Chapter 553: New Leukemia Drug Success
Some even compare the ophthalmology department of the Wheeler Hospital with that of Super Vision Eye Hospital.
It is clear that the popularity of the Ophthalmology Department of Huier Hospital has been raised by more than two levels in a very short period of time.
There are two main reasons for this sensational effect.
First, Li Quan is already a famous internet celebrity. He personally treats patients in the ophthalmology department and has recorded many videos of him treating difficult eye diseases on the spot, which is very shocking.
Second, the use of traditional Chinese medicine to treat eye diseases seems very novel to many people.
In addition, the efficacy is almost twice as good as conventional Western medicine treatments.
The patients just accept one thing.
They will believe whoever can cure their illness with less money, shorter treatment period and faster recovery.
Li Quan tried to combine Chinese and Western medicine, and achieved results in five departments: orthopedics, neurology, ophthalmology, hematology, and obstetrics and gynecology.
This also makes traditional Chinese medicine, a discipline that was once neglected, begin to shine with new brilliance.
"Director, do you know that last month, our hospital's diagnosis and treatment volume not only stopped its downward trend, but also increased by 2% compared to the peak performance three months ago."
Director Hu could not hide his excitement.
In the first two months, under He Zhen's blind command, the hospital's medical services declined sharply.
This makes every medical staff whose interests are deeply tied to Huier Hospital or who has feelings for Huier Hospital feel particularly worried.
If Wheeler Hospital is destroyed, everyone will suffer.
"Well, it's not easy to achieve this result. We should guard against arrogance and keep up the good momentum of development."
After reading this performance report, Li Quan showed a gratified smile on his face.
In the more than one month since he became the dean, he has been working diligently, working overtime every day, and strictly controlling the quality of diagnosis and treatment in each department.
The efforts finally paid off.
In the first month after taking office, achievements have been made.
"By the way, Dean, there is one more thing I want to report to you. Super Vision Eye Hospital wants to exchange ophthalmic medical skills with us. Do you think this can be agreed to?" Director Hu asked.
Li Quan looked at Director Hu meaningfully.
Director Hu, who is about 40 years old, still has her charm. She can't be called charming, but her natural competence, confidence, and intelligence add to her charm.
When Li Quan stared at him, Director Hu touched his face uncomfortably.
"Dean, is there dust on my face?"
She has been working with Li Quan for some time. Li Quan looks young, but has a very high IQ.
Li Quan can see through the essence of many things.
"There's no dust. But... shouldn't we talk to Vice President Min or the Public Relations Department about the medical exchange? Why is Director Hu so concerned about this?"
Li Quan asked meaningfully.
"Uh..." Director Hu's face froze for a moment, and he felt a chill in his heart. "President, please don't scold me if you tell me this! Because I am a classmate of the vice president of the Super Vision Eye Hospital in Shanghai. When their hospital had this idea, they asked me for help."
Director Hu quickly explained it clearly.
"So that's how it is. I was just wondering! I didn't mean anything else. I was just curious. Medical exchange is a good thing. The Super Vision Eye Hospital is very strong. It is a good thing that it is willing to lower its status and exchange medical skills with us. You should discuss it with Vice President Min and set a time."
Li Quan lifted it high and put it down gently.
It is a profound skill in controlling people.
He kind of agreed to this.
"Okay! Thank you, Dean!"
Director Hu smiled gratefully at Li Quan.
"If there's nothing else, I'll get busy first."
"Well, go ahead!"
Li Quan nodded.
He also stood up and walked out of the office. A few days ago, the last obstacle of the new leukemia drug was overcome, and the results were released today.
Got to see if it was successful?
The development of new leukemia drugs is of concern to many senior leaders.
During this period, the old leader Guo would call Li Quan every now and then to personally inquire about the progress of the new drug.
All the way to Laboratory No. 4.
"Captain, you're here!"
The researchers greeted Li Quan with a smile.
There are fourteen people in total, all professionals sent by the higher-ups, and they all have their own strengths.
Some people are good at computer operation and various data calculations.
Some are good at blood analysis, while others are good at cultivating hematopoietic stem cells.
…
When this group of professionals first arrived, they were all troublemakers.
They are like unruly horses.
He was very dissatisfied with Li Quan as a leader.
