Chapter 369 Professor Xu, We Trust You

"Professor Xu, you don't mean Professor Gong Rui, do you?"

"Yes, it's Professor Gong Rui."

"Professor Gong Rui is the attending doctor for my father's illness this time."

Hearing Wang Xiangwu's son's reply, Xu You also sighed helplessly.

Everyone is a professor of Ji University, so it is normal to find Gong Rui as the attending doctor.

At this time, Gong Rui happened to walk over.

"Professor Xu, are you here too?"

"Well, Professor Gong, I just came over."

"Let's take a look at Professor Wang's situation first."

When they returned to the ward, Gong Rui checked the various indicators of Wang Xiangwu's body, and asked Wang Xiangwu some questions.

After that, Gong Rui called Xu You and others out of the ward.

"To be honest, Professor Wang's current situation is indeed very bad. Because of the severe cusp regurgitation caused by dilated cardiomyopathy, and atrial fibrillation and other symptoms, Professor Wang's heart ejection ability is less than half of that of a normal person. It cannot be done anymore. It has been delayed for too long, and we need to perform artificial heart implant surgery in the near future."

"Professor Gong, can we really wait for an artificially matched heart?"

Wang Xiangwu's son knew that a heart transplant like this must have a better effect than a living donor heart transplant.

"It's really hard to wait for a living heart. We can't wait for it. Someone died suddenly and accidentally, and it happened to match Professor Wang's heart, right? At this time, artificial heart implantation surgery is already the best choice. .”

At present, there are about 100 million patients with end-stage heart failure in my country.

And there are only a few hundred heart transplant donors every year.

At this time, Xu You asked:
"Professor Gong, if the artificial heart implantation operation is performed, how long will the patient survive?"

"It's hard to say. According to our statistics, 80.00% of the patients who received artificial heart implantation surgery can continue to live for more than three years. The specific situation depends on the patient's body and the condition after the operation."

"Is this a new type of artificial heart, or the previous artificial heart?"

"Our new artificial heart is still under research. It will take at least a few months until the research is over. However, given the current situation of Professor Wang, I suggest that the operation be performed within a month, otherwise the condition will deteriorate further. , it will be too late for surgery."

Xu You couldn't help feeling compassionate when he thought that the person who led him on his scientific research path might pass away soon.

At the same time, Xu You felt a little guilty.

In the past few years, I haven't repaid Wang Xiangwu well for his kindness.

In the choice of mentor, Xu You also chose Qiao Sen instead of Wang Xiangwu.

Even if this is a choice to be true to his heart, it is still something Xu You has always regretted.

Just at this time.

Xu You suddenly thought of something.

"Professor Gong, if we can speed up the pace, is it possible to make a new type of artificial heart within a month?"

Xu You knew that this artificial heart based on the new material he had developed would give the implanter a longer lifespan.

Gong Rui shook his head when he heard the words.

"Leaving aside the issue of design, the time from artificial production to testing is at least nearly a month. Before it enters the human body and implants, it still needs to be tested on animals."

Gong Rui didn't know why Xu You asked such a question, but he still answered truthfully.

"In other words, as long as the design work is completed, it is possible to use the new artificial heart within a month?"

"If you're in a rush...the possibility isn't ruled out."

After receiving Gong Rui's affirmative reply, new hope was ignited in Xu You's heart.

"Professor Gong, can you let me know all the information about the artificial heart in detail? I want to have a try and see if I can design a new type of artificial heart."

Hearing Xu You's words, Gong Rui didn't answer right away, but Wang Xiangwu's son was the first to stand up and express his agreement with Xu You's idea.

"Great! I support Professor Xu's plan. We believe that with Professor Xu's ability, it can be done!"

Wang Xiangwu's son did not doubt Xu You's ability because Xu You was not a medical professional.

He knows that Xu You is a rare cross-type talent, but a cross-type talent with many outstanding achievements in multiple fields.

It's not just dabbling a lot and then getting a taste of it.

Seeing that Wang Xiangwu's family members expressed support for this, Gong Rui had no opinion.

"As long as the family members agree, we will definitely have no problem. But after all, time is very limited. It is best to use this plan as an alternative, and we will prepare according to the original plan."

"Then let's set the operation time in one month's time."

In this way, if a suitable heart donor is found during this period, living donor heart transplantation can also be considered.

After that, Xu You, Gong Rui, and Zhao Weijia returned to Ji University from the hospital.

"Professor Xu, I can understand your feelings. However, it is almost impossible to complete the research on a new type of artificial heart within a month."

Even if Gong Rui knew that Xu You's talent and learning were far beyond ordinary people, it would be difficult to accomplish such a miracle.

"Even if the design and manufacturing work is completed, we still need to conduct strict tests before it can be applied to human implantation. These tests are not only various physical tests, but also tests on animals."

Before a new artificial heart can be used in humans, it usually needs to be tested on pigs.

"Professor Gong, I know this is very difficult. But I still want to try."

Xu You didn't explain too much, after all, he has too many secrets, which cannot be disclosed to others.

Seeing Xu You's determination, Gong Rui didn't say anything more.

Gong Rui brought Xu You to his laboratory in Ji University.

Gong Rui introduced the reason for Xu You's arrival to other members of his laboratory.

Under the arrangement of a teacher, Xu You began to learn the knowledge of artificial heart.

After getting the detailed information, Xu You forced himself into a state of flow almost forcibly.

In this state, Xu You only took three days to master all the relevant knowledge.

And the next step is the most critical, the design of the new artificial heart.

The previous artificial heart will play a guiding role in the design of the new artificial heart.

But it is not as simple as directly changing the type of material.

There are many factors that need to be considered.

The most critical thing is to accurately simulate the function of the heart.

Only in this way can the delicate tissue structure like the natural heart be made.
