Chapter 677: Ivan
However, Yang Ping immediately denied his own idea.
He was very interested in this case of Lonnefeld, but as a surgeon, he had an unusual sensitivity to safety.
Unfamiliar non-public medical organizations, a surgery on a medical ship on the high seas, can easily fall into the trap of the unknown.
"I'll think about it again!"
Yang Ping's fingers tapped on the table, he had to be cautious.
The skin in vitro expansion technology is nothing more than that they have mastered a certain mature "induction formula", and the "induction formula" of stem cells is Yang Ping's main research topic now, Yang Ping has already seen the doorway, why not use this technology to try his own induction theory.
Theories summarized from experiments are in turn verified by experiments.
The brilliance of Langnafe's new technology is that instead of cultivating stem cells into bulk skin cells, the whole skin is used as an organ for overall expansion, which is a level of advanced induction technology compared to other current stem cell cultivation technologies.
Most other stem cell researchers stop at cultivating countless individual target cells, and then use these cells as "ink" combined with special scaffolds to print the three-dimensional shape of the organ, which is "like a god".
Another idea, some teams use genetic modification technology to cultivate organs in pigs and other animals, after genetic modification, so that it does not reject human organs, and then transplant to humans, for example, the team at the University of Maryland in the United States has successfully transplanted pig hearts to humans, this idea is more operable than 3D printed organs, after all, it is much easier to cultivate organs than to print organs.
It is easier to grow an apple from seeds than to assemble an apple with artificial techniques.
Because of the skin amplification technology, Yang Ping is between the two routes of natural cultivation and 3D printing, and the balance tends to be naturally cultivated.
This is the case with scientific experiments, constantly revising their course in the process of groping.
If we can break through the skin augmentation technology and solve the mysteries, then it is possible to cultivate the liver, kidneys, and heart in vitro using the expansion technology.
For example, the liver, a small piece of liver tissue can induce the whole liver, what an attractive prospect.
It is clear that neither Maninstein nor the other scientists at Langaffe have solved the mystery of this organ-level induction, but have only made some kind of breakthrough in experience, and are able to augment the simplest of skins.
If they do find the secret, Maninstein will not abandon the subject and will continue to use this technology to support research on spinal cord injury repair.
Yang Ping decided to go to the system space laboratory and use the experimental body model to study this problem, and then solve the mystery of skin amplification in vitro.
This is much more difficult than stem cell cultivation of skin cells, because it involves not only the cultivation of cells, but also the spatial construction of cells and the real connection between cells.
Hearing that Yang Ping had changed his mind, August and Robert were obviously disappointed, as far as they knew, the skin in vitro expansion technology was a model of stem cell application in clinical practice, but Professor Yang was indifferent to it.
"Professor?"
Robert is still not giving up, and August is also expecting Yang Ping to change his mind.
They really wanted Yang Ping to participate in this operation, which would not only allow Yang Ping to receive strong support from Lang Nafei, but also allow Yang Ping to expand his contacts in the world's top academic circles.
Yang Ping just waved his hand and did not speak.
Robert and August had no choice but to withdraw from Yang Ping's director's office.
In the doctor's office, an intern was answering the phone: "Dr. Wan, Dr. Wan in charge of consultation in our department? Oh, Dr. Montblanc."
The intern put down the phone and said to the young doctors who were working hard in the office, "Just now the neurology department called and said that the patient consulted by Dr. Wan in our department has completed the X-ray as required, and I hope that Dr. Wan will take the time to help look at the X-ray, who is Dr. Wan?"
This trainee is not new, he is already very familiar with comprehensive surgery, but he has never heard of Dr. Wan.
Doctor Wan?
synthesis
The Department of Surgery includes Dr. Song, Dr. Xu, Dr. Zhang, and Dr. Lu---
It can even be said that there are five doctors.
There is no Dr. Wan, let alone a doctor called Montblanc.
"Is there a mistake? It's the orthopedic doctor, right?"
Someone asked suspiciously.
Another trainee, who had just been transferred from orthopaedics, said, "There is no doctor named Montblanc over there."
"That's right! That's clear, Dr. Montblanc!"
The person answering the phone was so sure that it was impossible to mishear.
