"Great, the patient is fine!"
I saw that the patient was still fine two hours after receiving 200ml of artificial blood.
All the doctors and nurses surrounding the hospital bed suddenly cheered.
The emergency doctor excitedly patted Liu Zhengming on the shoulder and said, "Director Liu, your artificial blood project is very useful and of great significance. A life was saved today."
Director Liu couldn't suppress the excitement deep in his heart, and nodded: "If artificial blood can really become popular, then this kind of ischemia situation will never happen again."
The nurse next to me couldn't help but ask: "Do we still need blood donations from those three volunteers?"
The two looked at each other, and the emergency doctor muttered: "To be on the safe side, let's wait for blood donation. The patient's anemia should be temporarily relieved, so there is no need to rush."
Liu Zhengming also agreed: "The first transfusion of artificial blood should still be treated conservatively. Since the patient is out of critical condition, let's wait until the donated blood arrives before performing the surgery."
"That's right, artificial blood has just been injected into the patient's body, so we should observe it for a few more days."
"It is not advisable to transfuse too much at one time. At least this time it has been proven that a blood volume of 200ml will not have adverse effects on the patient."
"By the way," the emergency doctor suddenly thought of something: "Director Liu, since your experimental report says that it is okay for ordinary people to receive this artificial blood transfusion, then if our hospital is really short of blood, can we also take it? Hematopoietic support?"
"Hey, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." If blood is not available in stock, I will not suggest using artificial blood. Ordinary people who want blood transfusions should allocate it from the blood bank."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
After returning to the office and taking a big gulp of tea, Liu Zhengming called Director Huang and told him the good news.
Director Huang was suddenly surprised and delighted: "Confirmed? It's okay even if you lose 200ml? That's great."
"Yes, if nothing else, at least there will be no more blood shortages in Mumbai."
Director Huang thought further than he did: "There are already more than 100 cases of the Bombay blood type in the country. Whether there is a blood shortage or not, the impact will not be big."
"If artificial blood has the same effect on ordinary people, it will be of great significance to the blood bank. All the difficulties we are currently facing will be solved, and we no longer have to worry about people being unwilling to donate blood for free."
"But, you also know that Sanqing has not solved the problem of mass production yet." Liu Zhengming reminded.
Director Huang pondered for a moment and said: "Having said this, I remembered that there is not only one rare blood type in the country, Bombay blood. There is also a rare blood type that millions of people across the country have been in extreme shortage of. It’s simply hard to get blood.”
"You are talking about Rh-negative blood, right? This blood is called panda blood for no reason. However, now there are rare blood type alliances organized by private organizations all over the country, which can also alleviate the blood shortage to some extent."
"Old Liu, you are not from a blood bank. You don't know how severe the blood shortage is across the country." Director Huang sighed.
"Recently, the inventory of the Provincial Blood Center has fallen below the minimum inventory warning line. I just issued a blood donation initiative yesterday, calling on all major agencies, enterprises, institutions, social groups and the general public to donate blood free of charge."
"You said, I am facing a blood shortage every day, can I not be anxious? Especially in winter, the off-season for blood collection is coming again, and the whole country is in a blood shortage."
Liu Zhengming comforted him: "You are also working hard. In fact, the free blood donation system has already played a great role."
Director Huang sighed and said, "It's difficult to donate blood, which makes it difficult to use blood. The difficulty in using blood makes it difficult to donate blood. Now it's an endless cycle."
"To tell you the truth, only artificial blood can truly solve the century-old problem of blood shortage."
At this point, he seemed to have made up his mind and said: "I will immediately report the latest situation to the superiors and make every effort to advance this matter."
Liu Zhengming nodded with deep sympathy and said, "Director Huang, you are a capable person, so I will wait for your good news."
At the same time, there were many reports online soliciting blood donors from "Mumbai".
"Please spread the word! The whole city of Kunming is urgently looking for the Mumbai blood type to save lives. It is 80 times rarer than the sea of panda blood!"
"The patient suffered severe bleeding in a car accident and required surgery. He is in a state of severe anemia. If you have Bombay blood type, please lend a helping hand!"
"A patient is in urgent need of life-saving 'dinosaur blood', and the whole city is looking for blood donors in Mumbai."
In the Internet age, the propagation of any message is measured in milliseconds.
With the dinosaur blood gimmick, this news quickly reached the top of the search list.
The condition of this rare patient with dinosaur blood instantly touched the hearts of enthusiastic netizens across the country.
"Another blood type has been discovered, which is unique in the world."
"My first reaction was that I found dinosaur blood."
"Is this the legendary descendant of the dragon?"
