Yang Ping received daily inspection reports from Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang. The report mentioned Maninstein's grand plan-head transplant surgery. Unlike many other doctors who claimed to change heads, Maninstein was serious.
He is sensational and eye-catching, he has a detailed plan, and he is overcoming every technical problem in the plan.
After get off work every afternoon, Yang Ping gathered everyone in the demonstration classroom to study the inspection reports sent back by Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang, indirectly broadening their horizons and increasing their knowledge.
If you study in advance like this, when Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang come back to give lectures, everyone will not be unfamiliar with them, and the learning effect will be better.
Yu Shuilian's husband brought everyone a packed dinner, and everyone listened to the report while eating. The report was read aloud by Zhang Lin and Xiao Wu in turns.
The special box lunches provided by the Institute of Surgery are very generous and taste good. They are much better than those sold outside. Everyone ate them with gusto.
This kind of scene can often be seen in surgical institutes. Everyone is very eager to learn, and "involution" is serious. No one dares to fall behind. If nothing happens, everyone gathers together to study, discuss, and train. In this environment, there is no progress.
It's all difficult.
Xia Shu, Dr. Jin and Dr. Wen gathered together as "laggards", and Zhang Lin Xiaowu often studied and trained with them. The three of them also followed Zhang Lin Xiaowu's example and formed a team, which made learning very exciting.
It has been a long time since he had eaten the work meal delivered by Shuilien Bakery. Xia Shu has not ordered a meal on WeChat. Ever since the head nurse Cai helped him order a meal when he first came here, Xia Shu has not ordered a meal by himself, including breakfast.
The head nurse helped arrange everything clearly. If the head nurse didn't help him make arrangements one day, Xia Shu would probably be very uncomfortable. In terms of life, he was always a person who was afraid of trouble.
These inspection reports were all written by Xu Zhiliang. Each place visited was introduced in detail, including text, photos and videos. The information was very rich.
When visiting Mannstein's laboratory, everyone immediately felt how luxurious the team learning conditions were. This world-class laboratory can be visited at will.
However, when everyone saw Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang in the video, they didn't look like they were studying, but guiding work, so everyone immediately realized that their surgical research institute and supporting laboratories are not top-notch in the world.
Spinal external fixator, precise epiphyseal block technology, skin amplification technology, 13 CNS articles, the top online journal "Medicine", the world's sensational space guidance gene, in vitro non-embryonic muscle cultivation, none of these are the world's top academic achievements.
The great powers are themselves?
Everyone becomes stronger as they count in their hearts, and finally realizes that they are the strongest.
Xiao Wu replaced Zhang Lin and continued to introduce the inspection report. When Maninstein's head transplant surgery plan was mentioned, everyone was very curious.
In China, head transplant surgery is prohibited because it violates basic ethical principles.
Regarding the head transplant surgery, Yang Ping briefly introduced its history and current situation to everyone, so that everyone can understand the head transplant surgery more easily.
In fact, head transplantation surgery originated at about the same time as liver and kidney transplantation. As early as the 1950s, Soviet scientists attempted head transplantation surgery.
They transplanted the head of one dog onto the back of another dog, thus forming a weird two-headed dog. The two-headed dog only lived for three days after the operation. Because even if the head had no blood supply with the recipient dog
However, the nerves in the dog's head could not connect with the recipient dog. Since it was impossible to repair the spinal nerves, the Soviet Union later abandoned the experiment.
In the 1970s, not to be outdone, Americans also used dogs to perform head transplant surgery experiments. However, the American head transplant dogs did not survive for more than 24 hours. Later, many cases were performed with similar results. Through these surgeries, Americans also
After accumulating some experience and lessons, we also believe that the central nerves in the spinal cord cannot regenerate. As long as the regeneration of spinal nerves is not overcome, head replacement will be impossible.
Later, sporadic doctors also tried head transplant surgery, especially a doctor in Italy who was very keen on head transplant surgery, but all ended in failure. As Maninstein said, there has been no breakthrough in spinal cord repair, and head transplant surgery is a meaningless farce.
The highly publicized head transplant surgery performed in China at that time was performed by an Italian doctor. In fact, what kind of head transplant was it just to swap the heads of two corpses? This was at most a simple autopsy experiment.
