Chapter 467 Treatment
Just after Liu Xing finished reading the news, the light rail tram was standing by at Huiyang Station, and the two got off with their things.
The minibus sent by the hospital had been waiting for two people nearby.
More than an hour later, the minibus returned to Nanshan Shennong Hospital.
Liu Xing carried a suitcase and handed the mutated T cells in the directional culture to Dr. Li, who was responsible for this clinical test.
"Axing, you are going to do rejection tests for the patient in the afternoon."
Liu Xing nodded: "I understand."
Although mutated T cells are cultured due to the patient's own stem cells, there is still a possibility of rejection.
Therefore, in vivo rejection tests are required to ensure that after a large number of mutated T cells are implanted, there will be no serious rejection.
At 2:30 p.m., the four patients were taken to the professional custody ward by the nurse.
Liu Xing injected the prepared mutant T cell solution into the patient's body and activated the comprehensive sign monitoring system.
He ordered the nurse to keep an eye on the sign data with him.
The most troublesome thing about AIDS patients is that their immunity is low in their body and they are prone to serious complications.
If there is a serious rejection reaction, it may endanger the patient's life safety, and you must always pay attention to the signs.
At night, Liu Xing and the nurse on duty took turns watching the four patients.
It was late at night and it was 11:30.
Dr. Li came to the ward: "Axing, what's the situation?"
"There is no abnormality for the time being, it should be successful." After Liu Xing answered, he took a look at the sign data again.
Dr. Li also carefully looked at the sign data, and then felt relieved. He immediately ordered: "If there is no abnormality tomorrow morning, you double the dose at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning and perform a second rejection test."
"clear."
Three days later, on New Year's Eve.
Just as thousands of families were celebrating the Spring Festival, Nanshan Shennong Hospital was still busy with bright lights.
Liu Xing and the nurse on duty and four patients had a simple New Year’s Eve dinner together.
Although AIDS is no longer as prone to death as before with the improvement of technology, it requires long-term medication, and the medication has certain side effects, which not only faces economic burdens, but also requires very restraint.
What makes patients even more embarrassed is the contempt and rejection from society. Basically, when AIDS patients are exposed, it is basically equivalent to social death.
Those who are accidentally infected by blood or mother-child infection will be regarded as bad people who mess with relationships between men and women.
I can only say that this is a kind of sorrow.
Some patients have the idea of revenge on society, deliberately mess with others, or use virus-containing needles to stab people everywhere.
It brings greater social pressure to other patients. Exclusion of AIDS patients is actually the survival instinct of human beings. Unless one day, AIDS is completely conquered, this rejection may disappear.
However, even if the treatment plan developed by Shennong Group is not successful, there is actually no need to be too desperate.
Because HIV is gradually adapting to humans, this virus will sooner or later become a chronic disease and eventually become harmless.
The reason for this conclusion is mainly from the latest human gene sequence detection. In the gene sequences of modern humans, about 8% of the gene sequences are derived from viruses.
There is only one reason why the genetic sequences of these viruses appear in the human genome. Our ancestors had fatal contact with these viruses, causing the genetic fragments of these viruses to be embedded in the human gene sequence.
The terrifying prions seem to be spreading to humans in mad cow disease. In fact, the "gene sequence of prions antibodies" has long been hidden in the human gene sequence.
In fact, this is also a very normal situation. Even in the feudal era, there have been many tragedies in human history of eating and cannibalism.
What's more, in ancient times in the wilderness era, cannibalism was very normal.
Therefore, there is nothing strange about having prion antibodies in humans.
According to the tracking research on AIDS patients over the past few decades, it can be seen from the relevant data that patients' lifespan is increasing, and the virus is gradually weakening its fatality to ensure that patients do not die.
Among the current various AIDS treatment plans, cocktail therapy can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause; while vaccine plans are basically hopeless because the virus mutates too quickly, and vaccine development cannot keep up with the rapid freezing of virus mutation.
As for the innate immunity of gene-edited babies, their technology is immature and they have to face legal and ethical problems.
Only this "trap method" developed by Shennong Group has feasible possibilities.
The first day of the Lunar New Year.
Dr. Li and several other doctors came to the hospital early in the morning and held a morning meeting.
"The four patients did not have rejection reactions. I plan to inject mutated T cells today and then start trapping tomorrow."
Another doctor nodded: "I agree that the patient did three rejection tests, but there was no obvious rejection, and the safety of mutated T cells is not a big problem."
Everyone discussed for more than half an hour and determined each link and possible problems.
It was 2:30 p.m.
Dr. Li, Liu Xing and two nurses began to inject mutated T cell solutions into four patients, and the solution on the flask decreased little by little.
Liu Xing and others always pay attention to the patient's signs data and are ready to deal with emergencies.
Fortunately, the process was in danger. Except for one patient, there was some dizziness and mild low fever, and no one else had obvious rejection reactions.
After completing the injection of mutated T cells, the injection of T cell pseudodeta agents was started, and the antiviral drugs were suspended.
Targeted drugs carry fake death agents and enter the patient's normal T cells. This is also the last hiding place for HIV to hide in the human body and is also the root cause of AIDS that cannot be eliminated.
When the fake death agent enters normal T cells, these T cells become abnormal, as if they are about to enter a state of stagnation.
The HIV hidden inside quickly felt the abnormality of T cells and began to escape from T cells. If the antiviral drugs were not suspended, these viruses would not be so easy to come out.
According to the data from animal tests, Dr. Li usually takes away normal T cells in about 24 to 32 hours and begins to proliferate rapidly in other human cells.
While waiting, the gold nanorod particles were sent into the mutated T cells through targeted drugs.
At the same time, let the patient take another targeted drug, sending a specific interfering drug into normal T cells.
After 40 hours, patients began to take antiviral drugs, forcing HIV to return to T cells. Since normal T cells are in a state of false death, the virus naturally will not choose cells that are about to die. In addition, there are interfering drugs in normal T cells, which makes the virus feel threatened.
Therefore, these viruses, except being killed by cocktail therapy drugs, can only retreat into mutated T cells.
In a short period of time, doubled cocktail therapy drugs have caused obvious side effects in the patient's body.
However, Dr. Li, Liu Xing and others knew that they had to apply strong medicine at this time to kill all the HIV in normal cells. They could not let a fish that missed the net, otherwise they would fail.
Three days later, the patient's body was so devastated by the double-double cocktail therapy that his face turned pale and he entered a dying state.
Liu Xing took a test report and ran over excitedly: "Doctor Li, good news, the virus content in the patient's normal cells was zero for 12 consecutive hours."
