Back To The Age Of The '80s

"This is the latest paper on 'Prolonging the Storage Time of Human Transplanted Organs' published by the University of Chicago's Biological Research Laboratory. I have read it, and the technology is only at the theoretical level. The only bright spot in the paper is the storage solution." Liu Sichao said, will He passed the American medical journal in his hand to Li Zheng.

Regarding the scientific research competition with the Biological Laboratory of the University of Chicago, Liu Sichao still feels that he is in a dream. The current Ninth Laboratory, together with his family member Mr. Liang, is only two and a half people.Li Zheng and him are two people. Although Mr. Liang is an adult, his professional level can be ignored, let's count him as half.

There are two and a half people full of fights, and they actually want to conduct a scientific research competition with the biology laboratory of the world-renowned University of Chicago. Even ten years ago, when he was young and energetic, he did not dare to pay such attention.

Li Zheng took the paper and flipped through it, and then understood the meaning of Liu Sichao's words.

Human beings are the most perfect creations of the heavens, and human organs are the most precise parts in the human body.For the heart, which is the most difficult organ to store, it has extremely high requirements on the temperature and chemical environment. If you want to do this with 80s technology, the wealth that ordinary patients can afford is simply beyond the reach of ordinary patients.

What the University of Chicago mentioned in prolonging the storage time of the heart, simulating the human body environment and slowing down the heart rate, is theoretically feasible, but judging from these empty statements, it is obvious that they have not developed a specific experimental operation process.

The commonly used and best organ storage solution in the country is the UW solution developed by the University of Wisconsin in the United States. The refrigerated reference table released by the American Organ Transplantation Society in the mid-80s is also based on the UW solution standard.

The biological laboratory of the University of Chicago analyzed the components of the UW solution in detail to reduce its side effects on the internal organs and prolong the storage time of transplanted organs.

However, from his first-stage experimental results, the effect of reducing the side effects of UW solution on transplanted organs has been achieved, but the prolongation time is almost negligible.

Li Zheng laughed, "A typical Taurus project."

The Taurus project is considered a high-profit project in economics.However, when this term is put on the head of academic projects, it seems a bit ironic. It mostly refers to those scientific research projects whose economic value is greater than their academic value.

Just like the Biological Laboratory of the University of Chicago, it reduces the side effects of UW solution.

UW solution is a commonly used storage solution for transplanted organs in the world. As soon as the Chicago paper came out, the manufacturer of UW solution would naturally come to the door and send money. This is probably why the laboratory released the results of the first phase of the paper so quickly.

Moreover, Li Zheng guessed that it probably had some reasons for its refusal to let go and give Hua Qingyi the position.

"You're right, the patent buyout fee for this project is not cheap." Liu Sichao clicked his tongue.

Li Zheng closed the journal, casually threw it on the table, and glanced at the thick pile of resumes beside him.

"How is the recruitment going?" If he wants to snipe this golden bull, he must hurry up, otherwise his results will come out, and his laboratory has already received the patent buyout fee from the pharmaceutical company. It is not a laboratory but a pharmaceutical company.If you want speed, you must first have someone.

"There are a lot of graduate students who are starting to work. I interviewed a few. Although Huaqing University's students are a little weak in practical ability, they have strong learning ability. It only takes two or three repetitive experiments to get started. It's not a big problem."

"What is lacking is a leader who can keep up with our thinking, and the hands-on ability should not be too weak. This is more difficult." When doing experiments, we race against time and have no time to explain to the students. At this time, we can keep up with their thinking It is very important.

but……

Li Zheng and Liu Sichao frowned at the same time, this kind of person is hard to find.

The recruitment time for the lead experimenter was set for the next morning. The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel and fell on the big white bed. Li Zheng's white toes moved, and then he let out a groan.

There was a lot of trouble yesterday, which made his body sore and numb.Li Zheng turned his head to look at Liang Zhe, who opened his mouth slightly and was whistling softly, and kicked him hard on the waist.

"Bang" Liang Zhe was kicked to the ground in response.

He got up from the ground with half-opened eyes, and half-prostrated on the edge of the bed facing Li Zheng, showing an aggrieved expression.

"Ah Zheng, it hurts."

"It deserves it!" Li Zheng snorted coldly and got up from the bed. He had an interview in the morning. He wanted to go to bed early yesterday, but Liang Zhe was about to start a new project. In the past few days, they are usually stuck together, unwilling to make trouble with him for half the night.

There was the sound of washing in the bathroom, Liang Zhe gave a smirk, and got up to buy breakfast for Li Zheng.

"Sun Bin from the second year of research, Lu Xuexue from the third year of research, and Zheng Guangye were admitted yesterday, and they are all top in the biology department. If it weren't for the fact that the professors' laboratories have not openly recruited for the past two years, with their qualifications, You can get in touch with first-line scientific research projects a long time ago.”

