Chapter four hundred and fiftieth second: dead friends do not die poor
If "Puze Latest Medicine" is not very weighty, then "cell" is absolutely convincing.
As the third-ranked magazine in the world in terms of impact factor, the influence of "Cell" is definitely not as simple as it says.
To give a simple example, if some new knowledge is published in another magazine, the first thing many people think of is is it true? Yes, the first feeling is doubt!
And if an article is published on "Cell", the first feeling of most people is: This should be true!
Because "cell" regularly releases some new guides every year, many people use these guides directly.
The whole reason is because of "cell", its name is more convincing than any other brand.
When "The Deception of Time" was released, people who were on the fence and skeptical seemed to have found a backbone. Even if they didn't say it with their mouths, they already admitted it in their hearts.
Is it true that cobalt-chromium alloy is a hoax of an era?
If true, the impact of this is really huge.
There are tens of millions of people in the world with cobalt-chromium alloy prostheses in their bodies, which means that for every dozens of people in the United States, there may be one person with cobalt-chromium alloy in their bodies.
And these people are basically older patients. Who has the most elderly patients?
Complications, all kinds of strange diseases.
After all, it is normal for people to have some physical problems as they age.
In normal times, people may think this is a normal thing. After all, people are old and their organs are failing, so it is normal to have some minor problems.
But it happened that at this time, "Cell" reported the dangers and many complications of cobalt-chromium alloy.
This makes everyone unable to help but wonder whether the discomforts and complications of their parents and elders are related to the cobalt-chromium alloy in the body?
On November 1, thousands of citizens gathered in Central Park on the streets of Detroit, USA. Wearing unique clothes and holding signs, they marched toward the Hankison Building.
This is the first time such a large-scale demonstration has occurred in Detroit in the past two decades.
The huge number of people and the grand scale shocked the passers-by!
At this time, on the top floor of the Hankison Building, Pierce looked out through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the dense crowd. He saw each of them holding a sign and wearing a special red armband around their arms. They were just standing downstairs.
Looking from a distance, you can see a few slogans:
"Hankson, please stand up and explain!"
“Where is the right to know?”
“Respond positively to cobalt-chromium alloy!”
………………
When he saw these brands, Pierce was very upset. He never imagined that "cell" would publish such a journal during the stalemate with China. This was really not a wise choice for Fenault.
However, despite being upset, Pierce did not feel scared.
Since the growth of Feinuo Group, it has experienced countless devastating disasters, large and small!
Can this little thing scare them?
We really underestimate the capabilities of a Fortune 50 company.
In Phoenix, Arizona, USA, Bukdi, the current chairman of Fino Group, came to the state government. As the largest taxpayer in Phoenix, Bukdi has a strong say in this city.
It is conservatively estimated that the Ferno Group has provided employment for nearly 30,000 people in Arizona, built the newest government building for the city, and established the most popular scholarships in state universities.
If something happens to the Feinuo Group, all this will cease to exist.
Bukedi is confident enough that the Arizona government, which has independent laws, will not let the Ferno Group do anything. Even if it does, it is not now.
The U.S. presidential election is coming soon. At this time, the friendship of a Fortune 50 company is something that everyone must strive for.
This is also the source of Bukedi’s confidence.
At the same time, many senior executives within the Ferno Group began to negotiate with many companies and companies, hoping to get help from each other.
After all, in the capitalist world, interests are the most long-term friends.

Bai Ye's proposal report has been postponed. It was an extension he applied for on his own initiative. After all, compared to the proposal report, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the shortage of prostheses caused by the lack of cobalt-chromium alloy.
Many people in China are now waiting for the emergence of a new prosthesis to replace cobalt-chromium alloy, and millions of people are waiting for a prosthesis that can be used instead.
After the issuance of the ban on sales of Fino Group, the impact has been too great, and it is getting bigger day by day.
No matter who wins, if a suitable prosthesis does not appear, the patient will be the one who suffers and is injured!
Bai Ye won, yes, cobalt-chromium alloy is a failed prosthetic material that is harmful to the human body, but so what?
