Chapter 651

This was a "program" Liu Huanglong hadn't introduced to Fang Ziye in advance.

However, having some small programs midway through an academic conference is also only human nature.

Fang Ziye is an orthopedics person, and this isn't his first time showing face in hand surgery.

Under everyone's gaze, Fang Ziye could only stand up, conveniently taking the microphone the staff handed over.

Fang Ziye is now on postoperative day ten; only the sutures haven't been removed, and the plaster cast has already been changed to a hand rehabilitation orthosis, which can assist grasping:

"Professor Fang, why don't you come up on stage and say a few words?" Liu Huanglong's brows and eyes twitched, his hidden gaze like autumn waves overflowing.

With the atmosphere pushed to this point, Fang Ziye also couldn't just stay seated on the fishing terrace; he walked up to the stage with a straight face.

After bowing, he stood and said: "Junior Fang Ziye greets all you seniors, experts, professors, and colleagues."

"Today's academic conference, I had no schedule arranged; I only came to listen to all you teachers' guidance, so I fundamentally had no preparation."

Fang Ziye tilted his head to look at Liu Huanglong: "Professor Liu, is this planning to put me on the fire rack to roast?"

Liu Huanglong looked at the crowd, then rallied support: "Professor Fang, I clearly invited you many times in advance; you pushed and delayed, so I had no choice but to resort to this stratagem."

"The greater orthopedics is one family that can't speak two different words; Professor Fang can say whatever he thinks of, and I reckon everyone will love to hear it."

Liu Huanglong is very good with words; the four words "returning a peach for a plum" were performed by him with consummate skill.

Today's Liu Huanglong is in the limelight in hand surgery, his fame in the industry even more flourishing than Fang Ziye's.

Fang Ziye scanned the crowd, his gaze finally settling on Professor Zhou Yan, whom he had brought along to "relax."

Currently, in Eastern Han's hand surgery, among the younger generation, only two people can steadily suppress Liu Huanglong: one is Professor Jin of Huashan Hospital's Hand Surgery, the other is Professor Zhou Yan of Xiangya Hospital.

However, Professor Zhou Yan is usually very low-key, rarely making moves within the specialty; what he's currently doing are all part-time jobs outside the specialty.

After thinking carefully for a few seconds, Fang Ziye said: "Actually, regarding the microcirculation instrument, besides its uses in hand surgery and the bone disease specialty, whether it has other uses — I haven't thought deeply about this problem either."

"When our team was developing improvements before, the original purpose was only to hope to extend the surgical time window for limb replantation surgery."

"Later, a chance opportunity led our team to think of combining the microcirculation instrument with osteomyelitis treatment; after that, the idea of microcirculation cutoff came to mind, which can be combined with chemotherapy in the bone disease department."

"However, if we really want to talk about uses of the microcirculation instrument, there may be the following aspects. Of course this is only my personal speculation."

"First, I believe all you teachers are hand surgery experts, so you certainly know skin flap transplantation."

"Of course, perhaps the description 'transplantation' isn't precise enough, but I also hope all you teachers won't pick at the loopholes in my words."

This is an academic conference, an academic report; although it's an unexpected "schedule," Fang Ziye still doesn't want to be found with too big a loophole by others.

After all, preparation was insufficient.

"The so-called transplantation is actually avulsed skin in-situ replantation + abdominal pedicled skin flap transplantation. Our hand surgery teachers are very clever; they will 'suture and replant' the finger skin with the abdominal skin, adopting the concept of grafting."

"And the reason for such clever thinking, personally I feel the fundamental reason lies in the abdominal skin's texture being relatively soft, and its blood supply being abundant."

"Based on this principle, the microcirculation instrument may have significant benefit in bone flap transplantation, meniscus cloning, tendon cloning surgery, and other aspects."

"But the specific theory still needs later people to perfect it."

After Fang Ziye finished speaking, everyone including Liu Huanglong froze for a moment, mouths agape, looking at each other in blank dismay.

No way?

Liu Huanglong letting you say a few words was actually just letting you be polite; how come you actually laid out such an absolute idea?

Big Brother?

As everyone knows.

Menisci, tendons, bone flaps, etc., all belong to tissues in the body that cannot regenerate; if cloning transplantation can really be performed at these organ sites, then the entire orthopedics technology would transcend the entire surgery category.

