Doctor: I picked up attributes in the hospital

Chapter 222 Somatic Cell Culture Proliferation-Application of Branching Technology
Eleven in the morning.

East Hospital Pathology Room and Cell Culture Center.

Zhao Heng stood in front of the biological equipment for cell culture, frowning.

Qu Xiaofeng, the attending pathologist, looked at Zhao Heng and frowned, and couldn't help saying, "Doctor Zhao, these equipment are already the best for culturing cells in the hospital."

Dongfang Hospital has not established a dedicated cell culture center. The only cell culture equipment is placed in the pathology room, which is managed by the pathology department. After all, the pathology department also often conducts cell biopsy, which is more or less related.

But the equipment here is obviously different from the laboratory of Professor Li Hongwei, School of Life Sciences, Yenching University, by more than one grade.

This is also normal, one is a hospital, and the other is a top biological laboratory in the country. It is natural that there is a gap in the equipment.

"Doctor Qu, how long have you bought these devices?"

Zhao Heng asked Qu Xiaofeng.

"I remember that I bought it five years ago. At that time, stem cell therapy was just emerging, so the hospital bought these devices, but no one specialized in research in this area, and these devices were left idle."

Qu Xiaofeng thought for a while and said.

Five years ago, when the concept of stem cell therapy first emerged, almost all the top hospitals in the country were gearing up to make a big splash in the emerging field of stem cell therapy, and Dongfang Hospital was no exception, so Spend huge sums of money to buy these imported equipment.

"Doctor Zhao, these devices should be okay. I heard that the hospital spent almost 3000 million to buy these devices five years ago."

Seeing Zhao Heng's dissatisfied look, Qu Xiaofeng couldn't help saying.

3000 million, although it is not a traumatic figure for a top hospital, it is still a big investment.

In fact, the equipment in the top hospitals is very expensive. Among other things, the imported nuclear magnetic resonance (MRI) is only the popular version of 1.5T, which costs at least 1000 million.

But if it is a 3.0T and high-field-strength nuclear magnetic resonance instrument whose core technology is mastered abroad, the price will be 3000 million to 5000 million.

In this way, the investment of 3000 million yuan is actually not too high.

Therefore, these instruments can do basic stem cell research. As for deeper research, it is impossible to do only with these grades of equipment.

Doing scientific research is very expensive. For example, Professor Li Hongwei's annual research funding is at least hundreds of millions.

"No matter how good the equipment is, after five years, it is a bit outdated, but it is still usable."

Zhao Heng thought for a while and said, Dongfang Hospital's equipment for cell research is naturally incomparable with that of Professor Li Hongwei's laboratory at the School of Life Sciences of Yanjing University.

Zhao Heng picked up the experience of Professor Li Hongwei, and worked with Professor Li Hongwei in the No. [-] laboratory for a few days. He has gotten used to the high-end instruments in the laboratory of Yenching University, and it is relatively backward to use the Oriental Hospital. It is inevitable that you will be a little uncomfortable with a new generation of instruments.

Forget it, the mother doesn't think the child is ugly, the dog doesn't think the family is poor, at least the equipment bought by tens of millions, although it can't compare with the hundreds of millions of equipment from Professor Li Hongwei, but at least it can be used.

If there is no such equipment, Zhao Heng will have to borrow the laboratory to use it, and the cost will be even higher.

It was beyond Zhao Heng's expectation that Dongfang Hospital could have these equipments.

"What project is Dr. Zhao going to do this time? Is it stem cell culture?"

Qu Xiaofeng asked with great interest.

Since Zhao Heng invited Professor Li Hongwei to cure Sun Xinxin with neural stem cell therapy, there are not a few doctors who are interested in stem cell therapy, and Qu Xiaofeng is naturally one of them.

Moreover, he is a pathologist, and he has a lot of dealing with cells. He naturally wants to know about stem cell therapy, a very cutting-edge and high-end treatment method.

Think about it, if he masters the technology of stem cell therapy, his status in the hospital will rise, and he may not only be a pathology doctor, but spend every day on the microscope.

"This time it is for somatic cell proliferation and culture."

Zhao Heng said.

"Somatic cell proliferation and culture? What is it used for?"

Seeing that Zhao Heng said that he was not doing stem cell culture, Qu Xiaofeng became interested. Could it be that Zhao Heng has also mastered other technologies.

Ever since Zhao Heng followed Professor Li Hongwei for a while, everyone in the hospital was thinking that Zhao Heng must have learned the core technology of Professor Li Hongwei, so naturally more people wanted to learn from Zhao Heng.

But now this opportunity is Qu Xiaofeng taking the lead.

"This time, we are going to do tumor biotherapy, mainly to proliferate immune cells in vitro and use them to reinfuse tumor growth. This is a branch technology of cell fate regulation."

Zhao Heng explained.

"Tumor biological therapy? This is also a very new treatment method. I heard that there are only a few hospitals in the country that are doing this."

Hearing what Zhao Heng said, Qu Xiaofeng said in surprise.

This Zhao Heng can always make some very surprising moves, and he is very pioneering.

Whether it's the implantation of an analgesic device in the spinal canal, or the restoration of brain function by neural stem cells, up to the current biological treatment of tumors, Zhao Heng seems to have always been very thoughtful in terms of treatment. He does not stick to the rules, but is very good at innovation and pioneering.

"Well, I received a patient in the past two days. It is a primitive neuroectodermal tumor, which grows very rapidly, and the location of the growth is still in the orbit. If you don't want to find a way to inhibit the tumor growth and shrink the tumor, there is no way to do radical surgery."

Zhao Heng explained again.

Qu Xiaofeng is a very good person. Strictly speaking, these devices are managed by the pathology department, but now that Zhao Heng wants to use them, Qu Xiaofeng is also very cooperative.

This reciprocation, Zhao Heng naturally wanted to talk more with Qu Xiaofeng.

"Primitive neuroectodermal tumor? The degree of malignancy of this tumor is very high."

Hearing what Zhao Heng said, Qu Xiaofeng said in surprise.

Is this Zhao Heng starting to challenge the impossible again? !

As a senior pathologist in charge, what Qu Xiaofeng does every day is to make various cell slices, then identify various tumors, and issue various reports. It can be said that he is one of the best in Dongfang Hospital for his understanding of tumors.

It is because of his understanding of tumors that he knows that this primitive neuroectodermal tumor is quite malignant and progresses very quickly. At least he has heard that no one who has this tumor can survive for more than a year.

"Give it a try."

Zhao Heng said calmly.
