The viruses used by Professor Zhang Zhiwei in his experiments were extracted from Yang Ping's body. After these viruses were injected into Professor Zhang Zhiwei's body, they did not cause a high fever, but a continuous fever of about 38.2 degrees. The fever subsided in less than three days and the body temperature returned to normal. This kind of
The reaction was at best that of a minor cold.
It seems that this new K virus is the product of a compromise after fighting with Yang Ping's immune system, and it has good adaptability.
However, the strange thing is that these viruses entered Professor Zhang's body and behaved very weakly. They had no ability to replicate on a large scale and were basically eliminated by the immune system in three or four days.
The viruses found in the blood taken from Professor Zhang Zhiwei were genetically sequenced and it was found that there was no structural difference between them and the viruses taken from Yang Ping, but why were their habits so different?
A virus reacts in this way in most people, but sometimes it reacts in another way in some individuals. This is not impossible, but the probability is very low. For example, HIV cannot be detected in most people.
It cannot be cured. But it can heal on its own in individual people. There have been such cases in the world. But the probability is too low. There are so many AIDS patients in the world, and there is only one such special case.
The virus in Yang Ping's body has always maintained a low titer level in the body, has always existed, and has never been completely eliminated. At present, there are no adverse reactions, but in the long run, no one knows whether there will be any negative effects.
It cannot be predicted because there is no historical data as a reference for research.
Professor Zhang decided to continue studying the virus on Yang Ping as a subject, which might open up a new research field.
After several experiments, Yang Ping and Professor Zhang quickly grasped the characteristics of the virus. The fourth modified virus did not do much harm to the human body. The harm level was even lower than that of ordinary cold-causing viruses, and it was not contagious.
Sexual, so this virus with therapeutic effects is generally safe.
In order to obtain more data, Professor Zhang asked several researchers who had children in the laboratory to participate in the volunteer experiment. Without exception, the castrated virus had no ability to replicate in them, and the uncastrated virus could also be cleared by the immune system.
, the virus extracted from Yang Ping does not have the ability to persist in other people. It either cannot replicate or is easily cleared by the immune system.
In addition to continuing the experiment, the next step is to remove the virus from Yang Ping's body. Although there are no clinical symptoms for the time being, it is unknown whether it will harm the body in the future. Many viruses slowly cause harm to the human body. For example, hepatitis B virus,
It does not cause any obvious symptoms when it first infects the human body, but slowly damages the liver. As the liver damage worsens, symptoms appear step by step.

Researchers from the Virology Laboratory of Nandu Medical University, Sanbo Hospital and Nandu Medical University who participated in the experiment gathered together to discuss the next experimental plan.
The next step of the experiment must be done on osteosarcoma patients. It is meaningless to do it on healthy people. However, Sisi is unable to participate in the experiment in her current state and can only find other patients to participate in the experiment.
Finding another patient also faced ethical issues. Everyone was very embarrassed. We came together to discuss countermeasures so that we could continue the experiment and avoid ethical issues.
The structural diagram of the virus extracted from Yang Ping's body was displayed on the electronic screen. This virus has significantly mutated than the previous K virus. Its genetic sequence has changed. The mystery of life is so magical.
A simple protein structure virus can actually change itself. Where does its power come from? Why does it have such survival intelligence?
As a virology expert, Professor Zhang Zhiwei could not find the answer at all. It seems that human biological knowledge is very immature in the face of the mysteries of life in the real world.
Now all the manpower and time of the entire laboratory are devoted to the research of K-virus, and all other projects are suspended to make way for the research of K-virus.
After a lot of research and many experiments, everyone has now reached a consensus: the virus in Yang Ping's body can coexist harmoniously with the human immune system after mutation. This virus is very fragile outside the body and is also very fragile in other people's bodies.
Can survive at low titer in Yang Ping's body.
In fact, this characteristic is very consistent with this ability, because it can kill tumor cells. If something goes wrong, it may also kill normal cells, so its high degree of vulnerability makes it very safe. If it has a strong survivability
, once normal cells are killed due to some error, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, after this virus has gone through the struggle of the human immune system, in order to survive, it must change itself to become the least harmful to the human body and become more vulnerable.
"Our next step in research should be to find a tumor patient to conduct an experiment, extract the virus from Professor Yang and inject it into the tumor patient to see what the reaction is? Is it as mild as it is now? Is it able to kill tumor cells?