Big Brother?

Such a good idea, you just said it so generously in front of so many people?

Liu Huanglong's mouth corner began to twitch, his teeth began to chatter slightly, click-click sounds vibrating up and down continuously...

The microcirculation instrument has been developed for nearly a year; its application scope in hand surgery is now very wide.

But this thing, everyone just treats it as a very simple tool, not as a basic method to subsequently refine.

And Fang Ziye? He took it as a foundation and did deep cultivation: first the microcirculation instrument combined with infection, then chemotherapy, now cloning...

Does Fang Ziye really plan to eat off this foundation for a lifetime?

It's not like that; if Fang Ziye's ideas are true, not only can Fang Ziye eat for a lifetime, just Zhongnan Hospital for a hundred years, relying on this set of microcirculation instrument's subsequent foundation, could steadily sit in the nationwide top ten, even top five.

Liu Huanglong's heart was bleeding, as if flesh had been cut from him.

He didn't understand; his gaze began to blur...

But Fang Ziye had long had a plan in mind; the current Zhongnan Hospital can already be considered "raised up" by him; everyone has a big piece of meat in front of their mouths, mouths flowing with oil.

So, Fang Ziye doesn't care if others still come to find him for cooperation, to work for him, to earn knowledge points for him.

Fang Ziye's basic research skill level has already reached level 6; such ideas, if he went to think deeply, he could produce many in a day; it's just that no one can implement them.

"If there are other uses to speak of..." Fang Ziye still wanted to continue speaking.

Liu Huanglong couldn't bear it himself, interrupting in advance: "Professor Fang, enough, enough; what we want best is a workable plan; why doesn't Professor Fang first refine the content you just spoke of?"

Good things should be kept for your own people first; don't say them in front of so many people?

Brother!

Grandpa.

Feed your own family's kids first, okay?

The people below the stage also didn't feel Liu Huanglong was stingy, nor would they feel Liu Huanglong's suggestion was inappropriate in any way.

Cloning technology belongs to the new century's new technology; current development is still in a very preliminary stage.

Currently, implanted consumables in the human body are basically all allogeneic transplant materials or xenogeneic materials, artificial consumables.

If one can really clone matching ligaments, menisci, etc., from oneself, that is naturally best; one fundamentally doesn't need to consider transplant immune rejection, greatly improving surgical safety.

Fang Ziye looked at Liu Huanglong, then at the crowd, nodded and said: "The human body is very hard to simulate; this is also an objective fact existing in our current orthopedics material development process."

"However, the innate advantage our orthopedics possesses compared to other surgeries lies in: all our orthopedics structures are related to bone support, related to movement, related to activity, related to pulling and force!"

"Based on the principles of the Ilizarov technique, the bones, muscles, skin, nerves, and blood vessels of our human limbs can all continuously grow and lengthen during the process of being subjected to force..."

"This is a technique and fundamental principle that has already been proven by history; we have already maturely applied it in clinical practice for decades."

"Therefore, based on this principle, I believe that even if I don't waste words on the subsequent ideas, the professors here already have partial prototypes in your minds."

Fang Ziye laughed as he finished speaking, and put down the microphone.

When Fang Ziye finished his words, a chaotic, low murmur of pondering immediately came from the free-floating microphone, the timbre mixed, coming from different crowds—

"Law of Tension Stress! ~"

"When biological tissue is slowly pulled, it stimulates tissue regeneration and active growth, and can undergo cell division just like fetal tissue..."

"Our orthopedics' bone cells themselves possess the ability to divide and repair; current cognition holds that both the meniscus and ligaments belong to non-regenerative tissues..."

"However, after the application of the Ilizarov apparatus, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels are all undergoing cell division."

"Right? How did we not think of it?"

"This Professor Fang is too generous; this kind of thinking can actually be spoken out on an occasion like this."

"Look at Professor Liu's expression..."

"His mouth is crooked..."

The chaotic voices, as they continued, completely veered off in a crooked direction.

At some unknown point, someone started clapping.

Immediately after, applause surged like a tide, grand and surging from the start, lasting a full nearly half a minute.

After the applause ended, Professor Sun Jiangkun of the Sixth Hospital of Magic Capital took the microphone, his voice suppressing the tail end of the applause: "Many thanks for Professor Fang's guidance and sharing; this trip to the conference has truly been immensely beneficial."

