Chapter 1052: Real Rich

Graduate students from the Institute of Surgery and researchers from the Digital Medicine Laboratory all helped to look at the pictures, but after looking at thousands of pictures, only one picture showed the structure of the virus inside the cells, and no signs of apoptosis of tumor cells were observed. No other pictures, whether of tumor cells or normal cells, showed the structure of the K virus.

These were all anticipated by Yang Ping, because the experiment would not be smooth sailing and problems of one kind or another would certainly be encountered during the process. The success of the experiment is a process of constantly solving problems and correcting the route until the final success. Many experiments still fail in the end even after tremendous efforts and countless work. This is also common.

What's more, one of these pictures now shows the structure of the K virus inside tumor cells. In fact, this is already a huge success, indicating that the K virus can successfully reach tumor cells and then infect them.

There are several possibilities for this situation. First, it may be that most of the virus is eliminated by the immune system during the process of being transported to the tumor by the blood. Second, it may be that a lot of the virus reaches the tumor, and the success rate of infecting tumor cells is extremely low. Third, the virus that infects tumor cells can initiate the cell's apoptosis program, but the cells that initiate the apoptosis program are not captured. Fourth, it may be that the virus cannot initiate apoptosis of cells.

No matter how many possibilities there are, one thing is certain: the K virus can infect tumor cells, it is just a matter of strength and probability. Now this picture is the most powerful evidence.

There are tens of thousands of pictures taken by digital cameras. It is too inefficient to view them manually and it is also unhealthy for the eyes.

Sharpening the knife does not delay the cutting of wood. Yang Ping decided to use computer assistance. He suggested that Director He’s team develop an artificial intelligence model to help distinguish these pictures.

In fact, it is not difficult for Director He's team to develop such a model, because they already have an artificial intelligence model for image recognition, but it is mainly used for viewing pathological sections and imaging pictures. This model has a very mature ability to recognize images in pathological sections and imaging pictures, and has surpassed most doctors.

It may be very tiring for a doctor to read hundreds of pathology slides a day, but artificial intelligence can read tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of images in just a few seconds. This efficiency has been used in medicine. In the future, the reading of pathology slides in many hospitals can be fully automated, and pathologists will not be needed to read the slides at all. The job of a pathologist is only to prepare pathology slides. If the preparation of pathology slides can also be automated, then pathologists only need to simply process pathology specimens.

Any artificial intelligence needs a lot of data to feed it, otherwise it will just be an "idiot". There is no precedent for the extraction of cell electron microscope images in this experiment, so there is no data to feed the artificial intelligence.

Although Professor He has developed an imaging artificial intelligence model using digital human technology, specifically for intelligent reading of films, such as X-rays, MRIs and CT films, this model has been fed with a large amount of data and has evolved well.

However, for the images of tumor cells under an electron microscope, which are brand new images, there is not a large amount of data to feed on, so the artificial model cannot evolve and is not of much use.

Professor He could only develop an image analysis engine based on the experience summarized by Yang Ping. This engine does not need big data to feed it. It can analyze images. If the analyzed structure is the same as that of tumor cells and there is no redundant structure, the image will be marked as non-infectious.

If extra structures are found inside the cell, they will be immediately extracted and entered into the next analysis procedure. If they are found to be partially or completely identical to the morphological structure of the virus, they will be marked as infected.

If uncertain images are marked as unclear, they will be left for manual analysis. After that, experience will be summarized based on the results of manual analysis and applied to the improvement of the model, so that its engine becomes more and more advanced and its recognition ability becomes stronger and stronger.

This is actually similar to the engine that antivirus software uses to analyze computer viruses. The difference is that antivirus software analyzes computer virus codes, while this software analyzes electron microscope images, but the general principles are similar.

In short, Yang Ping will now work closely with Professor He's team to develop various different segmentation models to assist in experiments. When the big artificial intelligence model comes out, the big model will be used to assist in scientific research and greatly improve the efficiency of scientific research.

It takes Professor He more than one or two days to develop a model. Although he has acquired basic models to use and his team has already digested and absorbed these models, it still takes some time to modify them.

When Ruixing Medical acquired the model, one of them was a model specializing in laboratory biological image recognition. Professor He's team could make improvements on this model, which would save a lot of time.

In fact, acquisition is not a bad thing. If you can digest and absorb his technology after the acquisition, it can greatly shorten the R&D time and keep pace with the international level.

Yang Ping decided to stop reading the pictures for the time being and wait until Professor He's image recognition engine was developed before continuing to read the next pictures. He wanted to focus on modifying the structure of the virus.

Judging from the data collected from the first experiment, the K virus must have caused a strong reaction in Sisi's immune system. This reaction is very dangerous and sometimes fatal.

Therefore, Yang Ping’s first priority now is to change the implantation location of the K virus. This location is very important and directly affects the interaction between the K virus and the human immune system. Its stimulation to the immune system must be reduced. It would be best if it does not cause adverse symptoms like some viruses, or only causes mild transient flu symptoms.

After Sisi experienced a high fever caused by the first injection of the K virus, her entire body suffered a huge blow, which requires time to recover. Fortunately, there is currently no obvious damage to the functions of various important organs.

After the operation, Yang Ping collected MRI images of Sisi's metastatic tumors. The biggest advantage of choosing MRI as an imaging examination is that it does not have ionizing radiation, unlike CT, PET-CT, etc., which must have ionizing radiation. Continuous use will have a negative impact on the body. Tumor marker monitoring also officially began, and a tube of blood was drawn almost every day for these tests to dynamically monitor the changes in tumor markers.

