Chapter 591 Saving the National Treasure Panda
"It's been half a month. Even in animals, the therapeutic effect of the artificial kidney is very obvious."

Dean Liu sat in the office, looking at the experiment report on the computer, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Since the first day of pig artificial kidney experiments, he continued to do a batch of animal experiments.

The experimental center's artificial kidney experiment now has two control groups. The test group consists of 6 pigs fitted with artificial kidneys, and the control group consists of 6 pigs receiving conventional dialysis treatment.

Two weeks later, the research team reported that the pigs treated with artificial kidneys were in good condition, eating and drinking without abnormalities, and all of them looked alive and well, not much different from healthy pigs.

As for the pigs in the control group who received conventional dialysis, one-third of the pigs had kidney necrosis and died suddenly.

Although the remaining 4 animals are fine, the situation is not optimistic. The serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen are still maintained at a relatively high level, and they need to rely on dialysis for survival.

As for the condition of the pigs, it was even worse. They could be seen as sick pigs at a glance, and they couldn't pass the quarantine at the slaughterhouse. They had to be stamped with a red stamp and destroyed.

"When the artificial kidney is removed, I wonder if the kidney function of the six pigs will return to normal."

Dean Liu thought cheerfully, then stepped back, took out his phone, and opened a WeChat group.

This was his group of college classmates, who were either veterinarians or researchers in animal medicine.

Everyone seems to be chatting in full swing, and new news pops up one after another.

He didn't look carefully at everyone's chat content, just swiped a few times, and sent out a few pictures of pigs wearing artificial kidneys that were alive and kicking.

Lao Liu: "Hehe, let's take a look, this is Sanqing's artificial kidney. The animal experiments are very successful. It can't be seen that these two pigs have acute kidney failure."

"The next two pictures are the control group undergoing routine dialysis. They are hopeless and just waiting to die."

"Comparing the two groups, isn't it obvious?"

"Sanqing is too awesome. It should be used on clinical patients. What kind of uremia and kidney failure can be cured."

He happily sent these few words, only to find that the whole group fell into a strange silence.

Dean Liu suddenly became unhappy, feeling that his love for sharing had been let down.

"What are you doing? Don't you say a few words about such good news?"

It took several seconds before people spoke one after another, but what they said made him puzzled.

"Flower is finally saved."

"You can try it, a dead horse is a living horse doctor."

"Looking at the condition of the two pigs, they should be able to be rescued."

"Anyway, there's nothing I can do. I can't just watch Huahua wait to die."

"They are all kidney failure, the same disease, and they can definitely be cured."

Dean Liu was confused and couldn't help sending a message.

"What are you talking about? Who is Huahua?"

Only then did someone explain the situation to him.

"Hua Hua is a giant panda that Lao Hu is treating recently. It seems that he also suffered from kidney failure and underwent routine dialysis, but the clinical symptoms have not been relieved, and he also developed peritonitis and ascites in his stomach. I am afraid that he will not live long. Worrying."

"That's right, before you spoke, we were trying to figure out something for Old Hu."

"Old Liu is still very powerful, and he has a good solution as soon as he comes."

"@老胡, hurry up and call Lao Liu."

Dean Liu suddenly realized that these people saw that pigs can use artificial kidneys, so they wanted to try it for giant pandas with kidney failure to see if they could be rescued.

"National treasure giant panda, this, I haven't tried it, and I don't know what to do. What if I don't save it, I won't be held responsible."

Dean Liu murmured in his heart and was hesitating when the phone rang suddenly.

At first glance, he is really an old Hu.

After answering the call, Lao Hu's hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone immediately.

"Brother, is the picture you posted true? Are all the pigs with kidney failure in your animal experiment center rescued?"

When Dean Liu heard that Lao Hu's tone was anxious enough, he quickly talked about the artificial kidney from the beginning to the end.

"That's it. Brother, your business is my business. I'm happy to help. The main thing is the artificial kidney. It's really not my thing, and I don't have the right to make decisions."

"Besides, this artificial kidney seems to have been tested on dogs and pigs. I can't say whether it will work on giant pandas."

"If you really want to try it, I can help you contact the person in charge of Sanqing's project. As for whether it will succeed or not, I can't guarantee it."

Lao Hu is also an old Jianghu, and he immediately understood the meaning of his words, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, thank you brother, although the giant panda is a national treasure, but it is critically ill now, and there is nothing I can do here. Horse doctor."

"As long as you are willing to help spread the word, I will be grateful. It is best if you can save it. Even if you can't, I will accept your love."

Dean Liu nodded and said: "Don't worry, Sanqing will definitely make a move. Just wait for the good news."

