Vol 6 Chapter 2948: 3 million special groups among the blind

【Revision】

Seeing the prolonged applause from the audience, Wu Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, there are differences within the company on whether to release this product, and the differences are relatively large. Although this product is indeed effective, Wu Hao and other company executives have personal experience, but, after all, this is a health care product, or an auxiliary drug, and it will inevitably bring about huge controversy after its release.

Because there are too many examples in this regard, so many health care products have not all disappeared one by one. Even health care products have become a means for capital to collect money, and they were very popular many years ago.

Later, with the improvement of people's health awareness and the promotion and coverage of related science popularization, people gradually began to lose interest in these so-called quotation products, which also led to the decline of the whole health care products.

And now Wu Hao and the others are going to release such a so-called health product, isn't it a bit against the trend of the times?

In the end, after continuous and intense discussions, the agreed one prevailed, and this product was released. And in order to convince everyone, Wu Hao said a lot of things.

Although everyone's response is very enthusiastic, he predicts that this product may not cause a sensation in a period of time after it is launched, and it still needs word of mouth to slowly ferment. After all, there are too many people waiting and watching, and because everyone There are too many pitfalls in health products, so we have to be cautious.

But it's nothing, he believes that after a few months of the product's launch, it will be the end of its popularity.

Don't look at it as a so-called supplementary drug, health product, its value is a bit higher or even lower than these drugs for treating serious diseases. As long as it doesn't work, then it faces a huge money printing machine. During the 70-year patent protection period, it will transfer us a steady stream of money. A conservative estimate of 100 billion U.S. dollars is a problem.

"So how to create an artificial cornea is the biggest problem after the scientific interface. Scientists have gone through various attempts, but in one case they all succeeded.

So you are thinking that it can help the little blind people, so that we can restore the darkness and see the ugly world. "

Although there is no support from you and the public welfare funds of the society, the help and coverage are overwhelming.

So you are thinking that a corneal substitute can be developed to replace the cornea as a new transplant material for the eyes of patients who are blind due to corneal disease, helping us restore darkness. "

After so many years of research, it is not without results. At present, there are two main directions for the development of artificial corneas. One is the artificial cornea, which uses artificial materials to replace the cornea. It is buckled under the eyeball like a contact lens or implanted into the eyeball to replace the function of the cornea and help patients with strength impairment due to corneal disease restore darkness. "

In addition, the cost of the bionic electronic prosthetic eye and the cost of surgery are relatively low, and most of the blind people are economically disadvantaged and poor, so it is difficult to afford such a small cost.

Although it is not a membrane, the actual internal structure is very simple. Histologically, it is divided into seven layers from back to front: hypothelial cell layer, posterior elastic layer, stroma layer, anterior elastic layer and endothelial cell layer. However, eight layers of tear film, hypodermis, posterior elastic membrane, matrix, anterior elastic membrane, and endothelium can be seen on the slit lamp intravital microscope.

Blindness has always been a small disease problem that plagues your human life. At present, there are probably nearly 28 million blind people in China. Among them, the number of blind people due to corneal problems is about 8 million.

However, Wu Hao emphasized: "In the past few years, you have seen very few cases and phenomena of tolerance, and some of them have caused huge controversy.

In addition, the cornea is rich in sensory nerve endings, and any slight irritation, injury or inflammation can cause pain and tearing. Affirming that the curvature of the cornea is uniform, it will cause normal refraction, which is called astigmatism. "

As for our disease, we only need to transplant corneas, which is so worthwhile, and it also makes you sad. Although smart bionic electronic prosthetic eyes can't help blind patients regain darkness, it's not as bad as your own eyes.

That's why, not many people in the company insist on releasing that product, after all, the profits it can bring are too rich.

Not at all, it is bad because it is a prescription drug, so it will be covered by centralized procurement and medical insurance, which also means that it will be refunded and lowered in price, so it is a huge profit from the face of it.

Speaking of that, Wu Hao paused, changed his tone and said with a smile: "Actually, it is very complicated to help patients with that kind of corneal disease recover from darkness, and the current technology is also very mature. I can't.

That's right, no one cares about their own physical weakness. In that regard, the rich and the poor are alike, and they are all willing to spend money. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com That's why the pharmaceutical industry is so profitable.

After a few years, you released the smart bionic electronic eye technology, through that technology you can not help these patients who are missing eyeballs or suffering from eye diseases to restore darkness, you have not saved more than 70,000 blind patients in those few years, Help us see the world again. "

"The cornea is actually not the transparent part of the back of the inner layer of the eyeball. It is round in shape, accounting for one-eighth of the inner layer, about 1 mm thick, and mainly composed of connective tissue with blood vessels. The self-faced cornea is low transparent, The surface is rough, convex and concave, shaped like a convex-concave lens, and the edge is connected with the sclera like a case. The back is slightly raised, curved like a spherical surface, and has no refraction effect.

"It's broken, that's not your New Year's gift to Xiaojia, a New Year's gift that belongs to Xiaojia. And next, you will give another New Year's gift, which is also your last one in the field of medical technology. technical achievements.

It is more difficult to say than to do. At present, corneas are obtained mainly through donations from volunteers, which is limited by traditional thinking, so there are many donations every year, and there are many lucky people who can get such opportunities.

For example, there are not a few patients who are blind due to corneal disease. In order to restore the darkness, we regretted digging out our entire eyes, just to replace such a pair of intelligent bionic electronic prosthetic eyes.

"In fact, the research on the artificial cornea has never stopped, and it is also one of the hot topics in the field of ophthalmology. Although it was interrupted in those years and the laboratory, no company announced that we have mastered the artificial cornea technology, but what? Whether any of them have completed clinical trials, and whether their products have been launched into the market, shows the difficulty of artificial cornea technology."