After the high fever, Sisi's appetite was not very good, but the little girl was very sensible. She knew that not eating would slow down her recovery, so she forced herself to eat more so that she could recover faster. Her mother also made delicious food for her, but her taste buds had not recovered yet, so no matter how delicious the food was, it tasted like chewing wax in Sisi's mouth.

In fact, the situation at that time was like walking back from the gates of hell. A new virus is catastrophic to the human immune system, but fortunately, it is not so new that it seems to have similarities with the original virus. The human body still has the ability to kill it and has experience in dealing with it.

For example, in some areas of the Arctic, many viruses are frozen in the ice. If the ice melts one day and these viruses come back to life, they will pose a huge threat to humans, because human immunity has never dealt with them and lacks experience in fighting them.

The viruses that humans come into contact with on a daily basis, such as the various viruses that cause colds, are because humans have frequently dealt with them or their ancestors during the long process of evolution. Our immunity has enough experience in dealing with them, so in most cases, we can defeat them, and only fail in very rare cases.

In the first conversation between Yang Ping and Sisi's parents after the first experiment, Yang Ping gave them feedback on the results of the experiment. They said that no matter what the result was, they would fully cooperate with Yang Ping and told Yang Ping not to have any pressure. They could bear all the consequences and were very grateful to Yang Ping for doing his best for Sisi.

The Hermes couple has always been concerned about Sisi's condition. After this laboratory experiment, they also came to Yang Ping to find out the situation. Sisi is now their goddaughter.

After Yang Ping introduced the results of the experiment, Hermes sighed:

"This child and I are indeed destined to be together. I feel bad for her, as if she were my own daughter. Professor Yang, if you need money, just let me know. I can't help you with other things, but I can still help you with money. Just tell me if you need any equipment. I heard that experimental treatments are very expensive, and laboratory equipment is very expensive. Please tell me what equipment you need. Things change over time. Now I am not the same as before. I have plenty of money. To be honest, I have gold and diamond mines in Africa, as well as lithium and iron mines. , I have been very lucky recently. These minerals are not only high in content and good in appearance, but also very easy to mine and low in cost, so they are very profitable to sell. I won’t say too much. Now I can always get a few billion in funds. It’s not a problem to get hundreds of billions, or even hundreds of billions. There is nothing else. Now I have a lot of money. You can use me wherever you need money. Old Huang is engaged in medical technology. He makes money slowly, but he has many places to spend money. He is not like me who is like a money printing machine, so don’t be polite. Money is meant to be spent. I won’t feel bad if I spend it in the right place.”

Although Hermès is very luxurious, the feelings are still very sincere, and Yang Ping understands it.

"This is not about money. We are facing some problems now and we have to solve them one by one. Although the result of the first experimental treatment is not very good, it is not the worst. This is normal. Many things in the world are like this, neither good nor bad. This is already very good. Just wait patiently." Yang Ping knew that he was anxious, so he comforted her.

"Professor Yang, what should I say about this little girl Sisi? I just said that I have a connection with her. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I tell you the truth. I was ready to jump off the surgical building after I went bankrupt. Really, I had lost all hope and had no desire to live. But after meeting Sisi, my state of mind changed completely. An eight or nine-year-old girl with a terminal illness is so optimistic and positive, and she sees life and death so clearly. I'm almost forty years old and my body is fine. You even healed one of my legs. Why shouldn't I cherish my life and the opportunity to live in this world?"

As he was talking, Hermes actually shed tears. His wife handed him a tissue. He wiped his tears and continued, "Anyway, it's not someone else, so don't laugh at me. This little girl will help me open up another world, a world full of sunshine and beauty. So now I have seen through it. I have so much money in my hands. If I don't use it to do something meaningful, the money will be wasted in my hands. People, living in this world, whether long or short, must do something meaningful, so that their lives are not in vain. So I tell you, Professor Yang, you are a medical genius. It would be better to give all my money to you than to others. You can definitely come up with something, and the things you come up with can definitely save many lives, so I think my money has also saved meaning."

"Isn't Ruixing Medical working on artificial intelligence with Nandu University? I heard that this will be of great help to Sisi's experiment. Ruixing has set up a special company to study this. I heard that it is very expensive. How about this, I get a few billion and give it to Lao Huang? Let them tinker with artificial intelligence?" Hermes asked.

"This is very risky, and we are currently in the stage of losing money," said Yang Ping.

"Oh, you can just treat it as a donation. What's the risk to talk about? I said that this money is not for making money, but for creating some meaning. I'm uneducated and can't speak. I used to dig coal and now I dig gold. I can only make money by doing these unskilled things. Don't despise me." Hermes had to give the money out today anyway, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable.

"If you really want to, I'll tell them that when you invest, you take your own risks anyway."

"No problem. As a gold digger, why should I be afraid of risks? As long as there is gold in the soil, I am not afraid of risks. Besides, what if I lose my money? At worst, I can just go back to singing on the overpass."

Hermès has a lot of money now but has nowhere to put it. As long as Yang Ping needs money, he will pour money into it regardless of whether there will be a return on investment in the future. Some random investment experts suggested that he invest in this or that, but he rejected them all, thinking that it was useless.

"It seems that Professor He's research at Nandu University requires money. I'll get a few hundred million to donate there. I'll put another tens of billions into your laboratories. Also, I heard that your eldest brother-in-law's wife is in charge of the genetics laboratory at Nandu Medical University. I'll get a few hundred million to donate to her project. Who else? Oh, Nandu No. 1 Affiliated Hospital, I'll donate another sum." Hermes counted on his fingers, planning how to spend the money.

This?
Really rich!
"besides!"

Hermes remembered: "Well, didn't I hear that Lao Huang had a fight with others recently? I will use a few mines to back him up."
