Doctor: Picking Up Attributes in the Hospital-Chapter 428 - 366: Opportunity Favors the Prepared—Ruan Liuzheng’s Striving
After leaving Ma Xiaochen’s ward, Zhao Heng arrived at the patient bed for the "tree man syndrome."
Approaching the bed, Zhao Heng signaled Tian Zhen to unwrap the gauze on the patient’s legs to check the recovery situation.
For this "tree man syndrome" patient, Zhao Heng had employed a new method of epithelial stem cell transplantation, and overall, the previous recovery had been quite good.
Moreover, the application of epithelial stem cell transplantation is very broad. Many skin defects caused by trauma, such as burns, scalds, and chemical injuries, can be treated using epithelial stem cell transplantation.
Once the gauze was removed, Zhao Heng saw fresh granulation tissue on the patient’s legs, indicating the transplantation was effective, with epithelial stem cells having differentiated and developed into skin tissue cells on the patient’s legs.
"The recovery is good; with another batch of transplantation, you can basically continue treatment at your local hospital later."
Zhao Heng looked satisfied and said to the patient.
"Thank you, thank you, doctor."
The patient expressed his gratitude, having suffered seven surgeries due to this strange illness, and now finally seeing the light of hope.
When Zhao Heng saw the group of thirteen or fourteen trainees, residents, and intern doctors entering with him, he suddenly thought as an associate director and senior doctor, it was time for questions. Based on their answers, he would then explain further to enhance their understanding.
Thinking of this, Zhao Heng looked at these people and slowly began, "In treating this patient, we used induced pluripotent epithelial stem cells. Can anyone describe the four key genes identified as transcription factors in the cultivation of induced pluripotent epithelial stem cells?"
Zhao Heng decided to start with a relatively simple question—at least one he thought was quite simple.
However, after asking the question, the room descended into silence, especially among the trainees, residents, and intern doctors, who lowered their heads, deep in thought but unable to come up with an answer to Zhao Heng’s question.
The knowledge about cultivating induced pluripotent epithelial stem cells is too advanced and cutting-edge!
Not to mention the intern doctors; even the trainees and residents are still at the stage of understanding, distinguishing, and diagnosing common, frequently occurring diseases.
For them, who are new to the field, the technology of cultivating induced pluripotent epithelial stem cells in biological gene engineering is excessively advanced.
The silent atmosphere continued.
Zhao Heng hadn’t expected this situation; in his view, stem cell applications were now relatively widespread, and as a doctor, one should have some understanding.
Compared to the preparation of nanomaterials, nanotherapy, brain function research, and consciousness recovery, knowledge related to stem cells seems relatively simpler to Zhao Heng.
Why is everyone speechless?!
Zhao Heng’s gaze swept over the trainees, residents, and intern doctors, and where he looked, heads were lowered for fear of being named to answer.
With so many people present, providing a correct answer would naturally bring recognition but failing to respond would mean a rocky start.
Everyone at the center was just starting; no one wanted to make a misstep immediately.
As for Liu Meng and Li Yang, they had no problem answering, and Zhao Heng hadn’t intended to ask them.
Just as Zhao Heng was feeling a bit disappointed, Ruan Liuzheng suddenly spoke up, "Director, in the cultivation of induced pluripotent epithelial stem cells, four key genes were identified as transcription factors, namely OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC."
Hearing Ruan Liuzheng’s answer, Zhao Heng’s expression relaxed; it turned out someone could answer, indicating the question wasn’t difficult; it was just that these people weren’t diligent.
"Then could you describe the significant advantages of induced pluripotent epithelial stem cells (iPSC) in terms of cell and gene, especially in the treatment of skin diseases?"
Very satisfied with Ruan Liuzheng’s answer, Zhao Heng decided to probe further with another question to assess her level.
If Ruan Liuzheng’s good character had left an impression initially, now her professional skills were proving noteworthy, just to see her level of expertise now. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Upon hearing Zhao Heng’s question, apart from Li Yang and Liu Meng, the other doctors appeared puzzled, and some stared intensely at Ruan Liuzheng.
The look implied a challenge, wondering if she could answer this too.
In the ward area, Ruan Liuzheng had indeed caused quite a stir; male doctors naturally favored such an attractive, excellent woman with a good personality, while female doctors felt slightly repelled by such charm.
After all, when Ruan Liuzheng arrived, she already had an acquaintance among the higher-ups who was her senior, which was an undeniable advantage compared to others without any ties.
After asking the question, Zhao Heng’s gaze on Ruan Liuzheng was probing; if the previous question was easy in his view, this one had some difficulty.
After all, induced pluripotent epithelial stem cells, iPSC, were little known among ordinary doctors, let alone specifying their use.
Upon hearing Zhao Heng’s question, Ruan Liuzheng calmly contemplated, and a spark of wisdom began to ignite. Instead of calling it a spark, it was more that Liu Meng had previously equipped her with thorough preparation, which came in handy now.
