"I?"
"Oh no, us?"
When Sun Bin, Lu Keke, and Meng Jie were called to the principal's office, they were very nervous. As students, they had a natural sense of awe for the principal.
However, what Zhao Depei spat out of his mouth made them so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
The Human Genome Project has caused a lot of uproar in the domestic scientific research community, and it is not once in the newspapers. Although they are still students in the school, because Huaqing is a first-class institution of higher learning in China, Sun Bin, etc. People have heard a lot.
Young and energetic, they will also be angry, and they will also scold foreigners for not taking them to play with them, and then they will make a similar determination to excite the biology of the prosperous China.
However, no matter how rich their imaginations are, they would never have imagined that they would be able to participate in this international, world-class project of great significance.
The three of Sun Bin looked at each other, Lu Keke slammed Sun Bin, Sun Bin looked at Meng Jie again, Meng Jie opened his mouth, but he couldn't spit out the words in his throat, causing a thin sweat to appear on his forehead.
Sun Bin couldn't stand it any longer, so he had to stand up and say, "Principal, did you say something wrong? Maybe we heard it wrong." He let out two dry laughs. He glared at the two of them, and the two had no conscience, making him come forward and not play with him.
"You heard that right. Academician Tian and Academician Yang asked you to study at the Academy of Sciences for a period of time. After all, they will represent Huaguo biologists to participate in such an international project as the Human Genome Project. You can't embarrass Huaguo!"
This sentence, said from his own mouth, even Zhao Depei felt something incredible. Half a year ago, their group of so-called scholars was still making unremitting efforts to win a place to participate in the project through official and private means.
And half a year later, he actually stood here and told three Huaqing students, you are going to participate in the Human Genome Project, and don't lose Huaguo's face.
It's amazing what happens in life.
"We? Going to participate in the Human Genome Project?" Sun Bin couldn't help repeating it again, "Principal, what you said about the Human Genome Project is the same as what I thought?"
Sun Bin is also in the third grade now. He submitted the first draft of his graduation thesis last month, and was called back by the professor, who pointed at him and scolded him, "I entered Professor Li's laboratory, and I don't like this graduation thesis. Is it not, what the hell is this written!"
Well, he admitted that because of the temptation of the SCI paper, he devoted most of his energy to another paper, and this graduation thesis really coped with it.
He, who couldn't even pass the first draft of his graduation thesis, was going to participate in the Human Genome Project. If someone else said this, Sun Bin would definitely think he was joking.
But Principal Zhao? What's he doing with this kind of joke
"Is there still two human genome projects in the world that can't be completed. Your Professor Li will contact you about specific matters. What you have to do now is to go to the Academy of Sciences for a good study, why? You don't want to."
Although the three were at a loss, it did not prevent them from replying quickly: "Yes, of course." Huaguo Academy of Sciences, Huaguo Academy of Sciences' status in the hearts of Huaqing students is probably the same as Huaqing's in the hearts of ordinary people. The status is similar, they are naturally willing.
Because "unlimited organ storage technology" is also a big project, neither Yang nor Tian would tell them to stop the project. Therefore, the three of them stayed in the laboratory in the morning, went to the Academy of Sciences in the afternoon, and lived in the laboratory in the evening. become very full.
On the other side, Zhouli Hospital in the United States
After a course of treatment, the effect of erlotinib was finally shown in these clinical patients.
"Professor Li, Professor Ruiz, look, these are the latest patient examination results. These are from two weeks ago. After comparison, the tumors of these patients have a clear trend of shrinking!"
Dannussen held a stack of documents in one hand, and the joy on his face could not be concealed. When the researchers heard the words, they also turned their attention to the two documents, and their eyes seemed to emit green light.
This experiment is really depressing. If no good results come out, and the clinical trial is over, they may need to find a psychiatrist to adjust their mentality.
Ruiz couldn't wait to get the data. Most of the patients with obvious effect were advanced patients who failed chemotherapy and couldn't bear further chemotherapy, especially locally advanced patients, the tumor volume had been significantly reduced.
Ruiz suppressed his excitement and said calmly, "What about the patient's clinical response?"
"The 17-bed patient sat up this morning." When Dannussen said this, his mood was also a little uneasy.
Since the death of the 16-bed patient, the 17-bed patient seemed to be a fish washed ashore by the sea. At first, he still struggled, but later he lost his fighting spirit.
As Li Zheng's deputy, Danussen was in charge of the clinical part. He watched the 17-bed patients rekindle hope little by little. No amount of experiments could be done to feel that feeling.
