Chapter 628 Cancer Drug Development, Descendants of Peng Zu
If the world-class medical problem of malignant tumors can be conquered, Huier Hospital will be able to stand at the pinnacle of world medicine based on this alone.
By then, Li Quan will become a legend in the industry.
Cancer patients in China no longer have to travel far to seek treatment abroad. They can be cured directly in China. Even cancer patients abroad will rush to Huier Hospital for treatment.
The clinical trials of the leukemia-specific drug were very successful.
After the patient is injected, the leukemia cells in the body rapidly weaken and the patient's immune system is activated.
After the T cell warriors are strengthened, they fiercely kill the leukemia cells in the patient's body.
This new treatment method is many times more advanced than the old radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
It is safer than bone marrow transplantation, the conditions are more relaxed, and most importantly, the effect is particularly good.
Bone marrow transplantation, first of all, has certain requirements for the patient himself. If the conditions are not met, the patient will have to wait for death. Secondly, it is extremely difficult to successfully match the source of bone marrow, and it is difficult to find bone marrow suitable for transplantation.
Even if a bone marrow source is found and the patient meets the requirements for surgery, there is still a big hurdle to overcome.
Rejection!
Each person's body is like an independent kingdom. Transplanting someone else's bone marrow into a patient is equivalent to relocating a group of foreigners to another country.
It is hard to say whether the people of this country can accept these foreign immigrants.
If the patient's body rejects the transplant, it means the operation has failed.
Therefore, the leukemia drug developed by Li Quan is currently leading the world. Its treatment concept is to activate the patient's immune system and rely on the patient's own immune T cells to eliminate leukemia cells.
The benefits of this are obvious.
First of all, the patient's physical constitution is not damaged , but strengthened, which is equivalent to building a defensive wall.
Secondly, since it relies on the body's own immune cells to kill leukemia cells, it can be more thorough and has no negative effects.
In this way, there is almost no possibility of relapse after the patient recovers.
In fact, there are many similarities between cancer treatment and leukemia treatment, and there are many techniques that can be borrowed.
This is also the reason why Li Quan wants to strike while the iron is hot and develop drugs to treat cancer.
…
In the blink of an eye, another four days passed.
Under Li Quan's management, the hematology department of Huier Hospital has been booming. The most difficult issue now is the bed problem.
Because leukemia patients need to be hospitalized and the treatment period is long.
This leads to an even greater shortage of beds.
Unlike the observation room in the emergency department, which also has a lot of patients every day, many patients may stay in the observation room for one night and then leave. In this way , the turnover period of beds is very short, and no matter how many patients there are, there will be no shortage of beds.
Li Quan has already put the development of cancer drugs on the agenda, but it may take some time to officially start work.
At present, we have only preliminarily determined the personnel for drug development.
That is, the original team responsible for leukemia drug development, plus a few people drawn from the oncology department.
What needs to be done now is to collect various data from cancer patients and then collect cancer cell specimens to prepare for the next step of formal research.
After Li Quan had arranged everything, he decided to take Sophie back to his hometown.
After all, the time has been delayed again and again, and my family has called to urge me several times.
Although the girl's family did not urge them, it would easily cause misunderstanding if they kept dragging it out. They would think that Li Quan was just playing with their daughter and did not want to get married.
Walking to the hospital parking lot, Li Quan called Sophie.
"Sophie, where are you?"
"At home!"
"Do you think it would be convenient for you to go back to my hometown with me today to meet my parents?" Li Quan asked.
"Haha, I'm fine. I can leave at any time. The key is whether you, a busy man, can spare the time?" Sophie's words were not without sarcasm.
It can be felt that she was very happy when she heard that Li Quan was going to take her back to his hometown to meet his parents today.
As Li Quan's status and wealth rose rapidly, she, like most unmarried girls, felt very insecure and afraid of being ruthlessly abandoned.
After all, it is an experience that men become bad when they have money.
"Okay, I'll drive over right away, you get ready." Li Quan bought this car mainly for work needs.
I often have to go to the Health Bureau or other competent authorities for meetings, so it is more convenient to have my own car.
It can also save some expenses for the hospital.
Because he uses the hospital bus, he needs a special driver.
As the dean, he should take the lead in being frugal so that his subordinates will learn from him.
Not long after, Li Quan drove to pick up Sophie.
