Chapter 1088 Sanbo Medical Research Cooperation Association
The four major laboratories began to carry out new experiments in full swing. They strongly agreed with Yang Ping’s philosophy: do things right first, then do things well.

Therefore, after establishing a new topic, you don't have to wait until the personnel and equipment are all ready before starting, which will waste a lot of time. Instead, you should set up the topic and study it first, and then slowly add personnel and equipment. You are crossing the river by feeling the stones, so you should make adjustments while doing experiments. If you don't do it, you will never know what is right, what is wrong, and what needs to be adjusted.

However, with so many new projects being launched recently, the major laboratories are indeed short of staff. It doesn’t matter if there are not enough staff. Just take it slow and advance at your own pace, expanding the talent team while doing experiments.

Yang Ping formed a formal alliance between the two laboratories of Sanbo Hospital and the three laboratories of Nandu Medical University to facilitate cooperation. In the future, this alliance can also absorb other laboratories. Yang Ping named this alliance "Sanbo Medical Research Cooperation Association". Anyone who formally joins this association will be able to obtain funds provided by Sanbo Research Fund. Of course, not all laboratories can join this association. The team and academic ability of the laboratory must meet certain requirements. Yang Ping wants to use this to form a large scientific research alliance to drive the country's entire medical research level.

Sanbo Cell Therapy Laboratory, Tumor Research Laboratory, Nandu Medical University's Digital Medicine Laboratory, Genetics Laboratory, and Virus Research Laboratory, these five laboratories are currently the founding members of this association.

Yang Ping intends to adopt the "expert governance" model for the management of this association, that is, the core leading managers must be accomplished scholars, not lay bureaucrats, so as to avoid the bureaucratization of the entire association. The bureaucratization of scientific research institutions is a very serious problem, which will cause the entire scientific research institution to lose its due scientific research capabilities and eventually become a place of fame and fortune. The non-core management personnel of the association will hire professional staff, such as some daily management personnel, and will recruit professional staff from the entire society.

Yang Ping tasted the sweetness of establishing the "Medicine" journal. The "Medicine" journal gave Yang Ping enough voice in the world's academic circles. In the past, he needed to get others' approval to publish a paper, but now he does not need to do so. He can publish in his own journal at any time. This kind of voice is very important and represents a country's voice in this field.

By establishing a scientific research alliance now, Yang Ping wants to form a united and efficient research chain. Just like corporate production needs to form an industrial chain, scientific research also needs to form its own chain, so that it will not be controlled by foreign countries in the future.

The NK cells in the cell therapy laboratory have been cultured. This time, the experiment will no longer be conducted directly on Sisi, but on animals.

At that time, the K virus treatment had to enter the clinical laboratory directly because Sisi had no time to wait and needed K virus treatment to save her life, so she had no choice but to take a gamble.

The current objective conditions are completely different from before. After several K virus treatments, Sisi's tumor has been controlled to a certain extent, giving her more time to wait for the next treatment. Therefore, time is not as urgent as before, and Yang Ping does not need to take the risk of using NK cells directly on Sisi.

Although NK cell therapy is relatively safe, there is still a certain probability of risk events, such as fever, embolism, cytokine storm, etc.

Sanbo Hospital has its own animal laboratory, and this advantage is immediately put to use. Yang Ping can use experimental pigs to simulate tumor patient models. He has rich experience in the manufacture of these models and animal experiments. The mobile cabin has not yet been completed, and the animal laboratory is still in place. On the day of the experiment, many people gathered in the animal laboratory. In fact, the staff and students of Sanbo Hospital are already accustomed to these experiments. Although this experiment is currently at the world's top level, they don't feel anything. Everyone comes here purely to learn. In addition to the researchers participating in the experiment, there are also many students who have the highest enthusiasm for learning.

It is necessary to anesthetize pigs for experiments, otherwise they will always make noise, which will affect the progress of the experiment and easily spread noise.

After anesthesia, the laboratory lies quietly on the experimental table. The recombinant NK cells are injected into its body. After the injection, a series of observations and data collection will be required.

NK cells also have another name: natural killer cells. Compared with neutrophils and macrophages, which belong to the innate immune cell family, NK cells have a wider range of functions, such as clearing bacteria, resisting viruses, destroying tumor cells, and fighting aging cells. In other words, it is a generalist. Moreover, compared with T cells, it does not require antigen presentation, so it is more sensitive to foreseeing the invasion of "enemies", reacts faster, and takes effect faster. Another point is that its side effects are relatively few. Therefore, on the whole, NK cells are a combination of efficacy, safety, and relative ease of use, and are very suitable for cell therapy. At present, some products in this regard have appeared on the market, but the effect is not ideal and cannot stand alone.

The NK cells injected into the experimental pigs have been specially marked, and the tumor cells in the experimental pigs have also been marked to a certain extent. After the injection, the pigs will be sent to the imaging department for regular PET-CT examinations, so that the flow of the injected NK cells can be observed, as well as whether the number of tumor cells has decreased, etc.

In the future animal laboratory planning, various inspection instruments and equipment, including PET-CT, will be available, but there is no PET-CT here now, so the experimental pigs must be restrained and sent to the imaging department for examination.

During the process of sending the experimental pigs to the imaging department, they had to hide the pigs. Otherwise, so many patients would complain when they saw a pig being carried in for examination. How could a pig be mixed with human examinations? It shouldn't have been like this, but there was no other way. The animal experiment department didn't have PET-CT yet, so the experiment couldn't be stopped because of this.

Originally, the animal laboratory was planning to install PET-CT, but because the installation had to comply with various radiation protection standards, it was rather troublesome.

Now the animal laboratory is preparing to move to a mobile house. The mobile house has no conditions to install such equipment, so the project will be suspended for the time being. The installation will be done after the new laboratory building is built. By then, there will be everything you need, and there will be no need to send the experimental pigs for inspection in such a sneaky way.

The experimental pig was fixed on a special flatbed cart, and then everyone pushed it to the imaging department. Because it was covered with a sheet, no one could see what it was. Those who didn't know might have thought it was a cart of medicines.
