Four hundred and ninety-one chapters human experiment
It is really not easy to provide postoperative care for pigs and heart transplants.
Ruikang arranged a nursing team of more than 20 people to monitor the pig for 24 hours, constantly calming it down, and did not dare to leave its sight for a minute, so he could barely control the situation of the pig.
Otherwise, if you jump around casually, the pipes that are stuck in the pig will collapse and you will die in an instant...
Taking care of pigs is harder than caring for people.
After finally recuperating in the intensive care unit for a week, the pig was finally able to move to an ordinary ward.
The dose of tranquilizer has also begun to gradually reduce, and the pig has started to recover after surgery.
It is worth mentioning that since the heart transplanted for it is a pluripotent stem cell cultured with its own somatic cells, it theoretically does not produce an organ rejection reaction.
However, the doctor still carefully checks the rejection effect every day.
After examination, it was found that as expected, this in vitro cultivated heart perfectly merged with the pigs and did not undergo any rejection reaction.
The cells in the pig's body did not regard this heart as an outsider, but as their own people, and played happily together.
This is very good news, indicating that there is no error in Ruikang's research and that the direction of the entire organ regeneration project is correct!
About two weeks after the operation, the wound on the pig's body had basically healed, and its vital signs were also very healthy, with normal heart rate and normal blood pressure!
However, this is just the surface wound healing, and the suture wound in the inner heart has not been fully recovered. It takes about three to six months to completely heal, and the sutures are naturally degraded and absorbed.
However, in the current situation, it can be confirmed that the organs cultivated by organ regeneration equipment can be perfectly used for organ transplantation!
The only thing that cannot be determined is how long the survival cycle of this regenerated organ has.
Theoretically, the regenerated organs should be equivalent to the age of organs when normal organisms are adults. That is to say, if organs are cultivated for humans, each organ level that is cultivated should be at the age of 18.
A completely new organ can be used normally for decades.
But all this is theory and there is no actual data to prove it.
After all, this kind of thing takes decades to prove whether it is true.
And we don't have the time to wait for decades...
So after the operation was successful and the transplanted heart worked normally and there was no rejection reaction, and after another month of observation, Chen Changan officially announced that the animal test of the organ regeneration project was successful!
The next part is about to carry out real human clinical trials!
Moreover, the clinical resistance of humans will not be particularly large!
Because what kind of patient population does the organ regeneration project face?
Heart failure, renal failure, pneumoconiosis, liver damage, etc. are almost equivalent to patients suffering from terminal illness and have a survival period of less than one year.
For these people, saving lives is their most urgent idea!
The only way to save them is organ transplantation...
However, it is very difficult to find donors for organ transplantation now. Among the patients who need organ transplantation every year, only about 1% of the patients really wait for the donor, and most of them can only die in despair.
These patients who have waited until the donor must take anti-rejection drugs for life after the organ transplant surgery is successful, and their survival has only been delayed for more than ten years.
For example, patients with heart transplants have an average survival period of only 13 years after surgery. It is not that they can live a hundred years after organ transplants, and they will have more than ten years of life!
And the life of more than ten years is hard to come by for most patients, and they usually cannot get it. They can only watch their organs fail and die in just one year.
After all, most patients with organ failure cannot wait for the donor, and in fact they only have a survival period of about one year, and are all in a stage of waiting for death.
Organ regeneration projects are a life-saving straw for them, and no matter how risky the company is, they can try it.
From a national perspective, we have to try it even more. Even if the experiment may be risky and the subjects will die, we have to try it. Only after trying can we truly find an organ regeneration surgery plan that can be suitable for all Chinese people and truly benefit the people!
Therefore, in the face of such a severe situation, when Ruikang's organ regeneration project succeeded in animal experiments, it proved that the organs it cultivated really had transplant conditions.
Even though the clinical risk is very high, the Drug Administration approved the human clinical trial of this project after comprehensive consideration!
Then Chen Changan would naturally be polite.
He immediately contacted three Grade A hospitals in Gusu City, negotiated with them to cooperate in carrying out clinical trials, and asked them to help recruit subjects.
However, there is one subject, Ruikang will personally send an invitation!
...........
In the Dabie Coal Farm under the jurisdiction of Xiangnan Coal Industry Group.
Cao Shaopeng, who had been busy mining for a day, dragged his tired body back to the dormitory, thumped and lay on the bed.
His bedside has changed a coworker at this time.
Due to pneumoconiosis, Lao Zhang has left the coal yard and found a job as a security guard outside.
However, the employee insurance paid by the company for it is still playing a role, because pneumoconiosis has been included in the occupational disease list. With the joint burden of employee insurance and medical insurance, Lao Zhang still does not have to worry about the treatment costs of pneumoconiosis.
But it is not a big deal to waste like this. Although Lao Zhang's pneumoconiosis has been controlled for more than a year, it does not mean to relieve it. This disease itself is an irreversible disease. As long as the lungs are contaminated with dust, it will be damaged forever.
Although he has stopped inhaling dust now, the originally damaged lungs cannot become healthy, and will even become harder in the future.
Doctors can only delay this process, but not cure...
When Cao Shaopeng was free after get off work, he remembered Lao Zhang's current situation and was worried about his future. He was very afraid that he would also suffer from pneumoconiosis in the future and needed to use oxygen cylinders for a long time to inhale oxygen. Then his life would be completely over...
"Dingdong, you have a new email..."
Cao Shaopeng's mobile phone screen lit up and received a push.
He was thinking about the future and habitually clicked on the email.
"Hello, Mr. Cao Shaopeng, we are Ruikang Group..."
“Recruiting now…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
“Looking forward to your friends being able to participate…………………”