"Just wondering, has Professor Fang ever explored and probed in this direction?"

Professor Sun Jiangkun is a professor of Hand Surgery at the Sixth Hospital of Magic Capital; his nationwide fame and Jianghu status are very high, not inferior to Professor Zhong Junyu of Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

The world's first limb replantation was carried out at the Sixth Hospital of Magic Capital; the Sixth Hospital of Magic Capital is also one of the 'holy lands' of Hand Surgery.

Fang Ziye did not recognize Professor Sun Jiangkun, and could only spare a bit of his gaze for Liu Huanglong, letting him introduce.

After Liu Huanglong whispered a few sentences, Fang Ziye then said: "Hello Professor Sun, my profession is Trauma Surgery; the research projects currently underway are also all in the field of Trauma Surgery, so regarding this aspect I was just thinking casually."

"If the professors are interested, feel free to take it and use it."

Fang Ziye knew the other party was asking whether he had started research; Fang Ziye's answer was no.

Of course, Fang Ziye quickly cut off Professor Sun's follow-up: "I myself have no time; I won't be able to squeeze out time for the next few years! ~"

"Just now Professor Liu asked like this, so I threw out some of my previous ideas, hoping to throw a brick to attract jade; if it can provide some inspiration to the professors, that would be best of all."

Fang Ziye expressed his stance very clearly.

Don't look for me, I'm busy, I'm only responsible for digging the pit, not for burying it.

If I had time, this research project wouldn't have fallen to you lot.

Although Fang Ziye's answer was somewhat high-cold, everyone also knew Fang Ziye has many things he can do, and the meaning Fang Ziye expressed was also a fact.

If he had time, would it be your turn to get a share of the meat?

Professor Sun Jiangkun laughed upon hearing this: "Actually, the specialty most suited for this research project is Sports Medicine; Professor Fang, you'd best be prepared to accept a bombing."

In Orthopedics, those doing tendon, meniscus and other surgeries are Sports Medicine.

Moreover, many current technologies in Sports Medicine have all fallen into a platform bottleneck period; if there is no breakthrough, it's estimated that for the next ten or twenty years, it will be very difficult to have any new research.

Rather, Professor Fang's guidance today has given a brand new line of thought; perhaps it is the new wave of Sports Medicine for the next ten years.

Liu Huanglong had finished dripping blood too, only feeling the blood loss was a waste, but could only swallow this dumb loss, secretly hating himself for not should have given Fang Ziye the limelight.

Fang Ziye has never been poor, so he fundamentally doesn't know how to guard the family background.

He hurriedly interjected: "The time isn't early either, professors, below we officially enter the Q&A session; if the professors have any doubts or guidance regarding our morning lecture."

"Please by all means correct! ~"

After Liu Huanglong finished speaking, quite a few people looked at each other; originally they had some tricky questions to ask.

But Fang Ziye's generosity made them feel slightly too embarrassed to make things difficult.

The stuff Fang Ziye just gave wasn't some common street goods.

The theory is right there, it's always been there, we couldn't think of it, Fang Ziye opens his mouth and puts it out there, open and aboveboard; if you still play petty, it's inevitably a bit too lacking in human feeling.

However, just as many people hesitated, a youth who should only be in his thirties raised his hand.

A staff member passed over the microphone; after he took it, he asked with a smile: "Professor Fang, the improvement of the microcirculation instrument shares the same root and origin as the heart-lung machine."

"Following such inference, some other viscera and organs should also have the opportunity to develop their own exclusive microcirculation instruments, such as the liver, kidneys, lungs and other viscera and organs."

"Wondering if Fang Ziye has any insights in this aspect?"

As the youth's voice fell, many people looked toward his direction, expressions struggling.

No, today this is a Hand Surgery academic conference, you ask about other organs? Is the detour not a bit too far?

Fang Ziye's brows furrowed slightly, then he immediately looked toward Liu Huanglong.

This question, Fang Ziye had heard of before, and it was also brought in by Liu Huanglong — that is Academician Cheng Xiaoping of Peking Union Medical College Hospital.

A year ago, Academician Cheng Xiaoping said that abroad they are referencing the limb circulation instrument to conduct simulation improvements on the liver's microcirculation instrument.

