American drama life begins with Dr. House

"Half a year?! Are you sure?"

Cameron looked at Duwei with disbelief in her eyes. As far as she knew, such a drug did not exist in the world.

The anti-immune rejection drugs currently used for the heart are usually cyclosporine A and anti-thymic immune globulin, which are used in milligram doses, and both of these drugs need to be taken daily.

It is simply unimaginable that a drug like the one Du Wei mentioned could last for half a year.

In fact, not only Cameron couldn't believe it, but also everyone else in the operating room was quite shocked by Du Wei's words.

Everyone present is a doctor with rich experience, and they are extremely familiar with anti-immune rejection drugs.

Let’s not talk about whether this kind of long-acting anti-immune rejection drug really exists, just half a year is very inappropriate.

Because the body’s immune rejection of organs changes all the time.

It is obviously not possible to keep the dosage of medication unchanged. They need to make medication adjustments based on the results of regular reviews.

Otherwise, once the immunosuppression is excessive, the patient will easily die from other diseases. Only an appropriate amount of immunosuppression can ensure the patient's normal life.

Therefore, at this stage, no one will prescribe anti-immune rejection drugs for up to half a year.

The anti-immune rejection drugs that Du Wei said would be effective for half a year sounded more like a lie from a newbie to them.

If they hadn't witnessed Du Wei's skillful surgical operation with their own eyes, they might have dismissed Du Wei as a liar and kicked him out of the hospital.

Facing everyone's questioning looks, Du Wei, who had already obtained the instruction manual at the moment of realization, naturally understood everyone's doubts about future black technology.

After all, this kind of thing currently only exists in theory, and it may still be a long time before it is actually available.

But the finished product, which has a lifespan of more than 1,300 years, can greatly shorten this time.

So Du Wei just raised his finger and pointed at the other half dose of powerful immunosuppressant in Cameron's hand and confirmed:

"Yes, half a year, but it is somewhat different from the anti-immune rejection drugs you understand.

This powerful immunosuppressant is an inhibitor with a similar dynamic suppression effect.

In other words, it will synthesize the required amount of inhibitors based on the body's acceptance of the new organ.

And it also has an immune tolerance induction strategy (inducing the body to accept foreign organs). It will eliminate the clones of T cells in the thymus and B cells in the bone marrow, inducing central immune tolerance.

At the same time, it will also try to induce T and B cell immune incompetence, inhibit their proliferation or function, and induce peripheral immune tolerance by blocking costimulatory signaling pathways, infusing or inducing the generation of regulatory immune cells.

I think you all can understand these words, right?"

Of course they understood, and precisely because they understood, the expressions on their faces were wonderful.

The powerful immunosuppressants Du Wei mentioned are too idealistic.

If what Du Wei said is true, then this injection is simply good news for organ transplant patients!

Everyone hates the continuous taking of medicine, everyone hates the continuous reexamination, and everyone hates the continuous side effects.

If there was a once and for all method available, who wouldn't like it?

Therefore, this kind of immunosuppressant that can be dynamically released according to the patient's physical condition and can also induce the body to accept foreign organs is really a great invention worthy of winning the Nobel Prize in Medicine!

It can even be said that it can save countless patients who need transplant operations due to diseases, accidents, etc.!

With this device, the recovery after transplant surgery will become very easy, just like drinking water.

But obviously, no similar powerful immunosuppressant has appeared in previous Nobel Prizes in Medicine.

Moreover, what Du Wei said is somewhat similar to the ultimate goal of immunosuppressant that currently only exists in the ‘New Folder’.

They have reason to suspect that Du Wei is just placing the future pie in the present.

Or is it that Du Wei is trying to gain reputation through this unknown thing and this patient who may be saved?

Thinking that Du Wei might have to resort to fraud to obtain the highest trophy in their eyes, everyone's eyes became filled with anger.

No matter where you are, this kind of cheating to get the highest honor will be looked down upon.

Therefore, even though Cameron got the residue of a powerful immunosuppressant in his hand, he couldn't help but remind him with a wry smile:

"Duwei, let's be serious, we need to conduct professional follow-up evaluation of the patient.

If you don't tell us what exactly you did to the patient, we are likely to make a wrong diagnosis.

I think you should also understand this."

Facing Cameron's cryptic reminder, Du Wei just smiled and replied:

"That's why I will leave the remaining potion to you.

This powerful immunosuppressant is a product of chance, and even I can't replicate it.

So if you don’t want it to become extinct, then try to analyze the principles and reverse the formula.

It would be even better if you could reproduce its production process. I think countless patients who need organ transplants will thank you for what you have done.

Oh, by the way, if you need any equipment for research, you can apply for funding from Dean Cady. In terms of scientific research funding, I gave her enough.

If there's a problem, I think it would be something House would be interested in, don't you think?"

