Dongda Affiliated Hospital, Department of Cardiology.

As the most famous associate professor in the Department of Cardiology, Associate Professor Hitotsubashi has his own experimental laboratory.

Associate Professor Yiqiao Yiqiao was busy attending various surgeries, meetings, and banquets this week. It was not until today, Saturday, that he turned down a banquet and had some time for himself.

After arriving at the experimental laboratory, Associate Professor Hitotsubashi put on a mask, gloves, and goggles, and then opened the door of the refrigerator and took out a dark red sarcoma that was larger than a normal heart.

This is the cardiac sarcoma cut out from Asakusa's mother.

This cardiac sarcoma was so special that Associate Professor Hitotsubashi had never seen it before. After cutting it out, he did not destroy it like ordinary sarcomas. Instead, he stored it in a refrigerator and prepared to study it when he had time.

Can you make some discoveries and write one or two valuable papers?

With his current superb medical skills, Associate Professor Hitotsubashi naturally likes to delve into medical skills from the bottom of his heart. However, as his fame grows, he also pursues the professorship that is only one step away but completely out of reach.

, Associate Professor Hitotsubashi had to spend a lot of time socializing.

He finally turned down tonight's entertainment.

Carefully putting down the cardiac sarcoma, Associate Professor Hitotsubashi began to defrost the sarcoma.

While the sarcoma was not completely thawed, he turned aside to prepare various equipment.

Half an hour later, the cardiac sarcoma was almost completely thawed. Associate Professor Hitotsubashi came back with a scalpel and cutting disk, preparing to cut off a part for study.

Take the remaining part back and continue to freeze.

But unexpectedly, when he returned to the cardiac sarcoma, Associate Professor Hitotsubashi looked at the cardiac sarcoma and his eyes widened in shock.

He clearly remembered that a week ago, after the heart sarcoma was removed, it quickly stopped beating.

Now it has been frozen in the refrigerator for nearly a week, and after being thawed again, the heart sarcoma actually started beating again.

How can this be?

Associate Professor Hitotsubashi doubted whether he had seen it wrong.

With trembling hands, he gently touched the heart sarcoma.

Feeling the beating amplitude of the heart sarcoma, he was finally sure.

This cardiac sarcoma is still alive!

However, judging from the amplitude of the beating, it is already quite weak.

If it hadn't been frozen in the refrigerator for this week, it is very likely that he would have died.

This cardiac sarcoma is not afraid of freezing. If you put it back in the refrigerator immediately, it should survive for a while.

But if you thaw it back and forth like this two or three times, it may actually die.

It is difficult to make any breakthrough discoveries in medicine after two or three experimental studies.

If Associate Professor Hitotsubashi wants to study something from this magical cardiac sarcoma, he must find a way to keep this cardiac sarcoma alive.

If he can make any breakthrough discoveries from this cardiac sarcoma, then his position as professor will be secure!

Associate Professor Hitotsubashi's thoughts gradually became firmer.

Competition for professorships in university hospitals is extremely fierce.

Professor and associate professor are just one word different, but their power and treatment are vastly different.

Especially the professors at Tokyo University Affiliated Hospital have great power.

Japan's medical system is very special. Under the jurisdiction of Tokyo University Affiliated Hospital, there are many large and small affiliated hospitals and clinics, which are all managed by Tokyo University Affiliated Hospital.

If Associate Professor Hitotsubashi can become a professor of cardiology, he will have the personnel power over the entire department of cardiology at Tokyo University Affiliated Hospital, and can arbitrarily dispatch all cardiology physicians and hospital directors at Tokyo University Affiliated Hospital and its large and small hospitals.

I don't have the power to stop it yet.

For example, Professor Hitotsubashi has a topic he wants to research and needs the help of a doctor from a certain hospital under his supervision. He issues a dispatch order. The doctor does not want to be fired. Even if he is not willing, he can only come and report to participate in the research.

In recent years, Associate Professor Hitotsubashi has done a lot of work and made many connections in order to become a professor of cardiology.

But Associate Professor Hitotsubashi gradually discovered that the current professor of cardiology did not like him, and even if he retired, he would not be allowed to take the position.

So he has to figure it out on his own.

Under normal circumstances, new professors are awarded through an electoral system. The existing professors in the hospital vote among the nominees. Those who meet the conditions can become professors and replace the retired professors.

Associate Professor Hitotsubashi's qualifications are definitely sufficient. If a professor of cardiology is willing to choose him, his chances of becoming a professor will be greatly increased.

