godfather of surgery

Chapter 631
Academician Xiang and Professor He waited for more than an hour before Yang Ping arrived late. Traffic jams sometimes take a lot of time. This is the case in urban areas during the rush hour of commuting to and from get off work. The car can only move slowly and patiently.

"Professor Yang is here!"

When he saw Yang Ping walk into the office, Professor He immediately got up to greet him.

"Professor Yang! Hello!"

The old academician followed up, immediately held Yang Ping's hand, and greeted him warmly.

Yang Ping was taken aback, Academician Xiang?
The old academician has never met Yang Ping, but Yang Ping has met the old academician many times. To Yang Ping, the old academician is an acquaintance, and the old academician has a very good relationship with the orthopedic field. Yes, Yang Ping gave a wonderful speech at the annual meeting. I don’t know how many times I have heard it in the audience. I even took a group photo of the old academicians before.

A group photo of academics rubbing against celebrities at the start of a school is similar to that of actors rubbing against the red carpet.

So Yang Ping recognized this old academician at a glance. How could he let the old academician call himself "Professor Yang", Yang Ping hurriedly helped the old academician to sit down:
"Mr. Xiang, you should call me Xiao Yang. You call me Professor Yang. My legs are trembling."

Professor He originally wanted to introduce, but the instructor was so excited, he shook Yang Ping's hand before he could introduce himself. Since everyone already knew each other, the introduction was omitted.

"Professor Yang is Professor Yang. Regardless of seniority in academics, he is indeed a hero. It's not bad." The first time Mr. Xiang saw Yang Ping, he was more in line with the image in his mind, stable, confident and cheerful, and also a little humorous , I like such young people very much.

Yang Ping stood in front of the old professor and let the old academician look at him, just like a grandfather looking at his grandson, the more the old academician looked more satisfied.

"Don't stand, sit, sit down and talk naturally without shaking your legs!"

The old academician had heard the name Yang Ping countless times from Professor He, and then from Professor Su.

He took the lead in strongly recommending Yang Ping who was promoted to associate professor.

Academician Xiang finally saw a real person today.

It's like seeing your long-lost relatives, you can be as happy as you want.

If it wasn't for studying Yang Ping's project proposal these days, academician Xiang would not be so eager to see Yang Ping. Tell Professor He, if Yang Ping comes to the digital medicine laboratory, notify him immediately.

Everyone sat down, and the old academician calmed down a lot.

"I just talked about your project design. Stem cells cultivate muscles. Why do you embed research on nerve damage repair? And this sub-project allocates a lot of resources? Nerve damage repair and organ cloning seem a bit irrelevant, right?" Academician Xiang made no secret of his concern for Yang Ping, and talked about the subject in just three sentences.

"Because if the cloned muscle is successful and the muscle is transplanted into the human body, the muscle lacking innervation is a piece of dead meat, without function, and has no value, so the research on nerve damage is packaged together for research, so that the muscle can be truly applied to the human body in the future. "Yang Ping's idea is also simple, anyway, it's a big subject, and it's not bad, all of them are packaged into one piece.

Either don't do this topic, or do research on the whole link if you want to do it.

"You are preparing for a pot of stew. Your subject should be carried out in two ways? Is there any research on micro-printing bio-connectivity on the 3D printing side?" Mr. Xiang wanted to verify his guess, and the bet with Professor He has not yet been completed. The outcome.

The Digital Medicine Laboratory is only responsible for the research on the microanatomy of muscles, and does not know much about the research on 3D bioprinting, but academician Xiang speculates that there will be research in this area according to the idea of ​​Yang Ping's project design.

Yang Ping nodded: "This is the key route for repairing nerve damage. I think only repair at the cellular level can truly repair nerve damage. Other routes are temporary and excessive solutions."

It really hit the nail on the head, and only Academician Xiang, who has been engaged in clinical anatomy all his life, can clearly see this point.

Sometimes regarding the development trend of technology, whether the future path is correct requires extremely high judgment.

The progress of clinical technology depends on the progress of basic theory. A breakthrough in basic theory directly brings about innovations in multiple treatment concepts and methods.