He felt that it was one of the wisest decisions he had ever made in his life to be the young Professor Li Zheng's deputy.
"Let's go take a look." Li Zheng said in a condensed voice.
Professor Ruiz nodded immediately.
When the three walked into the ward, they saw the 17-bed patient holding the handrail beside the bed with one hand, trying to get out of bed.
Denuson hurried forward, trying to support him, but was stopped by the old man.
"I haven't been on the ground for two months. I hope my feet can step on the ground again in my lifetime." The old man's voice was hoarse and a little depressed.
Dannussen froze in place, and he couldn't help but turn his inquiring eyes to Li Zheng and Ruiz. Like him, Li Zheng and Ruiz were good at doing experiments, but dealing with this kind of thing was relatively unfamiliar. .
So the three of them just stood there, their bodies collapsed tightly, intending that if the old man had a tendency to be unable to hold on, he would go forward to support him.
The 17-bed patient struggled to remove one leg from the hospital bed. Due to the pain, his leg was not as thick as Denussen's arm.
There was a blush on his face because of the pain, I don't know if it was pain or tiredness.
The second foot was also moved out of the bed. The old man seemed to be a little unstable, and the hearts of the three suddenly lifted up, especially Li Zheng and Dan Nussen, who couldn't help but take a few steps forward. I can't wait to carry the old man back to bed.
But the old man clenched the handrail tightly with both hands and slowly stabilized his body.
His feet fell on the ground, and his body slowly straightened up. The huge pain and numbness made the old man's already pale lips turn pale.
Tremblingly, he let go of his right hand, which was holding the armrest, and then tentatively let go of his left hand.
"I'm standing up, I'm standing up again." The old man murmured incessantly. His English had a strong western American accent, which made it difficult for people to hear clearly, but this did not prevent the three of them from feeling The joy in his words.
The faces of the three couldn't help showing smiles, and their tensed bodies were slightly released.
However, he was extremely happy and sad. The old man had not been on the ground for two months, and the muscles in his legs were somewhat atrophied, and he could not support his weight at all. The left hand was slightly loose, and the center of gravity of the body was unstable, and he fell backwards.
No matter how fast Li Zheng was, he didn't have time to support the old man, and when he gritted his teeth, he let himself jump to the ground, forcibly becoming the old man's human flesh cushion.
"Oh, what are you doing!" A slightly chubby American nurse happened to be passing by, and when she saw this thrilling scene, she couldn't help shouting loudly.
She was full of energy and her voice was very high-pitched.
"Professor Ruiz, Professor Li Zheng, and Professor Dannussen, all three of you are experts in biology. Don't you know that patients are not suitable for getting out of bed at all?" The nurse did not give the three biology experts at all. face meaning.
She stepped forward to help the old man up, carefully carried him to the hospital bed, and then tested the patient's body temperature and heartbeat.
"I really can't imagine that you wise men who claim to be human biology don't even have such basic common sense!" The fat nurse was like an irritated tigress, attacking the three of them indiscriminately.
Li Zheng got up from the ground silently. He was the closest to the fat nurse, and received the most artillery fire. The fat nurse's saliva almost sprayed onto his face.
"Next time you encounter this kind of thing, I hope you will have the awareness to stop it. Even if you can't stop it yourself, is it difficult to call a nurse?" I have to say that the American sense of equality still has a certain value for reference.
For example, this little nurse, one of the most ordinary citizens of the United States, would not have thought there was anything wrong with her criticizing three world-class biologists in such an accusatory tone.
And Ruiz, Dannussen, and Li Zheng were like three elementary school students who had done something wrong. They stood aside and listened awkwardly, seeing the look in the fat nurse's eyes, and nodded from time to time, indicating that the other party was right. right.
After the fat nurse accused Li Zheng and the three, it was the old man's turn.
The old man didn't care what the fat nurse said at all, but kept repeating, "I'm standing up, I'm standing up again." There was a light in his eyes that the three of Li Zheng had never seen in the past two weeks.
This light is astoundingly beautiful.
The three of them went to other wards to see them again. The patients' condition was much better. Many people walked with the help of their children. When they saw Li Zheng and the three of them come in, they would greet them with a smile.
This time, the dark cloud over the clinic's head seemed to be lifted at once, and the depressing atmosphere in the hospital was no longer there. Walking in the corridor, the three of Li Zheng could even hear the laughter coming from the ward. This was something they could not have imagined at the beginning of the experiment.
"Li, it's just a course of treatment. These data are not enough to support our conclusions. But I believe that the emergence of erlotinib will change the history of anticancer drugs and their fate," Ruiz said softly.