Hearing that Du Wei's words were true, Cameron looked at the injection in his hand in shock.

Did she hear it correctly? Du Wei actually wanted her to reverse the formula and mass-produce this thing?

And Du Wei doesn’t want to rely on this powerful immunosuppressant to win the Nobel Prize in the medical field, but wants to accomplish this feat himself?

Then their previous suspicions about Du Wei's motives would be completely unfounded.

In addition, when will the scientific research funds in their hospitals be sufficient?

You must know that House’s previous application to study African trypanosomiasis was rejected due to funding reasons.

When Du Wei first came here, she couldn't even take out the cash for the bet. She also heard that the landlords came to her because Du Wei had no money to pay the rent.

So did Du Wei rob the National Bank in the past two months?

Listening to Du Wei's tone, it was as if he had bought this hospital.

Cameron inexplicably felt that the Du Wei in front of her was very strange. She could not imagine how many major events Du Wei had experienced in the past two months.

But even if what Du Wei said was true, Cameron still didn't believe that the injection in his hand really had the effect Du Wei said.

She has seen corresponding academic reports on the strategy of inducing immune tolerance in The Lancet, but there is still a long way to go before practical application, let alone combining it with anti-immune rejection drugs.

Just looking at Du Wei's firm eyes, Cameron finally went to the laboratory with doubts.

Practice brings true knowledge, and since Du Wei is so insistent, she might as well give it a try.

Not long after Cameron left, Frank, who should have remained unconscious under the effects of anesthesia, actually woke up with a low groan.

This scene made the surgeons who were still thinking about the authenticity of the powerful immunosuppressive drugs in Du Wei's hands were once again stunned on the spot.

What kind of monsters are these? The effect of anesthesia is actually so weak?

It stands to reason that Frank will not wake up until he has been asleep for at least another hour.

But what they didn't know was that in order to seek excitement, Frank often used drugs with anesthetic effects during his solo journey.

This has resulted in anesthesia being extremely effective on him now.

But now that everyone is awake, everyone's focus at this time is more on Frank's mechanical heart.

They were all curious about what would happen to a person when his heart was completely made of machinery.

In fact, nothing happened.

Frank, who was gradually waking up, looked at the shadowless light above his head that quickly blinded his eyes and said his first words after waking up:

"Please turn off this light. Is hell as bright as this?"

Hearing Frank's words that he thought he had gone to hell, all the doctors looked at each other, completely confused as to why some people would think this was hell instead of looking forward to heaven.

You must know that even those heinous villains will sincerely repent at the moment of death and hope that their souls will ascend to heaven.

What kind of evil deeds did Frank do to make him convinced that he would never ascend to heaven?

Although they are very curious about Frank's story, the more important thing right now is to find out Frank's physical condition.

Soon a doctor turned off the shadowless light and asked about Frank's physical condition.

Without the shadowless lamp affecting his vision, Frank finally saw clearly that this was an operating room, and recognized Duwei from the eyes exposed on the mask.

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief, vaguely realizing that the operation Du Wei said was successful.

He ignored the doctor's nagging and began to try to regain control of his numb body.

As the mechanical heart pumps, fresh blood is transported to the limbs and bones. The final strength of the anesthesia is finally defeated by the wash of this fresh blood.

Then, under the gaze of everyone in the operating room, Frank, who had just finished the operation, sat up from the operating bed like an iron man and tore off the electrodes connected to his body.

"how do you feel?"

Hearing Duwei's voice, Frank showed eight white teeth and pointed at the newly stitched wound on his chest and smiled:

"I feel great now. Except for a little pain in my chest, I finally don't have to resort to suicide to gain stimulation to survive.

But are you sure this thing won't kill me suddenly? This thing uses electricity, right?

But why didn’t I see the battery?”

As Frank spoke, he lowered his head and tried to find the wires and batteries of his mechanical heart.

In his imagination, this purely mechanical heart should be similar to those who install artificial hearts on the apex of the left ventricle. There should be a wire that goes from the chest cavity to the subcutaneous cavity of the abdominal cavity and then comes out from the navel.

Now that he is free from the intrusion of the 'Tokyo Cocktail', he naturally has to think about how to live well.

After all, these wires and batteries are things that will extremely affect the quality of life.

Just imagine, when people are stacking up on each other, the woman suddenly says that she feels uncomfortable holding something, but this thing is not the fifth limb, and there is no corresponding groove to put it.

Then this movement will be a huge failure.

This is just one aspect of life. In addition, there are also battery maintenance, regular replacement, prevention of being stolen, robbed, etc. All kinds of troubles will come one after another.

Thinking of this, Frank's smile that he had been thankful for just now gradually disappeared, and a trace of worry appeared on his face instead.

Now that he is surviving with a mechanical heart, it seems that it would be better to die completely.

