Bai Ye's topic on the cobalt-chromium alloy removal plan has aroused heated discussion in China after it was launched, but on the other side of the ocean, in the United States, it seems that not many people are paying attention.
Whether it was the media, the Pasik Research Institute or Harvard Medical School, where this scientific research was conducted, the other parties seemed to turn a deaf ear to this matter.
The calmness after the hustle and bustle may be the best catalyst.
After the project started, Bai Ye suddenly discovered that the cost of this scientific research suddenly became tight.
This research is mainly divided into six large groups. Each large group has one person in charge, and there are several groups under each large group to conduct collaborative research.
The removal plan for cobalt-chromium alloy is not as simple as you think. It just removes cobalt-chromium free substances in the body.
This is not the case, because cobalt chromium ions will undergo some reactions under the stimulation of chloride ions and various internal environments of the human body, so that they stay in different tissue cells, thus affecting the physiological functions of normal tissues.
This research is exactly what Bai Ye needs to conduct.
Only by finding out where these rare metals stay and how they interfere with the human body can this problem be completely solved.
Professor Cheng Ran proposed a method for the developer to search for cobalt chromium ions, which is to use the specific characteristics of cobalt chromium metal and use a contrast agent that is highly sensitive to it. This contrast agent should have no side effects on the human body and be safe.
, using this contrast agent injection, after the injection, the contrast agent will have some subtle reactions with cobalt chromium ions, and the remaining cobalt chromium ions can be observed with the help of auxiliary equipment.
This suggestion pushed the experimental process forward by several parts.
Scientific researchers have indeed discovered one after another that cobalt chromium ions stay in the human body, mainly distributed in some small blood vessels, such as the small blood vessels of the kidneys, and the gastric fundus blood vessels and other digestive tracts.
However, continued research has found that this accumulation is unlikely to affect the human nervous system.
So, the next step of research continues.
The steps of scientific research are actually like this: keep moving forward, then keep going back, and overturn again and again, but every time you overturn, there are unexpected gains and surprises.
When the experiment was in progress, Zeng Xinguo found Bai Ye, hoping to participate in a project.
As the vice president of Tsinghua Union Medical College, Zeng Xinguo has been nominated for academician many times, but has never been approved. The main factor is the lack of major achievements and awards.
Now Bai Ye is studying the cobalt-chromium alloy removal plan, while Zeng Xinguo is taking a different approach and finding a new idea, from the prognosis of rehabilitation medicine and orthopedic diseases, on how to improve the rehabilitation of patients who have used cobalt-chromium alloy in the future.
Speaking of which, Bai Ye has already had this idea, but he is too busy now and has no time to do it. He can only push it back. Rehabilitation medicine itself is a relatively complex subject, and it requires many aspects.
Rehabilitation from various angles not only involves issues related to cobalt-chromium alloys, but also includes issues related to many orthopedic diseases.
Unexpectedly, Zeng Xinguo actually found me.
"Dean Zeng, it's not that I won't help you, but the current research progress is really too fast. As the person in charge of the project, I really have no time to step away, so... I can only say I'm sorry."
Zeng Xinguo smiled awkwardly, touched his nose, and lowered his raised hand.
He touched his hair awkwardly and smiled to himself. How could he not know the importance of this matter? Competing with institutions like Harvard and the Pasik Institute was very stressful. He was not okay.
Looking for trouble?
In fact, Bai Ye is also a little embarrassed. If Zeng Xinguo comes to him at another time, he probably won't refuse. After all, on the one hand, the other party is the dean of Xiehe, and he should accept it no matter what aspect he is in. Secondly, he is still the president of Xiehe.
There is the level of Li Ziyan in it.
Now he and Li Ziyan are getting along very well, but it's just because they have been too busy recently and have no time to deal with relationship problems. When this period of work is over, they are ready to spend time with her. If the relationship is stable, they may be able to get married.
Bai Ye couldn't think of any reason to refuse, either emotionally or rationally, but now he was really at his wits' end.
But...at this time, Bai Ye suddenly remembered something.
I drew a lottery once: Rehabilitation and Acupuncture.
Bai Ye has a deep understanding of the efficacy of facial paralysis recovery acupuncture, but he did not have time to study it in depth later because of the problem of cobalt-chromium alloy.
But restorative acupuncture should be a good thing.
Moreover, the introduction of this acupuncture method transmitted through the system is very obvious, mainly for treating the sequelae of stroke.
For example, hemiplegia after cerebral infarction, hemiplegia and weakness caused by cerebral hemorrhage recovery period, numbness of hands and feet, unilateral limb weakness, and hesitant speech are very effective.
The sequelae of stroke have always been a difficult problem at home and abroad, and the recovery of this disease has always been a very difficult direction.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye's eyes became hot.
If this project is completed, it will definitely be a good thing and a big event!
Because there is no way to deal with this kind of numbness abroad, Bai Ye himself is engaged in encephalopathy, so he is relatively familiar with modern medical research on encephalopathy.
Acupuncture is much more recognized in the world than traditional Chinese medicine.
Including foreign countries, there are many people who do not recognize traditional Chinese medicine, including the World Health Organization, FDA, European health system, etc., who will not allow approval.
But now acupuncture is very popular around the world, including in professional sports leagues such as the NBA, and many athletes can receive acupuncture physical therapy.
This direction still has great research direction and research potential.
Compared with the problem of cobalt-chromium alloy postoperative recovery...
How do you say this?
After all, Bai Ye will use new cobalt-chromium alloy materials in the future. He can't just tell Zeng Xinguo that the thing you are researching is useless?
After all, his new materials are still in the experimental and confidential stage, no one knows about it yet, and Bai Ye doesn't want others to know.
So, after thinking about this, Bai Ye decided to give Zeng Xinguo a clear path.
Moreover, Bai Ye definitely didn't have time for the research on acupuncture. Instead of cooperating with Zeng Xinguo and letting him take charge of this research, Bai Ye had already applied for patent protection for the rehabilitation acupuncture.
It won't affect too much, and the results will definitely have its own effect.
Thinking of this, Bai Ye suddenly said: "Dean Zeng, actually... I don't think you need to study the matter of cobalt-chromium alloy. This road is not smooth yet. I have a suggestion..."