"Dinosaur blood? It sounds more powerful than panda blood."
"This is the first time I've even heard of panda blood."
"We should find all the dinosaur blood in the country, build a dinosaur group, and keep in touch with each other more often. After all, the only ones who can help them are the people in the group."
"In this situation, we can only help each other if we have the same blood type. I would like to donate blood, but I am powerless."
"People like this should protect themselves, get sick less often, and go out less often."
"Suddenly I feel very safe with my mediocre type A blood."
"Very good. I'm an ordinary B. I'm not short of money wherever I go."
"This person should draw some blood while he is healthy in the future and give it to himself as a spare."
"Although things are rare and valuable, it is troublesome when it comes to blood transfusions. I don't know whether it is good or bad."
"You can't find much of this blood even if you look around the world."
"I also have dinosaur blood. I didn't expect to find the same kind. I will call the Kunshi blood station right now."
The power of the Internet is indeed powerful, and soon several dinosaur blood volunteers called from all over the country to express their willingness to donate blood.
Although no blood donation was successful due to distance and time, they all received shocking good news.
That is, dinosaur blood will no longer be rare.
But there is a better alternative like artificial blood.
In the future, this situation of hard-to-get blood will no longer exist.
Even if a person with dinosaur blood type bleeds again, there is no need to recruit volunteers online with great fanfare like this time.
The media also learned about this in subsequent follow-up reports. They keenly discovered the existence of artificial blood and were instantly excited.
Sanqing’s artificial blood will solve the problem of extreme scarcity of dinosaur blood.
This is undoubtedly big news that will make the whole Internet excited.
As a result, the second piece of news about dinosaur blood that night hit the hot search again.
"Within one day, things took a turn for the better. The patient with dinosaur blood was successfully brought back from the brink of death after being transfused with artificial blood developed by Sanqing Group."
"Shocked, Sanqing actually developed artificial blood. From then on, dinosaur blood is no longer rare."
"The world's first artificial blood was successfully developed in my country and entered the clinical stage. This is undoubtedly a major breakthrough for Chinese biology."
"Sanqing has once again created a miracle. Can artificial blood change the world and solve the problem of blood use?"
“Artificial blood – the end of the free blood donation system?”
Major media and big Vs have forwarded it and expressed their views, trying to comprehensively explain the impact and shock on society from various perspectives such as macro, micro, economics, sociology, literature, medicine, etc.
The onlookers were stunned by the huge amount of information.
“I don’t know what else to say other than awesome!”
"It's Sanqing again! I'm already numb."
"Don't be too shocked. Think about it. If artificial blood becomes popular, will there really be no shortage of blood?"
"Looking at news reports, artificial blood has no A, B, or H antigens on its red blood cells, so it can be transfused to most people. It is simply a universal blood."
"To be honest, the current free blood donation system is really problematic. Anyway, after I donated once, I never went there again."
"Three years ago, I went to the blood station to donate blood. I agreed to donate only 200ml, but people kept urging me to donate 400ml. The two of us kept fighting there, just like fighting with Mr. Tony in the barber shop. But when I looked back , someone secretly drew 400ml of blood while I wasn’t paying attention, which made me dizzy for several days and made me really angry.”
"Hey, I have also encountered the kind of thing mentioned above. In fact, I also understand them. It's because of ischemia, so I always advise you to donate more blood. As long as you are healthy, I advise you to donate 400ml. But I understand, I still It’s quite heartbreaking.”
"It's not that I don't support voluntary blood donation, but the biggest problem is that the blood donation certificate cannot be used across provinces, which is very annoying."
"Hey, don't mention it. I'm from Su Province. I donate blood once every six months in this province. I donated a total of at least 2,000ml. But I went to Beijing for surgery. When I needed a blood transfusion, my blood donation certificate was useless. A few hundred milliliters were not enough. If I can’t be reimbursed, what’s the use of this blood donation certificate?”
"Indeed, the current free blood donation system still has various problems. Mutual blood donation has been stopped again. Artificial blood may be the only way to solve the problem."
"Hahaha, I have dinosaur blood. I used to be scared every day for fear of getting hurt. With artificial blood, at least I don't have to worry about running out of blood in the future."
"Artificial blood is a good thing. To be honest, you don't know how serious the blood shortage is in first-tier cities. Many major surgeries require a large amount of blood. Blood banks cannot only give out blood, so they require family members to donate blood first and then use blood for patients. , this is already an unwritten rule.”