"By the way, it's best to call the giant panda Huahua, call it Huahua, explain its situation in detail, and then take some pictures for me."

"Okay, no problem, I'll send it right away."

After a while, Lao Hu sent the case information of the giant panda Huahua.

"Aged 7 years old, lung infection caused kidney failure, after examination, the liver, gallbladder, spleen, and heart were all normal, the bladder had 100 to 200 ml of urine, the left kidney was atrophied, the right kidney was slightly larger, there was a 3 cm long cyst, a small amount ascites."

"Antibiotics have been infused and the lung infection is contained, but the kidney failure is getting worse."

In the picture, a furry giant panda is lying on its back on a special hospital bed with its eyes slightly closed, its abdomen twitching slightly, and it looks very uncomfortable.

Two staff members quietly waited beside it, one stroked its head to comfort it, and the other gently pressed its right front paw for IV drip.

Dean Liu felt inexplicably sad when he saw Guobao's weak appearance.

He quickly found Ding Mian's phone number and dialed it.

******
Sichuan Province, Giant Panda Base.

"Huahua, hold on a little longer, I've already found a way to save you."

"When the artificial kidney arrives, you will definitely get better."

Hu Zhengqiang stood in front of the hospital bed, with tears in his eyes, stroking the giant panda Huahua's furry head, and said silently in his heart.

He has treated animals at the base for many years, and his favorite is the national treasure giant panda.

Especially Huahua, whom he watched and grew up with, can be described as having a deep affection.

A week ago, Huahua started to fall ill, and she barely ate anything since then. She was fed milk with a syringe every day to maintain her body's basic needs.

Its current physique is already quite weak, and it doesn't even have the strength to stand up and go out for activities, so it can only lie sickly on the bed.

In order to increase nutrition for Huahua and improve her disease resistance, he had given Huahua a drip two days ago.

The lung infection has been brought under control, but he has nothing to do with the resulting kidney failure.

After all, he's just a veterinarian, too.

Can't deal with too serious intractable diseases.

At this time, there was a sudden noise outside.

Then a doctor in a white coat hurried in.

Hu Zhengqiang hurried forward to meet him, and squeezed out a smile: "Hi Director Cui, I'm really sorry to trouble you again."

The person who came was Director Cui from the Intensive Care Department of West China Hospital. After he learned that Huahua's condition had worsened, he hurried over.

As a national protected animal, the priority of medical treatment for giant pandas is still quite high.

Director Cui came to Huahua, took out a stethoscope, and began to auscultate the heart and lung conditions.

After listening, he began to ask: "How is Huahua's body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, and bowel movements?"

Hu Zhengqiang reported all the situations one by one.

Director Cui frowned involuntarily, thought for a moment, and said.

"How about this? I suggest that a section of the hospital bed be padded with double-layer planks, so that Huahua's head is slightly higher, so that it can sleep more comfortably, and it can also minimize the pressure on the heart and lungs caused by lying flat."

"In addition, I see that it is a bit rough when it breathes. It is best to infuse oxygen, enlarge the oxygen, and use the oxygen mask to directly aim at its mouth to deliver oxygen."

Hu Zhengqiang quickly agreed, let the staff trot out all the way, and brought an oxygen generator over.

After the oxygen mask was put on Hua Hua's face, the sound of her panting gradually decreased.

Director Cui frowned a little, and continued.

"I see that its heart rate is fast, its blood pressure is too high, and its urination is abnormal. You should slow down the speed of the infusion appropriately, and then inject it with some diuretic drugs to maintain its normal basic metabolism."

Hu Zhengqiang wrote them down one by one, brought furosemide, and injected Huahua.

Director Cui nodded, and said with a serious face: "The biggest problem right now is to make Huahua urinate normally. As long as she urinates normally, it means that the body's metabolic functions are not completely disordered, and there is still room for rescue."

"After the furosemide injection, inject some cough-relieving, anti-inflammatory, and nutritional supplements to enhance Huahua's disease resistance."

"At the same time, regular physical examinations are carried out every day to accurately grasp the development and changes of the disease."

Hu Zhengqiang hesitated to speak, and hesitated for a while before asking: "It can't excrete urine in the first place, and if it is given so much nutrient solution, there will be more water in the body. What if it still can't excrete?"

Director Cui pondered: "You have a dialysis machine for small animals, right? If you really don't have urine, you can only go to the dialysis machine."

Hu Zhengqiang smiled wryly, and said, "We used a small animal dialysis machine to perform hemodialysis on Huahua twice, but the results were not very good, and her kidney function did not improve. Let's go for peritoneal dialysis, as she has ascites and is not suitable for it."

Director Cui immediately showed embarrassment, and said after a while: "Then this problem is a bit difficult."