Do you currently have a product that could replace cobalt chromium?
No!
This is the greatest confidence of the Ferno Group. They have been studying orthopedic prostheses for many years, and their research on new materials has never stopped, but there is still no material that can replace cobalt-chromium alloys.
The Feinuo Group believes that no matter what the outcome of this matter is, they can get through it smoothly.
Is this what Bai Ye wants to see?
Of course not!
Ever since he got the orthopedic nail, Bai Ye invited Nan Nanxi to join the institute. Since then, the research on materials in the institute has never stopped. What the orthopedic nail brings is by no means as simple as a nail.
That's a new type of material.
That material opened a door for South Africa to study new materials.
Can this absorbable high-strength material replace cobalt-chromium alloy?
This issue has been the primary issue to be solved by the research institute recently. For this reason, Bai Ye spent the whole day discussing and discussing with South Africa Creek and Moldo.
Because this pla absorbable nail is a substance that can be absorbed and decomposed by the human body, the final products are carbon dioxide and water.
However, the hardness and strength of this absorbable bone nail material are simply not comparable to that of cobalt-chromium alloy.
indeed!
At this stage, there is still no substance that can replace the market position of cobalt-chromium alloy.
Should I choose titanium alloy with lower quality?
This is equivalent to technology retreating for several years. Just like the emergence of smartphones, people are still willing to use those antique machines?
So, how can we find a new material that can replace the cobalt-chromium alloy?
It can be said that South Africa Creek has been racking its brains these days, but has not found an effective solution.
what to do?
The three people were sitting in the office, all frowning, staring at the table, racking their brains to think of a solution.
Bai Ye raised his head and stared at the ceiling in a daze when he suddenly saw a mottled spot on the ceiling, which seemed to be caused by the peeling off of the wall.
Suddenly!
An idea appeared in Bai Ye's mind!
He quickly asked South Africa Xi: "Old Nan, how long can the absorbable bone nail material last in the body?"
South Africa Creek frowned: "This new type of pla material is mainly used for fixation and can be used to make bone nails. Its strength can only last for 3-6 years. Only within six years can its strength and elasticity be maintained at a level of
If it stays in good condition for too long, it will be difficult to maintain its effects!"
"You don't want to use this material to make prostheses, do you? Lao Bai, this is not suitable. The prostheses made of this kind of material are even inferior to those made of titanium alloy or stainless steel. This kind of thing... cannot
ah!"
Bai Ye shook his head: "No, what I want to ask is, how long will it take for this new pla substance to be decomposed in the human body? How long can it remain reliable in this environment of the human body?"
South Africa Creek: "It actually takes a while for this new type of absorbable substance to be completely decomposed under normal circumstances, about ten years! Within ten years... what do you mean?!"
In the middle of speaking, Nan Nanxi suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Bai Ye in disbelief. Then he suddenly slapped the table and stood up: "Brother-in-law, you are simply a genius!"
"You mean...awesome...awesome! It's really awesome! Thanks to my brother-in-law, this situation is completely feasible!"
Bai Ye smiled when he saw that Nan Nanxi had already guessed what he was thinking. He was indeed a master of materials. He had already guessed what he was going to do before he even reminded him!
Moldo, on the other hand, looked at the two of them blankly, not knowing what he was talking about.
"You two...teacher, what are you talking about?"
South Africa Xi was impatient and couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, so he said directly: "Professor Moldo, what my brother-in-law means is that pla's new absorbable material is a stable orthopedic fixation material and can be used as a bone nail clinically.
, its stability and strength are quite good, and cobalt-chromium alloy is not without any benefits."
"However, we can definitely combine the two to create a new variety. In this way, both parties can compensate for each other's shortcomings."
Bai Ye nodded: "Yes, Moldo, I have an idea, which is to make a pla coating-like substance on the surface of the cobalt-chromium alloy. In this way, we can take advantage of the hardness and strength of the cobalt-chromium alloy.
and other physical properties, and the absorbability and non-toxicity of pla can be used to build a safe and reliable coating to prevent abnormal ionization of cobalt-chromium alloy in the human body."