She had already bought the gifts, and Li Quan was very gentlemanly in helping her carry them to the car. Sophie's mother chased them downstairs, repeatedly telling them to be careful on the road and drive slowly.
The journey from Shanghai to Li Quan’s hometown is quite long.
Vice President Min knew that Li Quan was going back to his hometown to get engaged, and insisted on arranging a full-time driver for Li Quan, but Li Quan refused.
It's so uncomfortable to have a driver.
Besides, this is a private matter, and the leaders should follow suit.
What will the subordinates in the hospital think?
Li Quan started this precedent, and when others followed suit, he felt embarrassed to speak up.
He drove his Mercedes-Benz on the road and got on the highway.
Originally, Li Quan, a novice driver, was not qualified to drive on the highway. Fortunately, there was an experienced driver sitting next to him.
Sophie is much better than him.
The lady from a wealthy family is proficient in all kinds of skills.
I took the driving test just after I turned 18.
Sophie was sitting in the passenger seat, looking very excited and chattering non-stop.
The smile on her face was also exceptionally bright.
The Mercedes-Benz, which costs nearly two million yuan, has excellent performance in all aspects. When two people sit in the car, they can hardly feel any vibration, and the driving experience is excellent.
On the highway, the superior performance of a good car is also well demonstrated. With just a simple step on the accelerator, it can easily surpass ordinary cars.
After driving for about six hours, Sophie, the experienced driver, took over and Li Quan sat in the passenger seat to rest.
The journey was uneventful.
After nearly a day's long drive, the two finally arrived at Li Quan's hometown, Mawang County, at around five in the evening.
But now we have only reached Mawang County.
Just got off the highway.
"Sophie, let's go to the County People's Hospital first. I borrowed a medical book from a senior for a while. Now that I'm back, it's just the right time to return the book."
After saying hello, Li Quan drove his Mercedes-Benz towards the County People's Hospital.
"Hey, aren't you going to buy some gifts?" Sophie reminded him.
"That's right. It's definitely not a good idea to visit empty-handed. What kind of gift do you think would be a good idea to buy?"
If you just buy two bags of fruit from a roadside stall, it would be too shabby.
"Is that senior a man or a woman? How old is he?"
She asked back.
"He's about 50 or 60 years old, a man. I don't think he smokes, but I don't know if he drinks. Oh, and he likes to read some ancient medical books."
Li Quan gave some general information about Shi Gui.
"Well... I think buying two bottles of good wine and good tea would be popular. There's a gift shop just up ahead. Stop the car and wait for me. I'll go down and buy some."
She is a very competent wife.
It is said that a good wife brings less trouble to her husband, and this is absolutely true.
A virtuous and sensible wife can help her husband resolve many problems, consolidate his network of contacts, and allow him to present a good image to others.
Soon, Sophie came back with two bottles of wine and a box of tea.
"Two bottles of Moutai and a box of good green tea, is that enough?" she asked with a smile.
"That's certainly enough."
These three items will cost at least three to four thousand yuan.
Li Quan raised his wrist to look at the Patek Philippe automatic mechanical watch that Sophie had given him. It was now 5:17 pm.
The hospital usually closes around five o'clock.
The later ones are around 5:30.
I hope Mr. Shi Gui hasn't finished get off work yet, otherwise my trip today would be in vain.
Li Quan's Mercedes-Benz is very eye-catching in the small county town. He can feel the envious glances of passers-by along the way.
After getting off the car, Sophie sat in the car waiting for him.
Li Quan carried the gifts and the incomplete volume of "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine" and went straight to the hospital library.
Fortunately, the library was not closed.
After entering, in addition to Shi Gui, there was also an old man with divine light in his eyes.
He has fluttering white beard, an immortal demeanor, and an otherworldly temperament.
You can tell at first glance that this old man is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Senior Shi, long time no see!"
Li Quan greeted Shi Gui with a smile.
Then he nodded and smiled at the old man.
"Don't come over here!"
Shi Gui was obviously a little late in saying this.
Li Quan has already come closer.
Bang!
As soon as he approached a position two meters away from Shi Gui and the old man, he was hit by an irresistible force.
The body couldn't help but fly backwards.
Fortunately, Li Quan’s current strength is not weak. While in the air, he twisted his waist, and then used the method of the thousand-pound weight to land steadily on the ground.
Although he was not injured, the look in his eyes when he looked at Shi Gui and the old man was full of fear.
The true energy of these two people is unfathomable and terrifying.