"However, no matter what, the dialysis machine must be turned on. It doesn't matter if you keep doing it, let's keep your life alive first."

"By the way, let's connect with the experts in the hospital and have an expert consultation. Let's discuss together and see how to adopt the most effective treatment plan."

The two then went to the next room and remotely connected with the kidney specialists in the hospital to discuss the treatment plan together.

However, facing the fact that Huahua has not urinated all the time, the experts have no good solution, they can only adopt the treatment plan of inducing urination and dialysis.

Hu Zhengqiang listened to the discussion of the doctors, his eyes gradually turned red.

Hearing the expert's tone, Huahua seemed to be hopeless, and he felt sad for a while.

While feeling dejected, a staff member rushed in and shouted loudly.

"Doctor Hu, someone is looking for you, saying that an artificial kidney is here, but you have been unable to get through the phone."

"Artificial kidney?" Hu Zheng jumped up, stood up, and took out his cell phone to check. Sure enough, there were four or five missed calls.

"Why did you arrive so soon?" He was surprised and delighted, and hurried out.

Director Cui and the experts on the other side of the screen looked at each other instantly, not knowing what happened.

He had no choice but to say hello to the expert, and hurried out with him.

Looking outside, Hu Zhengqiang was holding a refrigerator in his hand, looking like he had found a treasure.

Standing next to him was a strange young man who kept talking, as if he was telling him something.

Hu Zhengqiang kept nodding while listening carefully.

Director Cui walked over and asked in a low voice, "Old Hu, what are you?"

When Hu Zhengqiang saw that it was him, he was immediately overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Director Cui, that's great. It just so happens that you are here. By the way, you know how to do general surgery, right?"

Director Cui nodded because he didn't understand.

A smile appeared on Hu Zhengqiang's face: "Then the external operation of the artificial kidney will be left to you."

Director Cui said in confusion, "Old Hu, what artificial kidney? I didn't understand."

Hu Zhengqiang opened the refrigerator in his hand, pointed to a rectangular metal box inside, and said with a happy smile.

"This is an external bioartificial kidney just successfully developed by Sanqing. You can use it as a 24-hour portable hemodialysis machine. Animal experiments have been done on pigs, and the effect is very good."

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, took out his mobile phone with his left hand, found a few photos sent by Dean Liu, and handed them over.

"Look, the thing on this pig is an artificial kidney. They also have acute kidney failure, but after half a month after installing this thing, they still look very healthy."

At this time, the strange boy next to him interrupted with a smile.

"Director Cui, hello, I'm the medical representative of Sanqing Company. I heard that we need help here, so I flew here from Kunming with an artificial kidney. Our bioartificial kidney is much better than conventional dialysis. Hope it can help you."

Director Cui looked at the picture in his hand and said without raising his head: "It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you, I really didn't expect that Sanqing has also developed a biological artificial kidney, which is so much better than the dialysis machine, it's amazing. .”

The medical representative handed over a beautiful manual with a smile on his face, and said, "This is a detailed introduction to the artificial kidney. You can read it, and you will have a better understanding of the high-tech we use."

Director Cui took the manual, his eyes lit up immediately, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

At this time, Hu Zhengqiang had already set up the operation site next door.

Director Cui was amazed after reading the manual, and immediately chatted with the medical representative again.

"It does look good, but we doctors still have to see the actual treatment effect to count."

"Of course, you will see the effect tomorrow after the operation."

The medical representative smiled slightly, as if he had full confidence in his products.

Half an hour later, Hu Zhengqiang made preoperative preparations and brought Director Cui to the operating room.

For Director Cui, everything was very simple, and the operation was completed in ten minutes.

The artificial kidney was tied around Huahua's waist and began to faithfully perform its duties.

Next, it depends on the working effect of the artificial kidney.

The next day, Hu Zhengqiang, who was supposed to go to work at 08:30, arrived at the base at six o'clock in the morning.

He had something on his mind, he couldn't let go of Hua Hua's safety, and he didn't sleep well all night.

Walking into the ward, Huahua tilted her white head, sleeping soundly on her back.

On the chair next to it, the breeder who has been inseparable all the time is lying on the table and sleeping soundly.

Hu Zhengqiang breathed a sigh of relief, tiptoed to the hospital bed, picked up the urine bag to have a look.

The hand was heavy, and the bag was full of urine.

He was so ecstatic that he almost cried out.

After finally restraining his excitement, he walked out quietly, not daring to make a sound.

When he came to the yard outside, seeing the greenery in front of him, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, looked up to the sky and laughed.

Smiling and laughing, two lines of hot tears suddenly rolled down from the corners of his eyes unexpectedly.