"Lu Xiaolu suggested.
"I agree with Professor Lu's suggestion, we must strike while the iron is hot."
Professor Zhang Zhiwei agreed. The current experimental topic has been pushed to this point by Yang Ping, and it is only one step away from success. If we are still stuck in the rules and follow ordinary procedures, we may never be able to break through. These scientific researchers are very interested in a certain
Breakthroughs in research can be said to be almost obsessive. Some people may not be able to achieve breakthroughs in their lifetime. In addition to hard work, breakthroughs also come with a bit of luck. Now Yang Ping risked his own body to seize this bit of luck.
"Now that the safety of the K virus has been confirmed, I can openly recruit volunteers for the experiment. I think many osteosarcoma patients and their families are willing to give it a try. Everyone is willing to try many unreliable and completely deceptive methods of treating tumors.
"Try, why can't we directly recruit volunteers with our completely serious laboratory methods?" someone said.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This is true in psychology. Patients in desperate situations are eager to grab a life-saving straw. Even if they know that it is unreliable, they will
I would like to believe that this is determined by people’s desire to survive, so now many so-called miracle doctors are everywhere. But
From the ethical point of view of scientific research, this is definitely not possible. It is taboo to directly recruit volunteers for clinical experiments without going through the normal process. Our laboratory must establish a golden brand in the world and must not make such low-level mistakes. We
Not a liar, but a researcher from the world's top laboratory." Tang Shun reminded everyone.
"If we still need healthy people, we can sign up now, but what we need now are tumor patients, and they must be osteosarcoma patients. It is difficult to find them. If they are not found well, it will easily cause ethical disputes. If the treatment is effective later, it will be fine.
Once it is ineffective, if there is an accident such as death, there is a high probability that it will lead to a dispute. If the dispute is taken advantage of, I am afraid that our laboratory will have to close down."
"Actually, this is nothing. Oncolytic virotherapy also uses viruses to treat tumors. Didn't the founder of this method just do no procedures and just experiment on himself?"
"It's different. Experimenting on yourself is a personal behavior, and experimenting on others is a social behavior. If you masturbate yourself, there's nothing wrong with it, but if you do it to others, it's a crime."
"What if you agree?"
"It doesn't matter if someone under 14 years of age consents. Regardless of whether they consent or not, it's rape."
Everyone was talking to each other, and the discussion was lively.
"It's a good experiment, why does it involve rape? We are treating diseases and saving people, can it be compared with rape? We have to be more careful when using metaphors, and we are just talking nonsense." Professor Zhang Zhiwei immediately criticized the two doctors under him,
It was these two doctors who just used rape as a metaphor.
However, this metaphor is quite appropriate. Nowadays, it is illegal to conduct clinical experiments on cancer patients, regardless of whether they agree or not.
"What should we do?"
"What should we do? Let's find a way."
Everyone is very anxious. Now that the experiment is at its most critical, it feels like it is about to succeed. These are all gained by Professor Yang's risks.
"I have a good idea!" Zhang Lin coughed and thought for a while.
Everyone focused their attention, wondering what this man had up his sleeve, especially the people at Nandu Medical University who were not familiar with Zhang Lin. Seeing his inscrutable appearance, they thought he was some kind of expert.
"Find one of us and use his name to recruit a few reliable volunteers. It is best to be old patients in our hospital who know the basics of the situation. Each of the patients recruited as volunteers will be given a few million.
Who wouldn’t want to get free medical treatment and get money for it, but it can’t be cured at an advanced stage anyway? If we encounter a despicable person and cause a dispute, the chosen one among us must bear the responsibility. To put it bluntly, he is the scapegoat, the one who takes the blame.
; But if the experiment is successful, he must be among the top three in the ranking of major papers on this topic."
''For the advancement of human science, I am willing to be the selected person. I will do this. If something goes wrong, I, Zhang Lin, will bear the responsibility and will never harm everyone. If there is no problem and the requirements are not high, the paper will be given to me.
Just one of the top three rankings will be enough.”
Zhang Lin said slowly, touching the thermos cup in his hand.
Damn it, who wouldn’t want to take the blame? After a lifetime of scientific research, you may not be able to get into the top three of this level of scientific research papers.