Montblanc doctors?
At this time, Zhang Lin came in and looked for his pen everywhere: "Do you see my fountain pen? There's an infusion patch on it, and there's a sign on it."
This is the Montblanc that August brought from Germany, and if you don't see it, you're gone.
At this time, the phone rang again, and after the intern answered the phone, he looked at Zhang Lin in confusion and said, "Teacher Zhang, a female doctor in the neurology department said that Dr. Montblanc's pen fell in their office, and remember to take it when you wait for the consultation."
Lao Tzu's famous Zhang Lin, the director of intelligence of Sanbo Hospital, when did he change his name to Montblanc?
The doctors in the office instantly understood what was going on, and some couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Zhang Lin usually goes out for consultation, after writing the consultation form and signing the money, it is the dragon flying and phoenix dance, if you are not familiar, you can't recognize what the name is, it is estimated that after the consultation, the Montblanc fountain pen fell there, and the smart female neurologist recognized Dr. Montblanc by virtue of the infusion sticker on the pen.
---
Auckland, New Zealand, in a villa.
The assistant, dressed in a white lab coat, carefully removed a piece of skin from the incubator, which was amplified by 1 square centimeter of skin, which was about two hundred square centimeters, and the assistant placed the skin on a tray and sent it to Professor Ivan.
Professor Ivan was in his fifties, with deep eyes, a thick beard around his cheeks, chin and lips, and had apparently not shaved for a few days, and if he continued like this, he would have grown a typical Russian beard.
Professor Ivan emigrated to New Zealand from Russia many years ago and has been living in the island nation ever since, except for out-of-home surgery.
With Professor Ivan's financial resources and professional ability, he can move to almost any country in the world that accepts immigrants, and after years of fieldwork and comparison, he still chose New Zealand.
America is too noisy, he likes to be quiet.
Canada is too cold for him to endure the depressive rainy season even in Vancouver, which has a mild climate.
Europe, he is tired of it, and all kinds of squabbles are difficult to reassure.
drought and water scarcity in Australia; Singapore, very nice, but too small.
Only this isolated island nation--- New Zealand, attracted Professor Ivan, and after many expeditions, he decided to move to this lonely island country.
On the outskirts of Auckland, he bought a plot of land and built a villa.
In addition to the building where he lived, this villa also had his laboratory and even his doomsday bunker.
This so-called Doomsday Bunker was purely to satisfy his extreme quest for safety, but it is now used as a wine cellar.
The tray was placed firmly on Professor Ivan's desk, Professor Ivan nodded slightly, his gloved fingers gently touched the skin, and took advantage of the natural light outside the window to carefully observe the skin: "It's still a lot worse, it is used to replace scars in other parts, the quality of this skin is completely qualified, but if it is used for facial surgery, it still does not meet the requirements."
"Professor Maninstein did not make progress on this topic for a long time, and then focused on the study of spinal cord injury, and no longer paid attention to this topic, and Langafe took over this topic, even if it was developed to the extreme, it also encountered a ceiling, and made a huge breakthrough in expanding the area, and the quality can always maintain the complete structure of the dermis and epidermis, but the texture is always unsatisfactory, especially with the facial skin, and the transplantation is no problem at all in the ordinary part, but there is still a difference in transplantation to the face. But it's much better than before, this is the best choice in the world at the moment, as a doctor, you can't choose the perfect love
In other cases, we can only choose the best, because in the vast majority of cases, there is no perfect option."
"How's the preparation for surgery?"
Professor Ivan took off his gloves and asked his assistant to put the skin back into the incubator, which is on display in the laboratory.
The assistant carefully put the skin back into the incubator and said, "The surgery is ready in Singapore, our instruments have arrived in Singapore, and Professor Maninstein will be involved in this operation, but he is only the theoretical team chairman, and you are the real surgeon."
Professor Ivan stood up and stood in front of a picture of the human body hanging on the wall, pointing at the drawing with a pencil in his hand: "This operation is a huge undertaking, severe burns have caused large scars to form in many parts of the body, these scars are hypertrophic contractures, all the scars need to be removed, and then covered with a graft using the skin we have cultured. You see, both the nose and the pinna need to be reconstructed, and the University of Alberta's 3D printed cartilage is barely up to the task. I have read his papers and cases, he is proficient in orthopedic surgery, if you judge by the papers, he should be the first in the world today, no one can surpass him."
