Back To The Age Of The '80s

After the donation ceremony of Roche and Huaqing, the University of Chicago took the initiative to come to Huaqing University to carry out a scientific research cooperation project on "prolonging the storage time of human transplanted organs".

“今年美国器官移植协会公布的一份器官冷藏参考表里表示，在现今技术条件下,心脏的冷藏时限是3-5小时，肝脏24小时,肾脏48-72小时,骨髓是5年。心脏的储存时间太短呐,远远不够满足心血管病人的需求,所以加利福尼亚大学和芝加哥大学都在努力研制改进器官组织运送装置。”

"My laboratory is also ranked high in Asia in terms of organ transplantation. Li Zheng, I have read your laboratory's paper on 'Regenerating Organs in Vitro'. This is a great advancement in tissue engineering. If The combination of in vitro regeneration technology and organ transplantation will be a great contribution to the history of human medicine!"

Speaking of this, Meng Lao danced excitedly.

He looked at Li Zheng with burning eyes, his eyes full of anticipation.

"Meng Lao, if the 'in vitro regeneration of organs' technology can be further developed, I will be very happy to cooperate with your laboratory to promote the combination of the two technologies."

"Okay, okay." Meng Lao said three good words in a row. Rao knew that it would take more than a day or two for these two technologies to develop to the ideal stage. Maybe by that day, he would no longer be around.But in the eyes of the older generation of scientific researchers, as long as there is hope and feasibility, it is worth working hard.

What's more, these two technologies are completely feasible in terms of theoretical deduction, and it is only a matter of time before they reach his ideal stage.

In the next two months, apart from remotely directing related projects in Li Zheng's laboratory, Li Zheng put more energy into promoting international drugs to enter the Huaguo market as soon as possible.

Today, Li Zheng has good cooperative relations with international pharmaceutical companies such as Roche, Pfizer, and Merck. With his mediation, it is not impossible for advanced drugs to enter the Chinese market early.

"Li Zheng, are you in a hurry to get started on this matter now?" Zhao Depei was full of admiration for this upstart in the field of biology, but even so, he was still a little stunned when he heard what Li Zheng was going to do. .

This young man really dares to think!

"These matters are not only academic matters, but also related to policy. To synchronize the domestic drug market with the international drug market, not only must people be willing to enter, but we must also be willing to let them enter." Zhao Depei carefully considered the language, he did not want to hit The enthusiasm of young people, especially the enthusiasm of young people with a family and country in their hearts.

"Principal, if you don't do some things, how do you know it's impossible? Huaqing and Yanda are the highest universities in Huaguo. Many leaders come from these two universities. Policies are also made by people. As long as they are people, they can be flexible." It can be changed, can't it?"

"We scholars have spent half our lives in the laboratory, but the drugs we develop can benefit foreigners, but the drugs developed by foreigners cannot benefit our people. Is it fair?"

Zhao Depei frowned tightly, he rubbed his index finger and thumb unconsciously, thinking seriously.

"Li Zheng...let me think about it again, think about it."

Li Zheng understood Zhao Depei's concerns. He rubbed the center of his brows, and took out a piece of white paper from his trouser pocket. The edges of the white paper were pitted, obviously torn off by the owner at will.

Li Zheng handed the blank paper to Zhao Depei, "This is the next project schedule of my Li Zheng laboratory, maybe you will be interested in it, the principal. Because of patent reasons, I will still hang these projects under the name of Li Zheng's laboratory, and Through the channels of international pharmaceutical companies, it will be promoted to other countries as soon as possible. I don’t want the medicine I have worked so hard to develop to benefit the people of the world but only miss my compatriots.”

Zhao Depei was startled. He took the blank paper, unfolded it, and stood up abruptly, "These medicines... you, you are sure." His voice trembled slightly.

It doesn’t need to be all of them, as long as one of them can be realized, it is enough to set off a medical revolution, anticancer drugs, this... This is a problem that the whole world is trying to overcome, Li Zheng’s laboratory, how is it possible.

But without anticancer drugs, these antibiotics or vaccines are enough to drive the medical community crazy.

"Principal, this is the schedule of Li Zheng's laboratory, and it is also the schedule of the world's biological community. It will be a matter of time before these drugs are released. If they are released, but our masses cannot enjoy them, can we scholars feel at ease? ?”

Zhao Depei took a deep look at Li Zheng, "You are amazing, you convinced me. I will work hard, but this will be a long-term process."

"I know." The corners of Li Zheng's mouth twitched slightly. In his previous life, it was not until 2018 that the country substantially reduced or exempted anti-cancer drug tariffs, and he paid attention to the synchronization of the international drug market and the domestic drug market. In this life, he put this issue 30 years in advance. On the bright side, it is already a big improvement.