But if the professor of cardiology does not want to elect him, then his chances of being elected will be extremely low. Even if he builds a good relationship with other professors, it will be difficult for him to be elected.

Over the past year, Associate Professor Hitotsubashi has been working hard for this, but the hope is still slim.

But the opportunity is not impossible.

Four years ago, there was a person at the Tokyo University Affiliated Hospital who broke the rules and became a professor in one fell swoop.

Masahiko Kiryu!

An ordinary doctor who was originally unknown.

With this cardiac sarcoma, he can definitely follow the path of Kiryu Masahiko.

As long as there is a major breakthrough in research, even if the cardiology professor is unwilling, he can only be chosen to become a professor.

Moreover, it is unlikely that the hospital will increase the number of professorships again. If he can make a major breakthrough, the current cardiology professors may have to retire early and give up their positions to him.

This idea made Associate Professor Hitotsubashi instantly full of motivation.

The most important thing now is to keep the cardiac sarcoma alive first, and don’t think too much about anything else for the time being.

Associate Professor Hitotsubashi quickly turned on the computer and pulled up Asakusa's mother's medical records.

"The diagnosis is that the cardiac sarcoma is constantly absorbing nutrients from the patient, causing the patient to be very weak. In this way, as long as I can provide nutrients to the cardiac sarcoma, I can keep it alive."

"No, just surviving is not enough. It is best to raise it to a larger size before further research can be done!"

Associate Professor Hitotsubashi looked at the medical records and thought.

He stood up and pushed over a heat detector, then took a bottle of culture medium and nutrient solution, and poured it on the incision of the cardiac sarcoma.

"It sure works, it's absorbing the nutrient solution!"

Associate Professor Hitotsubashi looked at the thermal imaging instrument and felt excited.

The cardiac sarcoma is beating one after another, and its color distribution on the thermal imaging camera is slowly changing.

After thinking about it, Associate Professor Hitotsubashi took out several different nutrient solutions and poured them on the sarcoma incision.

Then he was refreshed and discovered that cardiac sarcomas have different absorption rates for different nutrient solutions.

"It should be able to ensure its survival. Now, let's cut off part of it first and see if the small part that was removed can also survive and proliferate. If it can, it may be an epoch-making discovery!"

Associate Professor Hitotsubashi began to conduct experiments.

He removed a small piece of sarcoma from the heart sarcoma, placed it in a petri dish aside, and poured in nutrient solution.

"It seems to be alive, but the speed is too slow. I wonder if there is a more effective nutrient solution?" Associate Professor Hitotsubashi thought silently.

"By the way, when Kiryu Masahiko was researching cancer cell immunoactivators, didn't he produce a by-product of a cancer cell promoter?"

Associate Professor Hitotsubashi suddenly thought about it.

Cancer cell promoters, as the name suggests, are agents that promote the growth of cancer cells.

It is said to be a medicine, but its essence is actually a super nutrient solution that cancer cells like very much.

When Kiryu Masahiko gave a speech inside the Tokyo University Affiliated Hospital, he gave a small bottle to some professors and associate professors, and Associate Professor Hitotsubashi also took a small bottle.

Because there is a cancer cell immune activator, this cancer cell promoter is of no use. Associate Professor Hitotsubashi got it, and after testing the effect for a while, he put it in a cold storage and froze it.

Almost four years have passed, and I don’t know if the cancer cell promoter is still useful.

After thinking about it, Associate Professor Hitotsubashi decided to go to the refrigerator to take it out and try the effect.

…

The next day is Sunday.

Originally, the Asakusa sisters were going to the hospital to visit their mother today, but because the midterm exam was approaching, the Asakusa sisters had basically no time to study last week, and their study progress was slowed down a lot. Asakusa's mother strictly prohibited them from visiting her again before the exams were completed.

Asakusa's mother was still very scary when she was angry, and the two sisters didn't want to make their mother angry. Seeing that their mother was fine, the two obediently studied and did test questions at home.

Higashino Hirosawa took Chiwa to Futian's mother-in-law's house and asked her to help look after it for a while.

The Asakusa sisters will definitely not study for long before they come over to play with Chiwa.

Granny Futian agreed with a smile, and Higashino Hirosawa waved goodbye to Xiao Qianhe.

Then early in the morning, Higashino Hirosawa came to Tokyo University Affiliated Hospital.

"Higashino-kun, good morning. Did you get the medicine to remove the scar?"

Asakusa's mother was very surprised that Higashino Hirosawa came so early.

"Yes."

Higashino Hirosawa nodded and took out the wound repair plaster.

This wound repair plaster is contained in a small white ceramic bottle, and the weight is not much.
