September 18th.
The First Affiliated Hospital of Gusu University.
Inside the press conference room.
A grand press conference was being held.
The theme of this press conference was: "Universal Artificial Blood, Phase II Clinical Trial Shows Significant Efficacy!"
Hundreds of media reporters gathered to report on this grand event.
Major video websites were also broadcasting live.
On the guest seats, there were Zhu Xiulin, the president of Gusu University, Xiong Si Dong, the vice president, Zhao Ming, the dean of the First Affiliated Hospital of Gusu University, and many experts and scholars from the medical field.
At the beginning of the press conference.
The host said: "The human body is divided into blood type systems based on the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells.
Common classifications include the ABO blood type system, the Rh blood type system, the MN blood type system, the MNSs blood type system, etc.
According to the ABO blood type system, it is further divided into four blood types: A type, B type, AB type, and O type.
According to the Rh blood type system, it is further divided into Rh positive and Rh negative.
Common Rh-negative O type, Rh-negative B type, and Rh-negative A type are also known as Panda Blood.
Panda blood is extremely precious.
In China, only 0.3% to 0.4% of the population has this blood type.
When Panda blood patients need a transfusion, they can only receive Panda blood.
If there is no suitable blood, their lives will be in danger.
News reports often show that a certain city is in need of Panda blood, and officials call for blood donation throughout the city.
Of course, the medical community is not only lacking Panda blood, but also ordinary blood.
Hearing this.
Everyone present nodded.
Blood is an important medical resource, and it is a precious resource that cannot be changed by human technological advancement and cannot be artificially manufactured. It can only be obtained through the most primitive method, which is through voluntary donation from citizens.
At present, the medical community is facing a blood shortage.
The number of citizens donating blood is growing slowly, the clinical blood supply is in short supply, and surgeries are being postponed due to a lack of blood.
The blood shortage has affected the treatment of critically ill patients.
Ruijin Hospital in Shanghai has filmed a documentary called "The World," which truly records and restores the daily work of the hospital.
There is a scene in which a doctor is transfusing a patient.
The doctor keeps squeezing the blood bag, trying to extract the last drop of blood remaining inside.
Because blood is precious.
Save as much as you can.
Maybe it can save another patient's life!
Clearly, even at the renowned Ruijin Hospital, there is a blood shortage.
…
On the stage.
The host continued: "The shortage of blood products is one of the challenges facing the medical community.
As early as half a century ago, the medical community began researching artificial blood, hoping to find a true substitute.
Unfortunately, due to technological limitations.
No country has yet been able to develop truly artificial blood.
This year, Professor Chen Yu, from the Medical Department of Gusu University, launched the Universal Artificial Blood project. He successfully completed its development and also conducted relevant clinical trials.
This artificial blood is a completely synthetic hemoglobin.
It can replace hemoglobin in human blood that carries oxygen, and contains a large number of red blood cells and blood type antibodies.
When the artificial blood is infused into the patient's blood vessels.
The antibodies will take effect, preventing the artificial blood and human blood from being incompatible.
This universal blood can provide enough blood products for anemic patients of any type, in emergency rescue, surgery, blood disease treatment, etc., without relying on blood banks.
Whether it's Panda blood or ordinary blood.
From now on, the medical community will no longer have to face blood shortages!
As soon as the words fell.
The scene was in an uproar.
Universal artificial blood has truly been born!
The media reporters were all beaming.
Every hospital in China, every blood type is short of blood.
Once artificial blood can be mass-produced.
It can alleviate the blood shortage, completely overturn the medical community, and benefit countless patients.
The host said, "Now let's invite Professor Chen Yu to speak!"
Hearing this, the crowd applauded.
Chen Yu, in a suit, walked onto the stage under the watchful eyes of everyone.
He held a plastic bag and introduced, "Distinguished guests, the powder-like substance in this plastic bag is the Universal Artificial Blood.
Artificial blood is stored in plastic bags and can be stored dry at room temperature, with a shelf life of one year.
It contains synthetic red blood cells that are only 2% the size of human red blood cells.
When you need to use it, inject sterile water to mix, then it can be used.
After the development of artificial blood, animal testing was very successful.
Laboratory rats, rabbits, monkeys, dogs, cows, pigs, etc., have all undergone extensive experiments, and the results are good.
The results showed that after one week, the artificial blood was basically cleared, and after two weeks, there was no residue, and the real blood was regenerated to replace the artificial blood. The animals were living healthily.
Human trials have also been very successful.
All patients using artificial blood showed no abnormalities.
Clinical trial participants of various blood types, after using artificial blood, were also cleared after one week, and there was no residue after two weeks.
The physical condition of each trial participant is very good.
Now, the Phase II clinical trials of Universal Artificial Blood are nearing completion.
We will be launching Phase III clinical trials soon!
As soon as the words fell.
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience, lasting for a long time.
…
Next.
Chen Yu began to explain the research and development process of Universal Blood.
This blood is not whole human blood, but a kind of artificial red blood cells and artificial platelets.
It is made of a cell membrane component called liposomes, which form very small 'bags,' and then different hemostatic and oxygen-carrying components are filled into them.
At the same time, he used gene knockout methods to knock out the antigens on the surface of blood cells, making blood transfusion no longer need matching.
It is worth mentioning.
This artificial blood does not produce transfusion-related complications, and is not limited by blood type, and can be stored at room temperature for more than one year.
At the same time, using universal blood transfusion can effectively avoid the risk of infection with AIDS, hepatitis, and other infectious diseases.
As Chen Yu explained.
The current medical bigwigs were all listening attentively.
They all realized.
A revolution in the medical community is about to arrive.
Everyone will be a witness!
Without exaggeration.
Artificial blood is a Nobel Prize-level achievement that can overturn the entire medical community!
…
After the press conference.
Various sectors of society followed up with reports.

"Just asking, who is Professor Chen Yu? Why do you all seem to know him?"
"Netizen upstairs, let me give you a little科普. Professor Chen has published 50 papers in Nature this year alone, as well as 5 national undergraduate textbooks, and is the youngest full professor in the country!"
"That's right! Professor Chen is only 25 years old this year, very young. In addition to his unparalleled knowledge of medical theory, he has also performed pig kidney xenotransplantation surgery, pig heart xenotransplantation surgery, and a series of world-first surgeries!"
"Holy cow! According to what you're saying, Professor Chen is so awesome?"
"Of course! In the future, when artificial blood is approved for market, Professor Chen will most likely win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine!"
"It's not just that! The global blood product market is worth hundreds of billions of dollars. In the future, Professor Chen will not only become a Nobel laureate, but also a famous billionaire!"