"Tsk, tsk, since it was mentioned above, let me say more. In fact, when you are suffering from ischemia, the hospital can find a blood dealer by default. I have encountered it. The doctor directly said to me, it's okay, you go and take care of it first. Blood, I will help you find a solution for the rest of the review."
"There is no way, if there is demand there will be a market, even if it is a gray area."
"Hey, sometimes patients can't help it. My dad needed a lot of blood for a heart surgery, and he was constantly suffering from ischemia. The surgery was delayed again and again. It took a month or two to arrange it. You can tell me whether it's outrageous or not."
"For so many years, whoever uses the blood is the one who gets the blood. In this case, what should we do if we don't contact the blood dealer?"
"Two elderly people in my family have undergone major surgeries in Beijing. They have to donate blood for RMB 800 each time. Without blood dealers, they can only wait to die. How can outsiders find so many relatives to donate blood? To some extent, the patient's family members are of course grateful for the blood. dealer."
"Whether it is the hospital, the patient's family, or the blood dealer, each has its own difficulties. Before, I hated blood dealers very much, until I saw with my own eyes a family member of a patient waiting for help begging his grandfather and grandma to let pedestrians on the roadside donate blood for him. But after being rejected repeatedly, I turned to the blood dealer not far away. I instantly understood the helplessness and sadness. There is no right or wrong when it comes to saving lives."
"The main reason is that the blood dealers charge too harsh fees and exploit blood donors too much. Otherwise, it's not a bad thing."
"Illegal trading naturally has high profits, otherwise no one would do it."
"But when I saw the news about artificial blood today, I felt completely relieved."
"Sanqing's artificial blood is really beneficial to the country and the people. There is no greater good."
****
At the Sanqing headquarters, Wei Kang was browsing the web.
He was also a little surprised by the overwhelming news about artificial blood on the Internet.
In fact, Sanqing is not the only team in the country that studies blood products such as artificial red blood cells and platelets.
Some other scientific research teams are also engaged in research in this area, so the Sanqing project did not attract too much attention when it was established.
Only after entering the first clinical phase did it attract the attention of the above.
Originally, he planned to wait until it entered the third clinical phase and had more clinical data before making an official announcement.
I never expected that the media would reveal it in advance, breaking the original plan.
"However, the hospital also encountered an emergency situation. It happened that the Bombay blood patient needed a large amount of blood transfusion, so he had to use artificial blood as a substitute, and achieved good results. This also proves that artificial blood is safe and reliable."
"Okay, let's publicize it in advance so that everyone can learn about blood transfusions early. Then it will be easier to receive artificial blood."
Wei Kang thought silently in his heart.
Suddenly, the mobile phone rang on the table.
When I picked it up and took a look, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Hey, Academician Chang, long time no see. Oh, you wanted to ask about artificial blood. Yes, it is our latest research and development result."
The visitor was Academician Chang Sanwei. As a big boss in biology, when he saw the advent of artificial blood, he immediately called to ask for details.
"Xiaowei, where was your paper published? Why didn't I see it after I looked around?" Chang Sanwei asked pleasantly.
Wei Kang said with some embarrassment: "Oh, we didn't write a paper. Why did we publish it in a magazine? We have already broken up with foreign academic circles, and we still send them papers? Although I do charity, I am not stupid."
"Sanqing is an enterprise, not a scientific research institution. As long as there are products produced, it won't have much impact whether there are papers or not."
The person on the other side was silent for a moment, and then he hesitated and asked, "Well, haven't you considered domestic publications?"
Wei Kang came to his senses at this time and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Why do you, Academician Chang, urge us to write a paper?"
Chang Sanwei laughed and said: "Why, someone has already urged me? It should be normal for everyone to be curious about such an important achievement as artificial blood. We are all academics."
"Well, a doctor from the cooperative hospital has urged me to write the paper, but I'm still hesitant." Wei Kang said a little embarrassed.
Chang Sanwei said quickly: "Xiaowei, you must publish a paper, otherwise I will feel itchy in my heart and I can't stand it. You know that I am also engaged in biology. Well, when I see something groundbreaking come out, But I don’t have a thesis, which makes me feel really sad.”
"This is not what I mean alone. The old guys in the biological world have been sending messages to ask questions in the past two days, but they are thin-skinned, so I, the thick-skinned person, asked."
"Haha, you are joking. In fact, there is also relevant information. I will find someone to sort it out and write a paper."
"That's right. Knowledge sharing is the most important thing in academia. I'm waiting for your paper."
"Okay." After hanging up the phone, Wei Kang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Since the results of artificial blood are so shocking, it seems that this paper cannot be avoided.
But, where exactly should it be published?
This is a question worthy of discussion.