"Repair at the cell level is really a bold idea. Have you thought about the difficulty? How many cutting-edge technology breakthroughs are involved?" The old academician looked deeply at Yang Ping.

Scientific research workers must have the ambition to conquer the stars and the sea.

"Thought about it, we have prepared a long-term plan for this project, and we will overcome the difficulties one by one." Yang Ping has never been afraid of the difficulty of the project. If he only focuses on surgery and does not work hard on scientific research, it will be a waste of resources.

"Young people are awesome. Young people have courage. When doing scientific research, you must have meditation, patience, and perseverance. Don't rush for quick success. Knock it off piece by piece. There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a caring person." The old academician was deeply moved. , I appreciate Yang Ping's ambition very much.

"Professor Yang is really doing research on cell repair of nerve damage." Professor He admired his supervisor's judgment very much.

"That's right, let me just say, there should be repair at the cellular level? This kind of repair at the cellular level is what I call a biological connection. To truly achieve a breakthrough in nerve damage, we must start with cell repair. There is no result after tossing around." Academician Xiang was proud of his victory.

Professor He admires the unique vision of the tutor, but at the same time feels that his vision is still narrow and severely limited by professional knowledge.

Professional suppression is insurmountable. The modern knowledge system is huge and the professional division of labor is meticulous. The talents of each major are very familiar with the knowledge acquired within the major, but know very little about the knowledge outside the major, and are in a state of blindness.

This requires the cooperation of various majors, but there are dead ends in cooperation, for example, areas where majors intersect are common dead ends.

Once someone is proficient in multiple majors and is very familiar with interdisciplinary areas, it is easy to make some breakthroughs.

Three levels of surgery: resection, repair and reconstruction.

The essence of restoration is restoration, restoring the original structure and function.

Because nerves are composed of cells, the damage of nerves is ultimately the damage or loss of cells one by one. To repair them exactly the same, it is impossible to rely on the human body's own ability to do this kind of repair, and it must rely on artificial technology to complete.

Artificial technology is nothing more than removing the damaged cells one by one, and then replenishing the missing cells one by one. The types of cells and the way they are connected to each other are exactly the same as before.

Just like a damaged wall, you must find exactly the same bricks to repair, and the adhesive between the bricks must be the same as before.

If nerve damage can really be repaired at the cellular level, this item will be at the Nobel Prize level.

Whether young people can do it is one thing. First, dare to think, then dare to act, and can come up with an effective plan. As for whether they can succeed in the future.

Just climb and don't ask for height!

In the history of science and technology in the world, there are countless examples of failure. After all, there are only a few successes. However, the failure cases provide lessons for the successors. Failure is the mother of success. Without failure, there will be no subsequent success.

However, Academician Xiang felt that Yang Ping's general direction was correct, even if he could not achieve complete success, he would achieve some results.

Even a small breakthrough in this kind of subject can definitely affect the world, and it will be terrifying for future generations!

Academician Xiang sighed again.

"Since biological 3D printing can print organs, it can naturally repair nerve tissue damage, and restore the damaged part with 3D printing, so as to achieve the purpose of repair." Yang Ping is very confident in his own ideas.

"Let's go, let's eat together, chat while eating, and I'll be the host."

Academician Xiang raised his wrist and looked at his watch. The chat was so engrossing that he forgot to eat. It was rare that he was so happy, and it was rare to have a meal outside.

"Mr. Xiang seldom eats out. Today is all for you." Professor He said to Yang Ping with a smile.

Yang Ping felt a little flattered. An old academician in his 90s was waiting for him here, and even specially invited him to dinner. This kind of love for young people is so precious.

Academician Xiang had to get up, and his knee joints were not flexible after sitting for a long time.

Yang Ping hurried to help: "Mr. Xiang, how about letting the students come to treat you? I have wanted to see Mr. Xiang for a long time, but I was afraid of disturbing your quietness, so I have been afraid to tell Professor He."

With Yang Ping's support, Academician Xiang stood up, moved a few times, and his knee joint became flexible again.

"It's agreed that I will treat you, young people, don't talk too much, let's go! Professor He, go to the place you ordered, the grade is okay, don't feel sorry for my money, I have pension and subsidies." Academician Xiang entrusted Professor He Help me book a hotel, just pay for it yourself, and bring your briefcase with you, so you must have plenty of money.

