v15 Chapter 65: immune attack

"Ah...ah..."

"With the shrill screams in the ward, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Dean Saito's forehead. He was anxiously waiting in the observation room outside the ward, not knowing how to deal with the emergency situation in front of him. "

"President Saito! How is the situation?"

When Kalai Hideki hurriedly pushed open the door of the observation room next to the ward, Saito Eisaku breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and pulled Kalai Hideki to the observation room. In front of the glass curtain wall of the room, he then pointed to Ueno Hiko Saburo on the hospital bed and said:

"Look, it's been like this since it was delivered yesterday. Didn't you tell me that this is human tissue regenerated from autologous cells, why...why is there such a serious rejection reaction now? "

Saito Eisaku questioned him unceremoniously, grabbing Hideki Kalai by the collar.

"Rejection? This is impossible? How can there be a rejection? The cells we use are originally from Mr. Ueno!"

"Look, this is a report from the pathology department. Now Mr. Ueno's immune system is frantically attacking the implanted retina... This is not a rejection reaction..."

"This is impossible……"

Jialai Xiushu was stubborn, and immediately grabbed the diagnostic opinion sent by the pathology department and checked it carefully. Seeing the various indicators listed in the report, Jialai Xiushu's face immediately showed Desperate look.

"See, this is the rejection reaction you claimed to never appear, and now it has actually appeared in the patient... Professor Calais, please forgive me, you are not a doctor at all. , you don't know that rejection can also occur on autologous cells, right? The immune system attacks its own healthy tissues indiscriminately, isn't this disease impossible, lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid joints The cause of diseases such as inflammation is still an unsolved mystery..."

Hearing Saito Eisaku's reprimand, Kalai Hideki immediately understood how ridiculous what he just said could not be. Yes, although the transplanted tissue is differentiated from the patient's own cells, but... the star stem cells that have undergone viral reverse transcription are not necessarily regarded as their own by the immune tissue in the body. And now, Ueno Hiko Saburo's immune system is in a brutal struggle with the retina that has just been transplanted. If this continues, the patient's eyes may not be able to be preserved.

"Professor, I don't think star stem cells are ready for clinical trials. I recently researched the possible risks after star stem cell transplantation. Although the probability is very small, I found that these tissues have some tumorigenicity. , canceration, and the risk of causing an overreaction of the immune system, Professor...I want to take a closer look at these potential problems..."

I don't know why, but now Xiushu Jialai suddenly can't hear a word. His mind keeps replaying the words that Yangnan Asari told him before he died. Star stem cell therapy is not a 100% safe treatment. , in fact, there is absolutely no cure for 100% safety in the world, but... if there is only a small probability of risk, Hideki Kalai thinks this is not a big deal, so... in the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare Before applying for the relevant clinical trials of star stem cells, Hideki Kalai and Sumitomo Pharmaceutical felt that they should temporarily conceal the related defects of star stem cells, in order to make related products using this technology available for sale as soon as possible. It's a pity... I didn't expect such a serious problem after the first transplant operation...

"What should I do if there is such a serious rejection reaction? Now, Hideki Calais doesn't know what to do. Because his research is on cells, not the human body, for what the immune system has learned back then, Calais does not know what to do. Hideki already gave it back to his teacher when he was a doctor. As Saito Eisaku said, although the technology he invented can be applied to treat many terminal diseases that make clinicians helpless, but... he himself has never I have personally treated any patient..."

Seeing that he had been asking for a long time, Jialaixiu was still unable to give a reasonable explanation, and Saito Eisaku couldn't help but feel more and more worried. It seemed that the professor couldn't come up with any good countermeasures, then ...how should I deal with it myself? Could it be that...is it really to deal with the immediate troubles in the same way as the treatment of immune system diseases?

"President Saito! President Saito!"

Just as Saito Eisaku was hesitating, Shiori Tokunaga, who had been quietly observing the situation, suddenly spoke up. I saw that she walked gently behind Dean Saito, then bowed her head and bowed to him, and then reminded him in a low voice:

"Director, what if we treat patients with diseases of the immune system now? Maybe it will have some effect!"

"Ah...this...I have never dealt with such a patient before, and I cannot guarantee the effect of the treatment."

"So...is the patient still able to see now?"

"It's only just beginning, so there's no room for irreparable damage to vision..."

"So... what if we use some drugs that suppress the immune system? In this case, can patients save their vision?"

"Suppressing the immune system~lightnovelpub.net~ This can only solve the immediate crisis, Bin is not a long-term solution!"

"President Saito, what we need to solve is the immediate crisis! As long as we can keep the patient's vision until the day when the star stem cell-related drug is approved for the market, we will achieve the purpose of the clinical experiment. And Chengnan General Hospital will also be able to do so at that time. It will be Japan, oh no, the only hospital in the world that can perform regenerative retinal transplants..."

"But... If that's the case, the patient will have no resistance at all, and he may only be able to live in a sterile ward for the rest of his life..."

"President Saito, I believe... the problem at hand is just a small temporary difficulty, as long as you buy some more time for Professor Calais, maybe it won't take long before the problem at hand will be satisfactorily resolved! Isn't it, Calais? professor!"

Hearing that Shiori Tokunaga gave him a decent step, Kalai Hideki could only hold on for a while, so he raised his head and said to Saito Eisaku with a pretense of calmness:

"Don't worry! Dean Saito, I will definitely find a solution to the problem as soon as possible, please believe me..."