Zhao Depei must do what he says, and since he has agreed, he will work hard to do it.During these two months, the two of them almost wanted to devote all their energy to this matter.

Therefore, when they heard that Mr. Meng had been admitted to the hospital because of cardiovascular disease, they were all taken aback.

"When did it happen? Why didn't anyone notify me?" Zhao Depei yelled at the phone.

"It's been three days, coronary atherosclerosis, the situation is not optimistic." Chen Anbang's voice was low and dignified.

Zhao Depei hung up the phone heavily, "Li Zheng, I will visit Mr. Meng at the drug hospital."

"I'll go with you." Li Zheng's face was also a little dignified.

Mr. Meng was a scholar he admired very much. When he came to Huaqing in his previous life, Mr. Meng had already passed away. Thinking about the time of the teacher's death that Chen Anbang described to him, it seemed to be... 1985.

His heart suddenly contracted. Two months ago, Mr. Meng was still talking to him in high spirits about the technology of "extending the storage time of human organ transplantation"...

When the two drove to the hospital, Meng Lao had already been pushed into the intensive care unit.

Several people from Chen Anbang and Meng Lao's laboratory stood at the door with sad expressions on their faces.

Mrs. Meng passed away three years ago, and the two left no children. Mr. Meng is completely alone, and regards the laboratory as the focus of his entire life.

"The teacher has been suffering from angina pectoris, but because of the busy project, he has not paid attention to it. Coronary angiography shows that the left anterior descending artery is narrowed before the branch of the first diagonal artery, and the blood cannot circulate normally. The doctor said that there are about three more month."

There was silence in the hospital corridor.

Li Zheng didn't like this kind of atmosphere of life and death, never had.

Chen An helped wipe the red eyes, "Principal, Li Zheng, since you are here, go and see the teacher. The teacher is in a good state of mind."

Li Zheng and Zhao Depei nodded, and followed Chen Anbang into the ward.

As a national treasure-level scientist, Mr. Meng lives in the intensive care unit.A room of about [-] square meters, with a separate bathroom and a small TV.

Sunlight fell on the white hospital bed through the window. Li Zheng couldn't help feeling sour when he saw Mr. Meng at this time. There was hardly a trace of black hair on Mr. Meng's head, and he seemed to have aged several years. The sense of vicissitudes of life overflows from him, giving people a feeling of sunset.

"Teacher, the principal and Li Zheng are here to see you." Chen Anbang said softly.

Hearing this, Old Meng slowly turned his head, and when he saw the two of them, a smile appeared on his face.

"You guys are here, sit down."

The two agreed to sit down on the stool in front of the hospital bed.

"Xiao Zhao, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue the project with Chicago. But Huaqing has little experience in participating in international projects, so I can't just give up this opportunity. Anbang has been with me for a long time, and I hope he will do this project for me. go down."

Zhao Depei's eyes turned red when he heard Mr. Meng's words as if he was confessing his last words, and his voice trembled slightly, "Okay."

"Why are you crying? It's just that the person in charge has changed. I don't know if there will be any objections from Chicago." Meng Lao said to himself, then looked up at Chen Anbang, "Anbang, there are still three months left, these three months Here, I will take you to do projects and meet people from the University of Chicago, and you have to grasp the opportunity yourself."

When Meng Lao talked about the project, his spirit improved a lot, and a rosy rosy appeared on his pale cheeks.

"Teacher! You need to rest now!" He naturally heard the meaning in Meng Lao's words. In the last three months of his life, he actually planned to continue participating in the experiment.

"You." Meng Lao waved his hand, "It's a waste to lie on the bed for three months. Of course, it's better to be in the laboratory. Even if I die in the laboratory, I will be happy!"

The eye sockets of almost everyone present except Li Zheng began to get a little moist.

Emotions are very contagious. Seeing everyone like this, Mr. Meng couldn't help showing a trace of sadness in his eyes.

As soon as Li Zheng entered the ward, he did not go to greet Mr. Meng, but picked up various reports of Mr. Meng from the bedside table next to the hospital bed, and examined them carefully.

Medicine is not divided into families. Although Li Zheng's clinical ability is not as good as that of front-line doctors, his theoretical knowledge is very rich.Coronary artery stenosis was almost an incurable disease in Huaguo in the mid-80s, but Li Zheng remembered that there were still treatments available in the world.

In September 1977, Grusziger used a balloon catheter to dilate the patient's narrowed coronary artery, which was the world's first coronary angioplasty.

The new technique was published in literature in a medical journal in 1978.

"Coronary angioplasty!" Li Zheng said suddenly, "Although PTCA technology is not yet fully mature, it has been in clinical practice for many years. Why don't we try it?"
