Chapter 1931 The only hope
Gu Huaiyi was very helpless, "The other party is very powerful. So far, he has predicted every step we take, and everything is within his calculations."
Yun Hua didn't say much, "I'll invite some international brain experts over to find a way."
"It's up to you." Gu Huaiyi didn't feel that there was any hope. In the current situation, if there was any hope, the doctor would definitely tell him that none of them was short of money.
Yun Hua asked Rong Jing, who was in country a, to send invitations to those brain experts, but unexpectedly there was a response.
"Professor Ryan has a project that is still in the experiment, which is a targeted therapy for the brain. In the last batch of experiments, the brain cancer cells of the volunteers were successfully killed, and there was also a volunteer with brain lesions. The results of the treatment also exceeded expectations. But this technique is not yet stable, and the mortality rate is very high. Even the State Food and Drug Administration of A is already studying whether to stop this research. After all, the mortality rate of volunteers is too high, although those volunteers did not participate in the experiment , They can't live for two or three months, but such a high death rate is still too shocking."
The death rate of Professor Lane's targeted therapy for the brain is too high.
Although at the beginning, the project was also approved by the State Food and Drug Administration of A, and then volunteers were recruited from all over the world, and all the volunteers also signed an agreement. If they died during the experiment of this project, the research center is also exempt from liability, but Again, the death rate is too high! Higher than most people imagine.
At this time, the problem can easily rise from ordinary medical research to social and ethical issues. Once it is exposed to the public, the research center will attract attacks from all over the world.
Therefore, the second phase of the experiment is almost certain to be unable to continue, and the first phase is coming to an end. If it is not backed by the Bauhinia Consortium, it is almost impossible to send another person to participate in the treatment at this time.
The experiments of these medical projects all have a control group and an experimental group. All the procedures accepted by the two groups of volunteers are the same, with only one difference, that is, on the key experimental points, the control group is a comfort experiment, which has no practical experience. Action therapy; the experimental group does research therapy. This is actually the same principle as in a drug experiment, where the control group took a placebo without any drug effect, while the experimental group took the real drug.
But all those who participated in these experiments had no other choice and wanted to fight at the last stage of their lives. What if these new drugs or new technologies cured themselves? If you win, you will have a longer life; if you fail, you will just advance the time of death by two or three months to the present.
In the experiment, the names of the control group and the experimental group were determined by lottery, which is very important, because no matter who participates in the experiment, they want to really receive the treatment of the new technology, not as a placebo, but There must be a control group and an experimental group, half of the people must take placebos, and only half of the people will receive real treatment, so no one wants to be in the control group. To ensure fairness, lots must be drawn.
Many medical research institutions will be very cautious in this step, because once they break the rules here, such as using their own rights to transfer someone to the experimental group, once they are discovered, the entire experimental project will be declared a violation.
These programs are very important.
But now, to send Qi Ziheng into this experiment, and at the later stage, and to want him to receive real treatment... really must rely on the power of the Bauhinia Consortium.
Money can turn ghosts around, especially in the capital world.
If Ryan refuses to accept Qi Ziheng at the risk of the project being banned, then she promises to Ryan that if his project really cannot continue in country A, she will fund it in another country!
This is enough for Ryan to agree to all her conditions!
So the only question now is, will the Qi family let Qi Ziheng go for treatment
Yun Hua originally wanted Tang Mo to contact Qi Ziheng's father. She didn't want to deal with them, but after much deliberation, she still contacted Qi Ziheng's grandfather, Mr. Qi, in person.
She came to the door herself.
Qi Lao looked much older than the previous two years.
"Huahua is here, sit down quickly." Elder Qi asked someone to serve her tea.
Yun Hua quickly said, "No rush, Grandpa Qi, I've already told you about my visit on the phone, and now I'll tell you in detail. Of course, the decision is up to you."
Qi Ziheng's attending doctor came with Yun Hua.
Yun Hua asked the attending doctor to explain Qi Ziheng's current situation and chances of being cured, and then told old man Qi about the experiment that Ryan's research center in country A was doing.
"The death rate is very high. On the whole, the mortality rate is as high as 80%. After all, this is a new technology for the brain, not a drug. If it is a drug, as long as it is not a poison, the worst result is that it does not work. , but this technology is too dangerous, it is completely close to death!"
"What about the success rate?" Old Qi's voice was very firm.
