When the volunteers arrived at the South African laboratory on time, everyone began to get busy, starting with a more detailed assessment of the patient's physical condition.
Some testing items are really not convenient to carry out in Xia State, but here there are not so many restrictions. If this level of testing and evaluation is not done, the conditions for the experiment will not be met.
It can be seen that the volunteers are quite nervous, and the person in charge of the experiment constantly comforts them.
"Relax, we have already had relatively successful experience. Even if it cannot be completely cured, it will definitely improve. If you don't relax and have a psychological burden, it will not be beneficial to the treatment."
After repeated admonitions, the volunteers gradually relaxed their inner defenses. Didn't they come to volunteer because they trusted Changtian Technology? He is already a guinea pig, which proves how much he trusts Changtian. What's more, no matter how bad the situation is, how bad can it be?
After a few hours of examination, the patients began to rest and recuperate. Chang Tian waited for the examination results and formulated a treatment plan. Everyone's condition is different, so all matters must be decided according to the actual situation.
A week passed like this. During this week, the patient's condition was assessed every day, and specific food and medicine were given to them to make their body and mind reach treatment conditions.
At the same time, Changtian is also determined. Once the treatment is started, the worst case scenario is likely to be the annihilation of the entire army. Even if there is a liability exemption agreement, the psychological level will not be passed. These are living people, not guinea pigs.
"Everyone was able to receive treatment two days ago. Do we still have to wait?" Qu Ping could see Chen Xiao's entanglement and did not put too much pressure when asking. Anyway, the Changtian family has a great cause and it takes a lot of time. rise.
Chen Xiao shook his head and his eyes became firm: "Let's start tomorrow."
"good!"
The physical experiment of brain treatment is finally about to begin, and everyone in the experimental team is nervous. This is different from having only one head. Wei Jun only has one head, so just take care of the head. This time it comes to the whole person, and the complex connections between the brain and the body mean there will be more uncertainty.
For safety reasons, the consciousness of these patients has been backed up to Luoying Town. If it doesn't work, they can still think about it.
It was time to start the treatment. Everyone was extremely serious. No one dared to perform the operation. Qu Ping did it herself. She had to take care of this head.
After the head was cut open, complex neurons were revealed on the screen using special equipment, and the lesions were easily found. Those damaged nerves are like short-circuited wires. No matter how you stimulate them, they are useless and they can no longer receive signals at all. Some give wrong feedback and trigger wrong reactions in the body.
"Block all feedback from the brain to the body, we are going to take action!"
"Received, the electrical signal shielding equipment has been turned on, and the brain has completely lost its intuition."
"Um!"
The next step is to work carefully, and you need to remove the broken nerves bit by bit. This process is like a jigsaw puzzle. Taking pictures of multiple brain lesions, you can eliminate areas one by one, and then re-examine whether there are any omissions.
Fortunately, the previous inspection was detailed enough and the equipment was good. Normally, it would be impossible to figure it out so clearly. The incision is performed using a precision robotic arm, which is an extremely small surgical equipment. The blades and tweezers are only one-tenth of a thread or even smaller, otherwise they would not be able to meet the requirements of such surgery.
If you were to make the blade smaller, it wouldn't be a physical blade, it would be a laser beam. To be on the safe side, Changtian Technology still uses a more traditional scalpel. In fact, this technology is already very advanced, but here it is only a guaranteed technology. If you tell anyone, I will really envy you.
The operation is not completed in one go. People will get tired and need to rest. It is unrealistic to expect one surgeon to remove the necrotic nerves, and someone needs to be replaced.
What Changtian Technology is working on is to allow the brain to be left open after it is opened, and then the operation can be continued after the person has rested. In this way, the existing number of people can be used to complete the operation, and there is no need to prepare several surgeons. The requirements for medical resources will also be lower.
This is a new attempt, and the risk is relatively high. This extremely tests the level of nursing. How to avoid infection without exposing the incision and body tissue, and the body can still function normally. These subjects are not simple in themselves.