With current medical technology, it is impossible for head transplant surgery to be successful. All head transplant surgeries are a farce. Some doctors use special glue to bond spinal nerves, which is simply a big joke.
In addition to the problem of regeneration and repair of spinal cord nerves, there is also the problem of anti-rejection reaction. If the head is the main body, how many organs does the body contain? With current medical conditions, in order to fight rejection, just taking anti-rejection medicine would have to kill people.
Eat to death. And vice versa.
In recent years, Maninstein has devoted most of his energy to research on spinal cord injury repair. It was originally hoped that he could perform head transplant surgery. He didn't know which nerve was wrong, but he actually became very interested in the head transplant experiment.
"Head transplant surgery is currently technically zero and ethically prohibited in most countries, including our country." After introducing the history of head transplant surgery, Yang Ping summarized the operation in one sentence.
In fact, whether an operation can be performed is a technical issue, and whether it should be performed is an ethical issue.
Nowadays, head transplant surgery has not started at all and has zero accumulation. The so-called head transplant surgery that is so noisy in the world has no technology at all.
"It would be great if the head transplant surgery could be successful. It would be a completely beneficial thing for mankind. No matter what the disease is in the future, as long as the head is healthy, there is hope that it can be saved. In the end, it will be a different body. Why do we still have an ethical prohibition?" said a regulatory practitioner.
I'm quite curious.
Yang Ping said: "We humans have lived on the earth for so long and have formed a profound set of basic ethical and moral rules. Relying on these ethical and moral rules, we deal with the relationships between people. This also reflects in some aspects why we are human beings.
Why is it different from animals? In head transplant surgery, do you say that the body is the main body or the head is the main body?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Although the body accounts for a large proportion, the head is in charge of the body, and of course the head is the main body." Another graduate student answered from the perspective of medical common sense.
"So if someone has a head transplant surgery, will the child he gives birth to be a head or a body?" Yang Ping asked everyone.
This problem is really troublesome. The idea comes from the head and the work is done by the body. Whose is the child?
Everyone was talking about it, and for a moment they couldn't decide whose child it was.
Yang Ping continued to use some ethical medical cases in history to illustrate ethical issues.
"In the 1970s, a hospital in our country performed a testicular transplantation operation. The father's testicles were transplanted to his son. The operation was successful. Later, the son married a wife and had children. Whose child does the son give birth to ethically? This caused intense ethical discussions at the time, and later testicular transplantation was banned in my country."
This case made everyone think, yes, sperm is secreted by testicles, and this testicle belongs to his father, so whose child is it? His? Or his father's? It is indeed controversial.
"Let's go back to the person who has a head transplant surgery. Let's assume that he has to have his head transplanted by the same gender. If he is a man, after the surgery, his head and body both had a wife before the surgery. Which wife will he continue to live with?"
"Living with a head wife? His wife faces a stranger's body; living with a body wife? His wife faces a strange head and consciousness."
Yang Ping just paused, and everyone immediately started discussing, who should he go with?
Indeed, there are complex ethical issues involved, but I think the ethical issues of kidney transplantation and liver transplantation are not so prominent, so people don’t pay much attention to this aspect.
Everyone has spent a little more time on the topic of head transplant surgery, and gradually gained a more comprehensive understanding of head transplant surgery.
Everyone worked hard and studied for about two hours. Finally, Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang had a video call with everyone, saying that they would continue to inspect and the time of their return was to be determined.
Zhang Lin and Xiao Wu were so happy when they heard that Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang were temporarily unable to come back to Europe.
When Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang just left, they were a little worried, fearing that they wouldn't be able to cope with it. After these few days of adaptation, they felt that they could handle it completely, and they became much more courageous.
After the small study session, everyone went about their own work. Surprisingly, many people did not get off work and immediately ran to the training room to practice basic skills. There were Zhang Lin, Xiao Wu, Dr. Jin, Dr. Wen, and Xia Shu.
Yang Ping went back to his office to rest, and also read Song Zimo's private message to him. The private message contained things that were not convenient to mention in the report, such as Manstein's willingness to be Yang Ping's Nobel Prize recommender.
Yang Ping is still interested in the Nobel Prize, and he is very interested, because the three-phase long-term task of the system space is to win the Nobel Prize. If the task is completed, the system space can reward a computer with super computing power, which is very important to Yang Ping.