"The stability and survivability of the pla absorbable material can last for about ten years, and the service life of the prosthesis is generally about ten years, and it needs to be replaced every ten years. Therefore, the pla material is perfect for these ten years.
It played a particularly perfect role!”
After hearing Bai Ye's explanation, Moldo's eyes suddenly lit up. This idea is really great!
But...why didn't I feel surprised?
He smiled slightly, this was Bai Ye, his seemingly omnipotent teacher!
Bai Ye looked at the South Africa stream and asked: "Lao Nan, what is the success rate of the product I just conceived?"
Nan Nanxi excitedly picked up a piece of paper and a pen and wrote and drew on the paper, even some molecular equations. As he wrote, he said: "Brother-in-law, you are so amazing! When you said it again, I was already
I started to think about its feasibility. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be no problem, because the plasticity of this pla substance is too strong. When we were studying this substance, we had already discovered that this plasticity can be said to be
It’s perfect for this new type of artificial prosthesis!”
No one would have thought that the research on a new type of artificial prosthesis was actually inspired by a piece of falling wall.
After the three people thought about it for a while, they immediately divided their work and started further research.

…………………………
These days, because of the cobalt-chromium alloy incident, the entire industry has been in an uproar. Even the American NBC TV station and many other media have begun to report on the cobalt-chromium alloy incident.
After all, this matter involves too much and involves too much, and it is no longer a matter of the Feinuo Group.
Feinuo Group is rich and powerful, and its backend is not comparable to that of ordinary companies.
But those small companies are different. They have no background. They originally wanted to follow the Feinuo Group to eat meat and drink soup. Now even the Feinuo Group is a little cautious and has to let these people around them.
The company began to find its own way out for the future.
Because, if something happens to cobalt-chromium alloy, it will definitely be those small companies that have the problem.
It has been half a month since the supply of domestic cobalt-chromium alloys was stopped. This half month is not an optimistic thing for companies whose capital chains are always tight.
During this tense period, the domestic health department issued a notice:
"Regarding the use of cobalt-chromium alloy artificial prostheses, according to relevant research by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, cobalt-chromium alloys do have obvious side effects on... I hope patients, their families, and medical staff will be cautious when choosing artificial prostheses!
"
Although this announcement does not prohibit the use of cobalt-chromium alloy, it does clearly illustrate the dangers of this cobalt-chromium alloy prosthesis!
This is an order announcement issued by the state, and its accuracy is beyond doubt. Patients who originally wanted to undergo joint replacement surgery started to look at it sideways.
How will this matter be resolved in the end?
At this time, Bai Ye had already sent Monica to secretly contact the medical institutions that produce and develop cobalt-chromium alloys to prepare for the next step.
On November 3, this day, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration finally spoke!
This is the first time the FDA has made a public statement since the cobalt-chromium alloy incident. As the safety review agency of the United States and even many countries around the world, their authority is too high.
“When a series of problems with cobalt-chromium alloys were exposed, our regulatory bureau immediately conducted various reviews of cobalt-chromium alloys on the market. After review, it was found that the quality of cobalt-chromium alloy prostheses on the market was uneven.
Even safety and reliability are difficult to unify!”
"This is a dereliction of duty on our part. Cobalt-chromium alloy is a new alloy material with high technical difficulty and high technological content. In the next time, we will strengthen the review of cobalt-chromium alloys. For those products on the market that have safety issues,
Hidden cobalt-chromium alloy companies will strictly deal with it."
"The FDA will set up a special committee for cobalt-chromium alloys to conduct a public review of cobalt-chromium alloy products and conduct a comprehensive investigation of medical companies currently qualified for production and sales. The consultant for this committee is Mr. Pierce from Hankison Company.
He has extensive experience in the field of cobalt-chromium alloys…”
The announcement of this news immediately detonated the entire cobalt-chromium alloy circle!
A dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist?
Feinuo Group is trying to push the blame!
What the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said is thought-provoking!
