the main cause of this disease. On the one hand, there is ischemic femoral head necrosis due to trauma, there is bone necrosis caused by human aging, and there is also necrosis of the femoral head caused by hormone drug abuse.

And the incidence of this condition is increasing year by year around the world, especially in North America. In economically developed regions such as Europe, the rate of concurrent occurrence of this disease is increasing at a rate of 20% every year.

Many people may not understand it very well. This disease is not a disease of wealth, so why is the incidence rate so high in Europeans and Americans?

Of course, this has a lot to do with the eating habits of Europeans and Americans, as we all know, there is a very important variety in the staple food of Europeans and Americans, that is, beef, and even a lot of meat, their intake. They are several times the population of East Asia, and even other parts of the world, or even dozens of times.

A large intake of meat has very important benefits for the development of the human body, but it also has very bad disadvantages.

For example, eating too much meat. It will bring problems such as three highs, obesity, and on the other hand, it is the problem of necrosis of the bones.

Because people like to eat meat, this has also indirectly stimulated the development of animal husbandry in developed countries such as Europe and the United States, and there are few animal husbandry industries that do not use auxin in large quantities.

For example, chickens that are slaughtered in 40 days, or pigs that are slaughtered in 3 months, or beef cattle that are formed in a year, the reason why these animals grow so quickly is that many of them are urged by various hormones.

And people who eat a lot of this meat, of course, also consume all kinds of excessive hormones.

This is also the main reason why we see so many European and American boys and girls are very precocious, and have strong body hair and obvious secondary sexual characteristics.

And it is precisely because of this excessive intake of hormones that this has also led to the frequent occurrence of various strange diseases in Europe and the United States in recent years, and this femoral bone necrosis disease, although it is not a strange disease, but in recent decades, the incidence rate in Europe and the United States has increased significantly.

When Jin Muchen was in school, he had read statistics made by relevant medical institutions, and in 2013, hundreds of thousands of cases were done in North America because of necrosis of the femoral head and the need to replace bones......

This may not sound like a high number, but what is it? You must know that the entire economically developed region of North America, except for Mexico, can only provide for more than 300 million people......

There are hundreds of thousands of people out of more than 300 million people who have to have their bones replaced by surgery every year, and the rate of this disease is still increasing at a rate of 20% every year, what does it mean?

This means a market with huge growth potential!

Most of the femoral head substitutes that need surgery to replace them are titanium alloy products, which have the lowest irritation to human muscle tissue and are non-toxic, so they can be used for a long time.

But after all, this thing is metal, and if this bone is implanted in the body, it may cause inflammation, and people with different physiques will have different rejection reactions to this replacement.

Some people may need to take medication for a long time, and some people may have other strange allergy symptoms because of this, in short, countless people are worried about this implant replacement every year.

And now Scott's research project was created to target this displacement.

Their ultimate goal is to print real human bones through this 3D printer and replace them in the human body.

Once this replacement is replaced into the human body, there is no need to worry about the rejection reaction in the later stage, and there is no need to worry about inflammation and allergies caused by the unsuitability of the metal implant.

After listening to Scott's introduction, Jin Muchen was also interested, and raised a few questions, such as how far their progress has reached now.

And Scott and they also took out a lot of printed finished products and showed them to Jin Muchen, so that he could have a direct understanding.

Even Scott made a live demonstration for him in front of Jin Muchen, and directly printed a small piece of human bone tissue.

Jin Muchen felt very satisfied after reading it, this project seems to be the right one.

You must know that before coming, he also searched on the Internet and had a general understanding of the 3D printing of human bones and joints.

At present, many universities and medical research institutions are doing research in this area, but they are all trapped in the ratio of materials, processing processes, and how to design 3D printing procedures, and the progress is extremely slow.

I didn't expect that now ADATA has already overcome most of the problems, and this project can be seen.

"It's fair to say that we've made a breakthrough in femoral head replacement, and what we're lacking now is funding to start clinical trials. I've been in contact with several hospitals in California and they're willing to use our finished product for experiments, but only if we need a start-up fund. ”

When Scott said this, he looked at Jin Muchen's eyes with some expectation.

Jin Muchen didn't say much, but looked at Scott and nodded: "What about your next project?" And what are the prospects for the future? ”

"We are already preparing for the next phase of the research project, and this project, we are ready to tackle the knee replacement......"

Hearing Scott say this, Jin Muchen's eyes lit up suddenly, this guy is really shrewd enough, it seems that he is not only a scientific research talent, but also has a good market vision!

It is important to know that knee replacements can be said to be the most used human bone replacements in the world at present.

Millions of knee replacement surgeries are performed worldwide each year, and the proportion is also increasing rapidly.

Moreover, such surgeries are also more common in developed countries such as Europe, the United States, and Japan, and in recent years, the number of such surgeries in China has been increasing year by year.

Rheumatoid arthritis, and degenerative joint disease in old age, are the main reasons for the increase in this type of surgery.

In Europe and the United States, this kind of disease, in Jin Muchen's view, is a process that almost every elderly person must go through, those who have money will have surgery, and those who have no money can only use wheelchairs or crutches......

The reason why this is the case, of course, is related to the dressing habits of people here, everyone can often see those young girls in Europe and the United States on TV, wearing a short skirt on the street in winter, and even in the weather within 10 degrees above zero, they also show two long @ legs outside, on the one hand, because they are often high-calorie food, they are really not afraid of cold, and on the other hand, because they love beauty.

But if you think Chinese if you learn from them, you're going to be funny......

Don't look at the joy of jumping when you are young, you have to pull up the list when you are old.

In Europe and the United States, geriatric degenerative joint disease, as well as rheumatoid arthritis, but in the hardest hit areas, almost everyone after the age of 50 will have such a disease.

So in Jin Muchen's view, this is also a promising market.

Hearing this, Jin Muchen already felt that this Scott's concept had moved him, and just for their scientific research direction, his research institute was very worthy of investment.

In the medical market, the mainstream knee replacement is also titanium alloy products, and many patients will not only not relieve the pain after implanting this replacement, but will have repeated knee inflammation due to rejection, and need to take a lot of medicine.

If Scott's research succeeds, the future is too promising. (To be continued......)