Seeing Frank's frown gradually tightening, Duwei just patted his bare shoulder and gave him a reassuring smile.

"Don't worry, although this mechanical heart is not the original one, it is much more durable than the original one.

As for batteries, wireless charging is already a very mature field.

Any magnetic field that can charge mobile phones, tablets, and cars can charge you.

Of course, considering the occurrence of extreme situations, the mechanical heart also has a built-in swing battery (a technological product obtained by the suspect after tracking Finch).

To put it simply, you can charge it just by walking. Without considering wireless charging, this rocking battery can maintain the regular beating of the heart for a week.

In addition, this mechanical heart is only a first-generation product, and it has unlimited room for upgrades.

For example, a nutrient solution circulation system that can replace blood..."

Listening to Duwei's plan for the mechanical heart, Frank's frown gradually faded away.

Now he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with replacing it with a mechanical heart.

At least heart disease, the second leading cause of human death, no longer poses any threat to him.

Moreover, this thing has no wires and does not require external batteries and controllers, which means it has no impact on his daily life at all.

In addition to replacing the heart's own functions, this mechanical heart can even bring him more surprises.

This change of heart is not an epic weakening of him, but a reinforcement!

Realizing this, Frank smiled happily again.

"Is that so? That's great. Let's go back to New York."

In his joy, Frank completely forgot about the pain caused by the wound he had just sutured. When he jumped off the operating bed and wanted to leave, the pain from the wound due to the shock and loss of anesthesia instantly overwhelmed him.

Frank cried out in pain and fell forward. Fortunately, Duwei caught him firmly and put him back on the operating bed.

Then Duwei shook his head gently and said to Frank, who had a look of pain in his eyes:

"If you really want to become a complete cybernetic, replacing your body parts with prosthetics and using pain suppressants, you might be able to return to New York immediately.

But as you are still a human being, I'm afraid you need to recuperate for a while before you can return to New York.

Chase, give him a post-operative diagnosis.

As for when he can be discharged from the hospital, House has the final say."

Chase, who was watching everything silently, nodded to express his understanding.

To be honest, he had long wanted to test Frank's rejection of this mechanical heart.

This was because Duwei had not given him any intravenous infusion of cyclosporine A or anti-human thymic immunoglobulin from before the operation until now.

It stands to reason that Frank should now be experiencing a series of organ transplant rejection reactions such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, palpitations, and irregular heartbeat.

But for now, Frank has no more symptoms besides pain.

Just as Chase was conducting Frank's post-operative examination, Cameron, who had gone to the laboratory for testing earlier, also came back with a strange look on his face.

When he saw Cameron coming back, a familiar doctor immediately came up to him and asked:

"How? Does the medicine really work?"

Cameron opened his mouth and didn't know how to say this news that was completely different from what everyone knew.

She first looked at Du Wei, who was calm and composed, trying to see something from Du Wei's expression.

Then Cameron, who found nothing, turned back to everyone with a solemn face and said:

"Judging from the test results on experimental mice, this powerful immunosuppressant can indeed dynamically synthesize and release inhibitory factors according to the degree of rejection.

Moreover, the mice with newly transplanted organs did quickly accept the new organs without any rejection reaction."

"What?!"

"Are you serious?!"

"It's unbelievable."

Hearing the test results announced by Cameron, the operating room was filled with exclamations. This scene was like humans discovering that penicillin, which was not taken seriously, can actually inhibit bacterial infections.

At the same time, the results of Chase’s post-operative examination on Frank were also released.

Frank's body indeed accepted the foreign mechanical heart very well under the influence of the powerful immunosuppressant.

This further supports the correctness of Cameron's experiment.

Everyone was shocked and looked at the young man who was very mysterious to them.

Put it this way, the remaining half of the potion is simply worth a thousand pieces of gold!

They looked at Du Wei with burning eyes. Since Du Wei could casually give Cameron a chance to make a name for himself, there's no way they could get other advanced medical drugs by luck.

They didn't believe that Du Wei, who could produce such a powerful immunosuppressant, only had such advanced technology.

In their opinion, Du Wei must have an extremely advanced laboratory, and since the powerful immunosuppressant is an unexpected product, what is the drug that Du Wei originally wanted to study?

But no matter what the drug is, it will undoubtedly be more precious than powerful immunosuppressants!

If they could lick...and befriend Du Wei, then their worth would probably skyrocket!

After understanding this, everyone immediately began to compliment Du Wei.

However, Du Wei did not accept this trick, and besides, the way a group of old men behaved in a respectful and arrogant manner was really a bit physically uncomfortable.

After politely rejecting everyone, Duwei directly made an excuse to go to Walter's laboratory.

The cutting-edge technology he masters is not just a finished product that can only be redeemed from the system. In reality, there are also people who can help him advance the advancement of cutting-edge technology.

The nzt that Walter has been studying is one of them.
