Chapter 298: Li Quan's Conditions
As soon as he reached the downstairs of the teaching and research building, Li Quan saw Deputy Director Yang and his daughter walking out of the corridor.
It was somewhat unexpected that the two sides met here.
Deputy Director Yang showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, but it was fleeting.
"Hello, Director Yang! Are you bringing your daughter to visit the American experts again?" Li Quan knew clearly the purpose of Deputy Director Yang bringing his daughter here.
See through it but don't point it out.
Just know it in your heart.
"Well, the experts who came are the top experts in the United States. My daughter is also studying medicine and is still studying. She is very eager to learn and insisted that I bring her here to consult with foreign experts on some academic issues. I had no choice but to fulfill her wish."
Director Yang lied without blinking an eye.
He has mastered the art of coloratura leadership to perfection.
What academic questions are you asking? Aren’t you just bringing your daughter to Professor Aixen to treat her hemophilia?
Li Quan even knew that he had paid one million yuan.
I'm just too lazy to expose it.
"Oh, it's true that a good father has a good daughter. Director Yang is so great and holds a high position, but I didn't expect that your daughter is even better than you. She is still a student, but she is eager to get promoted. She never misses any opportunity for promotion. I admire you."
Li Quan flattered the emperor against his conscience.
It's not that he's disgusting.
It's just a show for survival.
The deputy director of the Health Bureau, let alone him, a small resident doctor, even bigwigs like Dean Tan and Professor Liu dare not offend this person.
It will do you no harm to have a good relationship with Deputy Director Yang.
If he makes others unhappy and throws a pair of small shoes at Li Quan, he may never get ahead in his life.
The girl following behind Director Yang looked at Li Quan shyly, smiled at him politely, and then lowered her head. At the same time, she secretly pushed Director Yang's arm.
"Doctor Li, we have something else to do so we'll leave first. We'll talk another day!"
"Take care!"
Li Quan watched Deputy Director Yang and his daughter leave.
Li Quan would never help such a clever person, even if he saw him suffer losses.
Because if you kindly reach out to pull him, he may not be happy.
He will also blame you for meddling in his affairs and ruining his business.
Li Quan would never do anything without seeking any benefit.
He walked straight to Laboratory No. 4.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Professor Aixen and his team working together in an orderly manner to develop a therapeutic agent specifically for Sophie's type of leukemia.
"Hey, Axen!"
Li Quan walked into the laboratory and greeted Axen and others with a smile.
"Li, my team and I have conducted a series of tests and experiments on Miss Su's blood and bone marrow samples. We have tested Miss Su's red blood cell system, white blood cell system, platelets, megakaryocyte system and non-hematopoietic cells, as well as her genetic genes, personal DNA sequence and many other items."
These days, Axen and his team have been busy in the laboratory.
The professionalism of this team is beyond doubt.
In an unfamiliar environment with relatively backward testing equipment, they still overcame numerous difficulties and conducted so many tests and experiments. It is really remarkable.
"We are currently conducting a series of observations and measurements, and have found the cause of the disease from the differentiation pattern of Miss Su's blood cells. The cause of her disease appeared in the second stage of differentiation."
"Her leukemia type and that girl's leukemia type are both undifferentiated myeloid leukemia (M1)."
"The two people's immune deficiencies are basically similar."
Aixen carefully introduced the test results and their inferences to Li Quan.
"Li, as long as we can successfully develop a biological activity test for treating this type of leukemia, I am sure that all leukemia patients of this type will be cured in the future. It is safer than radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and bone marrow transplantation. As for whether it will relapse, it is not clear yet. We need to wait until the biological reagent is successfully developed and let patients use it, and then take blood samples from patients to test the amount of trace residual lesions."
Axen's eyes lit up when he talked about the prospects of this biological reagent.
This is an exploration of higher levels of medical knowledge.
"If we can really develop this kind of drug, it will definitely benefit all of humanity." Li Quan's blood disease treatment is more advanced than the biological reagents developed by American experts.
However, it has great limitations.
First of all, a person’s energy and time are limited.
Even if he didn't eat or drink every day, he couldn't cure many patients. There are at least more than a million leukemia patients in the world. This is an extremely large patient group.
What’s even more frightening is that new leukemia patients are born every day.
The prescriptions specifically used to treat childhood blood diseases have no limitations. They can be made directly and the patient can just take them according to the dosage.
Li Quan basically doesn't need to worry about anything.
After this prescription is passed on to other doctors, they can also prescribe it to treat leukemia patients.
But what about acupuncture?
