Doctor: I picked up attributes in the hospital

Chapter 274 Exhortation
"Well, you said."

Professor Li Hongwei nodded, curious about what he wanted to ask.

"Professor, is there any professor in Beishi who has conducted in-depth research on gene-targeted therapy?"

Zhao Heng asked slowly.

For the "tree man" patients, if they want a radical cure, they must use gene-targeted therapy.

If it is just a simple operation, it can only solve the problem for a period of time, and it will recur again soon.

"Gene-targeted therapy? Why are you asking this?"

Hearing Zhao Heng's words, Professor Li Hongwei asked with some doubts.

"It is such a professor. Yesterday I admitted a patient with verrucous epidermal dysplasia. Because of the severe hyperplasia of verrucous neoplasms on the skin surface, I have already undergone seven operations. With the current treatment methods, if it is to be cured, You have to try gene-targeted therapy."

Zhao Heng briefly talked about the situation of the "tree man" patient with verrucous epidermis dysplasia.

"Gene-targeted therapy? At present, as far as I know, there is no medical institution or biological laboratory in China or even in the world that has the ability to use gene-targeted therapy to cure the genetic disease of epidermal dysplasia verrucous." ability."

Professor Li Hongwei thought for a while and said.

"I thought it was too simple."

Hearing Professor Li Hongwei's words, Zhao Hengcai realized that he had taken it for granted. Although epidermis verruca is a relatively rare genetic disease, the population base in China is too large. If there is a medical institution that uses gene-targeted If the disease is cured by means, then Zhao Heng will not be unable to find any news about it.

"Xiao Zhao, it's a good thing that you have the courage to explore new treatment methods. However, the genetic disease of epidermal dysplasia verrucous has not yet been cured in China or even in the world. Maybe you can give it to patients. Do a complete resection, then use stem cell culture to grow brand new epithelial cells, and then transplant them to the patient. This may have a better effect than simple skin transplantation, and the chance of recurrence will also be greatly reduced. .”

Professor Li Hongwei thought about it and made a suggestion to Zhao Heng.

Therefore, Professor Li Hongwei is worthy of being a top-level professor. His vision and insight are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary professors. If there is no way to go, he immediately used his rich experience and knowledge to propose a very constructive proposal to Zhao Heng. suggestion.

"Well, thank you professor."

Zhao Heng was a little disappointed at first. He felt that he was thinking too simple. He only thought that verrucous epidermis dysplasia was a genetic disease, so he thought about using targeted gene therapy to cure it.

But he did not take into account the current technology, which has not yet reached the level of radical cure.

But now that Professor Li Hongwei said this, he immediately understood. This time, he was the one who got into a dead end.

This also reminded Zhao Heng that not all intractable diseases he encountered could be cured.

Although his golden finger is very powerful, he can pick up and fuse other people's powerful skills and rich experience, but this kind of picking up and fusion also has its limitations.

That is, if it is something that no one in the medical field has conquered or researched, then Zhao Heng is limited to this level and cannot cure all diseases.

The patients that Zhao Heng encountered before, although they were also difficult and miscellaneous diseases, but basically all of them could be overcome or cured by the current highest level of medical technology, and this shortcoming of Zhao Heng's golden finger was not exposed.

When Zhao Heng met the current patient with a rare genetic disease, this limitation was exposed.

Manpower is sometimes poor, this is the most real feeling in Zhao Heng's heart now.

Even with a golden finger, it is not a panacea!
"Xiao Zhao, in fact, when I was young, I was like you. I thought that I could solve everything by relying on my own ability. But I didn't realize until I was this age that the first generation of EPS cells was only developed. It took almost all the energy and time of two generations of my mentor and me. So Xiao Zhao, when we do scientific research, we must have a calm mind. Sometimes, not all problems can be solved by us.”

Professor Li Hongwei spoke to Zhao Heng earnestly.

In his opinion, Zhao Heng can be said to be the most talented young man he has ever seen. This talent even surpasses all the geniuses he has ever seen.

However, Professor Li Hongwei knows better than anyone the truth that life is easy to break. The more talented you are, the harder it is to withstand setbacks. That's why he talked so much with Zhao Heng so earnestly.

"Manpower is sometimes poor."

For Professor Li Hongwei's kindness, Zhao Heng naturally felt it, and he also said such a sentence with some emotion.

"When we do research, we must maintain a spirit of striving for knowledge, but sometimes we also need to maintain awe of the world. How many diseases can be completely overcome by humans? Many diseases are said to be treated, but in fact they only relieve symptoms, and can only be regarded as palliative care at best. For some diseases, the treatment methods developed by human beings are mostly the kind that kills one thousand enemies and harms oneself eight hundred. This is far from ideal.”

Li Hongwei said with some sighs, these words were especially shocking when he said them from such a top professor of life sciences.

This pattern is something that ordinary professors cannot have.

"Thank you Professor."

Hearing Li Hongwei's sincere advice, Zhao Heng was moved and thanked again.

"Don't be so horny in the future. For the patient with verrucous epidermal dysplasia you mentioned, stem cell treatment can actually achieve very good results. Although it cannot be cured, if treated properly, the chance of recurrence is also high. It will be very low."

Li Hongwei said slowly to Zhao Heng again.

"Well, I see, Professor."

Zhao Heng nodded. The treatment method is in his hands. He still has to find a professor who is proficient in gene-targeted therapy. This time, he is a bit far away.

Coming out of the School of Life Sciences, Zhao Heng felt particularly different.

On the one hand, it was because Professor Li Hongwei developed the shocking achievement of EPS cells; on the other hand, Professor Li Hongwei's admonition to him this time made Zhao Heng deeply aware of the limitations of his golden finger.

This is very good for Zhao Heng's stable development in the future.

Man is not an omnipotent god, and it is impossible to do everything. If someone thinks he can do everything, such a person must be a lunatic.
