Back To The Age Of The '80s

"Tangyuan, glutinous rice balls, reunion. I hope we can reunite together every Spring Festival like now!" In the dining room of the Liang family, Fang Butler specially asked someone to put a small round table next to the big long table, and the three of them sat around Beside the small round table, there is really a feeling of reunion.

Li Zheng always felt that there was something wrong with this statement, but the situation made him unable to say a word of rebuttal.

Steward Fang divided the glutinous rice balls, then raised his cup, "For our reunion."

"For our reunion."

The three toasted together, Liang Zhe glanced at Li Zheng secretly, seeing that Li Zheng did not refute Fang Butler's words just now, he rarely showed a hint of joy on his normally paralyzed face, and the blush spread from behind his ears to his neck.

He is like a bottle of Coke that has been shaken dizzy, fine and small bubbles come out from the bottom of his heart little by little, more and more urgently, more and more.

If he could be with Li Zheng every year, thinking of this possibility, Liang Zhe felt warm all over his body, and even his breathing became much smoother.

Feeling Liang Zhe's gaze that could be called "enthusiastic", Li Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and then felt a strange satisfaction in his heart.

In this regard, he explained to himself that it is a stressful emotion called "joy" that occurs when people are valued by others.

"The Liang family's ancestral home is in Ningbo, so they have always had the habit of eating glutinous rice balls during Chinese New Year. In the past, when the husband and wife were around, they would make glutinous rice balls and cook them by themselves. Now only I, an old man, can cook them for Mr. Xiao. .”

After eating the glutinous rice balls, Butler Fang took the lead in washing the dishes himself.In his words, there is a beginning and an end. The glutinous rice balls made by yourself are complete only after you wash the dishes after eating.

Liang Zhe washed the fastest, frowning and rinsed with water, even if the washing was finished, butler Fang ordered him to send the bowl back to the kitchen.

So Fang Butler and Li Zheng were left in the restaurant.

"I'm really happy, Mr. Xiao, he has a friend like you. Every time Mr. Xiaoliang sees you, his eyes light up, just like the light when he saw Mrs. and Mrs. coming home when he was a child. This child Life is hard..."

Steward Fang babbled a lot, and Li Zheng listened quietly, feeling more "sympathy" for Liang Zhe in his heart.

So when Liang Zhe came back after finishing the bowl, what greeted him was Li Zheng's "kind" eyes.

"Why not! Why not! This is impossible! This is impossible!" The man's hoarse roar came from the No. [-] laboratory, and Wen Wenfeng looked at the little white mouse in the glass vessel with bloodshot eyes.

Ma Wenmin took a deep breath, "Wenfeng, it's only a month now. Don't worry." For a complicated scientific research achievement, a month's time is equivalent to a drop of water in a small river, and it's really not worth mentioning .

"One month? How many months do I have left? Wen Min, I have no time!" As time passed, Wen Wenfeng's condition became worse and worse. The injury caused Wen Wenfeng's tense nerves to collapse at any time.

"Here we go again, and I believe our theory is correct!"

Zhang Chao and Zhang Yuejun looked at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.Teacher Wen's status...

at this time.

"Bang!" The sound of something heavy falling to the ground.Without any warning, Wen Wenfeng fell to the ground clutching his stomach.

"Wenfeng!" Ma Wenmin yelled and rushed forward.

Zhang Chao and Zhang Yuejun also immediately put down the utensils in their hands and rushed up as fast as possible.

"Zhang Yuejun, call the medical team!" Zhang Chao put his arm under the back of Wen Wenfeng's head, and then said to Zhang Yuejun.

Zhang Yuejun nodded vigorously and ran outside quickly.Because he ran too fast, he almost fell down. Fortunately, his cerebellum is still developed, so he avoided the tragedy of falling and eating shit.

Li Zheng has been busy writing papers this month.

The successive introduction of paaminesatin and carbapenem antibiotics made Li Zheng's laboratory, which is named after a Chinese individual, very popular for a while.

But in these two scientific research achievements, Li Zheng's sense of personal presence is so strong that it obscures the brilliance of the laboratory.

To consolidate the foundation of the laboratory and at the same time expand its influence in the biomedical circle, several papers published by heavyweight and authoritative journals are crucial.

During these three months, Li Zheng sorted out the materials of all his recent scientific research projects and wrote several papers on antibiotics.

A review on antibiotics, in which he incorporated a lot of personal opinions, many of which are very directional and instructive from later generations. If someone is doing research in this area and happens to see this article, there must be someone It's a feeling of suddenly seeing the sun behind the clouds.

There are also several academic papers on the non-core patented technology of carbapenem antibiotics, which were sent to the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry.

Two weeks after the paper was sent, Smith called in person, praised Li Zheng a lot, and congratulated Li Zheng on the drafting of the paper.

Merck is one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the United States, and naturally has a good relationship with the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry.Presumably, as soon as Li Zheng sent his paper on carbapenem antibiotics, Smith got the news.

The purpose of his call was to congratulate Li Zheng by knowing the result in advance, but actually to explain to Li Zheng that if he wrote something that shouldn't be written, Merck would get the news.

When Zhang Yuejun ran over, Li Zheng was sorting out the samples.

"Li Zheng! Mr. Wen passed out!"

Li Zheng stood up abruptly from his seat, "Where's the medical team? Have you been notified? Is Dr. Gong there? You can call Chen Xuhua again and ask him to come to the laboratory right away!"

Participating in this matter, what Li Zheng was most worried about was not the series of chemical reactions caused by the success or failure of the academic competition, but Wen Wenfeng's body.Yet the worst happened.

