Chapter 1222 Good News

Listen to what you're saying? I don't need to work anymore. Your twisted theories are just toxic chicken soup, and Yang Ping hates toxic chicken soup the most.

Anyway, Zhao Wenbo is not a formal doctor here, only a graduate student. The research institute will not hire him after graduation. Zhao Wenbo has also given Yang Ping advice more than once.

Making suggestions is a good thing, and Yang Ping encouraged everyone to make suggestions. However, what kind of suggestions did Zhao Wenbo make? He suggested that Yang Ping cancel the English score requirement for doctoral entrance examinations, and that Yang Ping prohibit doctors in the department from publishing papers in English... What kind of suggestions were these?

Seeing that Yang Ping was also impatient, Tang Shun interrupted Zhao Wenbo, saying, "Dr. Zhao, we will discuss your question later. Now is not the time to discuss this."

Other doctors also disliked Zhao Wenbo because he would readily label others, so they particularly hated him.

When others learn English, he criticizes Chinese people for speaking foreign languages, showing a complete lack of confidence in their own language. English is merely a tool; over 90% of medical papers are written in English. How can one read papers without learning English? This has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not someone is a Westernizer.

In fact, Zhao Wenbo's English is not very good. Although he can pass the exams, his application skills are terrible. Therefore, he always opposes learning English. When he sees a colleague who practices English regularly, he will label him as unpatriotic and lacking national pride.

If someone catches a cold and doesn't see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, he will criticize them for lacking cultural confidence, blindly worshipping Western medicine, and insisting on taking Western medicine when a dose of traditional Chinese medicine would suffice.

This guy not only enjoys doing these things, but he also acts like a moral guardian and loves to wallow in self-pity. He always feels that he is the only one who is sober while everyone else is drunk, and that others do not understand him or his good intentions.

Everyone's time is precious, and we can't let him continue to mess around like this. After Tang Shun finished his report, everyone adjourned the meeting.

After the meeting, Dr. Zhao Wenbo caught up with Tang Shun and pulled him aside: "Dr. Tang, let's talk..."

Tang Shun's statement at the meeting that he would talk to Zhao Wenbo afterward was just a polite remark. He didn't have time to argue with Zhao Wenbo. Besides, he and Zhao Wenbo were not even in the same league. If it weren't for the research institute's spirit of equality and inclusiveness, Zhao Wenbo wouldn't even have the chance to say a word to Tang Shun in other workplaces.

“Dr. Tang, you should consider what I said today…” Zhao Wenbo chased after him and said.

Tang Shun didn't stop: "If you really want to be a good person, then donate your salary. If you keep talking like this, I really will stop your allowance."

Because the doctors in the ward and the researchers in the laboratory are all participants in many research projects, Zhao Wenbo also receives a stipend from the research institute, which is quite substantial.

Hearing Tang Shun say this, Zhao Wenbo dared not follow any further and stopped in his tracks.

A PhD student next to Tang Shun said, "Dr. Tang, there's something strange about Zhao Wenbo. Didn't he say he would donate over a billion yuan to help patients all over the world? Why won't he agree to have his salary docked by a thousand yuan?"

"Because he really does earn a thousand a month! As for the billions, that's not his money, so of course he doesn't need to worry about it. He's a typical keyboard warrior, and these kinds of people are the most despicable. They always stand on the moral high ground to criticize others. It's easy for them to talk when they're not the ones suffering. Just ignore him. He'll be graduating with his master's degree in a few months, right?"

"I've heard that's true, but I don't know the specifics," the PhD student said.

Tang Shun glanced back at Zhao Wenbo: "This kind of person definitely can't stay after graduation. He completely disregards everyone's interests for his so-called moral superiority. He's the kind of person who betrays us at crucial moments. Don't be fooled by how nice he usually is. Last time at the meeting, when we arranged for people to go to top laboratories in Europe and America to study, it seems that he was the one who objected, saying that this was worshipping foreign things and lacking confidence in science and technology."

"Yes, that's him!" The doctor remembered it very clearly.

Tang Shun smiled and said, "That's because he doesn't have the ability to get a spot to go abroad. If you give him a spot, I guarantee he'll be more eager than anyone else, and he definitely won't come back after he goes abroad."

At this point, Tang Shun thought of one of his classmates, who has now obtained a green card in the United States and is working there.

At the time, Tang Shun was awarded a government-funded scholarship to study abroad. At the graduation party, his classmate gave a passionate speech, denouncing the United States, Britain, Germany, and France as worthless, and vehemently questioning Tang Shun why he didn't stay in China to contribute but instead went abroad.