A few months ago, Fang Ziye also saw the news.

Liu Huanglong's gaze was somewhat evasive.

Fang Ziye said: "Sorry, this teacher, I am an Orthopedics doctor."

"Other specialties I don't understand very well."

Fang Ziye doesn't have too much favorable impression of organ transplantation surgeries.

Of course, perhaps it's also because Fang Ziye isn't a person of other surgical departments, therefore he has no way to understand the greatness of nerve grafting surgery.

The youth immediately interrupted upon hearing this: "Professor Fang, our surgical departments also share the same origins; the general direction and thinking of medical basic research also differ very little."

【119】 "They are all very pure techniques and concepts. Professor Fang should have ideas, right."

"They are all very pure techniques and concepts. Professor Fang should have ideas, right."

"Please, Professor Fang, do not hesitate to instruct me."

Fang Ziye continued looking at Liu Huanglong, who lowered his head slightly. But when he noticed Fang Ziye looking at him, he hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Professor, today we are holding a Hand Surgery academic conference; the Q&A session should also try to stay relevant to our Hand Surgery or to the vascularized composite allotransplantation we discussed today."

"As for other questions, better to wait until after the conference to chat; after all, there are so many Orthopedics colleagues here at the venue."

Hearing this, Professor Zhong Junyu from Peking Union Medical College Hospital also spoke up, his voice steady: "Academic conferences all have themes; questions that deviate too far from the conference theme are more appropriately discussed in private one-on-one."

The young man looked around and saw many people looking at him, so he just nodded: "Thank you, Professor Fang."

Then he handed the microphone to a staff member and spoke no more.

The rest of the agenda concluded normally.

However, Fang Ziye had not yet stepped down from the lecture podium when the young man who had just asked a question, along with another middle-aged man Fang Ziye did not recognize, came up smiling and proactively introduced themselves.

"Hello, Professor Fang. I am Zhao Yuzhu from Zhejiang University First Hospital Hepatobiliary Surgery; this is my student Dou Hua. Dou Hua's question just now was indeed somewhat inappropriate; please forgive him, Professor Fang." The middle-aged man had a slightly high forehead, a square, guozi-shaped face.

Thick brows, star-like eyes, a rounded chin; though smiling, he bore an air of authority — he should be a high-status professor in Hepatobiliary Surgery.

However, Fang Ziye did not know this person either; not only did Fang Ziye not recognize him, but Professor Liu Huanglong beside him also did not recognize the other party.

Orthopedics doctors can barely keep up with knowing experts from other hospitals within Orthopedics; where would they find so much spare time to know national top-tier experts outside Orthopedics?

Fang Ziye replied quite politely: "Hello, Professor Zhao. I am Fang Ziye from Zhongnan Hospital Orthopedics; I am very sorry I cannot answer Professor Dou Hua's question."

Before Zhao Yuzhu could speak, Fang Ziye seized the initiative and cut off his follow-up: "Professor Zhao, I do not understand General Surgery well, and I lack the corresponding technical level."

Hearing this, Zhao Yuzhu's eyelids twitched a few times, but he still forced out a smiling face and said: "Professor Fang, I know your tasks are heavy and it is hard to squeeze out time."

"However, Professor Fang, currently organ transplantation surgery is a very mature surgery globally, and regarding the preservation of donor organs in organ transplantation — this node is the core position of competition for all transplant surgeons."

"If anyone can extend the preservation time in advance, they can mobilize usable organ resources over a larger scope and seize the initiative."

"I still hope Professor Fang can prioritize the overall situation and be able to……"

Hearing this, Fang Ziye directly raised a hand to interrupt: "No no no, wait a moment, Professor Zhao."

"I am an Orthopedics doctor; currently I am just a Trauma Surgery doctor. Prioritizing the overall situation centered on me means doing my proper job well, performing a few more surgeries, treating a few more patients' pain; if I have more energy, I'll do a bit of small research."

"As for the resources, the initiative, the overall situation you speak of — I really cannot see through them, and I do not have that great an ability."

Once, Deng Yong told himself.

His root is Orthopedics; the deepest root is Trauma Surgery.

If this root is not driven deep enough, then his foundation will be unsteady; even a retreat path might not exist when the time comes.

So, before absolutely securing his own foundation, do not branch out beyond his field.