"What are you doing?" Li Quan then realized that although the two men seemed to be standing there casually, they were actually competing secretly.
When the old man saw that Li Quan was not injured and was quite skilled, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
After staring at Li Quan for a few seconds, he said nothing.
"This is my old friend, Peng Zhen. Is there anything wrong? If not, put your things down and you can leave."
Shi Gui was really not polite at all.
But for someone like him, worldly things like money would have long been regarded as dirt.
He could recognize the wine and tea that Li Quan mentioned at a glance.
Not being polite to Li Quan actually shows that he treats Li Quan as an acquaintance.
"Senior Shi, are you sure you don't need my help? If he is your enemy, I can help you fight him." When Li Quan looked at the white-bearded old man, there was a hint of hostility in his eyes.
Shi Gui was indebted to Li Quan.
Even the fragments of the Neijing (Inner Canon of Medicine) were lent to Li Quan, a valuable medical book, and even the notes made by Shi Gui were lent to Li Quan without reservation.
In Li Quan's mind, Shi Gui is definitely one of his own.
According to his thinking, Shi Gui urged him to leave quickly, probably because he was worried that he would be hurt.
"Don't talk nonsense. Old Peng and I have known each other for many years. Every time we meet, we have a competition. You have to call him Senior Peng." Shi Gui glared at Li Quan and scolded him.
Well, Li Quan did good things without expecting any good, and now he has become like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror, neither a good person nor a good person.
But he also heard the love and care in Shi Gui's words.
Li Quan was also a stubborn person and did not say anything.
The things were put down.
"Scream! Do you know where Old Peng comes from? He is the descendant of Peng Zu. When it comes to cultivating one's character and prolonging one's life, no one can compare to him."
Shi Gui urged Li Quan again.
What?
Is he the descendant of Peng Zu?
It is said that Peng Zu lived to be 800 years old, and every 100 years he would hide away and shed his skin, like a worm, to regain his youth and vitality.
Originally, Peng Zu could have remained immortal.
It’s just that besides being good at prolonging life, he is also greedy for women.
When Peng Zu was 800 years old, he took the opportunity of holding a birthday banquet to take in another concubine.
This is 800 years old and it is the only one in the world.
Peng Zu was both the birthday boy and the groom today, and he was really happy.
So he drank to his heart's content and eventually got drunk.
The new concubine happened to be a woman who was beautiful in appearance but greedy in heart.
She actually had a purpose for marrying Peng Zu.
Because she also wanted to be immortal, like Peng Zu, who lived to be 800 years old. Or even longer.
She tried every possible means to find out the secret of Peng Zu's longevity.
Unfortunately, Peng Zu was not stupid and did not reveal the secret of longevity to outsiders. As for the rumors that Peng Zu would cocoon and shed his skin like an insect every time he reached the age of 100, no one had ever seen it with their own eyes.
No one took it seriously.
That night, she and Peng Zu had their wedding night. Under her guidance, Peng Zu, who was very drunk, told her the secret of longevity.
The vicious woman stole the treasure that very night.
No news from him since then.
As a result, Peng Zu, who lost his treasure, could no longer regain his youth and could only die with hatred.
This is just a historical story and no one knows whether it is true or not.
However, Peng Zu is mentioned in many unofficial histories, and he lived through three dynasties, so it is very likely that he really lived to be eight hundred years old.
As for why they can live so long, later historians and scientists boldly speculated that if humans could find a way to shed their skin and transform themselves like insects, they might really be able to live for many years.
At least based on the renewal and metabolism of human cells, humans can live at least over 120 years old.
Except for nerve cells which never renew themselves, other cells in the human body are renewed on average every two years.
Such updates can be repeated sixty times.
Therefore, scientists believe that humans can live to 120 years old.
If Peng Zu had found a way to transform himself, it might really be possible for him to live to 800 years old.
The old man who was competing with Shi Gui was actually the descendant of Peng Zu. Li Quan knew that Shi Gui would definitely not ask him to call for help for no reason.
It is very likely that if you have a good relationship with Peng Zhen, you will get some benefits.
After sorting out the clues, Li Quan was no longer reserved.
The so-called face is worthless.
He immediately smiled and said to Peng Zhen, "Senior Peng, I misunderstood you just now. Please forgive me."
Li Quan is very smart. Since he has decided to call the other party "senior", he naturally would not just call him "senior Peng" dryly.
Instead, apologize to the other party naturally.
