Chapter 3024: with translation of chapter title
When leaving Peng lao's home, it was already very late.
Actually Peng lao and his lover, without spending much time discussing, agreed to go for the 912 Shou Bing treatment; Zheng Ren thought it was probably still because his own Nobel Prize laureate fame was at work, and it had nothing to do with the Charm Value mentioned by Big Pig Trotter.
For the rest of the time, Peng lao's mood seemed to improve a bit, and he pulled Zheng Ren to learn about the related 5g remote Shou Bing project.
Because it was getting late, under Bao Longtao's countless eye hints, Zheng Ren bade farewell and left.
"Zheng Lao Ban, tomorrow I'll come to find you to handle hospitalization procedures." As they were about to part, Bao Longtao said.
"Hmm, the documents are all complete; I suggest an emergency Shou Bing." Zheng Ren said, "The elderly person is recuperating well at Shuai Fu; speaking of the geriatric discipline, with the technique strength of Di Du Hospital and Shuai Fu as a backup, the Shou Bing should be done as early as possible."
Although Bao Longtao accepted everything Zheng Ren said, he was still a little worried; this kind of worry and anxious emotion couldn't be expressed, so in the end he could only grasp Zheng Ren's hand with both hands, full of trust.
Getting into the car to go home, Su Yun this time felt concerned; he asked doubtfully, "Boss, how did you estimate your 45 minutes?"
"Actually the best means is diverticuloscope treatment, but the elderly person's obstruction location makes it unsuitable." Zheng Ren said, "We just need to scale back the expectations a bit; your previously designed scheme is still comprehensive."
Su Yun frowned.
"An 84-year-old elderly person has very slow self-recovery ability. As long as the obstruction is resolved, even if the diverticulum's tissue structure remains there, how could it grow further? I estimate that even if it grows again, it would take about 5-8 years. By then…… if we really could reach that time, it would also be a good thing."
Zheng Ren's logic is very simple: only do conservative treatment, even more conservative than what Su Yun said.
With endoscopic means, after entering, we don't seek removal; we just need to contact the obstruction.
Under normal circumstances, the commonly used procedure for Zenker diverticulum Shou Bing is cricopharyngeal muscle incision plus diverticulectomy, or simple cricopharyngeal muscle incision.
Not doing these major-trauma treatments, just contacting the obstruction…… seems possible as well.
Su Yun knew this might be something his boss thought of later, with no time to communicate. He frowned, thought a bit, and asked, "What then? What if there's a problem?"
"As long as the esophageal obstruction is opened, regular follow-ups, before a possible recurrence we can do the diverticuloscope earlier. The injury is smaller, so no need to worry."
"You've done it?"
"I've read it in books; it's not difficult." Zheng Ren laughed, "The diverticuloscope is inserted through the mouth, the long end placed into the esophageal lumen, the short end placed into the diverticulum, using an endoscopic linear cutting stapler to cut the ridge between the diverticulum and esophagus, forming a 'V'-shaped opening between them, making the two share a common lumen to relieve the obstruction caused by diverticular compression on the esophagus."
"You think you can do it just from reading books?" Su Yun's tone was somewhat mocking.
"What era is this now, don't always think about doing open-chest surgery." Zheng Ren said, "All kinds of previous procedures will gradually be phased out, for example diverticulum. If your research succeeds, I think future surgery will gradually withdraw from the historical stage."
"I've thought about it; that would be thirty or fifty years later." Su Yun blew a breath, feeling slightly proud. But just then a cold wind blew, pressing his black forehead hair onto the top of his head, and it wouldn't blow up.
"I've thought it over; the elderly person's Shou Bing should be as conservative as possible, no need to consider long-term issues." Zheng Ren said, "Just like the Shou Bing I did earlier with Xiao Cao, your esophageal cancer anastomotic stenosis won't be a big problem in the future."
"Tsk tsk, really don't know where your full confidence comes from."
"Technological progress, as long as you don't court death, it's very easy."
"Not courting death, how easy is that? You just talk about Xiao Shitou's gene therapy; his pulmonary fibrosis looks increasingly severe to me." Su Yun said.
"You said autologous cloning, is the technology for 3D-printed heart mature?" Zheng Ren suddenly asked.
"Huh? You want to give him a lung transplant?" Su Yun immediately realized what Zheng Ren wanted to do.
"If pulmonary tissue fibrosis cannot be contained, then only a lung transplant can be done." Zheng Ren said, "Although the Shou Bing is big, the trauma is big, but that's the last resort."
"Caution, caution." The usually unrestrained Su Yun said calmly at this moment, "Let me tell you a secret."
"Huh?"
"Do you know why I stopped later?" Su Yun asked.
"Isn't it because of your Teacher?"
"That's the reason I left Di Du; the reason I gave up stem cell cloning and the 3D-printed project is because I discovered I could alter gene sequencing. I performed a similar procedure once; gene sequencing…… I won't say it, but anyway, after heart transplantation, the white mice's overall body weight increased, and their ferocity also increased. Especially their teeth, that's called sharp."
"Mutation?"
"I didn't study it in detail; I just sealed all the files."
Arriving at the unit entrance, Su Yun stopped, didn't go in, but took out a cigarette, took one out and gave it to Zheng Ren.
"Pandora's box, once opened, what's inside is not certain."
"You always have to take a look to know."
"No, the cages I keep for the white mice are all specially made; do you know why?"
"Oh? This thing can also be specially made?"
"Yeah, there are hidden cameras, but not to watch the white mice; I want to see who comes to sabotage my research." Su Yun lit the cigarette and said with a chuckle.
"That's too much persecution delusion."
"Can't say that either; the cages are all alloy, strength…… forget it, saying this is meaningless. You just need to know that the white mouse gnawed through its cage and ran away on its own; after altering gene sequencing, the organism is called ferocious."
"……"
Zheng Ren suddenly thought of the gene soldiers mentioned many years ago.
"The technology is relatively mature; if you mess around, there may not necessarily be any reaction later. But back then there were many things going on, and I didn't have the energy to study it carefully, so I just left it at that."
"Xiao Shitou definitely shouldn't be messed around with; if a lung transplant is done, we can give it a try. But before the trial, you need to think it through well."
"How does it feel like a mad scientist?"
"You look at sci-fi movies from the 1960s; many of their ideas have become reality. It's said that Jobs got inspiration from watching a movie and created Apple Inc."
"Don't talk nonsense, that's not the main point." Zheng Ren said, "Let me think again; I hope Xiao Shitou's condition won't progress to this point. On your side, also hurry up……"
"You think it's like steamed buns, saying 'hurry up' and it's done! Those are nanorobots; materials science is a big deal."
On a cold night, two points of firelight flickered indistinctly.
The night was somewhat quiet.
Suddenly, the noise from the first floor rose up, interrupting Zheng Ren's thoughts; it seemed that the couple started fighting again.
He lightly sighed, finished his cigarette and hurried back; hearing their quarrel made him feel a bit annoyed.
But this time the quarrel was fierce, incessant, mixed with shrill screams. Could it be domestic violence? Zheng Ren's brow furrowed.
But upon careful recollection, it seemed the screams were coming from the man.
The man…… being subjected to domestic violence…… Zheng Ren recalled the scene of Liu Xu zhi's wife chasing and beating him to the hospital with a rolling pin.
Subsequently, the sound of a door slamming rang out, the unit door opened, and a man walked out with strange steps.