"Strictly control the number of bacteria, don't be careless. The purification equipment must be carefully monitored. Are the relevant alarm procedures normal?"
"everything is normal!"
"Okay, you can leave now."
Everyone in the team was a little stupid. Who had seen someone cut a person's head open and leave in the middle of the operation?
I have to say, it has to be Changtian Technology. Playing a technical hooligan is really the best. Who would dare to play like this in another team? Even if you have the guts, you don’t have such high-level equipment.
In fact, no one slept well that night, and the treatment team was half asleep all night. After all, there was a patient who had a craniotomy still in the hospital bed, and he came back to rest on his own. This was weird no matter how you looked at it.
Chen Xiao didn't sleep well either. He was more nervous than anyone else. He gave this order.
He understands that this is a necessary process. Doctors work too hard, especially those who often perform difficult surgeries. They are simply exchanging lives for lives. If this is not reversed, those excellent doctors will quit because their energy and body cannot keep up. this industry.
Who said surgery can’t be interrupted right after it starts?
Just improve the level of care. If such a level of care is not available, how can we talk about post-operative care? The rate of infection during the recovery period after surgery can be much higher than during the surgery.
On the second day, almost all team members arrived at the experimental room ten minutes early with tacit agreement. Qu Ping and Chen Xiao looked at each other with panda eyes and smiled.
When the members of the five teams saw that everyone was not in the right state, they felt a lot calmer in their hearts. It seemed that they were not the only ones worried.
"Don't you always brag about your good health and good rest quality? You claim to fall asleep in three minutes, but two hours is equivalent to eight hours. This gives you a whole night's rest. Look, you can't do this!"
"Don't make trouble! I...I don't have a good rest. How can I call it a bad rest because of the surgery?"
"What's that called?"
"This is because I was given too much rest time, which disrupted my biological habits, so I over-rested and became tired!"
"Oh, are you a bitch?"
"Eh?"
The unconvinced person muttered a few words, generally speaking, "If you don't get enough rest, you've got enough rest."
Everyone laughed, and the air was suddenly filled with joy.
Everyone's mood suddenly relaxed a lot. At least they haven't received any warnings so far. It seems that the condition of the patients in the laboratory is not too bad.
After the preliminary examination, everything was normal. The surgery continued. The surgeon continued to remove the necrotic nerves. Some team members observed the previously removed nerves. At this time, some of those nerves were already "sprouting" again. In the simulated amniotic fluid, cells The all-round function is better stimulated, the brain nerves begin to regenerate, and new link channels are being built.
Another day passed, and on the third day, the team began to change the knife and replaced it with a laser scalpel for removal.
In the past, I was worried that the laser knife would be unstable and cut the wrong healthy nerves, but now I no longer have this worry, because the cell omnipotence allows nerves to grow quickly and accurately, and the steps can be larger.
With the help of the laser scalpel, the next operation was completed in one day.
If we had done this from the beginning, it wouldn't have lasted three days. It's just that Chen Xiao decided that things should be safe, and then look at the conditions before being aggressive. The standards are left to these professionals. If you don't know so much, don't interrupt. Problems will arise when an amateur orders an expert. You can provide reference ideas. Never interfere in decision-making.
In this way, five teams have completed the removal of necrotic nerves. All that is left is to wait for the nerves to grow before evaluating the treatment effect. These volunteers lie quietly in the "amniotic fluid". Under the action of the totipotent cells, the neurons are The growth cycle is five to ten times faster than normal. It’s not that it can’t be faster. Just increase the concentration of growth hormone. However, there will be potential new damage to the body.
Each volunteer lies in the amniotic fluid container, looking like a new human being waiting for rebirth. Such a strange, dreamy and science-fiction scene was shown in South Africa.