"That's right, Zheng Guangye is still the chairman of the student union of the biology department, the first prize in the national biology competition, a legend."

"I heard that this interview recruits formal experimenters, that is, the leader. To be honest, our academic level is not as good as Senior Zheng and the others."

"Don't talk about us, it's hard to find in Huaqing." The corridor in the ninth laboratory was full of students who came to interview.

Their discussions were not small, and they reached the ears of Li Zheng and Liu Sichao very clearly.

Liu Sichao rubbed his nose, "Sun Bin and the others have good qualifications and great potential. But they are still a bit short of keeping up with our thinking."

After another student went out, Li Zheng rubbed his temples, he missed Zhang Yuejun a little bit.Zhang Yuejun, a mature experimental dog, was brought by Li Zheng directly from Xu Mingsheng's laboratory.

Xu Mingsheng trained for many years, and he had already cultivated Zhang Yuejun's sense of smell in the laboratory, so that he and Li Zheng could cooperate well very quickly.But Huaqing's students are different. Huaqing's scientific research resources are tight, and even professors have to work hard in the laboratory, let alone students.

Therefore, it is really not ordinary difficult to pick out students from Huaqing University who can keep up with the thinking of the two.

While talking, the next batch of students came in.

A group of three people sat cautiously on the other side of the long table in front of the two of them.

"Zhang He Yansan, Zhang Xuedong Yansan, Meng Jieyan two?" Liu Sichao glanced at his resume and raised his head.

The three nodded quickly.

"Let me introduce myself, and to make a long story short, talk about your laboratory experience."

This recruitment requires laboratory experience, and all interviewees can speak more or less.

Zhang He and Zhang Xuedong talked eloquently, but when it was Meng Jie's turn, he stuttered a bit.

Li Zheng frowned slightly and raised his head.

"I... I, participated... participated in..." It's not that I stuttered, but I really stuttered.

However, perhaps because of the two people staring at him, Meng Jie's forehead soon seeped many fine beads of sweat. He tried hard to open his mouth to speak, but after a long time, he still lowered his head in a slumped manner.

"I'm sorry..."

Li Zheng and Liu Sichao looked at each other, and Li Zheng said, "It's okay." He lowered his head and wanted to put a cross on the name.

Meng Jie...Meng Jie?

Li Zheng recited the name silently in his heart, then he couldn't help but look up at this dark, skinny stuttering young man, and suddenly had an absurd idea in his heart.

The father of embryo transfer in Huaguo in the future?

Speaking of Meng Jie, the father of embryo transfer in Huaguo, he is a very tragic figure.Although he graduated from Huaqing, one of the highest universities in Huaguo, it was difficult for him to find a good job after graduation because of his natural stammer.

It takes 20 years to do the lowest technical work in a laboratory.

Later, he was secretly doing experiments in the laboratory and was discovered by the person in charge of the laboratory. He was kicked out of the laboratory and disappeared from the scientific research community.

It was not until many years after his death that embryo transfer technology developed, and the first domestic embryo transfer experiment was successful.While the biological community in Huaguo was rejoicing, foreign colleagues suddenly raised a question. Didn't you in Huaguo complete the first embryo transfer experiment ten years ago?

It was only then that the Chinese discovered that Meng Jie had submitted a paper to a German medical journal ten years ago, but because of English grammar and other reasons, the paper was required to be revised, but when the paper was returned, Meng Jie had already been kicked out of the experiment. This made the German side think that the Chinese had voluntarily given up the publication of the paper.

It's just that the German reviewer has never discarded the manuscript, and has repeatedly stated in public that the embryo transfer of Chinese people is at the leading level in the world.

The news spread back to China, causing an uproar in the biological community.

Everyone lamented the fall of a genius, and the events of Meng Jie's life were revealed to everyone.

Did he find a treasure?

"Keep your viscera active, give me your thoughts for 2 minutes." Li Zheng stared at Meng Jie without blinking.

Meng Jie was obviously more nervous. He made a "hehe" sound from his throat, but he couldn't utter a single syllable.

Li Zheng tore off a piece of paper from his notebook, and handed it to him along with his pen.

"Writing is also fine."

Hearing this, Meng Jie's eyes glowed with gratitude, he nodded vigorously, and took the pen and paper.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, wetting the paper, and a look of disgust flashed in the eyes of Zhang He next to him.

He was the first to say: "Professor Li, let me talk first. To keep the viscera active, as long as it is temperature and blood circulation speed..." Zhang He's theoretical knowledge is obviously good.

"I... I'm fine, I'm fine." Meng Jie said cautiously.