This is a test of a physician's experience, knowledge of acupuncture points, acupuncture techniques, etc. Without three to five years of teaching by words and deeds, it is impossible to cultivate it.
When a novice gives a patient an injection with a silver needle, even if it is the shortest inch needle, it is considered good if it can pierce the patient's skin in one go.
As for wanting to successfully pierce the muscle layer in one go, or even break through obstacles such as tendons, tendons, and cartilage, forget it.
In addition, there is a saying in acupuncture: A slight error can lead to a huge mistake.
What does this mean?
That is to say, it is difficult to accurately identify human acupuncture points.
For example, everyone knows the temples. Everyone may know that the temples are on both sides of the forehead.
But what about the exact location?
I'm afraid only some experienced old Chinese medicine practitioners can accurately locate it.
It can be seen that if Li Quan wants to pass on the acupuncture technique for treating leukemia to others, it will take more than three to five years. The effect is slow, and the number of apprentices he can teach is also limited.
In addition, doing anything requires talent.
It may be difficult to find a disciple with a talent for acupuncture.
In addition to the fact that acupuncture treatment for leukemia is difficult to scale up in a short period of time, the Five Animal Exercises should never be easily passed on to others.
This also hinders the large-scale promotion of specialized treatment for childhood blood diseases.
If these American experts can really develop a biological agent to cure leukemia, as long as it is proven to be effective through clinical trials, it can be easily promoted throughout the world.
"Li, I need your help. It would be best to call your teachers over to help now."
"The difficulties we encountered in developing this bioactive agent may only be solved by you Chinese medicine practitioners."
Professor Aixen was still thinking that there was an even more powerful Chinese medicine teacher behind Li Quan.
This left Li Quan speechless.
This pot should have been taken by Dean Tan.
Now he has to carry it alone.
It takes ten lies to make up for one lie.
Ten lies require a hundred lies to cover them up...
This will be an extremely terrible vicious cycle, just like the black-hearted online loans.
We must find a way to stop this lie from spreading any further.
"Aixen, listen to me. Our Chinese medicine is just like your Western medicine. It has many subdivisions. Each Chinese medicine practitioner has different research directions and specialties. My teacher is good at Chinese medicine pulse diagnosis and acupuncture point identification, but is relatively lacking in pharmacology and acupuncture. I'm afraid that even if I ask them to come over, they won't be able to help you."
Li Quan decided it would be better to be honest.
"Ah... So that's how it is! Well then, it seems that I don't know enough about Chinese medicine. Li, you are very good at acupuncture, and I believe you are also very good at pharmacology. You can definitely help me."
Professor Aixen was disappointed, but he still clung to the ready-made Chinese medicine in front of him.
He had witnessed Li Quan's abilities with his own eyes.
With Li Quan's help, it must be good.
"I can't say that I can definitely help you, but I can first understand what difficulties you encountered when developing this biological reagent." Li Quan didn't dare to be too sure.
"Li, do you know the pathology of leukemia?" asked Axen.
"I know! Isn't it just that there is something wrong with the patient's hematopoietic system?" Li Quan was puzzled as to why Aixen asked him such a simple medical question.
"Then do you think the main cause of leukemia is too many white blood cells?" Axen asked again.
His eyes were fixed on Li Quan, with a shrewd look in his eyes.
Is this a test of Li Quan's medical skills?
Li Quan smiled confidently.
"Leukemia is not necessarily caused by an excess of white blood cells in the blood . In fact, some patients may even have a decrease in white blood cells in their blood."
"But in general, leukemia patients have a decrease in red blood cells, and as the disease progresses, the decrease in red blood cells becomes more and more serious. In normal people, the bone marrow can produce tens of billions of new blood cells every day, most of which are red blood cells. However, people with leukemia produce more white blood cells than they actually need, and most of them are immature, immature cells, and their survival period is longer than normal. Although these white blood cells are large in number, they cannot fight infection like normal white blood cells."
"Due to the malignant proliferation of leukemia cells, the production of red blood cells and platelets to stop bleeding is suppressed, and there are not even enough normal white blood cells to fight infection, so patients are very susceptible to injury, bleeding, and infection."
Li Quan spoke eloquently and explained his understanding of leukemia.
"Li, I am very satisfied with your medical knowledge. Come, take a look at the biological response modifiers we are researching."
After passing Aixen's test, he began to take Li Quan to see their research results.
Foreigners are smarter than you think.
"The biological response modifiers we are researching have reached the fifth stage. The current difficulty is that when regulating the patient's hematopoietic stem cells, the hematopoietic stem cells are too fragile and directly break. If there is a way to make the patient's hematopoietic stem cells stronger, even if it is only three-quarters of the strength of a normal person, it will be enough to withstand our reagents."
