Surgery Godfather-Chapter 1414 - 1062: A Glimmer of Dawn_2

Everyone repeated what Lawyer Wang had just said, leaving Lawyer Wang speechless and at a loss.

He felt he had been set up, but had no evidence.

These incidents involving Lawyer Wang and his associates were merely minor interruptions to the experiment and could not have any impact on it. Since everyone was suspicious, Yang Ping decided not to look for new volunteers and directly used Zhao Guohong’s son, Zhao Yufan, as the subject of the experiment. The child’s current indicators were still acceptable, and he could easily withstand the impact of the experiment.

After the other nine children were discharged, Zhao Guohong’s son Zhao Yufan was secretly readmitted to the isolated ward of the Surgical Research Institute. This ward was closed off and guarded by security, so outsiders could not enter.

Time was of the essence, and Yang Ping didn’t want to waste any more time, so he conducted the experiment solely on Zhao Yufan.

Yang Ping was quite confident about this experiment; after all, the virus had been tested on his own body and later on Professor Zhang. In terms of safety, there really were no problems, but the efficacy was still unknown.

Because this virus had only been tested on healthy individuals and had not yet been tested on osteosarcoma patients.

The next day, Zhao Yufan underwent the first experiment; nothing unexpected occurred. After the K virus was injected into Zhao Yufan’s body, it only caused some mild flu-like symptoms. There wasn’t even a need for medication; drinking more water solved the mild flu-like symptoms. This outcome of the experiment indicated that the virus was completely safe.

The initial tumor and metastatic tumor tissues extracted from Zhao Yufan were sent to Nandu Medical University for virus testing with electronic microscopy. This time, many tumor cells infected by the virus were found, and within these cells, hundreds of apoptotic tumor cells at various stages of apoptosis were identified. The electron microscope captured the whole process of cell death, clearly showing that the apoptosis was triggered by the K factor carried by the K virus.

Although only a few hundred cells were found among billions of tumor cells, this was undoubtedly a glimmer of light in the darkness, no matter how faint.

This greatly bolstered Yang Ping’s confidence in the experiment, indicating that the K virus being used was safe and effective, even though the effects were not very pronounced. Further experiments would focus on efficacy.

Upon hearing Yang Ping’s introduction to the first experiment, Zhao Guohong excitedly said, "Professor Yang, are you saying the experiment is effective? The injected virus killed some tumor cells?"

"Yes! The results of the experiment have shown us a glimmer of hope. Thank you for your participation. It may be taxing for young Yufan as he is currently our only experimental volunteer, so we will increase the frequency and number of experiments within his tolerance. Of course, we will prioritize safety," said Yang Ping, who was in a very good mood. He believed that continued experiments would eventually be successful.

Now it is necessary to determine why they did not cause a massive death of tumor cells. Is it because the amount of the virus is not enough, or are there other reasons? To achieve massive tumor cell death, exactly how much of a dosage is needed, how many injections are necessary, what should be the interval between two injections, how long should a treatment cycle be, and how many treatment cycles are required? The upcoming experiments will involve a lot of trial and error.

Zhao Guohong never dreamed that his son would have a chance to be saved. He thought: a person must have a conscience; only those with a conscience are fortunate. One should never resort to devious means. If it weren’t for his conscience and timely informing Professor Yang of those people’s schemes, his child may not have had the chance to participate in the experiment.

"Professor Yang, thank you for giving us this opportunity. We will fully cooperate. I don’t understand much, so you decide what should be done. I also don’t want the one million compensation anymore; I just want to participate in the experiment," Zhao Guohong was a content man.

Yang Ping seriously said, "Let’s do everything by the rules, okay? This money is yours; just take it and don’t bring this up again."

"Alright, I won’t bring it up again."

Zhao Guohong was not being hypocritical or staging a scene; he was terrified of losing the opportunity for the experiment, which was far more precious than a million, something money could not measure.

Zhao Guohong did not think too much at the time, he just felt guilty and bravely revealed their scheming to Professor Yang, unexpectedly this might indeed save his son’s life.

Lawyer Wang suffered a loss in silence; he tried several times to meet with Yang Ping, but Yang Ping did not want to see him, unwilling to waste time on him. Lawyer Wang tried a few times to block Yang Ping at the building entrance but was stopped by plainclothes guards.

Then, he tried to contact other families, but they no longer trusted him; having been used once, they could not be exploited a second time. Actually, most parents weren’t ill-intentioned, they consented to join him in turmoil only seeing there was a profit to be made.

If they knew that because of Lawyer Wang an invaluable opportunity was wasted, those parents would probably turn against him.

This didn’t work, that didn’t work, Lawyer Wang alone couldn’t stir up any commotion; he went to complain to the authorities, and they asked what he was complaining about. They stated there was no conspiracy; there was no bribery, compensation was provided, and not allowing participation in the experiment was because his child didn’t meet the conditions, forcing participation would risk life—a scenario unheard of. It’s like accusing someone of fraud, but they didn’t cheat your money, instead, they gave you money and advised you not to make the transfer; how would you accuse someone of fraud? They refuse your transfer, so they are defrauding you? Logically it makes no sense.

If there were more people, perhaps some uproar could be caused, but now he alone could not cause any disturbance, so Lawyer Wang had no choice but to give up.

Yang Ping visited Sisi every day; although Sisi relied on ECMO to sustain her life, she was extremely strong, always wearing a smile of hope, and the cactus in the corner looked greener and had grown a bit since her admission.

Lying in the hospital bed relying on a machine to stay alive must be very painful, yet from Sisi’s eyes, Yang Ping saw that relentless perseverance of life.

"Just wait a bit longer, we are about to succeed. Recently, our experiment made another advancement, getting us closer to success. Now we just need to determine the right dosage and treatment duration, then we can restart the experiment on you. You must hold on. Do you see the cactus in the corner? It’s becoming greener and more vibrant; it’s also cheering for you." Yang Ping stood by her bed.

Sisi was connected to various tubes, her heart and lungs now required ECMO to function. Initially, she could talk upon admission, but now she couldn’t speak and only responded to Yang Ping with her eyes, squeezing out a faint smile with her lips.

Apart from Yang Ping’s ward rounds, Sisi spent most of the time under the influence of sedatives in a sleeping state, and her brief periods of wakefulness became somewhat blurred, but her strong will kept reminding her—she must stay alive.

"The longest duration someone has used ECMO in the world is now 111 days, and that was a 62-year-old elder. After 111 days, he successfully recovered and was discharged from the hospital, it’s only been a few days for you, so there’s no need to worry." Yang Ping encouraged Sisi. freewёbnoνel.com

Her eyes spiritedly moved, Yang Ping knew she had something to say, noticing her right hand forming a fist, he immediately understood. Consequently, he also made his right hand into a fist and bumped fists with her.

"Keep it up!"

Sisi’s face revealed a smile.

"Professor Yang, the vital signs are relatively stable now, and in another ten minutes, we will administer the sedative again. Do you have any special medical orders?" Currently, Sisi’s main issue is with her heart, so Xia Shu is the head of the medical team here, the head nurse personally came to lead the nursing team, and the Surgical Research Institute could be said to have drawn elites to be in charge of Sisi’s treatment.

Yang Ping nodded: "Use the sedative as planned, no special medical orders for now."