I am willing, I am willing, I am willing. A group of young masters and PhDs raise their hands high, for fear that others will take away this good job. This plan is tailor-made for them. For these boys,
What kind of reputation is nothing, how can there be any kind of reputation?
"What are you thinking, can this matter be your turn? Can you afford it if something really happens? Think about all these opportunistic things, and find someone among us directors. Only the director level is qualified to take the blame for this.
Not everyone can carry it."
Professor Zhang Zhiwei slowly raised his hand with a tragic look: "You young people have a bright future. It is not appropriate for you to take the blame. Let me do this. I am the most suitable. If something happens, I will admit that it is my fault."
, everything is on me."
Of course, if the laboratory succeeds, you have to give me the top three spots. Zhang Zhiwei didn't say it. Professor Yang ranked first. This is not controversial, but there are still two top three spots. There are several people who can have this qualification.
,Tang Shun is a surgeon at Nandu Medical University.
The director of the laboratory of the institute, Lu Xiaolu, is the director of the tumor research laboratory. Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang are his right-hand men. They participated in the whole process of the experiment. To be honest, if we evaluate their respective contributions, Zhang Zhiwei really cannot be ranked in the top three.
Being in the top five is considered good.
Who is not selfish at all? In history, some famous scientists in textbooks once fought over academic achievements to such an extent that it was jaw-dropping. I am gambling on my own reputation, which is pretty good.
Lu Xiaolu is a straightforward person: "This pot is not an ordinary pot. It may be a candidate for the Nobel Prize. We are not necessarily asking for any award. I am just talking about the weight of this topic. This topic may be able to produce several Nobel Prizes."
award."
The implication is that everyone is willing to take the blame, and this plan is a funny one.
Tang Shun couldn't stand it any longer. The discussion had become chaotic: "These matters are beyond technical matters. How can we people discuss them clearly? Let's discuss the technical details. These matters are left to our Dean Xia to handle.
That old fox of his—oh, I mean, with Dean Xia's rich experience in the administrative circle, it would be better for him to come forward in this kind of thing."
"Tang Shun is right, let's discuss the technical details and don't waste time on it." Yang Ping confirmed this opinion.

Dean Xia's office.
After Yang Ping finished expressing his thoughts, Dean Xia thought for a moment and said, "You mean to ask me to take the blame for your project, is that what you mean?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You can understand that." Yang Ping nodded.
Dean Xia rolled his eyes: "I can take the blame, but I have a condition."
Unexpectedly, Dean Xia is also a person who pursues fame and wealth. It is understandable and is human nature.
Dean Xia took a sip of tea: "You can let me take the blame, but it won't be that cheap. I have a condition: if you give me half of the tea leaves that were recently given to you by the person in your cabinet, it will be considered a deal."
Damn, so cruel!
"What? You don't agree? Let's put it aside. I have been the dean for so many years and have always been famous all over the world. If the experiment fails and encounters an ethical crisis, I will have to stand up and use my reputation to take the blame.
If we don’t apply for the late holiday, what can we do if we don’t set higher conditions?”
"But your conditions are indeed a bit high. Half, can it be less?"
"Ma'am? Please turn right when you go out."
Dean Xia immediately stood up to see off the guests.
"Okay." Yang Ping compromised.
''That's pretty much it. Don't worry. As long as the tea leaves are in place, I will make clear arrangements for you. Regardless of the success or failure of the experiment, I guarantee that it will not affect any of your experimental members."
Hey, Lao Xia, I never thought that you would not be able to escape corruption in the end.
"Is one enough? Do you want to find a few more? Now you have tried this K-virus yourself. The safety is so high. It won't be a problem for me to arrange a few more for you. The price will still be the same."
"It would definitely be better if we got more."
"In the future, don't close the door and think of a solution for this kind of thing. What solution can you bunch of scholars come up with? This kind of thing is no longer a technical matter, so for all matters other than technical matters, you can tell me directly. I promise
The arrangements for you are clear."
After the matter was done, Yang Ping left. Just as he walked to the door, he heard Dean Xia's voice again.
"Hey, Professor, I have to remind you that you must not do things like doing experiments on yourself in the future. You must never do it! Do you know that after we found out about this, we were so frightened that our whole bodies went cold?
You haven't recovered yet. This is not your fault. Your body now belongs to the country. Do you understand? If anything happens, I can't take the blame. I can blame other blames. Please!"