Various instruments are working day and night, but the members of the experimental team are not so nervous. They only need to do fixed examinations every day. This is a long-term job. When the patient wakes up, they will have to follow him for many years. If you want to recruit the next group of volunteers, just one month of observation is enough.
A week later, the neurons began to grow, and it was finally time to test the experimental results, and everyone became nervous.
As some machines were shut down and some started, the "amniotic fluid" was slowly drained, the volunteers were lifted up, and replaced with clean and refreshing beds.
Another hour passed, and the volunteers who had slept for a long time woke up one after another.
"I'm... By the way, how long have I been asleep?" Volunteer Tao Xianglin opened his eyes. He was the youngest. Although he was in the worst condition, the overall loss of his brain was not that great.
"You have been dormant for ten days. How do you feel now?"
"My brain is clear and I don't have to speak so hard anymore. It's just that my body can't use the strength..."
"It's okay. This is normal. The brain is calling the body and is waiting for a response. You will feel more details of the body. Don't worry, we have observed that your condition has improved significantly..."
Tao Xianglin smiled: "I feel this, and I can remember many things from the past."
He is a rare case of ALS and Alzheimer's disease. When he was first selected, Changtian Technology said that this was absolutely God's will. The people in the experimental team looked at him like a hungry wolf looking at fat meat. , such a special and special case was selected. God really gave Changtian Technology a big gift.
After other patients woke up from hibernation, their moods were very stable, and they realized that their condition had improved without anyone else telling them.
One day later, two cases of simple Alzheimer's disease were able to get out of bed. They could not remember things, nor had they lost control of their bodies, so they naturally recovered much faster.
Therefore, the family members of these two patients have been able to meet with them. The doctor asked the family members to ask many questions about the past, and they all answered them one by one.
"What's the name of the girl you like in kindergarten?"
The experimenters were a little speechless. This is what they came up with?
"This is a bit difficult..." the experimenter muttered in his heart.
"I don't remember." The patient was a little embarrassed.
"to be honest!"
"My surname is Mo, my name is Miaomiao!"
"Damn it! You really still remember her! When is our wedding anniversary!"
"Um, September 21st?"
"Doctor! I don't want this person anymore!"
This is all a bullshit problem. The patient would rather not be cured of his illness right now. How come this unlucky thing can't remember the things that should be remembered, but remembers the things that should be remembered without changing them.
Qu Ping has almost lost sight of this patient, but the theory is correct. Only the unforgettable memory can be retrieved. Sometimes things that are usually taken for granted cannot be remembered.
Overall, Alzheimer's disease patients are doing very well, with much, much better memory recovery.
The conditions of the ALS patients who are most concerned about have also improved significantly, and each of them can barely hold a spoon to eat. These people have been paralyzed for many years and have long forgotten the feeling of the body, which is equivalent to newborns learning all over again.
In view of their mental condition, visits were simply allowed.
"I hope it won't be too noisy." Chen Xiao has already foreseen the consequences, but this is a happy noisy, so he doesn't care so much.
Sure enough, the scene got a little out of control.
"Son! You can actually sit up and eat by yourself!" Tao Xianglin's mother burst into tears. This son made her worry a lot.
"Don't cry, don't cry! I'm fine!" Tao Xianglin's eyes were red. Since he got sick, his mother never cried in front of him. She always cried in hiding. This time, he couldn't hold back anymore.
After crying for a while, Tao Xianglin's mother finally calmed down and watched with surprise as her son did various things while the experimenters performed various tests in front of her.
"Son! You can actually write by yourself!"
"Your feet can actually move!"
"Your hands actually have ten kilograms of grip strength!"
"Auntie, please be more restrained, otherwise you will have to stand behind the glass and observe."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I will definitely stop talking!"
After two weeks of follow-up physical therapy, the patients are finally returning to China. Although the functions of the ALS patients have not been completely restored, it is enough to shock the world.
When these patients all appeared in the Xia Guo Intensive Treatment Center, countries all over the world held their breath. A press conference that would change mankind was about to begin.