Aixen pointed to the data graph simulated on the computer and showed it to Li Quan.
After the regulators were absorbed by the patient's hematopoietic stem cells, the hematopoietic stem cells directly broke apart and died quickly.
Occasionally, one or two relatively strong hematopoietic stem cells would withstand the pressure and not explode and die. Then the blood cells produced by that hematopoietic stem cell would be infinitely close to normal values. Surprisingly, no more diseased leukemia cells would be produced.
Li Quan looked at the foreigner's test simulation software with envy.
As far as he knows, there is no such advanced simulation software in China.
It’s not that domestic software is backward, but the large amount of experimental data needed to program this software is not yet available in China.
The United States has accumulated a large amount of experimental data in its research on leukemia.
In addition, Aixen has led an elite team to work in the field of hematological diseases for many years, optimizing, summarizing and comparing various data, which resulted in this extremely advanced simulation software.
"If I can just find a way to make the patient's hematopoietic stem cells stronger, to 75% of the strength of a normal person, then your reagents can be used safely?"
Li Quan cannot develop such advanced biological regulation reagents, but what are the strengths of traditional Chinese medicine?
It's about strengthening the foundation.
He can strengthen the patient's originally weak hematopoietic stem cells in a short period of time.
The Chinese medicine prescription given to Sophie and the little girl has this effect.
"Li, can you really do it?" Aixen excitedly grabbed Li Quan's shoulders and looked straight at him.
Aixen's arm strength is amazing.
Foreigners don't just do scientific research, they also like to exercise and keep fit.
"I can do it with Chinese medicine. But if you want me to share it with you, I have a condition."
Li Quan subtly mobilized the mysterious energy gained from practicing the Five Animal Exercises, and with a slight shake, he directly pushed Axen's hands away.
"Chinese Kung Fu?"
Aixen had only grabbed Li Quan's shoulders unconsciously and had no intention of showing off his strength to Li Quan.
Of course, in his subconscious, seeing that Li Quan's body was so thin, he naturally believed that he could control Li Quan at will.
Unexpectedly, although Li Quan looks thin, his strength is beyond imagination.
This made Aixen extremely shocked.
When he looked at Li Quan, his eyes and expression were as if he was looking at a ferocious beast.
"It can be considered as Chinese Kung Fu! Just a means of self-defense." Li Quan did not deny it.
Hide your weaknesses when nothing is happening, and keep your strength as a trump card.
When it is necessary, you must take action.
During a negotiation, if you don't have the strength, then you have no right to talk.
"China is indeed an oriental country full of mystery. It is more mysterious and more powerful than I imagined." Aixen's hands were numb from the shock just now, and he no longer dared to be presumptuous in front of Li Quan.
"What conditions do you need to share with me the traditional Chinese medicine method of strengthening hematopoietic stem cells?"
He asked with narrowed eyes.
"I need you to share with me the bioregulatory reagents you developed. Including the entire manufacturing process and all the principles and data." Li Quan emphasized.
Originally, he wanted to directly take over Aixen's simulation software.
But considering that Aixen is extremely shrewd, he will definitely not agree.
You can't be too greedy, you have to take things one step at a time.
Anyway, Li Quan still has a lot of traditional Chinese medicine skills that will interest Aixen. When the time comes, there is no need to worry that Aixen will not take the bait.
"Li! Your request is too much. We are researching this biological reagent to treat your girlfriend. We are helping you. Don't you want Miss Su to recover soon?"
Exon screamed.
This is the result of many years of research by him and his entire team. How could he possibly share it with Li Quan?
"I told you since the first day you came here that I would first use traditional Chinese medicine to treat my girlfriend. If that doesn't work, I will then use the biological reagents you and your team developed."
Li Quan said with a serious face.
"If you insist on doing so, we will not treat you and will go back to the United States tomorrow." Aixen shouted angrily.
There are only interests between adults.
The boat of friendship can capsize at any time.
"I'll give you travel expenses. Besides, you don't have to make this trip in vain. I'll pay you 100,000 yuan each." Li Quan is even tougher than Aixen.
Even though they had a big argument, he had his own bottom line and principles in life.
He was the one who invited the person here, and he would never let him come in vain.
"Li, aren't you afraid that your girlfriend can't be cured? Her first chemotherapy didn't work. I dare to infer that even if she uses other chemotherapy drugs on the market, they will not be effective. If your traditional Chinese medicine can really cure her, you wouldn't have asked me to come here."
There was a shrewd look in Aixen's eyes, he thought he had found Li Quan's weakness.