"But I've never heard of this Dr. Yang?" The assistant asked curiously.
Professor Ivan shook his head: "That's because you never get involved in fields other than plastic surgery ---, if you have spare time, I suggest you read widely, from basic medicine to clinical medicine, various fields, various specialties, sometimes they are interconnected, you can learn from each other, learn, learn every day, only learning can keep you alive."
"Yes, Professor Ivan, I'll remember."
In the mind of the assistant, Professor Ivan is a mentor, a real mentor.
"This Chinese doctor, I have never met him, but I have read all his papers, if it is not for the accumulation of a large number of successful cases, many essences in the papers cannot be written at all, Chinese are naturally smart, and then have a large number of cases, it is easy to cultivate doctors with superb medical skills, it is a little regrettable that Chinese doctors always lack a little spark of imagination, but this young doctor is different, has a valuable spark of imagination." Professor Ivan's tone was calm and slow.
"Professor Ivan, you can always see things that others can't!" The assistant sincerely admired.
"The spark of imagination is actually a question between 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, 1% inspiration is the most important, even more important than the 99% perspiration. If one day, the Chinese get one percent inspiration, their technology will blow out, when I was twenty years old, when it was still the Soviet era, I studied at the First Sechenov Medical University, and I met Chinese students at that time, they were very smart and hardworking, and I was very impressed by the Chinese, intelligent, hardworking, and enduring."
Professor Ivan thought for a moment, as if he had gone back to his youth, and for a moment, he had returned to his normal demeanor.
"You see, this pelvic deformity and bilateral hip deformity left over from a comminuted pelvic fracture caused by a car accident require a complex pelvic osteotomy if you want to undergo surgical orthopedics, which is daunting for orthopaedic surgeons, but this Chinese doctor can do it, he has successfully opened the patient with spinal folding, which requires wisdom, courage and superb surgical skills."
"I have studied this case for three years, and the only thing I am not sure about is the texture of the facial skin, as well as orthopedic orthopedics, the texture of the skin cultivated in our laboratory is still different from the facial skin, and this skin has a very poor tolerance to ultraviolet rays, according to our experimental data, under ultraviolet radiation, it is easy to produce pigmentation, and the risk of skin cancer is also multiplied."
"But for this Italian lady, this is already the best choice, and he can walk on the street with the appearance of a normal person in the future."
The assistant looked at his mentor with adoring eyes, the genius plastic surgery master, who almost wanted to create another beauty, but he was not satisfied, and his pursuit of details was almost paranoid.
He has maturely applied stem cell cultivation technology and bio-3D printing technology to plastic surgery, making it very easy to shape some bone and cartilage contours, and the use of in vitro skin augmentation technology has made skin plastic surgery lighter
Easy to do.
"I always ask you to have a broad understanding of medicine, such as cartilage 3D printing technology, which has not progressed in joint surgery, and we have applied this technology to the shaping of the nose and auricle, and the effect is very good, because we use it, we don't need function, only form, and joint surgery needs function."
Professor Ivan wrote something on the drawing with a pencil, then took a few steps back and looked at the picture carefully, he had been refining his surgical plan for several years.
He wants to use his medical skills to create an artificial beauty and bring her back to the stage.
"I heard that the Chinese doctor turned down the invitation for this surgery?"
Professor Ivan always speaks at a constant pace, neither fast nor slow, like a calm preacher.
The assistant respectfully replied, "Yes, Lonaffe sent him an invitation, but he refused."
"Perhaps, he doesn't like Lonaffe, or doesn't know Lonaffe at all, but he will at least be interested in this case, such a genius must be a guy who has a strong interest in medicine, and at the same time, he will be somewhat interested in our skin amplification technology, which is the world's mature organ cloning technology that is really used in clinical practice. You have to believe that geniuses have one thing in common--- they love a certain field and don't care about anything that has to go wrong."
"It seems that I should go to China myself." Professor Ivan looked out the window.
Outside the window, the blue sky and white clouds are picturesque.
