Chapter 688: Chapter 613: Induction Material

Beijing Union Medical College Hospital.

Professor Liang sat in his office chair, with his glasses on the table in front of him. He was listening to Professor Hu Guolin report on the arrangements for the second phase of the clinical trial of the external spinal fixation frame.

"Very good, invite Yang Ping to demonstrate the surgery when necessary. After all, it is a new technology, which we have only mastered theoretically. Observing a few surgeries would be better. Also, 301 Hospital has taken action and provided Yang Ping with 10 beds and a supporting team, regularly inviting him to perform surgeries at 301. This form of cooperation works. We can imitate it. We have more case resources, especially unique cases than 301. We should also provide Yang Ping with 10 beds and equip him with a team to assist him. This team will be led by Song Yun, and we will select a few experienced doctorate holders. Young people working together will feel more comfortable."

Professor Liang leaned back in his chair, squinted slightly, and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Professor Hu Guolin suggested, "301 Hospital provides 10 beds. Can we increase the number of beds, ideally double it? It would be much easier for us to increase the number of beds."

Professor Liang slowly shook his head. "No need to increase. We should not engage in this kind of hostile competition, which would eventually lead us all to an awkward situation. Our aim to get Yang Ping into our Hospital on a cooperative basis is the same as 301’s: love for talent, respect for talent. I have to admit that this young man is a rare genius. None of the young people I have met can compare with him. Take this external spinal fixation frame for example. The animal experimental data was so good that I once suspected some manipulation. But after verification, I found there was no problem. Unexpectedly, he developed this new technology in just a few months."

"I heard that 301 will take further action. It seems that their intention is not simply to cooperate." Professor Hu Guolin expressed some concern.

Professor Liang smiled. "Don’t worry, if Yang Ping were to change places, it would be better for him to come here than to go to 301; our environment here is more suited to him. But I’ve been thinking for a long time, neither coming to us nor going to 301 would be the best thing for him. It will rather limit his development. I am still contemplating what would be the best for him. Let’s first bring him into our care group. I have met with Qin Shi and Liu Xingguo to discuss this, and they will handle this."

"I also spent some time at Sanbo Hospital and have some understanding of Yang Ping’s character. This young man usually doesn’t talk much. He seems very profound. He doesn’t participate much in hospital meetings, always sending his assistant in his place. He only cares about his patients and their conditions. He doesn’t seem to be interested in anything else. This makes other people find it hard to get along with him." Professor Hu Guolin concluded.

Professor Liang disagreed with Professor Hu, "Well, he’s a genius. Moreover, every genius has some unique personality traits. His uniqueness makes him a genius. If he were like everyone else, he wouldn’t be a genius. Sanbo Hospital is very good at tolerating this. We can’t be that tolerant."

"I agree with that. The dean of Sanbo Hospital also has a unique personality. He and Han Jiangong granted Yang Ping full surgery privileges. For a young doctor who has only been working for a few years and has not undergone other specialized training, the privileges would not be granted to him in other hospitals. What if his patient died?" Professor Hu Guolin has always been puzzled as to why Sanbo Hospital is so bold.

At the time, there was a case of scoliosis correction surgery with concurrent cardiopulmonary malformation adhesions, and Yang Ping was actually allowed to perform the scoliosis correction and cardiopulmonary surgery at the same time.

This kind of cross-disciplinary surgery would never happen in other hospitals. If anyone proposed such an idea, he would certainly be ridiculed.

"That’s why he stayed at Sanbo. Being honest, I was also initially set on bringing him in, but I gave up on that idea later. As long as he doesn’t go abroad and can stay in the country, I am content. If he were to be truly introduced to our hospital, I can protect him in the field of orthopedics, but who would protect him outside of my field? The tree that stands tall catches the strongest wind. His character is suitable for academics, but he easily offends people. At Sanbo, he has the protection of Xia Changjiang, so he is able to create impressive results. If he came to our hospital, the foundation would be troubled. How could everyone agree to give so much funding to him alone for research? How could the upper ranks agree? Who among the hospital’s leadership would dare to advance this kind of initiative like Xia Changjiang? If there were any problems, Xia Changjiang would be completely in the wrong." Professor Liang greatly admired Dean Xia.