Tang Shun was dumbfounded. It's true that many people who study abroad don't come back, but many others do return to contribute to the country. Studying abroad is about learning advanced scientific and cultural knowledge so that you can make a better contribution when you come back. Of course, some people choose not to come back, but that's just a personal choice.

How did studying abroad become a betrayal? Thinking of that classmate, Tang Shun also thought of Zhao Wenbo. They were the same kind of people, who were more righteous than anyone else on the surface, but who knew what they were really thinking?

"Anyway, I definitely don't want this person to stay in our lab," Tang Shun said.

The PhD student agreed: "Judging from Professor Yang's reaction just now, Professor Yang also dislikes him quite a bit. He even wants to take Professor Yang's doctoral exam, so Professor Yang probably won't agree to let him stay."

"I heard that he went to see Professor Yang several times, suggesting that Professor Yang cancel the English requirement for doctoral admission. He said that English was useless and a waste of everyone's time. He formally brought this up with Professor Yang several times, and it is said that he even wrote a letter of 10,000 words. Professor Yang was very annoyed by him."

This PhD student knew a little about Zhao Wenbo, because Zhao Wenbo's views were rather eccentric, making him a distinctive figure that everyone could remember.

For example, after this meeting, Tang Shun will remember this Dr. Zhao.

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Having someone like that in the department really affects everyone's mood. We're quite busy with our next phase of work. The research institute is expanding, and the site selection for the super laboratory over there has been completed. We need to gradually recruit a large number of top medical research talents from around the world to build a strong research team." Tang Shun had no interest in Zhao Wenbo. Let him argue with whoever he wants; he'll just ignore him.

"I heard the government gave us a plot of land of over a thousand acres. Is this huge area all our research institute's territory?" The doctor was quite curious. Anyway, it's all over the place now. This super laboratory has a total investment of over 10 billion yuan.

When choosing the site, Tang Shun went to see it. He said, "That's right, otherwise why call it a super laboratory? Think about it, a genius like Professor Yang, the country will definitely build a strategic laboratory around him. I used to think I was a genius, but after meeting Professor Yang, I realized that I was just a soldier A among 100,000 heavenly soldiers."

"How can he have so much knowledge in his head? Every time we have an academic discussion, no matter which book, paper, knowledge point, or problem we're talking about, he knows it all and is very familiar with it. That's what true profound knowledge is. I think he is the real profound knowledge." The PhD student looked at him with admiration.

"There's nothing we can do about it. That's how geniuses are. If you and I, mere mortals, could figure it out, then we wouldn't be geniuses." As Tang Shun spoke, the elevator doors opened, and they had arrived at the laboratory.

Sisi's treatment phase needs to be summarized again. Song Ziming led everyone to analyze the follow-up data. This treatment brought surprising news: the tumor could no longer be seen on various imaging images, which means that she has been cured?
CAR-T cell therapy can achieve a complete cure for some tumors that it is sensitive to, such as B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. However, a major drawback of cell therapy is that it is only effective for hematologic malignancies and has a very poor effect on solid tumors.

Could K therapy now demonstrate the same curative effect of cell therapy on hematologic malignancies as osteosarcoma? Song Ziming was very surprised by the recent follow-up examination. He immediately called Yang Ping over to verify it. Yang Ping carefully compared the images after this course of treatment. Indeed, the tumor image was decreasing, and the last few images showed no tumor image at all, and the image was very clean.

"These are pathological examinations from multi-point puncture biopsies. Wen Ruzheng personally reviewed all of these slides." Song Ziming then pulled up the pathology report.

Post-treatment follow-up examinations included biopsies of puncture-accessible tumors and a final pathological examination, in which no tumor cells were found in any of the pathological sections.

Of course, this only means that the tumor has been eliminated on a macroscopic level. If there are still some scattered tumor cells on a microscopic level, no medical means can detect them at present. Therefore, it is not certain whether the tumor has been completely cured. Long-term follow-up examinations are needed to make a final determination.

However, it is certain that the treatment was very effective; at least after the treatment, existing medical methods could not detect any residual lesions.

"These are some tumor marker tests. Professor, look, all these indicators are within the normal range. They were all a little high before." Song Ziming pulled up the test results one by one.

It seemed highly likely that the tumor had been cured, and Yang Ping couldn't help but feel a slight ripple of excitement.

"The chances of a cure are extremely high. Continue with regular check-ups. Next time, remember to have plastic surgery done on the scar on her right thigh to remove it," Yang Ping instructed.

