Chapter 343 Limb Regeneration
Zhou Lin is now overwhelmed by various application letters.
Emails and letter packages in the office were piled up, all of which were requests from the medical consortium in the world. Electronic eyes brought an angel-like gospel to the blind people all over the world.
Carbon nano artificial eyeballs only account for a small part of human Cyborgization surgery, but they still have a large market. Moreover, the Meow Star Group does not have any secrets, so everyone who should know will soon know.
这也意味着大量的金钱,论其成本来说,电子眼球体积小成本并不高,只不过手术所需的高精密手术机器折旧成本比较高些,但是这种手术机器人有替代办法,实在不行干脆让人来做这种精密手术,如果不怕手术成功率降低的话.
Only considering the consumed carbon nanomachines and other surgical equipment, this cost is much cheaper than other artificial organs, but its importance is not low at all. I believe that many people would rather use the original five organs with problems than lose their normal vision.
As one of the insiders, Li Maoye knew that the cost of this surgery was at most 50,000 yuan. After all, the cost of a single electronic eyeball was only over 10,000 yuan, and the cost of the surgery was only more than 30,000 yuan. The charging of about 50,000 yuan has taken into account all the costs.
However, the market price may eventually increase several times. The relevant departments recommend that the price of transplanting an eyeball should not be less than 200,000, because the price is too low and it can easily lead to waste.
"The cost of normal surgery will be reimbursed by 90%. If it is those who are just having nothing to do and just play with, they have to pay for it themselves!" explained the relevant department.
This consideration makes sense. After all, with the improvement of cloning technology, it will definitely be possible to interchange artificial eyeballs and cloned eyeballs in the future. If everyone thinks that the cost of eye replacement is too low, they may use artificial eyeballs today and cloned eyeballs tomorrow.
Human social behaviorists also believe that this is possible, and even if they cannot be replaced with cloned eyeballs, there will definitely be people trying to do this.
In addition to normal vision functions, artificial eyeballs also have night vision capabilities, VR display and long-distance focusing functions, etc., which are much more convenient to use than real eyeballs, and will not cause fatigue caused by excessive eye use.
After evaluation, experts believe that many technological trends may find ways to install an artificial eyeball, regardless of whether they have vision problems or not.
Of course, Meow Star Group has no objection to this, and they have had a cooperation agreement with the Western pharmaceutical consortium. If domestic artificial organs are sold too cheaply, Meow Star Group will have to bear the pressure from foreign people. After all, if the food is too ugly, it must be covered up a little.
"Those guys who are unscrupulous will definitely dare to ask for 500,000 US dollars each..." Li Maoye estimated that the US dollar has depreciated too much now, which has made rabbit products much more expensive.
The relevant departments are not slow to do anything that involves the vital interests of the people. When they learn that the catstar laboratory needs people born blind to perform human experiments, they immediately screened out ten blind people for laboratory selection before the volunteers from the Western Medicine Consortium arrived.
Finally, Qin Hua selected a blind man who had no vision at birth, and his eyeball development was extremely incomplete, and he was born blind man with extremely deformity.
According to the test results, the visual nerves of this naturally blind man almost do not exist. If artificial eye surgery can bring him light, then other blind people will definitely not be able to deal with it.
Regarding the fact that carbon nanomachines can grow into nerve cells and connect to brain nerves after they are combined with stem cells, they are still exploring gradually. Stimulating stem cell growth and differentiation is no longer a problem. Experiments have proved that stem cells can become tissue cells of various organs and tissues of the human body, but it is not very certain whether they can work after they are connected.
However, the final result of the operation was very good. According to the news obtained by Li Maoye, the man born blind man was able to see things clearly after undergoing artificial eye transplant surgery. Although this was his first time feeling the scene of the bright world, his brain did not fail to recognize it.
The blind man cried so hard that he looked extremely excited. The newly repaired eye glands shed tears that he had never seen in his life. Because his emotions were difficult to calm down, the tears kept flowing.
In the end, even the experts began to worry, fearing that this guy would not be able to bear it, and thought that he would cry until his myocardial infarction, so he transplanted a second set of artificial hearts to prevent the joy from turning into funerals.
This operation proves that the brains of people born blind have cognitive functions for color. Maybe they have never been exposed to external scenes, but as long as the hardware conditions are not problematic, the software functions in the brain can work normally, just like the graphics card driver in the computer has been installed long ago.