"How is it? Teacher Wen is alright!" When Li Zheng arrived, Dr. Gong was already carrying out first aid.

His face was serious, and he looked at Li Zheng and the others not very kindly.

"You are all top scholars in biology. I heard that you have also invented two new medicines. There is no distinction between medicine and medicine. Don't you even have the most basic medical knowledge?"

"What is advanced cancer? Do you think that a patient with advanced liver cancer is tense all day long, and working in the laboratory will not affect his condition?"

Dr. Gong spoke unceremoniously, "What he needs is rest, do you know what rest is? No psychological pressure, leisurely cultivation, OK"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Li Zheng's brows frowned into a Sichuan character.This decision was not something he could make, and Li Zheng couldn't help looking at Ma Wenmin.

Ma Wenmin bit her lower lip tightly, took two deep breaths, and looked at Li Zheng firmly.

"I will host this project on his behalf for the time being!" She knew her husband too well, if she chose to give up this project, Wen Wenfeng might die without being able to close her eyes.

Li Zheng patted Ma Wenmin on the shoulder and nodded.

He hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Ma, do you mind if I know the progress of the project?"

Because Wen Wenfeng and his wife had their research achievements stolen, Li Zheng has always adopted an attitude of avoiding suspicion in this project, and at the beginning of the experiment, he stated that this project was completely a personal project of Wen Wenfeng and his wife. The office is only responsible for providing the venue.

It's just that in the past month, he knew from the expressions of Wen Wenfeng and his wife that the progress of the experiment was not optimistic.Just now he quietly asked Dr. Gong that if he didn't change his liver, Wen Wenfeng's life would only be half a year.

Half a year is too short for a scientific research project that has no clue yet.

Ma Wenmin wiped the tears from his face, and said gently: "Of course I don't mind."

"You know, the structure of the human ear and nose is not complicated. If you just copy the appearance, use the principle of tissue engineering, and add the skin tissue of the animal itself..." Ma Wenmin explained to Li Zheng in detail.

In fact, when Li Zheng saw the information of Wen Wenfeng and his wife for the first time, he had already thought of the human-eared mouse of later generations. There was an uproar.

It's just a pity that although this experiment was first completed by scientists in Huaguo, after the birth of the human ear mouse, Huaguo's technology has not made other breakthroughs, let alone applied to clinical practice.

On the contrary, with the passage of time, Japanese and British scientists have realized the localization of this technology one after another, and clearly put forward the time when this technology can be applied to the human body, which makes the Chinese biological community very regretful.

Li Zheng did not expect that as early as 1983, these two young Huaguo scientific researchers had already had this idea and worked hard to put it into practice.

However, compared with the human-eared mice of later generations, Wenwenfeng and his wife's experiments are too rough, and many directional things are wrong.

Li Zheng glanced at Wen Wenfeng who was lying on the hospital bed, his whole body covered with threads, and said, "Teacher Ma, let me tell you what I think."

He led everyone to Laboratory No. 2.

Picking up a pen, Li Zheng began to speak.

"In fact, you can change your thinking and artificially construct scaffolds. Extract chondrocytes from animal joints, and then culture the chondrocytes into tiny spheroids in a culture tank, and then we can use a degradable plastic scaffold. Degradable plastics, I remember this concept was mentioned by a new materials laboratory in the United States two years ago, and I can ask someone to ask. The plastic is folded into the shape of a human nose, and the cells are allowed to multiply and grow on the plastic support, and then enter the naked body after in vitro culture. Rat's back. I think it's more likely to succeed that way."

Li Zheng's words made Ma Wenmin's mouth grow wide, she kept recording in her hand, and muttered to herself.It takes about 10 minutes to write and draw.

"It's doable! It's doable!" She suddenly cried out excitedly.

She took a deep look at Li Zheng, her eyes filled with admiration and gratitude.

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Li Zheng shook his head, put down his pen with a smile, and walked out of the laboratory.This kind of technology that can benefit people, the sooner it comes out, the better.

Ma Wenmin took a deep breath to suppress his excitement.

She clapped her hands and said to Zhang Yuejun and Zhang Chao: "Come on, let's try it out as Mr. Li Zheng said."

"After the anesthesia injection, Subject No. 1 will lose consciousness in 15 minutes."

"Check the equipment again, and extract chondrocytes in 8 minutes. I hope it will be successful the first time."

In the past few weeks, the Wenwenfeng project team has tried rabbit articular chondrocytes and rat xiphoid chondrocytes. These small animal chondrocytes have limitations in the growth and reproduction of tiny spheroids, which are obviously not enough to support the human body. The construction of organs.

The tentative goal of the Wenwenfeng project team is to successfully cultivate an "in vitro regenerative nose".

Of course, the nose cultivated with this tissue engineering principle only has a decorative effect, and does not have the function of the nose itself.

However, one of the great advantages of this technology is that it uses cells as the starting point for cultivation, and the finished human nose planted in the end is alive, so it can grow together with the host.This is very important for children born with facial deformities.

Zhang Chao threw a set of protective clothing to Zhang Yuejun.

"Dress carefully, this is a big guy. Ms. Zheng specifically told the animal husbandry factory to want the healthiest pig. If it suddenly wakes up when we amputate the joint, we can rely on this to save our lives!" Zhang Chaoyi Said with a serious face.

Zhang Yuejun swallowed, and extracted chondrocytes. He had only done mice and rabbits before, and he had never done this kind of large animals.