Very important.
Yang Ping is a "profit-oriented" person. Since there is such a generous reward, why not fight for this Nobel Prize?
When the system assigned this long-term task, Yang Ping felt that the task was too difficult and a bit outrageous, and the possibility of achieving it was very low. After all, it was only given three years.
For something like the Nobel Prize, it does not mean that your scientific research results meet the award criteria. It is also affected by many other factors, including interference from human factors.
Now Yang Ping is fully confident in his own achievements. If Maninstein is asked to be the recommender for the Nobel Prize, with Maninstein's status in the medical academic community, it is 80% possible. If his academic achievements are combined with Maninstein's
If your influence cannot win a Nobel Prize, then the Nobel Prize is of no interest.
Just do things that are beneficial. This profit includes long-term profits and short-term profits. Yang Ping is not interested in things that are not profitable. If there are no rewards in the system space, he really has no interest in the Nobel Prize. You can play if you want to. Anyway,
I am not interested.
As for Mannstein's application to repeat the spatial guidance gene experiment, Yang Ping also readily agreed.
The purpose of Yang Ping's research, from a high point of view, is to benefit mankind and promote the progress of medicine. He originally did not want to make money from these things.
But even if he doesn't make money himself, others will use his scientific research results to make money.
Therefore, Yang Ping did not want his scientific research results to become tools in the hands of those capital predators, nor did he want his results to be shelved, so he set up a company to serve his scientific research.
Any scientific research experiment must be repeated by others before it can be recognized by the world. Experiments that cannot be repeated will be considered invalid or false.
Technology must be spread to benefit mankind, but must not be stifled or exploited by capital predators. Therefore, a balance must be struck between technology confidentiality and technology dissemination.
Fortunately, Yang Ping does not need to think too much about these matters. Tang Shun, the director of the laboratory, is a veteran in this field. He is not only a top researcher in the profession, but also good at handling these intricate relationships. He can mediate between the subjects of these relationships.
He can do it with ease, maybe he has a talent in this area.
Regarding these two matters, Yang Ping immediately replied to Song Zimo: Agree! Why are you waiting for us to come back to discuss and have everything done directly in Germany?
Yang Ping was straightforward about this kind of thing, and he didn't waste time beating around the bush. If it works, it works, and if it doesn't, it doesn't work. People in Europe are still waiting to discuss it when they come back, so they take off their pants and fart.
After handling this matter, Yang Ping saw that there was a new email in his mailbox, which was sent by Ivan.
Because Yang Ping refused Canada's invitation to perform surgery, Ivan had to complete the surgery on his own for the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Sicily, Italy.
The email contained Ivan's surgical plan, which he sent to Yang Ping to seek Yang Ping's opinion. Ivan planned to first correct the bones, then perform allograft facial transplantation or facial reconstruction on the face, and then perform skin grafting on scars all over the body.
Of course, many other soft tissues also require complex correction, such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc.
Facial surgery is the most difficult and detailed, so Ivan prepared two plans, allogeneic facial transplantation and facial reconstruction. Facial reconstruction is the first choice, while allogeneic facial transplantation requires lifelong anti-rejection drugs and cannot be the first choice.
Ivan was very meticulous before the operation. In order to achieve the best final operation effect, his operation plan was very thorough. He conducted a thorough pre-operative color ultrasound scan of the facial blood vessels and nerves of the surgical object, and then marked them one by one as possible recipients in the future.
Vascular use.
Because facial transplantation not only restores the contours of the face, but also restores facial sensation and movement, so that normal expression can be restored.
In order to achieve the most perfect surgical effect, Ivan has drawn more than 3,000 surgical drawings, and now he has sent them all.
Who has time to look at this thing of yours? There are more than 3,000 pictures. It takes too much time to look at each one one by one.
Take it easy when you have time. It's not a life-saving surgery, it's just plastic surgery. There's no rush.
Now it's time to go home. Xiao Su's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the due date is getting closer. Yang Ping wants to spend more time with his wife.
My son hasn't even landed yet, so his friends have prepared diapers, clothes, strollers, etc.
Even the interest classes in the future are being taken over by Robert. This is not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that even the child's godmother has been booked by Ning Qi. This girl is not even married yet, but she is rushing to be the child's godmother.