Fang Ziye's current tangled roots are all within the big circle of Orthopedics — Trauma Surgery as primary, Hand Surgery as secondary, Bone Disease as incidental.

Within this circle, Fang Ziye's roots are firm enough; he can play around casually without breaking rank, and no one will come looking for trouble with Fang Ziye.

But outside the circle it is different.

"Professor Fang thinking this way is really too narrow-minded. Orthopedics patients are patients; Hepatobiliary Surgery patients are also common people — they also need treatment. If one's ability is sufficient, one should still contribute more within one's capability range."

"Professor Fang, do you have some concern? Or some misunderstanding?" Zhao Yuzhu's gaze was deep, as if trying to induce Fang Ziye.

Fang Ziye shook his head: "Professor Zhao, it's not that there's a misunderstanding; concerns are naturally many."

"I am just a Trauma Surgery doctor; what I learned is Trauma Surgery technique; what I eat is this bowl of rice."

"As for other aspects, I hope Teacher Zhao can be magnanimous and not engage in moral kidnapping."

"After all, we Orthopedics have so many patients, yet we haven't seen Hepatobiliary Surgery doctors come to treat them, or come regularly to inspect and patrol……"

"Surgery has its specializations! ~" Fang Ziye answered quite cautiously, but was already not subservient.

Because Fang Ziye now, to a certain extent, can represent Orthopedics in saying some words.

Such words are not excessive; anyone would acknowledge them.

Zhao Yuzhu's expression flickered; he seemed to know Fang Ziye's inner thoughts: "Professor Fang, surgical technique has no good or bad! ~"

Fang Ziye nodded heavily: "Yes, Professor Zhao, thank you for your guidance; your words further affirm my thinking."

"Surgical technique has no good or bad; our clinical patients also have no high or low, noble or base distinction; our Orthopedics patients are not inferior by a single notch."

"So, I devote myself wholeheartedly to researching our Trauma Surgery techniques, doing our Trauma Surgery research, striving to serve Orthopedics patients more and improve their diagnostic and treatment quality — this belongs to the right path, is the Great Dao!"

"It is not the so-called narrow-mindedness."

"Thank you, Professor Zhao, for your recognition and invitation; merely personal ability is limited, and I am just one person; a day only has twenty-four hours; sorry."

Organ transplantation surgery is simply not a universal-benefit surgery.

Ninety-nine percent of people cannot afford this kind of surgery; ninety-nine percent of people are just donor banks.

On this point of stance, Fang Ziye's roots are very firm.

"Fang Ziye. Where is Fang Ziye?" Beside Liu Huanglong, Professor Du Tianwen from the Provincial People's Hospital Hand Surgery called out.

"Ah, Teacher Du." Hearing this, Fang Ziye hurriedly raised his hand.

"Just looking for you. Ah, sorry, didn't know you were chatting with other teachers." Professor Du Tianwen's expression was 'startled'; he stepped closer then retreated two steps.

"Professor Zhao, I also have business with Professor Du; how about we chat in detail next time if there's a chance?" Fang Ziye forced out a smiling face, cupping his hands slightly.

Zhao Yuzhu was also a person who values face; he cupped his fists: "Then Professor Fang, next time if fate allows we'll meet again……"

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Fang Ziye parted with Zhao Yuzhu, then walked toward Du Tianwen's direction; his face turned stern for a moment, then he arrived at Professor Du Tianwen's side.

"Hello, Teacher Du……" Fang Ziye greeted Du Tianwen, ignoring Liu Huanglong beside him.

Liu Huanglong also hurriedly greeted: "Ziye, you're here."

Fang Ziye lifted his eyelids, glanced at Liu Huanglong, and said: "Teacher Du, let's go eat. After lunch, I still have to make a trip to the sanatorium."

If these two people today have absolutely nothing to do with Liu Huanglong, then Fang Ziye's three characters can be written backwards — written as Ye Zi Fang!

Of course, Fang Ziye was not angry either, and did not blame them.

In the martial world, one is at the mercy of circumstances.

Liu Huanglong's Old Mount Tai is admittedly his greatest reliance, and also one of the sources of his lack of autonomy.

Everything is a double-edged sword.

Liu Huanglong caught up with a bitter smile, continuing to force a smile as if making an effort to fawn...