Yun Hua said, "Current data shows that the survival rate is only 18.7%, and the cure rate is only 0.4%. That is to say, out of a thousand people, 4 people are cured."
"What about the others who survived?"
"All of them have improved to a certain extent. Some of them can prolong their lifespan by one to three years, and some of them are not in good condition. They are similar to before, but they have deteriorated." Yun Hua said bluntly, "This is the case. It is a more accurate report, you can take a look."
"I don't look at it." Qi Lao waved his hand, he sighed, "Ah Heng is too, too many disasters. I don't care so much, I just ask you, this is his only chance, right?"
Yun Hua pursed her lips, and nodded firmly after a while, "Yes, based on many factors, this is Qi Ziheng's only chance of survival. If no treatment is taken, those snowflake-like lesions in his brain will continue It expands and continuously infects the surrounding healthy brain cells, until finally, the entire brain becomes diseased and dies. The whole process takes a week, and ends in a month."
Elder Qi closed his eyes.
He didn't think for long, and looked at Yun Hua again, "I'll leave Ah Heng to you!"
Yun Hua nodded, "I will do my best."
"I believe in you, I'm just such a successful grandson..." Old Qi couldn't continue.
At this moment, Qi Ziheng's father walked in quickly, took a look at Yun Hua, and then looked directly at Elder Qi, "Dad, there is no guarantee for the experiment she said, the death rate is so high, send Ah Heng there Just let him die, this is not possible, absolutely not!"
"Then what do you say?"
"I... I'd better stay in the country and slowly find a way to treat it. There is always hope..."
"Shut up!" Elder Qi's crutches poked heavily on the ground, "You think I don't know what you're thinking? What happened to Ah Heng, you've taken a liking to his mess, right? Ah Heng It's your own son! You don't want to see him. Mom, he. Mom is already dead, he is your own son! You just want him to die? His life and death are uncertain now, but you are already thinking about how to carve him up The thing in your hand, you are so good at being a father! So good!"
Old Qi gasped with anger, "I tell you, as long as I'm not dead, it's not up to you to make decisions about this family! You are free to marry whomever you like, but you want to take away my grandson's things, you are dreaming! Go away, now Get out now!"
Father Qi's face was very ugly, but in the end he didn't dare to offend Qi Lao, and left with an unhappy face.
Old Qi was so angry that his face turned pale, and he sat panting for breaths. The health doctor beside him kept giving him relief and let him drink water. It took a long time for Old Qi to recover.
"Don't worry about it, since there is still such a chance, let's take Ah Heng to fight! I will hand him over to you, I believe in you!" Qi Lao said, "Grandpa knows that you have put a lot of thought into it, and this opportunity is not just for nothing. Anyone can get it, no matter what the result is, grandpa is equally grateful to you!"
"Don't say that, I will try my best."
To send Qi Ziheng abroad, Yun Hua called a private jet to take an international flight.
After all, a private jet has a relatively large space and can accommodate a lot of medical equipment. No one knows whether Qi Ziheng will get sick on the road. Once he gets sick, he needs to be rescued on the plane. The space is small and there is no equipment.
She asked Tang Mo to personally send Qi Ziheng abroad, but she didn't follow her.
The situation of Professor Ryan's research center has been investigated almost. This experimental research was originally a narrow escape, and the success rate is very low, but it is currently the only hope.
If you don't go, you can only wait for death at home. This little hope that is so weak that it is almost invisible is an extravagant hope for many people, so even country A may close this project because of the high mortality rate. Research, but in private, many terminally incurable patients are extremely opposed, and they really want to try it.
Whether the next study can continue, Yun Hua doesn't know or care, at least this time Qi Ziheng catches up, he still has such a chance, and after some operations, Qi Ziheng will receive treatment directly, unlike others Like the volunteers, they had no idea whether they were in the experimental group that actually received the treatment or in the control group that received the placebo treatment.
This matter started because of Yun Hua, but that's all she could do.
She still has a lot to do herself.
The national team has issued a notice calling her to participate in a training camp to prepare for the World Short Course Swimming Championships to be held in Dubai in December.
At the same time, it is also necessary to see how her grades are.
After all, she has not participated in an official competition for two years, and no matter how good the results in the training competition are, there will always be people who will not admit it.
In the past two years, the national team has also been changing. Many things are different from before. Yun Hua also needs to adapt in advance.