"Why is it called Professor He? Call me Xiao He?"

Professor He knew that this tutor often had some light-hearted jokes.

"They're all professors. Why is it Xiao Yang and Xiao He when it's your turn? Isn't that right? Two professors, would you like some wine?" The old academician was a little flustered today, and actually proposed to drink some wine.

"Don't be afraid, we will order until the end. When the time comes, Professor He will arrange a driver to take you back?" The old academician made the arrangements clearly.

Today, the tutor is really happy. He usually only drinks some wine when there are happy events.

When I saw Yang Ping today, I had such a happy chat, and even proposed to drink some wine.

"Okay! Have some wine." Yang Ping didn't dare to dampen the enthusiasm of the old academician.

"Has Madam approved it?" Professor He took it up.

The old academician is very masculine: "I need her approval to drink some wine? But I have reported it to the police, so don't worry."

Professor He also called several professors and doctors from the laboratory together. Everyone is usually immersed in experiments, and it is rare to go out. Today, Mr. Xiang treats guests, and everyone goes to relax.

The dinner was held in a relatively high-end hotel near Nandu Medical University. Academician Xiang said hello in advance, and the class should not be low, otherwise the young people will feel that the old man is stingy.

Everyone who can drink drinks a little wine, but they each do what they can. Even if the cup is very small, there is no persuasion, no one is dry, and there is no one who does not drink is not giving face.

Academician Xiang was very interested and discussed issues related to the project with Yang Ping during the meeting.

Professor He is very happy in his heart. Being able to cooperate with such a genius will make him feel happier and more confident in his work.

Several professors and doctoral students in other laboratories knew in their hearts that they had also consulted relevant information on the grand project they were currently participating in.

Establishing digital organs based on micro-anatomy, this kind of research has not yet been started, and it is a brand-new field, which shows that its own subject is groundbreaking in the world.

Regardless of whether results can be produced in the future, for scientific researchers, researching world-leading technologies will definitely give them a sense of accomplishment and honor.

After several rounds of drinking, the old academician held Yang Ping's hand: "How do you think our digital humans should develop in the future?"

Yang Ping calmed down: "Go in the direction of micro-anatomy and functional construction. Without micro-anatomy, real functional simulation cannot be realized. It is best to have a supercomputer as the foundation to decompose the human body into cells, and then cells to build tissues, and then tissues to build organs." , and then the organs constitute the human body, only the digital human at the cell level is the real digital human at the subtle anatomy, and the massive cell data must be supported by supercomputers."

Subtle anatomical digital humans at the cellular level?

Academician Xiang muttered to himself, this is a super project, and it is impossible to participate by himself, but it is also a meritorious deed to contribute to this project in his lifetime.

"You are right. Digihumans must develop at the cellular level. In the process of building muscle microanatomy, you must learn how to construct human microanatomy. In the future, you hope to start research on digital humans at the cellular level."

Academician Xiang urged Professor He.

Today's meal was really worth it. All the professors and doctors here are very excited when they hear that they will participate in such a huge project in the future, just like those who are engaged in aerospace when they hear that they will participate in the moon landing program.

"I went back and suggested to President Rao that we should add a supercomputer to the laboratory and use it to conduct research on micro-anatomy digital humans in the future. If the research results are obtained, this is a major event that benefits the country and the people. In the future, many medical researches can rely on our digital humans. Come and study, such as drug development, device design, medical education, car safety experiments, and even space exploration, etc.” The fuzzy future in the old academician’s mind became very clear.

"Come on, young people are awesome, let's have a drink?" The old academician raised his glass.

Yang Ping clinked glasses with the old academician and each took a sip.

"Tell me if you need anything in the future, we old people, sometimes it is useful to talk." The old academician said frankly to Yang Ping.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang cares for us young people so much, the younger generation must work hard." Yang Ping thanked.

This atmosphere is really good!
Yang Ping feels very comfortable. With so many people supporting him, this project will definitely produce results soon.

"Call a driver to take Professor Yang back later." The old academician did not forget to tell Professor He.