“I remember this.”

Song Ziming and the doctors around him were extremely excited. This was the result they had been waiting for. For the first time in clinical practice, K therapy had completely cured a patient. This was an absolutely landmark event, as it could have such a good effect on solid tumors.

"Call Sisi's parents over and tell them the news," Yang Ping said.

One of the graduate students immediately stood up and ran outside to find the head nurse, asking her to call Sisi's mother over. Sisi's mother immediately called her husband. The couple had been running around trying to cure their child's illness, even selling their house. They had given up hope, but now their child's tumor had completely disappeared.

Sisi's mother thought she had misheard and checked several times before she dared to believe it. She and Sisi's father, who had rushed over, went to the doctor's office together.

“Professor Yang…” they said breathlessly.

Yang Ping gestured for them to sit down, pointed to the images on the screen and said, "I have good news for you. This is Sisi's most recent follow-up examination. All the original tumor lesions have disappeared from these images, and our multiple biopsy pathological examinations have not found any tumor cells. Various marker test indicators have also returned to normal."

"Is it completely cured?" Sisi's mother asked excitedly.

Yang Ping's statement was more objective: "We can't say that for now. If subsequent examinations maintain this level and there are no signs of recurrence, then it means that it has been completely cured, which is what we call a cure."

"Professor Yang means that it seems to be cured for now, but to make a final determination, we need to see the follow-up examination. If the follow-up examination shows no problems, then it will be completely cured," Sisi's father explained to Sisi's mother in his own words.

"I know I know……"

When Sisi's mother heard the news, she didn't know what to say. She just stared blankly at the screen and then started to cry.

They've had such a tough time these past few years. When they sold their house to pay for their child's treatment, their relatives all advised against it, saying it would mean losing both their money and their child, going bankrupt, and that it wasn't worth it. They said they should just let nature take its course and have another child later.

But Sisi was such a sensible child. After discussing it, the couple decided that they would treat her no matter the cost. It wasn't about money or whether she could be cured. If they didn't do it, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

Later, they came to Sanbo Hospital, where they unexpectedly met a benefactor. With Professor Yang's help, Sisi's condition was stabilized, and then she was slowly treated with new methods. During this time, they also experienced twists and turns, including life-threatening situations. She even had to undergo emergency craniotomy once. They have come this far step by step. Now that they hear this news, how could the couple not be happy and excited?

Sisi's father is a tough guy, but now his eyes are filled with tears.

"Professor Yang, thank you, thank you and the doctors and nurses at the institute. I don't know what to say right now." Sisi's father pulled Sisi's mother to kneel down to express their gratitude; their emotions had completely spiraled out of control.

Yang Ping quickly helped them up: "Please don't do this. This is the result of our joint efforts. Without your absolute trust in me, we wouldn't have achieved this result today. I also want to thank you for your trust."

"Is Sisi in school now?" Yang Ping asked.

Sisi's parents nodded, and Yang Ping said, "When she comes home from school, tell her the news. Even if she doesn't say it, she'll feel a little burdened."

"I know, okay, we'll go pick her up early later." Sisi's mother wiped away her tears.

Yang Ping was also filled with emotion. He remembered very clearly that Sisi was admitted by Professor Zhang Zongshun. He said at the time, "Let's do our best. If I don't take her in after she gets a perfect score, who will? I know there's no way now, but it's still a glimmer of hope for the child."

At the time, some doctors in the department objected to Professor Zhang admitting Sisi to the hospital because of the cost. However, Professor Zhang stated that he would not let the doctors in the department bear the cost and that he would take full responsibility.

At that time, Yang Ping was just an attending physician, and there was no K therapy available. Yang Ping studied Sisi's condition and found that radiotherapy and chemotherapy could no longer be administered, as they would completely destroy the body's immune system. With no other option, he could only come up with an unconventional method: using the ultrasound of the HIFU knife to precisely target the tumor. This method gave Sisi some time to recover.

Later, even HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) became ineffective. Fortunately, Yang Ping had been researching K-therapy at that time. He didn't have high expectations for K-therapy at the time; he just wanted to give it a try.

Without the absolute trust of Sisi's parents and Sisi herself, Yang Ping would not have dared to use this immature new treatment directly on the patient. However, Sisi and her parents had absolute trust in Yang Ping. No matter what, their life was in Yang Ping's hands, and they would accept whatever the outcome was and would not regret it.

Yang Ping did not disappoint them; all the test results now show no trace of the tumor.
