closing speech(2/2)
The lack of red blood cells leads to insufficient oxygen supply in the body and is also the main cause of anemia.
If a nanoparticle with a stronger oxygen transport capacity than red blood cells could be produced, it could be introduced into the body in a short period of time when a large amount of oxygen is urgently needed, and then excreted through metabolism after use.
Not only can it solve the problem of insufficient oxygen during exercise and reduce the damage caused by anaerobic exercise, it can also treat some altitude sickness.
Even if it can be used for a long time, it can also be used to treat anemia.
Thinking of this, Xue Shen's eyes suddenly lit up.
When he first started studying this, it was mainly for personal interest, but he didn't think much about it.
However, if you can not only solve personal problems, you can also treat more patients.
Wouldn’t it be possible to bundle personal interests and company interests together?
In other words, you can use it for public and private purposes, and use the company's projects to benefit yourself. By the way, you can also benefit patients and make a lot of money.
For all three parties, it was a fruitful harvest, and it was simply a win.
This may be the happiness of being a scientist.
Xue Shen thought proudly and made a quick decision in his heart.
He quickly returned to the computer, his hands flew across the keyboard, and he quickly wrote a simple project report.
"Feasibility Report on a Biomimetic Nanomaterial for Oxygen Transport in the Body"
I wrote a lot and submitted it.
"Okay, just wait for the boss to approve it in a few days and then we can start it."
"This is a small project. There are already many research results in academia, but there are no products that can be commercialized yet."
"I don't have any big projects now anyway, so why not study this carefully? The prospects are still very broad."
"The most important thing is that I can be the first to enjoy, no, try out any research results."
When Xue Shen thought of this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and laughed.
He turned off his computer, prepared to go to the cafeteria to eat, and then went back to continue his research.
However, just after taking two steps, the familiar soreness hit me again.
"Damn it, why haven't you healed yet? No, it's too uncomfortable. We need to work harder on the project."
Xue Shen limped out of the office while cursing.
The next day, after a night's rest, he finally felt better.
My waist is no longer sore, my legs are no longer painful, but my thighs are still a little sore and numb.
But it’s not a big problem. If you take another day of rest, you will definitely be able to recover completely.
After my routine work in the morning, I suddenly received a system prompt in my mailbox.
"Your project request has been approved, please check it as soon as possible."
Xue Shen was immediately delighted: "The boss approved it so quickly? This speed is amazing."
Although he felt that this project was definitely fine and would not be rejected, Wei Kang's speed still exceeded his expectations.
After taking a look at the approval, he found that his boss was very approving of his idea, and he couldn't help but smile.
"Great. The next step is to select a few materials and then simulate and optimize them on the computer."
"When the results come out, we can do experiments to verify them and see if there are any gains."
"There are many types of specific nano-oxygen carrier materials. In this regard, hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers and perfluorinated compound-based oxygen carriers are two of the more popular categories."
"Hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers have two disadvantages. One is that it contains heme molecules, which can cause auto-oxidative damage to the body. The two hemoglobin and oxygen molecules are reversibly chemically combined, so they cannot release all dissolved oxygen to surrounding tissues. The oxygen delivery efficiency is relatively high. Low."
"In comparison, perfluorinated compounds and oxygen are simply physically dissolved. With the same amount of dissolved oxygen, the oxygen released is 4 times higher than that of hemoglobin. Therefore, its ability to carry and release oxygen is very superior, and its tissue compatibility and safety are also good. Has high clinical potential."
"Perfluorocarbons are a good choice. The hydrogen atoms are partially replaced by fluorine atoms. They are very chemically inert and relatively safe. The dissolved oxygen content is about 40-50vol%. Under the same oxygen partial pressure, the oxygen-carrying capacity is that of water.
20-25 times that of plasma.”
"In addition, it also has the ability to dissolve carbon dioxide and can take away the carbon dioxide produced by aerobic respiration of tissue cells and the waste products produced by metabolism."
"At present, this substance does not have much clinical application. It is mainly used for blood substitutes, organ preservation perfusion fluids, etc. There is still great development prospect."
"Of course, 20 times the oxygen-carrying capacity is still not enough. The molecular formula and nanostructure must be greatly improved, and the preparation method of the nanoemulsion must be carefully designed to adapt to industrial mass production."
