Doctor Zhao, help!

Chapter 343 Steadily advancing plan

"Doctor Zhao, Professor Jin, I wish I had met you earlier."

Zhou Ruo seemed to remember some past events and said to Zhao Sheng and Jin Dong.

God gave her beauty, but he did not give her a healthy body. Especially in recent years, as lupus nephritis has become more and more serious, this feeling of jealousy of beauty has become more and more intense.

Although the disease is cured now, only people with this disease can understand the suffering she has endured for so many years.

"Get some rest."

Zhao Sheng looked at Zhou Xin and said.

After leaving the ward, Jin Dong said to Zhao Sheng: "Brother, this can be considered a good start since the center was established."

"Although we have cooperated so much with major hospitals, it is still not as good as setting up our own center."

There is a reason why Jindong wants to set up its own stem cell treatment center.

Among them, the biggest reason is that some hospitals have appeared, ignoring the clinical efficacy of stem cell therapy, and falsely promoting stem cell therapy as a cure-all for all diseases.

This momentum is so strong that it can be said that when the concept of nano was first proposed, there were merchants selling various [nano products], and even nano underwear. Just two pairs cost 400 to 500, and they could fly if you put them on. That kind of thing.

Back to stem cells, the human body is not made up of one kind of cell, but more than 200 kinds of cells, such as nerve cells, skin cells, red blood cells, etc.

Stem cells refer to those cells that are undifferentiated and therefore have the potential to differentiate into different types of cells. “Stem” means the “trunk” that can produce branches.

Because stem cells are capable of differentiating into other cells, research into them holds promise for treating a variety of chronic diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, chronic heart disease, and even cancer.

However, such a good thing cannot be applied to clinical applications casually. The stem cell treatments that are now flourishing in China have not gone through animal experiments and human clinical trials at all, and are directly used in clinical treatments. The purpose is purely to make profits.

Some of these stem cell treatments are just a simple scam. For example, CCTV once exposed a stem cell beauty scam, claiming that as long as you take injections made from embryonic stem cells, you can look 10 to 15 years younger.

These numerous beauty salons offer various stem cell beauty programs and sell stem cell oral liquids, essences and other products.

Naturally, these products cannot actually contain stem cells, because isolating and cultivating human stem cells is much more difficult than isolating and cultivating ordinary cells. At present, this is still a cutting-edge technology only for experimental research, and no institution has the ability to commercialize it yet. mass production.

Moreover, only living stem cells are effective. Once they are made into injections or oral solutions, they become dead cells and no longer have the characteristics of stem cells. Therefore, even if these products are really made from stem cells, they have already become waste.

Taking a step back, even if these products did contain active stem cells, injecting or taking the stem cells by mouth wouldn't do anything. Direct injection of stem cells will cause harmful body rejection and allergic reactions, and eating stem cells will even digest them.

In short, these so-called stem cell preparations cannot really contain stem cells. Judging from the side effects experienced by some consumers after using these products, their real ingredients may be some kind of hormone.

"I can't help it. Senior, the field you are studying is too popular."

"It's inevitable to be targeted."

Zhao Sheng also nodded and said. Jindong can now be said to be a leader in the field of domestic stem cell research. Therefore, there are many medical institutions and medical aesthetic institutions that want to make a lot of money from the stem cell therapy business trend.

I believe everyone has had this experience. When searching for the name of a disease or symptom, the WeChat account of a WeChat business will be displayed. Ineffective "drugs" will be promoted, medical-related false advertisements from unqualified merchants will be pushed, targeted medical advertisements will be pushed frequently, and public health services will be searched. As for the name of the hospital, Putian Hospital ranks at the top.

In the era of information explosion, it seems that it is not getting easier to find reliable medical information, but it is getting more and more difficult. If you are not careful, you will fall into a trap and lose both your life and money.

Most of these illegal advertisements come from agency companies. Don't they understand? of course not. But as long as the money is in place, they can solve any problem. From advertising qualifications to content, from web design to account maintenance, as long as customers need it, regardless of whether they are scammers or not, they can enjoy one-stop service.

"Sometimes I think, it's really hard to do something."

"Compared to before, it was more practical to come up with a scientific research result and just sit back and collect money to enjoy life."

Jin Dong said.

"No matter how much power and resources we can mobilize to help patients who really need help, at least I think what we are doing now is meaningful."

Zhao Sheng thought for a while and said.

Develop high-end medical care, and then strive for medical resources and funds to help some patients who really need help. This is what Zhao Sheng and Jin Dong want to do.

Although even Teacher Tang thinks that the two people's ideas are very unrealistic, who can know that this is the best way that Zhao Sheng and Jin Dong came up with together to truly realize their ideals and maintain their original aspirations. .

So far, the results are pretty good. At least the first wave of lupus patients who need stem cell treatment can go to this stem cell treatment center for treatment, and receive significant subsidies and reductions in treatment costs.

"Professor Yu also supports our idea. Junior, just follow me and do it boldly."

Jin Dong smiled and said.

He knew that some recent events and current situations in the medical field had made Zhao Sheng feel very uncomfortable.

This kind of discomfort is not just because of the individual, but because as a doctor, I feel a sense of being unvalued and cheap and can be consumed at any time.

"Let's take it step by step. I have no idea about developing new drugs. Even if we develop it, we won't be able to keep it. No one knows what the final result will be."

"I think pure technology like stem cell therapy has great potential. At least some people, even if they want to copy the work, can't do it."

Zhao Sheng said slowly.

To put it bluntly, in this kind of high-end technology field, you can’t just copy the work. Equipment and resources can be bought with money, but what about high-end research and medical talents?

Just like the treatment for Zhou Ruo this time, a scientific research master like Jin Dong and a clinical master like Zhao Sheng must work closely together to achieve such good results.

Without either of the two, it is basically impossible to overcome lupus nephritis individually.