There are so many contents of various data analyses, which are enough for experts to write a series of papers on nerve cells and brain functions. Maybe it will be another Nobel Prize.
However, now the scientific research circle of the flower farmer has lost the knot of the Nobel Prize. With the precedent of the strongest science and technology tycoon in China, other scientific researchers will not be complacent about winning the Nobel Prize. Instead, they feel that they are a bit unsociable, so other scientific researchers have begun to declare that they will not receive the prize.
The result has led to the gold content of the National Highest Science and Technology Award, the National Natural Science Award and the National Science and Technology Progress Award, which is as if the Rabbit Pin Poon National Championship Award is more difficult to win than the World Championship Award. Therefore, after everyone is in a high spirit, they will no longer look up to various foreign awards.
The successful artificial eyeball experiment gave countless blind people hope to see the light. Unless the brain is damaged and loses visual function, there will be no blind people in this world, provided that they have money to undergo transplant surgery.
Rabbit basically includes this surgery in the medical insurance category. It is a special medical insurance reimbursement together with carbon nanoorgans. It can be reimbursed up to 90% of the expenses. As long as it can be proved that it was not caused by his own destruction of his eyes. If it is an industrial injury, the patient will almost never have to pay for it himself. The remaining 10% must be paid by a company or enterprise unit.
From the perspective of rulers, a good medical system is conducive to improving the physical fitness of the people, thus allowing the people to create more production value, and helping increase taxes, etc.
Moreover, artificial eyeballs are the cheapest carbon nano artificial organs, and the cost of surgery is not expensive. In addition, precision surgical robots have also been designed, which is enough to reduce the manufacturing cost to the point where every hospital can use it. Therefore, in China, this surgery is really not expensive.
Even though the final package price is set at 200,000 yuan per eyeball, if the benefits of the national medical insurance policy are included, it only takes more than 40,000 yuan to replace both eyeballs. Such a low cost makes many blind people overjoyed, and the people who were originally burdened by the family have restored their labor force.
But it is different abroad. Although Meow Star Group has not yet exported surgical robots and electronic eyeballs, those medical consortiums have basically revealed their tone through newspapers.
It was even higher than Li Maoye expected. The price they offered was more than 600,000 US dollars. After the insurance company included the operation in insurance, the annual fee was much higher. Even if there was insurance, the insurance company had to negotiate with the hospital, and in the end, it had to pay more than 100,000 US dollars out of its own pocket.
However, they knew that not many people could afford this, so they simply provided a surgical transplant loan package that could squeeze every drop of oil from the patient.
It is amazing to see people so skillfully harvesting the people but not being able to say anything wrong. Then many people discovered that the rabbit's domestic welfare policy had another wave of huge protests, but in the end they were dragged out.
After all, there is no illegal place for the medical consortium, and even if it is in trouble, you can't make any mistakes. People have the freedom to set prices, and you also have the freedom to not use them. You can't force the hospital to lower the price before providing surgical services just because some people don't have money to pay.
碳纳米机器治疗肝脏的技术研发取得了突破,本来肝脏细胞原本就是人体器官里面再生能力非常强的一类,所以在干细胞和碳纳米机器结合后,能够自发清理掉病变的肝细胞,同时完成新细胞的再生.
Therefore, not only problems such as cirrhosis have been solved, but even the liver can be removed and regenerated. You only need to inject a large amount of carbon nanomachines and stem cell synthesis liquid, and then grow into a new liver organ in a very short time.
If there is a second set of livers during this period, it is not even necessary to treat the body's detoxification function, as long as it can solve the bleeding in the body, there is no problem, and you can slowly wait for it to grow out on its own.
"In other words, human liver injury is not a big problem!" Li Maoye concluded.
Of course, the biggest goal of Meow Star Laboratory is human cell tissue regeneration, or limb regeneration technology, etc. Liver problems are solved simply, and they are just as natural as they are not disturbed.
If one day the regeneration of hands, feet or other organs can be achieved, and it will grow again like a gecko's tail, then the path to genetic immortality is no less than that of mechanical immortality.
According to the current development trend, these technologies have actually been able to see the dawn. However, such related research is not intended to be announced to the public, but is based on the requirements of relevant departments to review and then making decisions.
Obviously, limb regeneration technology is very useful in military use, so the requirements of relevant departments are not excessive.