Because Li Quan is young!
Moreover, they have high academic qualifications, almost all of them are top students, and have extremely high attainments in a certain field. People with ability are proud in their hearts and are not easy to convince others.
After only a few dealings with Li Quan, they were quickly impressed by his profound knowledge of Chinese medicine and his powerful medical skills.
After getting familiar with Li Quan, they all affectionately called him captain.
Instead of Dean Li.
"What are the results of the test?" Li Quan walked directly to the last test bench.
Here is an imported instrument that can clearly observe every subtle reaction of the experimental hematopoietic stem cells.
"So far, so good. We haven't found any signs of rapid aging of hematopoietic stem cells or weakening of the blood cells that split off. I feel like our experiment should be successful this time."
The speaker was a bald young man in his thirties.
Wearing thick black-framed glasses.
His name is Zhang Sanshan. Although his name is a bit difficult to pronounce, he is a real overseas returnee with a PhD. He graduated from a prestigious university and has published many papers with high impact factors in the field of blood research.
Not only is he well-known in the country, but he is also well-known abroad.
A famous American university where he studied offered him a very generous salary and wanted to keep him in the United States to work and continue his scientific research. However, he refused.
He was determined to return to his country to serve his motherland.
Li Quan found that this person was not only knowledgeable, but also had positive thoughts and morals, so he appointed Zhang Sanshan as the deputy captain.
When Li Quan was away, Zhang Sanshan took on the responsibilities of captain.
"Very good! I look forward to the final results. If the research is successful this time, leukemia patients in our country will be saved."
Drug research must be extremely rigorous.
Even though the experiments have been mostly successful now and can be predicted, the results will be very good.
However, without clinical trials on living humans, no one can say that the drug will be effective.
At about 2:00 p.m., Li Quan was performing an operation in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He was the lead surgeon, and Professor Liu was guiding him. At this time, Zhang Sanshan called and excitedly told him that the test results were out.
Bone marrow samples collected from leukemia patients, after cell culture and medication, have now been officially confirmed that the new drug is effective.
It can directly enhance the capacity of hematopoietic stem cells and eliminate leukemia cells from the root.
Upon hearing the final test results, Li Quan could not hide his excitement.
"We will immediately arrange animal testing and evaluate the safety of the new drug. If there are no problems, we will then apply for clinical trials. We will try to launch the new drug as quickly as possible."
Li Quan gave instructions.
After the research of a new drug is successful, the first thing that cannot be done is to test it directly on humans.
Instead, they used mice and rabbits for the experiments.
The first choice of experimental subjects is usually mice.
There are relatively few experiments using rabbits.
…
In the laboratory, there are a hundred experimental mice using the new drug.
This new drug is not taken orally but is injected intravenously.
Every two hours, someone would take blood samples from the mice and conduct tests.
At around six o'clock in the evening, Li Quan came over.
"Zhang Sanshan, how is the drug trial on mice going?" Li Quan asked expectantly.
"After testing, it was found that the number of leukemia cells in the mice barely decreased after taking the drug. But it also did not increase."
Zhang Sanshan and his team members seemed a little depressed.
As everyone expected, after the mice took the medicine, most of the leukemia cells in their bodies were killed immediately.
But the current efficacy of the medicine is somewhat disappointing.
"The number of leukemia cells has not increased. This is a good thing. Just wait, there will be good news tomorrow. Just continue taking the medication." Li Quan seemed very confident.
Because the new leukemia drug has the properties of traditional Chinese medicine.
To be precise, this is a Western medicine that has been improved using traditional Chinese medicine.
Therefore, it is not surprising that its therapeutic effect has the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine.
Chinese medicine takes a long time to take effect, but it is very stable.
The team members didn't understand this, so they seemed very frustrated.
The next day, Li Quan came again in the evening to check the results of the drug test.
"Captain, the situation is better today. The number of leukemia cells in the mice has decreased by about 2%." Jing Sanshan's somewhat lost tone and frustrated expression said it all.
He must be in a bad mood at the moment.
Because the trial results of the new drug were not ideal.
The morale of the other team members was also low.
Li Quan took in the expressions of all the team members.
He remained calm.