"Yes, indeed. When the foundation was established, Xia Changjiang went through a lot of effort. I heard he was running every day between the Provincial Hall, Civil Affairs, and Provincial Government, lobbying various top-ranking officials to sign." Professor Hu Guolin was familiar with this matter.

"This young man will have a great future, and he’s capable of making a big impact. Sanbo Hospital is a hospital directly under the Provincial Hall. Still, it’s a bit weak, a bit mismatched with his capabilities. I’m wondering if we can push for an upgrade at Sanbo. How exactly to upgrade it, I haven’t thought that through. I need to discuss this with a few old leaders." Professor Liang seemed to be deep in thought.

"Last time, there was an issue with Hans’s company that nearly ruined the external spinal fixation frame. Sanbo Hospital alone couldn’t handle such a thing." Professor Hu Guolin was still frightened by the memory.

The color on Professor Liang’s face changed, "Humph! It’s just a company, even if it’s a multinational giant, what can they do? Their actions were in opposition to our entire medical field. It would’ve been courteous not to kick them out. Luckily, they surrendered after adjustments. How would it matter even if they got kicked out? There would be someone to fill the void in the market."

"What I meant was, this incident exposed the problem that you’re worried about. Sanbo Hospital is too vulnerable and mismatched with Yang Ping’s abilities. This was just one external spinal fixation frame. In the future, if he makes something even more valuable and threatens someone else’s interests, he will be in trouble. This time we were fortunate that you intervened promptly. We may not be so lucky next time." Professor Hu Guolin expressed his concern.

Professor Liang nodded, "Yes, which is why I am thinking of how to upgrade Sanbo to make the platform bigger and stronger so that he can have more freedom."

"Old Liang, there’s one more thing,"

Professor Hu seemed quite troubled.

"What is it?" asked Professor Liang.

Professor Hu gathered his thoughts before speaking, "Our hospital has requested to visit the MIT Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, but we were denied by them. Zhang Chunquan said that the project is currently closed to outside visitors and he can do nothing about it. I heard that they have established inducible pluripotent stem cells and made the most breakthrough progress in the mechanism of stem cell regeneration and differentiation. That brings them a step closer to cloning complete organs. The greatest contributor to this project is actually Zhang Chunquan."

Professor Liang slowly asked, "Zhang Chunquan has taken American citizenship, hasn’t he?"

"Yes!" answered Professor Hu in a low voice.

Professor Liang was silent, feeling a sharp pain in his heart.

Before his shift, Yang Ping had some time, and he was not to be disturbed. He was conducting experiments in the lab within the system space.

He used the teratoma test body purchased from the system mall to observe how teratomas grow and develop, observing their cell division and differentiation at each stage under the electron microscope, and then photographing them.

Yang Ping also extracted bodily fluids from the surrounding environment of the teratoma’s growth to research whether there exist any kind of inducing substances. The aim was to find out how the human body regulated and induced the differentiation of pluripotent stem cells.

This was a massive task, but the instantaneous rule of the system space made time extremely cheap.

However, there was a psychological limit to how long one could stay in the system space. Yang Ping’s current psychological limit was increasing, and he was staying longer and longer.

Yang Ping tried to stay until his maximum limit each time he experimented, exiting only then to rest for a while in the real world before going in again when he found a quiet moment.

The relief period set by the system space was like a man’s refractory period. After staying in the space for a while, he needed to come out, rest, survive the refractory period, and then repeat the cycle.

During this period of research, he achieved some minor breakthroughs.

He found that some inducing substances existed in the surrounding environment of the teratoma. Different types of differentiated tissues from the teratoma had different substances surrounding them, whereas the same types of tissues had the same substances.

The strangest thing was that these substances were precisely distributed within the range of certain tissue cells, beyond which these substances would automatically decompose and vanish.

Yang Ping inferred that these substances could possibly act as inducing substances.

His next task was to analyze these biochemical substances.
