Chapter 89 The Meaning Of Life, Awakening The World!
October 16.
Yinhe Hospital, Department of Infection Medicine.
In an AIDS ward.
Cheng Shuang, a nurse in protective clothing, is feeding the patient Zhuang Jun.
Zhuang Jun is 40 years old this year and has advanced AIDS.
He was emaciated, with a large area of abscess festering on his body, as well as complications such as liver damage, kidney damage, headache, and neck pain.
After coming to Yinhe Hospital a few days ago.
Nurse Cheng Shuang took care of him in every possible way by giving him infusions, injections, anti-infection treatment, nutritional support, body scrubbing, feeding, shampooing, changing diapers, etc.
Zhuang Jun is very grateful for this.
After a while.
He finished his lunch and lay back on the hospital bed.
Cheng Shuang said with satisfaction: "You have a good appetite today? A few days ago, you ate a little because of the side effects of the medicine.
Zhuang Jun smiled and said, "Thank you, Nurse Cheng, I'm sorry for bothering you all this time."
"What's the trouble?"
Cheng Shuang waved his hands and said, "When I was a nurse in another hospital six years ago, an infected needle accidentally pricked my skin, and I took antiviral blocking drugs for 28 days in a row!"
"Ah? And this?"
Zhuang Jun was a little surprised.
After changing to AIDS.
He became ill for a long time.
Taking lamivudine, emtricitabine, tenofovir and other emergency blocking drugs within 72 hours, and combined medication for 28 days, can effectively prevent HIV virus infection
While arranging the tableware, Cheng Shuang said, "Fortunately, 937 is preventing and controlling in time, and there are no accidents."
Zhuang Jun asked: "Nurses like you infected internal medicine should be under a lot of pressure?"
"of course!"
Cheng Shuang said truthfully: "Many patients have bad tempers, don't understand us, and choose to vent their anger on us.
Even sometimes, patients choose to die.
However, this is the case in the Department of Infection Medicine, and colleagues are used to it.
finished.
She took the initiative to ask: "Why did you choose to be treated at Yinhe Hospital? The wards here are not cheap."
Zhuang Jun said with a smile: "In other top hospitals in China, the mortality rate of AIDS is about 5%, but your mortality rate is only 1%.
As far as this is concerned, it doesn't matter if the cost is higher.
In addition, the surgery of Yinhe Hospital is unparalleled in the world.
I hope that one day, the internal medicine department of your Yinhe Hospital will be unparalleled in the world!"
The voice fell.
Cheng Shuang nodded slightly.
Surgery is generally treated with surgery.
Internal medicine is generally treated with drugs.
Galaxy doctors can create all kinds of miracles in the field of surgery.
by contrast.
Galactic Physician, pales in comparison.
Of course, this is related to the efficacy of the drug and has little to do with the doctor.
Nationwide.
The internal medicine department of Yinhe Hospital is also one of the best!
Cheng Shuang cleaned up the tableware and said, "I'll go out and clean it first, so you can take a good rest.
Zhuang Jun nodded.
He looked at the back of Cheng Shuang's departure, and his mind was full of thoughts.
Originally, Zhuang Shi's life was very bright.
As a self-made entrepreneur.
By the age of 30, he had earned millions.
The wife is beautiful and the daughter is well-behaved.
Due to work, he entertains a lot.
By chance, Zhuang Jun was infected with HIV.
After his wife found out, she resolutely chose to divorce him, and the daughter returned to her mother.
after that.
Zhuang Jun seeks medical advice while making money.
However, with the rapid deterioration of the condition.
He couldn't take care of making money and seeing a doctor at the same time, so he came to Yinhe Hospital for treatment.
It is very clear in my heart.
There is no cure for AIDS!
A terminal patient like him is estimated to have a life of one or two years.
on the other hand.
He still has more than 800,000 left in his card.
I don't know how long this money can last......
I am thinking about it.
Nurse Cheng Shuang hurried in.
She said happily: "Zhuang Jun, the State Key Laboratory of AIDS Immunology at Yinhe Hospital is currently recruiting AIDS volunteers, would you like to try it?"
"volunteer?"
Zhuang Jun wondered, "Are you a drug tester?"
Cheng Shuang considered the language and said, "You can say yes, or you can say no!
Those pharmaceutical companies must go through Phase III clinical trials before new drugs are launched, so professional drug testers are needed.
The State Key Laboratory of Yinhe Hospital is entirely focused on scientific research.
The test drug is of course to be tried. "What is available is to cure AIDS!"
"Understood!"
Zhuang Jun immediately nodded and said, "I am willing to be a volunteer!"
He is not illiterate.
Naturally, I know how awesome the State Key Laboratory is!
Cheng Shuang smiled and said: "Then I (cfdh) will help you sign up, and they will pick you up soon.
"it is good!"
Zhuang Jun nodded, expressing his understanding.
next morning.
Galaxy Medical Park.
State Key Laboratory of AIDS Immunology.
In a ward.
He Qing, a researcher in protective clothing, said to Zhuang Jun: "In 2007, a patient suffering from leukemia and AIDS received bone marrow stem cell transplantation and miraculously found that AIDS was cured.
The medical profession dubbed this patient the "Berlin Patient".
Bone marrow stem cell transplantation is difficult to match, and the cost is high, and it does not have the possibility of curing AIDS on a large scale.
Therefore, our scientific research direction has become umbilical cord blood stem cells to cure AIDS!"
hear this.
Zhuang Jun's eyes lit up.
He had heard of cord blood before!
Hematopoietic stem cells in umbilical cord blood help treat more than 80 diseases.
It is said that the Blood Center of Yinhe Hospital is the largest blood bank in the world, with 100,000 units of cord blood.
He Qing continued: "There are many benefits of cord blood stem cells.
For example, it is easy to match multiple recipients.
For example, it has a lower risk of rejection.
For example, it can be stored for a long time.
In the next test.
We will use cord blood transplantation to treat your AIDS.
The whole test is divided into five steps.
The first step is to match the umbilical cord blood, find the Galaxy Blood Center, and find the umbilical cord blood that matches you.
In the second step, we use a methyltransferase called SMYD2 to activate all HIV viruses hidden in your body.
In the third step, after the HIV virus is fully activated, we use drugs to eliminate the virus and kill the infected cells. Of course, it is impossible to kill 100%, but at least it will eliminate many
The fourth step is to officially start the transplantation of umbilical cord blood stem cells, so that these stem cells can enter the specific receptor CCR5 in your cells, so that you can develop resistance to HIV and completely kill all viruses.
In the fifth step, you are hospitalized in Yinhe Hospital, slowly taking care of yourself and recovering from various complications caused by AIDS. "
The voice fell.
Zhuang Jun nodded again.
Seeing this, He Qing took out a contract drawn up in advance: "If you want, just sign this informed agreement.
All costs of treatment trials are borne by our laboratory.
Of course, umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation, after all, has no precedent and is very risky.
So, I suggest you think carefully before making a decision. "
"I do!"
Zhuang Jun quickly said: "For a patient like me, the meaning of life lies in seeing the sun in the morning.
Now a medical trial that may cure AIDS has appeared in front of me.
I will definitely cherish it and not miss the slightest chance of survival!"
finished.
After reading the informed agreement in detail, he signed his name.
at the same time.
other AIDS patients.
All in each ward, signed an informed agreement.
They have been plagued by illness and suffered from strange eyes from the outside world.
But everyone never gives up easily!
If he died in this clinical trial, he would have no regrets.
At least, they have completed a soul redemption, which can wake up the world!.