These people are all geniuses in the field of hematology, and they are used to smooth sailing. It is a good thing to let them experience some setbacks and blows now.
Researching new drugs for leukemia is just the first step.
Li Quan also plans to use the new leukemia drug as a breakthrough point to study other drugs to conquer cancer.
"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat! A 2% reduction is already very good. Disease comes like a mountain falling, and goes away like a thread being pulled out. Treatment takes time. It's impossible to take medicine and cure the disease immediately."
Li Quan paused and asked again.
"How are the mice without medication doing?"
"The leukemia cells in the mice that didn't receive the drug were still multiplying crazily. There was still a clear gap compared to the mice that received the drug."
Zhang Sanshan replied.
"Well, there is a clear difference, which means that the new drug we are researching is effective. Let's continue the experiment."
After Li Quan finished explaining, he left .
Next, on the third day, the number of leukemia cells in the mice taking the drug decreased by 5%.
On the fourth day, reduce by 10%.
On the fifth day, reduce by 20%.
On the eighth day, it had decreased by 99%.
Li Quan once again allowed all team members to experience the unique charm of traditional Chinese medicine.
At this moment, the mice that did not receive the drug were already on the verge of death and could die at any time. The mice that received the drug had recovered and started to eat actively.
The fourteen members of the research team for the new leukemia drug all had happy smiles of relief on their faces.
All our hard work over these days has finally paid off.
The new drug worked much better than they expected.
"Captain, you always seem very confident. Did you know from the beginning that the new medicine we developed would have good effects?" Zhang Sanshan asked curiously.
"I don't know what the final effect of the new drug will be, and there is no way to know it in advance. But what I want to tell you is that this new drug can make you clearly see the difference between Western medicine and Chinese medicine.
Western medicine pursues immediate benefits. It pays more attention to immediate results. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to winning in a steady manner and making gradual progress.
Western medicine can only treat symptoms, but Chinese medicine can treat the root cause.”
Li Quan smiled and gave the team members a lesson.
Let everyone understand the essential differences between Chinese medicine and Western medicine more clearly and intuitively.
"Great Chinese medicine, great cure for the root cause."
Zhang Sanshan gave a thumbs up.
“Western medicine can kill 80% of leukemia cells on the first day, but its effect will become less and less effective on the second and third days. This will eventually lead to repeated attacks of the patient and the leukemia cannot be cured.
Although Chinese medicine starts slowly and can only inhibit the growth of leukemia cells on the first day, it can double the efficacy later, which is really amazing. It can directly eradicate the root cause and completely cure leukemia.
I am now particularly looking forward to the clinical trials on humans being as successful as this one.
By then, all leukemia patients in the world will no longer have to suffer, and they won’t have to die.”
As Zhang Sanshan spoke, his eyes turned red.
The voice also became choked.
"Zhang Sanshan, what's wrong with you? You should be happy that a new drug for leukemia has been successfully ."
Li Quan asked in confusion.
Caring about every team member is also what he should do as the captain.
"I thought of my mother. If there had been this new leukemia drug, she wouldn't have had to die. I was only thirteen years old at the time. It was also that year that I lost my mother who loved and cared for me forever.
Until the day she died, my mother was still worried about me, worried that I would be cold in the winter and that I would not have enough to eat...
From that time on, I silently vowed that I would develop a drug to cure leukemia in my lifetime.
Later, I learned that medical technology in China was relatively backward and that advanced medical technology was in the hands of foreigners.
So I studied very hard and finally got an opportunity to study abroad for free.
You just need to pay for your living expenses.
Later, I completed my studies through my own efforts and devoted myself to studying blood and blood diseases. However, as my knowledge grew, the more I learned, the more desperate I became.
Because leukemia is very difficult to treat.
There are many medical problems.
Unexpectedly, these difficult problems were solved one by one in front of the captain.
Captain, you are one of the people I admire most in my life. Like my teachers, you are also worthy of respect.
When the new leukemia drug comes on the market, I will be able to comfort my mother that my son has finally succeeded.
From now on, no one will die from leukemia. No child will be left without a mother because their mother has leukemia. "
Zhang Sanshan never expected to have such a tragic experience.
Li Quan patted his shoulder and nodded heavily.
"You are great. We will research and develop more new drugs in the future to benefit mankind."
